this is a sync with the current ALSA CVS tree (last code
modification: (Sun Feb 17 17:46:41 2002 UTC)) and 2.5.5-pre1 code and
contains:

- ALSA code version 0.9.0beta11
- Config.in files updated (separated associated drivers to submenus)
- global sound/Makefile fixes
- added inclusion of missing header files for alpha architecture
- fixed power functions (bad locking)
- fixed copy_to_user calls (removed them from spinlocks)
- fixed freeing of resource structures
- fixed AD1816A driver (inverted volume controls)
- added new functions to allocate ISA DMA memory (cleanups in ISA drivers)
- updated ISA PnP detection in wavefront driver
- added joystick support for VIA686
- updated ES1968 (Maestro2) driver
- moved joystick support for YMFPCI to the control interface
- updated Korg1212 driver

Fixes overflow checks in smb_encode_path().

Adds an obvious helper, converts callers.

hfs compile fixes

  this patch adds support for older MGA-TVO-B (found on G200-TV)
to matroxfb.

			Petr Vandrovec

(1) Updates documentation.
(2) Remove 'current' and 'previous' hardware fields. X just do not play fair,
    and one cannot assume anything about current hardware state.
(3) Changes algorithm for computing PLL parameters to one used by Matrox. On
    recent chips (G550) there are no limits for PLL, you just have to try
    couple of possible combinations to find which one works on this
    particualr hardware.
(4) Add code which can intialize G450/G550 when BIOS did not initalize it
    (non-ia32 hardware, secondary devices on ia32 hardware).

* move socket clearing code from sock_alloc to sock_alloc_inode, so
  root of socketfs does not contain garbage, and we have all initialization
  in one place
* add initialization of passcred to zero - otherwise it is left on some
  random value, causing at least autobind() to randomly fail on
  unix sockets

* ipx needs cleared ipx_sk, mainly intrfc pointer member.
  Fixes boottime oops.

The patch has been changed like you wanted, with page->zone
shoved into page->flags. I've also pulled the thing up to
your latest changes from linux.bkbits.net so you should be
able to just pull it into your tree from:

- pte_offset_map2 => pte_offset_map_nested
- pte_unmap2 => pte_unmap_nested

adds simple support for atomically-mapped PTEs. On highmem systems this enables the allocation of the pagetables in highmem.

- the new vmalloc_to_page() interface should be used to determine the physical page a given vmalloc() area virtual address is mapped to.

This patch (+ BK changeset) converts the meye driver to the new DMA API,
this is necessary for the driver to be used in 2.5. 

Stelian.

ChangeSet@1.332, 2002-02-15 16:35:31+01:00, stelian@popies.net
  Convert to the new DMA API and allocate separate DMA pages instead of one big buffer.

Just the usual removal of the dead global arrays and associated cruft.
(Thistime not affecting lvm, which BTW. doesn't compile currently anyway
;-).

The end_request() function familiy (not the global one, but the IDE
specific ones), did bear a permuted parameter ordering.  After fixing
this it turned out that at all places the huk parameter wasn't the
hwgroup, but just the drive in question itself.  I have changed this to
be more sane, which allowed to remove many unneccessary code
duplication, or rather obfuscation, in between the __ide_end_request()
and ide_end_request() functions.  This simplification is actually the
"spreading" part of the game.

A forward-port.  This is the code which prevents ENOSPC
errors from exposing stale data within filesystems.

- in generic_file_write(), if prepare_write() fails, truncate
  the file to drop any part-added blocks.

- in __block_write_full_page(), if we hit an error,  push
  whatever buffers we _have_ mapped into the file out to disk.

- in __block_prepare_write(), if we hit an error, zero out
  any blocks which we did manage to map into the file.  This
  is because the caller won't be doing any writing to those
  blocks due to the error.

A forward port.  At present, msync() does not report errors
from EIO or ENOSPC.  fsync() has the same bug for mapped pages
against the affected fd.

The patch correctly propagates these errors back up from
writepage so that fsync and msync correctly report errors.

It's fairly important - msync is the only way we have
of reporting ENOSPC against sparse mappings.

Of course, you can still silently lose your data if it's kswapd who
gets ENOSPC during writepage.  I have 3/4 of a patch for that.  It
records the data loss so that a later msync() will report the bad
news.

This patch also adds an implementation of msync(MS_ASYNC), because
it was easy.

A forward-port.  ext2, minix and sysv aren't handling directories
correctly when IS_SYNC is in place.  They call waitfor_one_page(),
but forgot to start the I/O.

The patch also moves waitfor_one_page and writeout_one_page
into fs/buffer.c, so mm/filemap.c now does not mention buffer_head
at all.

Here's the x86 BUG() implementation we discussed the other day.

I also have the rework of the header files which avoids
instantiation of strings in headers and saves 100-200k.
However that is only needed for gcc 2.X.  I assume that
by the time 2.6 is in use, gcc-3.x will be the preferred
compiler.

Tidyup init/exit for nfsd module

move nfsd_init into an initcall with other module
startup.  This means that "initialized" isn't needed for
any of the files that use it, as the bits are always initialised if
in use.

Cleanup the syscall interface to nfsd

1/ add an "owner" field to the nfsd_linkage structure
2/ grab a reference to that module before calling the syscall
3/ Remove the reference counting from inside the module
4/ Always allow nfsd module to be called, even if compile with
	CONFIG_NFSD == N
   ( but not if CONFIG_MODULES also == N)

Use MKDEV for making device number from components
