o The following patch cleans up sysfs_rename_dir(). It now checks the
  return code of kobject_set_name() and propagates the error code to its
  callers. Because of this there are changes in the following two APIs. Both
  return int instead of void.

int sysfs_rename_dir(struct kobject * kobj, const char *new_name)
int kobject_rename(struct kobject * kobj, char *new_name)

[note, I changed this a bit to be nicer on the system log, greg k-h]

The following patch fixes the race involved between unregistering a kobject
and simultaneously opeing a corresponding attribute file in sysfs.

Ideally sysfs should take a ref.  to the kobject as long as it has dentries
referring to the kobjects, but because of current limitations in
module/kobject ref counting, sysfs's pinning of kobject leads to
hang/delays in rmmod of certain modules.  The patch checks for unhashed
dentries in check_perm() while opening a sysfs file.  If the dentry is
still hashed then it goes ahead and takes the ref to kobject.  This done
under the per dentry lock.  It does this in the inline routine
sysfs_get_kobject(dentry).

1) kobject_set_name-cleanup-01.patch

This patch corrects the following by checking the reutrn code from
kobject_set_name().

bus_add_driver()
bus_register()
sys_dev_register()



o The following patch cleansup the kobject_set_name() users. Basically checking
  return code from kobject_set_name(). There can be error returns like -ENOMEM
  or -EFAULT from kobject_set_name() if the name length exceeds KOBJ_NAME_LEN.

This patch adds sysfs class support to the Cosa driver. I have verified it
compiles but do not have the hardware to test it. If someone could that
would be helpful.

Thanks to Andrew Morton for pointing this out to me.

M68k: Remove superfluous whitespace that hurts my eyes with `let

spaces in front of tabs. `diff -urNbB' shows no difference before/after.

* bug fix: make sure 'nsect' member of struct ata_queued_cmd is
initialized each time a cmd is re-used.  Only affects PIO data xfers,
which nobody uses.
* slightly change the way a device's flags are printed out.  currently
the only flag is 'lba48', but soon 'wcache' will appear also.
* add WB-cache-related constants and macros to linux/ata.h

This fixes a corruption problem with overlapping copyarea()'s
in the radeon driver.

At the moment, on PPC64, the instruction we use for wmb() doesn't
order cacheable stores vs. non-cacheable stores.  (It does order
cacheable vs. cacheable and non-cacheable vs. non-cacheable.)  This
causes problems in the sort of driver code that writes stuff into
memory, does a wmb(), then a writel to the device to start a DMA
operation to read the stuff it has just written to memory.

This patch solves the problem by adding a sync instruction before the
store in the write* and out* macros.  The sync is a full barrier that
orders all loads and stores, cacheable or not.  The patch also moves
the eieio instruction that we had after the store to before the load
in the read* and in* macros.  With the sync before the store, we don't
need an eieio as well in a sequence of stores, but we still need an
eieio between a store and a load.

I think it is better to do this than to turn wmb() into a full memory
barrier (a sync instruction) because the full barrier is slow and
isn't needed with the sync in the write*/out* macros.  This way,
write*/out* are fully ordered with respect to preceding loads and
stores, which is what driver writers expect, and we avoid penalizing
users of wmb() who are only doing cacheable stores.

	ntfs_fill_super() and ntfs_read_inode_mount() cleaned up.  Removed
the kludges around the first iget() on NTFS.  Instead of playing with
(re)setting ->s_op we have the MFT_FILE inode set up by explicit new_inode()/
set ->i_ino/insert_inode_hash()/call ntfs_read_inode_mount() directly.
That kills the need of second super_operations and it allows to return
error from ntfs_read_inode_mount() without resorting to ugly "poisoning"
tricks.

Ok, well there aren't too many folks using an QLA2100 in a fabric
topology, if there were, they wouldn't have gotten very far in the
driver load sequence.  I've been able to scrape-up a QLA2100, 1Gig
switch, and an JBOD.  Upon loading the 8.00.00b12k driver, the
firmware successfully logs into the switch, the driver receives a
LOOP_UP event, but, the kernel panics due to NULL pointer dereference
while trying to perform an RFT_ID  -- the attached patch against
current scsi-misc-2.6 fixes that problem.

The patch to close all the open/close/hotplug races in sr left the
module refcounting broken so that the ULD housing the CD device now
can't be removed until the device itself is removed.

This patch (structurally identical to the one for sd.c to perform the
same function) fixes the module refcounting.

This fixes a situation where the handler can exit too early.

one of the macros for get_thread_area extracts the wrong bit.  The

Set up SMT for the domain scheduler on x86-64.  This way the scheduling
works better on HyperThreading aware systems; in particular it will use
both physical CPUs before sharing two virtual CPUs on the same package. 
This improves performance considerably in some cases.

From: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

PowerPC64 ABI has ".funcname" (the actual function) and "funcname" (the
function descriptor) and we strip off the dots in "dedotify" called from
module_frob_arch_sections().  We need to also de-dotify the corresponding
names in the __version section.

Actually has nothing to do with __down, it's just that we only print the
first symbol whose version is missing.

From: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

It turns out that we are not handling the TABDLY bits of the termios
c_oflag field correctly on PPC, PPC64 and Alpha.  These three architectures
have a value for XTABS that is different from the TAB3 value.  POSIX
specifies that setting the TABDLY field to TAB3 should result in tabs being
expanded to spaces.  In n_tty.c:opost() we check for O_TABDLY(tty) ==
XTABS, which is fine on most architectures because they have XTABS == TAB3.

I think the right thing to do is just to change the definition of XTABS to
be the same as TAB3 on these architectures.  The patch below does this for
PPC and PPC64 (and I suggest the Alpha maintainer should do the same).  At
the moment, applications using either the XTABS or TAB3 values won't get
the expected behaviour.  With this patch, apps that use TAB3 will get the
expected behaviour.  Apps that use XTABS will need to be recompiled (but
note that the POSIX-specified name to use is TAB3 not XTABS).

    I would just like to say that I have no difficulties with intermezzo
    being rm -rf'd.  There are probably only a handful of users.  

    In the past 4 years nobody has supported InterMezzo sufficiently for
    it to become successful.  I have been fortunate to get really good support
    for the Lustre project.  So I have focussed on that.  Lustre 1.X has
    become really solid.

    The disconnected operation, caching and mirroring functionality of
    InterMezzo will become available in Lustre as a new feature in version 2. 

     So I see no point in keeping InterMezzo if it is a nuisance. 


The patch removes the references to intermezzo.  Please do a `bk rm' of
fs/intermezzo.
