Fix a radix-tree bug spotted by Vladimir Saveliev <vs@namesys.com>. Each step in the radix tree spans six address bits. So a height=6 tree spans 36-bits worth of nodes. On 32-bit machines radix_tree_gang_lookup() doesn't handle this right - at the 12TB mark it wraps back to zero, and returns pages at quite wrong indices. The patch fixes all that up, and tidies a couple of things. A user-space test harness was developed so that the code can be sanely tested. It is at http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/rtth.tar.gz

Patch from Martin Bligh and Dave Hansen If a PAE machine has 1G of memory and you set PAGE_OFFSET to 2G, the kernel will only instantiate a PMD to cover the 2G-3G region. But another PMD is needed for the 3G-4G region for the APIC and possibly an extended vmalloc region. So the patch changes the code to instantiate PMDs out to the end of physical memory. It's a no-op for PAGE_OFFSET=3G, and _could_ be part of the CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET patch. But it seems a reasonable generalisation anyway.

Ancient patch From Bill Irwin The patch is intended to show improved information about where the memory went during OOM-killing events. - when the OOM killer fails and the system panics, calls show_free_areas() - reorganize show_free_areas() to use for_each_zone() - add per-cpu stats to show_free_areas() - tags output from show_free_areas() with node and zone information

fail_writepage() does not work. Its activate_page() call cannot activate the page because it is not on the LRU. So perform that function (more efficiently) in the VM. Remove fail_writepage() and, if the filesystem does not implement ->writepage() then activate the page from shrink_list(). A special case is tmpfs, which does have a writepage, but which sometimes wants to activate the pages anyway. The most important case is when there is no swap online and we don't want to keep all those pages on the inactive list. So just as a tmpfs special-case, allow writepage() to return WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE, and handle that in the VM. Also, the whole idea of allowing ->writepage() to return -EAGAIN, and handling that in the caller has been reverted. If a writepage() implementation wants to back out and not write the page, it must redirty the page, unlock it and return zero. (This is Hugh's preferred way). And remove the now-unneeded shmem_writepages() - shmem inodes are marked as `memory backed' so it will not be called. And remove the test for non-null ->writepage() in generic_file_mmap(). Memory-backed files _are_ mmappable, and they do not have a writepage(). It just isn't called. So the locking rules for writepage() are unchanged. They are: - Called with the page locked - Returns with the page unlocked - Must redirty the page itself if it wasn't all written. But there is a new, special, hidden, undocumented, secret hack for tmpfs: writepage may return WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE to tell the VM to move the page to the active list. The page must be kept locked in this one case.

There's nopoint in walking through a lot of tmpfs or ramdisk pages when we're trying to clean memory. So if a memory-backed inode is discovered during writeback, skip the entire superblock.

Patch from Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com> (plus a few cleanups and a speedup from yours truly) Adds the semtimedop() function - semop with a timeout. Solaris has this. It's apparently worth a couple of percent to Oracle throughput and given the simplicity, that is sufficient benefit for inclusion IMO. This patch hooks up semtimedop() only for ia64 and ia32.

The pte_chain_unlock() needs to be outside the ifdef.

The read_zero() implementation for !CONFIG_MMU was very inefficient. This sped-up version has been tested and acked by Greg Ungerer.

Back out the sys_syslog()-based printk-from-userspace and replace it with Ben's /proc/kmsg version. Requires a `mknod /dev/kmsg c 1 11'.

Patch from Robert Love <rml@tech9.net> We can never get rid of it if we do not deprecate it - so do so and print a stern warning to those who still run bdflush daemons.

The PF_MEMALLOC handling got broken somewhere, and it is now possible for a PF_MEMALLOC process to reenter page reclaim. Change it to fail the allocation if we're PF_MEMALLOC and there are zero pages free.

This removes calls to function which disappeared during last Iphase driver update. Since this update, Iphase driver has been using plain modern pci style init. Problem wasn't noticed until Adrian Bunk tried to build non-modular kernel (I only tested the modularized driver). Everybody else seemed happy :o)

scrup is using memcpy even when the memory areas src, dest overlap. The key is to use memmove which handles overlapping memory gracefully.

2.5 currently tries to register disk sda twice. Not nice and now we use sysfs to do name to dev_t mapping, I couldnt mount my root filesystem.

This driver does not need to use atomic operations on local variables.

Trivial but annoying: two printk() calls in drivers/scsi/hosts.c are missing '\n' Also, for some reason I have not yet investigated, shost_tp->name is NULL here. This should not be, eh? If it can be, we should do something to tidy up the printing of it.

This error message is uber annoying and needs to go. Non-root can flood the console with this junk on invalid SCSI CD-ROM ioctl(), and that is exactly what gnome-cd does. An illegal ioctl() returns an error to the program. That is sufficient - we do not need KERN_ERROR warnings all over the place. Especially when any user can cause them at any rate.

In some configurations, parport and bttv request a module inside their module_init function. Drop the lock around mod->init(), change module->live to module->state so we can detect modules which are in init.

module-init-tools 0.9 and newer supply a replacement depmod, so it's safe to run again. Also, some external programs like PCMCIA and mkinitrd really want the directory hierarchy in /lib/modules back again: it makes no difference to the tools (since 0.9), so revert it.

Relatively straightforward fixes for intermezzo problems in 2.5.50. I think all of them related to: - two missing headers - use of timespec instead of time_t.

This allowed a lock to be removed. Also removed the MOD_* functions, and some remove logic was cleaned up by Oliver Neukum.

Here are minimal usb_find_interface() patches for the core, usblp and scanner. Basic design is: - device major (USB_MAJOR for now) and minor are stored in probe() function to struct usb_interface as kdev_t - open() can use new core function usb_find_interface() to find matching device in drivers device list - disconnect() will set kdev_t struct usb_interface to NODEV, so open wont open it anymore without new probe() I tested these patches and they work for me. I will work on small patches of other work in these drivers (like removal of lock_kernel/unlock_kernel in usblp, fixing the disconnect problems in both drivers etc.). Those patches would be very small too, but there will be quite many.
