From: viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> generic_osync_inode() got an extra argument - mapping and doesn't calculate inode->i_mapping anymore. Callers updated and switched to use of ->f_mapping.

From: viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> More uses of ->i_mapping switched to uses of ->f_mapping - stuff that was not caught by the earlier f_mapping conversion.

From: viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> In a bunch of places we used file->f_dentry->d_inode->i_sem to protect fdatasync et.al. Replaced with corrent file->f_mapping->host->i_sem - the object we are protecting is address_space, so we want an exclusion that would work for redirected ->i_mapping. For normal files (not coda, not bdev) it's all the same, of course - there we have file->f_mapping->host == file->f_dentry->d_inode and change above is an equivalent transfromation.

From: viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> A lot of places used to use ->f_dentry->d_inode->i_mapping all over the place. Replaced with use of ->f_mapping. For now - just the places where we literally could do search-and-replace.

From: viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> New field of struct file - ->f_mapping. We maintain the following: file->f_dentry->d_inode->i_mapping == file->f_mapping for all opened files.

From: viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> presto_journal_close() switched to passing struct presto_file_data * instead of bogus struct file *. The only field of struct file we used to look at was file->private_data and most of the callers allocated on-stack struct file, assigned file.private_data and passed the sucker to presto_journal_close(). Idiocy removed. Looks like they started with case where the data they wanted all along was, indeed, in ->private_data of already available struct file, so they just passed pointer to struct file. And when they found that they need to call it in other places where there was no such struct file, they'd done it the dumb way instead of fixing the prototype...

From: viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> Trivial cleanup in blkdev_put() - replace bdev->bd_inode->i_bdev with bdev.

The first of a series which move us toward blockdev hotplug support. After these we have achieved the following: a) For "normal" (not bdevfs) inodes of block devices we never look at ->i_mapping. b) For the same inodes we only look at ->i_bdev in bd_acquire() where it's used only as "here's what we'd found the last time" sort of cached value. If it's NULL, we just recalculate it. c) Lots of messy expressions had been trimmed down, while we are at it. (a) and (b) allow us to start doing proper block hotplug - we can destroy the association between inode and bdev at any time, unhash bdev in question and have new open() do everything from scratch, without waiting for old opened files to close. The goal is to be able to say "revoke everything over that gendisk"/"revoke that partition" and have it do the right thing. This patch: Where the old code called (block device) ->open(inode, file), use ->open(inode->i_bdev->bd_inode, file). Changes in drivers: * none to those that only used inode->i_bdev and inode->i_rdev in their ->open() (bdev->bd_inode->i_bdev == bdev, so we are OK) * floppy.c and floppy98.c used to call permission(inode, ...) in floppy_open(). Switched to permission(file->f_dentry->d_inode, ...)

From: Ben Slusky <sluskyb@paranoiacs.org> We need to set the hardsect_size of the loop device to that of the real device. The loop device advertises a block size of 1024 even when configured over a cdrom. When burning a ext2 on a cd, and mounting it directly, I get: blocksize=2048; when I losetup /dev/loop0 /dev/cdrom, and then try to mount, I get: blocksize=1024; and then misaligned transfer; this results in not being able to read the superblock. The loop device should be changed to export the same blocksize of the underlying device

From: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org> This patch adds support for the Kyro graphics boards (STG4000/PowerVR 3/etc= .) to 2.6. This is a direct port and substantial cleanup / rewrite of the 2.4 driver that's available in the sh64 tree at linux-sh.bkbits.net. Some of the overlay code and the STG4000 bits are still a bit ugly, so be forewarned.

From: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org> Here's a rather large update for SH (this is a bit large mainly since a number of things have piled up, and Linus didn't want any of this during feature freeze time). All of these changes are specific to the SH platform, and as such, shouldn't effect any other platforms.

This dead code was introduced in kernel 2.4.19 and hasn't been updated since.

Noticed by Christophe Saout <christophe@saout.de>. This code has been dead since kernel 2.4.2 and it is bogus too.

Patch from Bjorn Helgaas This patch makes ACPI serial ports work right when the serial driver is built as a module. Previously, loading worked fine, but we didn't clean up on module removal.

Patch from Bjorn Helgaas I propose the following HCDP Kconfig patch. It makes HCDP selectable only when serial console has been selected. One desirable side effect is that both are then available only when statically compiled in (i.e., not built as a module). The HCDP support doesn't actually depend on IA64, but I left that in for now because nobody else implements support for it and I don't want people confused by a selectable option that doesn't do anything. Maybe a "depends on EFI" or something will be useful eventually.

Obviously almost noone uses the pdeath_signal feature, since this has gone unnoticed for quite some time. This patch calls the function that does the right locking for the context of this call (inside exit_notify). The names of the signal.c entrypoints are a little confusing.

The spinlock was held while calling functions that could block, while simultaneously being at all times inside the context of module init/exit. Thanks to DaveM.

The bug was caused by a flag being or'ed against an unitialized value, rather than setting the flag correctly.

correctly even on 32-bit hosts. As an added bonus, it's faster, too. Run "unwcheck" by default, but for now, don't let unwcheck errors cause the kernel build to fail.

This patch fixes DMA bugs on x86-64 and ia64 machines. The driver was using commands that only support 32bit addresses in places that could return 64bit addresses. One place was DMAing off the stack. The other place was causing problems on x86-64 machines by calling pci_map() functions on a region allocated by pci_alloc_consistent().

This patch fixes two minor bugs. It allows zero length write commands through to devices. It also prevents the writing of any '\0' characters at the end of version numbers to ips's /proc/scsi files.
