This patch reduces the size of struct hpsb_host and also removes semaphores from ieee1394_transactions.c. On i386, struct hpsb_host shrinks from 10656 bytes to 6688 bytes. This is accomplished by - using a single wait_queue for hpsb_get_tlabel instead of many instances of semaphores, - using a single lock to serialize access to all tlabel pools (the protected code regions are small, i.e. lock contention very low), - omitting the sysfs attribute tlabels_allocations. Drawback: In the rare case that a process needs to sleep because all transaction labels for the node are temporarily exhausted, it is also woken up if a tlabel for a different node became free, checks for an available tlabel, and is put to sleep again. The check is not costly and the situation occurs extremely rarely. (Tlabels are typically only exhausted if there was no context switch to the khpsbpkt thread which recycles tlables.) Therefore the benefit of reduced tpool size outweighs this drawback. The sysfs attributes tlabels_free and tlabels_mask are not compiled anymore unless CONFIG_IEEE1394_VERBOSEDEBUG is set. The by far biggest member of struct hpsb_host, the struct csr_control csr (5272 bytes on i386), is now placed at the end of struct hpsb_host. Note, hpsb_get_tlabel calls the macro wait_event_interruptible with a condition argument which has a side effect (allocation of a tlabel and manipulation of the packet). This side effect happens only if the condition is true. The patch relies on wait_event_interruptible not evaluating the condition again after it became true.

[PATCH 6/9] s390: qeth driver fixes [3/6] From: Frank Pavlic <fpavlic@de.ibm.com> fixed kernel panic caused by qeth driver: Using a bonding device qeth driver will realloc headroom for every skb coming from the bond device. Once this happens qeth frees the original skb and set the skb pointer to the new realloced skb. Under heavy transmit workload (e.g.UDP streams) through bond network device the qdio output queue might get full. In this case we return with EBUSY from qeth_send_packet. Returning to qeth_hard_start_xmit routine the skb address on the stack still points to the old address, which has been freed before. Returning from qeth_hard_start_xmit with EBUSY results in requeuing the skb. In this case it corrupts the qdisc queue and results in kernel panic. Signed-off-by: -

In some special case (padding because of sync or umount) it can be possible that summary information is not fit to the end of the erase block. In these cases the collecting of summary is disabled for this erase block. The problem was that this was not respected by jffs2_sum_add_kvec(). This patch fix this bug. Signed-off-by:

I think there is a bug in kmod.c: In __call_usermodehelper(), when kernel_thread(wait_for_helper, ...) return success, since wait_for_helper() might call complete() at any time, the sub_info should not be used any more. Normally wait_for_helper() take a long time to finish, you may not get problem for most of the case. But if you remove /sbin/modprobe, it may become easier for you to get a oop in khelper.

`make headers_check' wants to go and write stuff in /lib/modules, which requires root, whic is unfortunate. In fact, there's no _particular_ reason for headers_install to put it there either -- it can go into a subdirectory of the build tree in both cases. It's not intended to go directly into /usr/include, which is why we didn't put it there -- and we certainly don't want people screwing around with symlinking to it. It's for distributors to take away and do stuff with, so leaving it in $(objtree) is fine, even in the headers_install case. I picked $(objtree)/usr/include but I have no _particular_ preference for that; it just seemed reasonable. Signed-off-by:

Alpha currently fails 'make headers_check' in the 2.6.18-rc kernels. This patch fixes it, by moving the existing #ifdef __KERNEL__ in asm/page.h so that it covers everything that userspace shouldn't so, and by adding asm/compiler.h to the list of exported files so that its use within asm/byteorder.h is successful. [ Note that at least with GCC 4, <linux/compiler.h> doesn't do the forced inlining about which there are nasty comments (and a workaround) in <asm/compiler.h>, unless you set CONFIG_FORCED_INLINING. Rather than keep the mess you have in <asm/compiler.h> you could perhaps just make sure CONFIG_FORCED_INLINING=n is also honoured with GCC3, and make sure it cannot be set for Alpha? ] Signed-off-by:

This fixes a bunch of mislabelled and unlabelled #endifs in unistd.h and also cleans that up to conform with what's visible on other architectures, since the minimal fix for the error reported about would have involved a more intrusive patch, renesting other ifdefs.

We generate an <asm/foo.h> which includes either <asm-$ARCH/foo.h> or <asm-$ALTARCH/foo.h> as appropriate. But we were doing this dependent on whether the file in question existed in the _unexported_ tree, not the exported tree. So if a file was exported to userspace in one asm- directory but not the other, the generated file in asm/ was incorrect. This only changed the failure mode if it _was_ included from a nice #error to a less explicable #include failure -- but it also gave false errors in 'make headers_check' output. Fix it by looking in the right place instead. Signed-off-by:

If there is a problem in the connection, the SCSI mid-layer will eventually call srp_reset_host(), which will call srp_reconnect(), so we do not need to schedule a call to srp_reconnect_work() from srp_completion(). Removing this prevents srp_reset_host() from failing if a reconnect scheduled from srp_completion() is already in progress, which in turn was causing crashes as both SCSI midlayer and srp_reconnect() were cancelling commands.
