The following two patches seem to be needed to export the requisite
symbols needed for fully modular builds of the new serial drivers in
2.5.28.

The old form of designated initializers are obsolete: we need to
replace them with the ISO C forms before 2.6.  Gcc has always
supported both forms anyway.

From Rusty's Trivial Patch - thanks.

Trying to open a non-present port (for configuration) causes us to
to endlessly loop (by returning -ERESTARTSYS).  We should be returning
success.  This cset fixes this.

Allocate positive instead of negative line numbers when 8250.c
registers a new port with the core.  This bug could cause
registrations to erroneously fail, or oopsen when the pcmcia
serial device is ejected.

These drivers are now part of drivers/serial

the global irq-lock debugging

cpqfcTSinit.c:
  Fix usage of Scsi_Cmnd->request so it will compile.

 - introduce new type of context-switch locking, this is a must-have for
   ia64 and sparc64.

 - load_balance() bug noticed by Scott Rhine and myself: scan the
   whole list to find imbalance number of tasks, not just the tail
   of the list.

 - sched_yield() fix: use current->array not rq->active.

Switch to set_current_state() and move before add_wait_queue().
Updated README from master HTML file.
Fixed devfs entry leak in <devfs_readdir> when *readdir fails.

The patch below consolidates some duplicate code, reduces some
indentation, and adds a freeing of a page in mem_read() that could be left
unfreed, as far as I can see.

make cpqarray and cciss use these

Heading Rusty off at the pass...

This also changes and array initialiser...

get_spare recently became static and no-one told md_k.h

Sync_sbs tries to access the ->sb for the first rdev of an mddev.
This can oops as the wrong arg is given to list_entry, and also
if a define was faound to be failed, as failed devices have their ->sb
removed.  But that removal isn't necessary, so now an rdev will always
have an ->sb.

Define container_of which cast from member to struct with some type checking.

This is much like list_entry but is cearly for things other than lists.

List_entry now uses container_of.

  new vendor/device ID;
  redundant check removed from probe();

Dawson Engler's Stanford Checker reported this missing unlock to
LKML 11 July (amongst "56 potential lock/unlock bugs in 2.5.8").

Found by Simon Trimmer <simon@veritas.com>: shmem_file_write
failure path duplicates kunmap, causing oops holding kmap_lock.

Trivial: vfs_link in 2.5 checks S_ISDIR first, shmem_link
need not repeat it, but test crept back in at some stage.

Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> reported "Bug with shared
memory" to LKML 14 May: hang due to schedule in truncate_list_pages
called from .... shm_destroy holding shm_lock spinlock.  shm_destroy
needs that lock for shm_rmid, but it can be safely unlocked once link
from id to shp has been removed.

Here is a quick fix.  I would like to synchronize with the irq handler
changes as well.  Becouse right now I know that preemption is killing
the disk subsystem when moving data between disks using different
request queues...  In esp.  It get's me in to do_request() with a queue
in unplugged state.  (Not everything is my fault, after all :-).
