      dccp ccid-2: Ack Vector interface clean-up · f17a37c9
      Gerrit Renker authored 
      This patch brings the Ack Vector interface up to date. Its main purpose is
to lay the basis for the subsequent patches of this set, which will use the
new data structure fields and routines.

There are no real algorithmic changes, rather an adaptation:

 (1) Replaced the static Ack Vector size (2) with a #define so that it can
     be adapted (with low loss / Ack Ratio, a value of 1 works, so 2 seems
     to be sufficient for the moment) and added a solution so that computing
     the ECN nonce will continue to work - even with larger Ack Vectors.

 (2) Replaced the #defines for Ack Vector states with a complete enum.

 (3) Replaced #defines to compute Ack Vector length and state with general
     purpose routines (inlines), and updated code to use these.

 (4) Added a `tail' field (conversion to circular buffer in subsequent patch).

 (5) Updated the (outdated) documentation for Ack Vector struct.

 (6) All sequence number containers now trimmed to 48 bits.

 (7) Removal of unused bits:
     * removed dccpav_ack_nonce from struct dccp_ackvec, since this is already
       redundantly stored in the `dccpavr_ack_nonce' (of Ack Vector record);
     * removed Elapsed Time for Ack Vectors (it was nowhere used);
     * replaced semantics of dccpavr_sent_len with dccpavr_ack_runlen, since
       the code needs to be able to remember the old run length;
     * reduced the de-/allocation routines (redundant / duplicate tests).

      Staging: ath6kl: remove empty files that mess with 'distclean' · 557a3dac
      Greg Kroah-Hartman authored 
      These two .h files would get removed from the tree when doing
	make distclean

It turns out they are not needed at all, so just delete them which fixes
people's git trees when doing development.

      floppy: fix another use-after-free · d017bf6b
      Vivek Goyal authored 
      While scanning the floopy code due to c093ee4f ("floppy: fix
use-after-free in module load failure path"), I found one more instance
of trying to access disk->queue pointer after doing put_disk() on
gendisk.  For some reason , floppy moule still loads/unloads fine.  The
object is probably still around with right pointer values.

 o There seems to be one more instance of trying to cleanup the request
   queue after we have called put_disk() on associated gendisk.

 o This fix is more out of code inspection.  Even without this fix for
   some reason I am able to load/unload floppy module without any
   issues.

 o Floppy module loads/unloads fine after the fix.

      TTY: move .gitignore from drivers/char/ to drivers/tty/vt/ · 1db01135
      Greg Kroah-Hartman authored 
      The autogenerated files (consolemap_deftbl.c and defkeymap.c) need to
be ignored by git, so move the .gitignore file that was doing it to the
properly location now that the files have moved as well.

      ipw2x00: remove the right /proc/net entry · 151f52f0
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Commit 27ae60f8 ("ipw2x00: replace "ieee80211" with "libipw" where
appropriate") changed DRV_NAME to be "libipw", but didn't properly fix
up the places where it was used to specify the name for the /proc/net/
directory.

For backwards compatibility reasons, that directory name remained
"ieee80211", but due to the DRV_NAME change, the error case printouts
and the cleanup functions now used "libipw" instead.  Which made it all
fail badly.

For example, on module unload as reported by Randy:

  WARNING: at fs/proc/generic.c:816 remove_proc_entry+0x156/0x35e()
  name 'libipw'

because it's trying to unregister a /proc directory that obviously
doesn't even exist.

Clean it all up to use DRV_PROCNAME for the actual /proc directory name.
