fe55c45236 [PATCH] ext3: remove unnecessary race then retry in ext3_get_block
The extra race-with-truncate-then-retry logic around
ext3_get_block_handle(), which was inherited from ext2, becomes unecessary
for ext3, since we have already obtained the ei->truncate_sem in
ext3_get_block_handle() before calling ext3_alloc_branch().  The
ei->truncate_sem is already there to block concurrent truncate and block
allocation on the same inode.  So the inode's indirect addressing tree
won't be changed after we grab that semaphore.

We could, after get the semaphore, re-verify the branch is up-to-date or
not.  If it has been changed, then get the updated branch.  If we still
need block allocation, we will have a safe version of the branch to work
with in the ext3_find_goal()/ext3_splice_branch().

The code becomes more readable after remove those retry logic.  The patch
also clean up some gotos in ext3_get_block_handle() to make it more
readable.

f8e08a8466 [PATCH] reiserfs endianness: sanitize reiserfs_key union
Since we only access reiserfs_key ->u.k_offset_v2 guts in four helper
functions, we are free to sanitize those, as long as

- layout of the structure is unchanged (it's on-disk object)

- behaviour of these helpers is same as before.

Patch kills the mess with endianness-dependent bitfields and replaces them
with a single __le64.  Helpers are switched to straightforward shift/and/or.

Benefits:

- exact same definitions for little- and big-endian architectures; no ifdefs
  in sight.

- generate the same code on little-endian and improved on big-endian.

- doesn't rely on lousy bitfields handling in gcc codegenerator.

- happens to be standard C (unsigned long long is not a valid type for a
  bitfield; it's a gccism and not well-implemented one, at that).

6b9f5829e6 [PATCH] reiserfs endianness: comp_short_keys() cleanup
comp_short_keys() massaged into sane form, which kills the last place where
pointer to in_core_key (or any object containing such) would be cast to or
from something else.  At that point we are free to change layout of
in_core_key - nothing depends on it anymore.

So we drop the mess with union in there and simply use (unconditional) __u64
k_offset and __u8 k_type instead; places using in_core_key switched to those.
That gives _far_ better code than current mess - on all platforms.

212079cf4e [PATCH] aio: remove superfluous kiocb member initialization
This patch removes superfluous kiocb member initialization in the AIO
allocation and deallocation path.  For example, in really_put_req(),
right before kiocb is returned to slab, 5 variables are reset to NULL.
The same variables will be initialized at the kiocb allocation time,
so why bother reset them knowing that they will be set to valid data
at alloc time?  Another example: ki_retry is initialized in __aio_get_req,
but is initialized again in io_submit_one.

e5bdd883a1 [PATCH] new valid_signal() function
This patch adds a new function valid_signal() that tests if its argument is
a valid signal number.

The reasons for adding this new function are:

- some code currently testing _NSIG directly has off-by-one errors.
  Using this function instead avoids such errors.

- some code currently tests unsigned signal numbers for <0 which is
  pointless and generates warnings when building with gcc -W.  Using this
  function instead avoids such warnings.

I considered various places to add this function but eventually settled on
include/linux/signal.h as the most logical place for it.  If there's some
reason this is a bad choice then please let me know (hints as to a better
location are then welcome of course).

Also, don't reset the BMC on a BT interface.  That's probably not a good

should only be a last resort.  Also, that register is also used to
enable/disable interrupts to the BT; modifying it may screw up the
interrupts.

a40920b42a [PATCH] vgacon: set vc_hi_font_mask correctly
When allocating a new VC with vgacon_init(), the font is shared across all
the VGA consoles.  However, the font mask was always set to the default
value of zero in visual_init(), even if we were using 512 character fonts
at the time.

Moreover, code in vgacon.c:vga_do_font_op() didn't reset the mask if the
console driver thinks it's already in 512 character mode.  This means that
to *fix* it, you'd actually have to take the console out of 512 character
mode and then set it back.

The attached sets vc_hi_font_mask in vgacon_init() for any new consoles
opened if the vgacon driver is already in 512 character mode, solving this.

This bug goes back to 2.4.18 at least, probably earlier.

4750e2c0c5 [PATCH] add EOWNERDEAD and ENOTRECOVERABLE version 2
Add EOWNERDEAD and ENOTRECOVERABLE to all architectures.  This is to
support the upcoming patches for robust mutexes.

We normally don't reserve parts of the name/number space for external
patches, but robust mutexes are sufficiently popular and important to
justify it in this case.

1181c1f923 [PATCH] noop-iosched: kill O(N) merge scan
Profiling hit rates on merging shows that the last merge hint works
extremely well for most work loads.  So lets kill the linear merge scan in
noop-iosched, so it provides O(1) run time for any operation.

Testing credits go to Ken Chen from Intel.

kallsyms does not consider SYMBOL_PREFIX of C.  Consequently it does not

6c9e7376be [PATCH] LifeView FlyTV Platinum FM: GPIO usage
This is take two of a patch that should have appeared two days ago, before
yesterday's "remote control" patch for the same card.

This patch sets unconnected GPIO to Output to keep them from floating (just
good driver writing practice, being nice to the chip), and uses GPIO16 to
switch TV vs.  FM - this pin switches inputs onto the tuner, as well as the
audio output from the tuner into the 7135 SIF input.  Consequently, FM
radio support is being un-commented because it's now working (sort of, see
below).

These two patches get the card almost fully operational; there appears to
be a bug in tda8290.c remaining that puts an offset onto the tuned
frequency in FM radio mode.  We're investigating.

Subject says it ...  this card's IR microcontroller design and attachment

9a3bb30173 [PATCH] reiserfs: make resize option auto-get new device size
It's trivial for the resize option to auto-get the underlying device size,
while it's harder for the user.  I've copied the code from jfs.

Since of the different reiserfs option parser (which does not use the
superior match_token used by almost every other filesystem), I've had to
use the "resize=auto" and not "resize" option to specify this behaviour.
Changing the option parser to the kernel one wouldn't be bad but I've no
time to do this cleanup in this moment.

Btw, the mount(8) man page should be updated to include this option.  Cc
the relevant people, please (I hope I cc'ed the right people).
