2005-06-25[PATCH] Cleanup patch for process freezingChristoph Lameter
1. Establish a simple API for process freezing defined in linux/include/sched.h: frozen(process) Check for frozen process freezing(process) Check if a process is being frozen freeze(process) Tell a process to freeze (go to refrigerator) thaw_process(process) Restart process frozen_process(process) Process is frozen now 2. Remove all references to PF_FREEZE and PF_FROZEN from all kernel sources except sched.h 3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver 4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls. 5. Some whitespace cleanup 6. Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check PF_FROZEN). This patch does not address the problem of freeze_processes() violating the rule that a task may only modify its own flags by setting PF_FREEZE. This is not clean in an SMP environment. freeze(process) is therefore not SMP safe! Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <christoph@lameter.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-06-23[PATCH] Improve CD/DVD packet driver write performancePeter Osterlund
This patch improves write performance for the CD/DVD packet writing driver. The logic for switching between reading and writing has been changed so that streaming writes are no longer interrupted by read requests.

2005-05-20[PATCH] packet driver permission checking fixPeter Osterlund
If you tried to open a packet device first in read-only mode and then a second time in read-write mode, the second open succeeded even though the device was not correctly set up for writing. If you then tried to write data to the device, the writes would fail with I/O errors. This patch prevents that problem by making the second open fail with -EBUSY.

2005-05-17[PATCH] CDRW/DVD packet writing data corruption fixPeter Osterlund
I found a bug in the packet writing driver that could cause data corruption. The problem arised if the driver got a write request for a sector in a "zone" it was already working on. In that case it was supposed to queue the write request until it was done processing earlier requests for the same zone, and instead work on some other zone in the mean time. However, if there was no other zone to work on, the driver would initiate two packet_data objects for the same zone, causing unpredictable things to happen.

2005-05-16[PATCH] Fix root hole in pktcdvdPeter Osterlund
ioctl_by_bdev may only be used INSIDE the kernel. If the "arg" argument refers to memory that is accessed by put_user/get_user in the ioctl function, the memory needs to be in the kernel address space (that's the set_fs(KERNEL_DS) doing in the ioctl_by_bdev). This works on i386 because even with set_fs(KERNEL_DS) the user space memory is still accessible with put_user/get_user. That is not true for s390. In short the ioctl implementation of the pktcdvd device driver is horribly broken.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
