2005-09-22[PATCH] Fix mmap() of /dev/hpetKeir Fraser
The address passed to io_remap_pfn_range() in hpet_mmap() does not need to be converted using __pa(): it is already a physical address. This bug was found and the patch suggested by Clay Harris. I introduced this particular bug when making io_remap_pfn_range changes a few months ago. In fact mmap()ing /dev/hpet has *never* previously worked: before my changes __pa() was being executed on an ioremap()ed virtual address, which is also invalid.

2005-09-14[PATCH] hvc_console: start kernel thread before registering ttyAnton Blanchard
Its possible that we can write to the hvc_console tty as soon it is registered. Recently this started happening due to (what looks like) a change to the hotplug code. Unfortunately at this stage we have not started the khvcd kernel thread and oops. The solution is to start the kernel thread before registering the tty.

2005-09-11[WATCHDOG] i6300esb.patchDavid Hardeman
I wrote earlier to the list[1] asking for a driver for the watchdog included in the 6300ESB chipset. I got a 2.4 driver via private email from Ross Biro which I've changed into what I hope resembles a 2.6 driver (which was done by looking a lot at the watchdog drivers already in the 2.6 tree). I've attached the result, and I'm hoping to get some feedback on the coding as a first step. I can't actually test it on the hardware right now as I won't have physical access until April. So my own tests have been limited to "compiles-without-warnings" and "can-be-insmodded-in-other-machine-without-oops".

2005-09-09[PATCH] console: Fix buffer copy on vc resizeAntonino A. Daplas
On a vc resize, the contents of the old screen buffer are transferred to the new screenbuffer. If the new screenbuffer is smaller than the old one, only the contents from the bottom are copied to new. If the contents of the old buffer are located at the top, then the contents will not be copied to the new buffer resulting in a blank screen. This bug will happen only if the vc in question is not in the foreground. Doing an fbset -a or con2fbmap will trigger this bug. To fix this problem, base the start of the copy from the location of the current cursor. If the cursor is near the top of the buffer, copy the contents at the top, and if the cursor is near the bottom of the buffer, then copy the contents at the bottom. In the unlikely case where the new row size is greater than 2x smaller than the old one, and the cursor is in the middle, copy 1/2 screenful from the top and bottom of the cursor position.

2005-09-09[PATCH] files: break up files structDipankar Sarma
In order for the RCU to work, the file table array, sets and their sizes must be updated atomically. Instead of ensuring this through too many memory barriers, we put the arrays and their sizes in a separate structure. This patch takes the first step of putting the file table elements in a separate structure fdtable that is embedded withing files_struct. It also changes all the users to refer to the file table using files_fdtable() macro. Subsequent applciation of RCU becomes easier after this.
