2006-03-23[PATCH] kill cdrom ->dev_ioctl methodChristoph Hellwig

From: Ursula Braun <braunu@de.ibm.com> when setting route6 attribute back to no_router qeth does not issue an IP ASSIST command to reset router value to no_router. Once primary_router is set device stays in this mode. Issue an IP ASSIST command when no_router is set in route6. Device will be reset and thus will not longer run as a primary router.

set_page_count usage outside mm/ is limited to setting the refcount to 1. Remove set_page_count from outside mm/, and replace those users with init_page_count() and set_page_refcounted().

2006-03-22[PATCH] sg: use compound pagesNick Piggin
sg increments the refcount of constituent pages in its higher order memory allocations when they are about to be mapped by userspace. This is done so the subsequent get_page/put_page when doing the mapping and unmapping does not free the page. Move over to the preferred way, that is, using compound pages instead. This fixes a whole class of possible obscure bugs where a get_user_pages on a constituent page may outlast the user mappings or even the driver.

2006-03-22[PATCH] slab: Remove SLAB_NO_REAP optionChristoph Lameter
SLAB_NO_REAP is documented as an option that will cause this slab not to be reaped under memory pressure. However, that is not what happens. The only thing that SLAB_NO_REAP controls at the moment is the reclaim of the unused slab elements that were allocated in batch in cache_reap(). Cache_reap() is run every few seconds independently of memory pressure. Could we remove the whole thing? Its only used by three slabs anyways and I cannot find a reason for having this option. There is an additional problem with SLAB_NO_REAP. If set then the recovery of objects from alien caches is switched off. Objects not freed on the same node where they were initially allocated will only be reused if a certain amount of objects accumulates from one alien node (not very likely) or if the cache is explicitly shrunk. (Strangely __cache_shrink does not check for SLAB_NO_REAP) Getting rid of SLAB_NO_REAP fixes the problems with alien cache freeing.

2006-03-22[PATCH] dcdbas: convert to the new platform device interfaceDmitry Torokhov
Do not use platform_device_register_simple() as it is going away, define dcdbas_driver and implement ->probe() and ->remove() functions so manual binding and unbinding will work with this driver. Also switch to using attribute_group when creating sysfs attributes and make sure to check and handle errors; explicitely remove attributes when detaching driver.

2006-03-22[PATCH] vr41xx: convert to the new platform device interfaceDmitry Torokhov
The patch does the following for v441xx seris drivers: - stop using platform_device_register_simple() as it is going away - mark ->probe() and ->remove() methods as __devinit and __devexit respectively - initialize "owner" field in driver structure so there is a link from /sys/modules to the driver - mark *_init() and *_exit() functions as __init and __exit Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-03-22[PATCH] serial: serial_txx9 driver updateAtsushi Nemoto
Update the serial_txx9 driver. * More strict check in verify_port. Cleanup. * Do not insert a char caused previous overrun. * Fix some spin_locks. * Do not call uart_add_one_port for absent ports. Also, this patch removes a BROKEN tag from Kconfig. This driver has been marked as BROKEN by removal of uart_register_port, but it has been solved already on Sep 2005.

2006-03-22[PATCH] dm: bio split bvec fixAlasdair G Kergon
The code that handles bios that span table target boundaries by breaking them up into smaller bios will not split an individual struct bio_vec into more than two pieces. Sometimes more than that are required. This patch adds a loop to break the second piece up into as many pieces as are necessary.
