  [PATCH] OnStream tape driver update
  
  - introduces FW-30 support (IEEE1394 version of OnStream drive).
  - allocates right amount of memory for AUX buffer, which fixes old Buslogic bug.
  - fixes bug that files shorter than one 32K frame don't get written.
  - supports a proc file for each drive (/proc/scsi/osst/osstX) which provides
    ADRversion_major.minor linux_media_version first_data_ppos eod_frame_ppos filemrk_cnt
  - Fix a memory alloc/free mismatch that could have made your kernel unstable after rmmod osst.
  - Fix a number of tape (re)positioning bugs around filemarks that affected Amanda, Arkeia and Storix
    backup software.
  - Rationalize module parameters.
  - Fix time-out skipping to EOD
  - Write FM+EOD+Header-update when file write terminated by ioctl
  - Follow standard Unix behavior for read at EOD (return zero bytes read twice then error)
  - Implement SETBLK ioctl (allowed before first write only)

  [PATCH] Fix tmpfs dcache oops
  
  Stupid free mail program appears to have converted
  my message into a octet stream, this should work
  even if it is kind of strange. Travel without a good
  connection is painful, Hopefully this is readable.
  
  Ok, here is a backport of the patch that went into 2.6.0
  to fix the problem where the tmpfs/shmfs dcache could be
  oopsed by any user doing a dirseek to offset 2.
  This occurs because the when the seek is at the cursor
  and then the cursor is deleted, the list_add_tail
  tries to attach to the end of the list and gets the
  old pointers (poisoned on 2.6) from the list_del.
  This fix just deletes the cursor before going over the
  list since it can not be a member of the list and should
  not be counted, delete it before counting over the list.

  [PATCH] Ulrich Drepper: fix 'noexec' behaviour
  
  Hi Marcelo.
  
  
  This patch submitted by Ullrich Drepper to 2.6 last week fixes the
  behaviour of 'noexec' mounted partitions. Up until now it was possible to
  circumvent the 'noexec' flag and run binaries off a 'noexec' partition by
  using ld-linux.so.2 or any other executable loader. This patch allows to
  properly honour the 'noexec' behaviour.
  
  Please review and apply.
  
  
  Regards,

  [PATCH] extended stats correction: Field rd_ios can be negative
  
  According to the docs in 2.6/Documentation/iostats.txt
  
  Field  9 -- # of I/Os currently in progress
      The only field that should go to zero. Incremented as requests are
      given to appropriate request_queue_t and decremented as they finish.
  
  The rest of the fields are counters, and even though they're defined as
  unsigned int, having the value go to -2 instead of 4294967293 (because of
  the lockless stats gathering) sounds like a better call to me.
  
  Here's an incremental patch on top of the previous one:
  
  Is ricklind@us.ibm.com the 2.4 diskstats maintainer as well as 2.6?

  [BRIDGE]: Fix loopback over bridge port.
  
  When sending a broadcast from a Linux bridge over a bridge port,
  net/ipv4/ip_output.c::ip_dev_loopback_xmit() will send the packet back
  to the bridge port. Currently, the bridge code will intercept this
  loopback packet and try to bridge it. This is not right, the loopback
  packet doesn't even have an Ethernet header. This loopback packet is
  intended for the bridge port and should not be stolen by the bridge code.
  The patch below fixes this by adding a check in __handle_bridge().

  [PATCH] change two annoying messages from fb drivers (clgenfb and hgafb)
  
  Two framebuffer drivers (clgenfb.c and hgafb.c), however, use KERN_ERR
  to say that their particular card has *not* been found which is very
  annoying.
  
  Especially the clgenfb.c driver simply says on bootup:
   Couldn't find PCI device
  which can really confuse newbie users.
  
  The appended patch replaces two KERN_ERR with KERN_INFO and additionally
  makes the clgen.c message more descriptive.
  
  Please apply, thanks!

  [PATCH] i2c cleanup: Remove old compatibility code
  
  This patch drops almost all compatibility stuff that was leftover from
  times of kernel 2.2. A few extra includes may have survived, we will
  take care of them later.
  
  Most of the work was done by Kysti Mlkki. Original comment follows:
  ***
  Remove code for KERNEL_VERSION tests.
  ***
  
  Note that this patch was voluntarily generated using diff -U1, because
  it contains only removals, so much context isn't required. Doing so
  makes this patch apply successfully even if you don't apply the patch #1
  of this second wave first.

  [PATCH] i2c cleanup: Fix dependancies between the various SCx200 drivers
  
  This patch doesn't really focus on the i2c subsystem, but one part of it
  belongs to this subsystem. It fixes the dependancies between the various
  SCx200 drivers, which happen to be incorrect at the time being. This is
  a modified version of a patch I had previously submitted on the LKML,
  but wasn't quite correct.
  
  The patch also fixes Configure.help a bit for these drivers.
  
  I've sent a similar (but smaller) patch to Greg KH for Linux 2.6, which
  also has a few incorrectnesses in SCx200 driver dependancies.

  [PATCH] Generic HDLC cleanup
  
  Hi,
  The attached patch cleans up generic HDLC.
  
  This brings the code to a state mostly consistent with 2.6 (except for
  non-trivial things such as experimental DCD handling):
  - many private Frame-Relay definitions are moved from hdlc.h to hdlc_fr.c.
  - CONFIG_HDLC_DEBUG_* are removed. They were devel-only things and users
    tried to make (wrong) use of them. Now they can be #(un)defined in
    the .c files in the extremely unlikely case someone needs that.
  - unneeded #include <linux/config.h> lines are removed.
  - N2 and C101 drivers are available only when CONFIG_ISA is set and
    Farsync driver is available when CONFIG_PCI is set.
  - many whitespace and other trivial cleanups etc.
  - an always-false check is removed from hdlc_fr.c.
  
  No special magic here.

  [PATCH] cciss update part 3: enable prefetch on i386
  
  Marcelo,
  Prefetch has undergone extensive testing internally. Other groups are
  continuing to test it, also. All controllers on the street now have
  prefetch enabled. When version 1.92 of the controller f/w is released
  prefetch will be disabled by default. This patch re-enables it on x86 only
  because of a _big_ performance hit in RAID1 operations.
  This is on my list for 2.6. Since it has now been released I will begin
  submitting updates after Christmas. (My list for 2.6 is extensive.)
  Also, please include this version of the patch rather than my first
  submission. I moved a variable inside the ifdef to clean up warnings on
  non-x86 platforms.
  
  Thanks,
  mikem

  The '<' test is just to make sure a request of 2*bsize at block_nr
  will still fit within the size of the device, so a <= is appropriate.

  [PATCH] cciss update part 2
  
  Some older cciss controllers may take a long time to become ready after
  hot replacing the controller. This patch addresses that problem by adding
  a check of the scratchpad register. This patch is intended to supplement
  the monitor thread when cciss is used in an md environment. In the event
  of a controller failure the failed board can now be more reliably
  replaced. This is patch #2 of 2.
  Please consider this patch for inclusion in the 2.4.24 kernel.

  This modifies the spinlock code so that if we are trying to acquire

  [PATCH] 2.4 IA64 DRM interface changes
  
  This patch adds a "dev" parameter to drm_ioremap(), drm_ioremap_nocache(),
  and drm_ioremapfree().  This change is already in 2.5, and is required to
  support DRM on ia64.
  
  The problem on ia64 is that CPU addresses don't get remapped by the
  GART, so we have to fiddle with the kernel page tables, and the
  ioremap interfaces need the dev pointer to do that.
  
  This part is strictly interface changes; the actual use of the new
  parameter is messier code that I'll send separately.  The changes
  below should be straightforward enough to be fairly non-controversial.

  [PATCH] duplicate PID fix
  
  Hello Marcelo,
  
  This fix was sent to lkml in April, and was merged to -ac tree,
  but is not merged in the main tree yet.
  Please consider taking this in.
  
  Without this, duplicate pids can be allocated, which will make
  one of them unkillable (signals are deliverd to only one of them),
  and this can be exploitable (I don't know for sure, but maybe,
  like brk() ;)
  
  This situation happens only when all pid space is full.
  Usually, users cannot fork processes more than 32768 (PID_MAX),
  but default user limit of max processes can be more
  than PID_MAX on large memory machines such as 64bit
  platforms (although it's adjustable by threads-max sysctl).
  
  This patch modifies common code and affects all architectures,
  but modifies code only executed when no pid is available,
  so it doesn't hurt any normal path anyway.
  
  (BTW, once I sent this patch to Rusty's Trivial patch monkey,
  but his reply was non-trivial, and he also said this is
  scary ;)
  
  The details are described below:
  
  In get_pid(), an available pid is searched through all task_structs
  even when there is no available pid.  If a new pid is not available,
  the kernel exits the loop with static variable 'next_safe' untouched,
  which usually is no problem.
  
  
  	spin_lock(&lastpid_lock);
  	beginpid = last_pid;
  	if((++last_pid) & 0xffff8000) {
  		last_pid = 300;		/* Skip daemons etc. */
  		goto inside;
  	}
  	if(last_pid >= next_safe) {
  inside:
  		next_safe = PID_MAX;
  		read_lock(&tasklist_lock);
  repeat:
  	for_each_task(p) {
  		if(p->pid == last_pid	||
  		   p->pgrp == last_pid	||
  		   p->tgid == last_pid	||
  		   p->session == last_pid) {			<= (A)
  			if(++last_pid >= next_safe) {		<= (B)
  				if(last_pid & 0xffff8000)
  					last_pid = 300;
  				next_safe = PID_MAX;
  			}
  			if(unlikely(last_pid == beginpid))	<= (C)
  				goto nomorepids;
  			goto repeat;
  		}
  		if(p->pid > last_pid && next_safe > p->pid)
  			next_safe = p->pid;
  		if(p->pgrp > last_pid && next_safe > p->pgrp)
  			next_safe = p->pgrp;
  		if(p->tgid > last_pid && next_safe > p->tgid)
  			next_safe = p->tgid;
  		if(p->session > last_pid && next_safe > p->session)
  			next_safe = p->session;
  	}
  
  
  In a rare case, both (B) and (C) can be true and then, next_safe
  will remain PID_MAX (32768).  If that happens, following get_pid() will
  always succeed until last_pid reaches 32768 and there may be many
  duplicate pids.
  
  For example, this happens when
  
   * PID space are full (300-32767 are all occupied)
   * the last pid allocated is 10000
   * task list chain is like:
     ...(pids < 9999), 9999, ...(pids 300~9998, 10001~32767)... , 10000
  
  The loop starts searching an available pid with beginpid=10000 and
  last_pid=10001.  last_pid is incremented until it gets PID_MAX
  and then wraps around to 300, then is incremented again.
  
  At the point that p->pid=9999 is found in tasklist (condition (A)),
  
    last_pid = 9999
    next_safe <= 9998
  
  therefore condition (B) is true, and then
  
    last_pid = 10000
    next_safe = PID_MAX
  
  and then, condition (C) is also true, and exits the loop.
  
  To protect this case is simple; when the condition (C) is true,
  set next_safe to 0 or any safe value to guarantee that a free pid
  will be searched through next time.
  
  Thanks,

  Backport of 2.5 fix: Don't throw out the current stack segment in
  make_slbe.  Since the entry is still in the ERAT, and the ERAT
  entry might be expired at any time, we might hit an SLB fault at
  critical sections where we can't handle it.
  One subtle difference between 2.4 and 2.5 in this aspect: We still need
  to do the slbie in 2.4, since this code might be running on the interrupt
  stack and we might cast out the kernel stack segment.  Without the
  slbie the kernel stack segment might still be in the ERAT and we'd be back
  at the same problem.

  	Hi Marcelo,

  capacity. A quick check lead to to oversized kernel log, and to the
  following changeset :
  
  http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.4/cset@1.1136.23.2?nav=index.html|ChangeSet@-12w
  
  	Patch to fix this problem is attached below, I've just
  backported the proper fixes from 2.5.X into 2.4.X.
  	Probably this person did too much Python, but in C you need
  braces around multiple statements part of the same branch, so the
  second printf was always executed even when logging was disabled. I
  also don't understand why this person didn't decided to backport the
  2.5.X fix.
  	I'm also bit surprised that this kind of patch went into the
  kernel behind my back, because I though that freeze meant not
  accepting untested patch from random hacker.
  
  	Have fun...

  [PATCH] USB: MCT-U232 Patch for cts
  
  Brief Patch Description:
  
  Fix a problem in the 'mct_u232' driver whereby output data gets held up in the
  USB/RS-232 adapter for RS-232 devices which don't assert the 'CTS' signal.
  
  Background:
  
  The Belkin F5U109 is a 9-pin USB/RS-232 adapter that is supported by the
  existing 'mct_u232' kernel module. Recently, I've been testing it under the
  2.4.22 (Slackware 9.1) kernel and the 2.6.0-test9 kernel.
  
  I've connected a Garmin 'GPS35 TracPak' GPS receiver (RS-232 interface) and an
  ordinary RS-232 external modem to my PC's USB port via the Belkin F5U109
  adapter.
  
  Problem:
  
  Although _reads_ from either of the RS-232 devices mentioned above work fine
  via the Belkin adapter, _writes_ to the GPS receiver are not being seen by
  the GPS. Writes to the modem, however, work perfectly.
  
  Aside: The 'Linux USB Users' archives show that at least one other person
  (circa May 2002) had the exact same problem I'm having, but it sounds like no
  solution was ever determined because the person in question just bought a
  different USB/RS-232 adapter.
  
  Investigation:
  
  Using the 'seyon' terminal emulator in Linux and a crude hardware RS-232
  "breakout box" that I hacked together, I've determined that the problem is
  related to the RTS/CTS RS-232 hardware handshaking.
  
  After further investigation, I've concluded that RS-232 devices which do not
  assert the 'Clear To Send' ('CTS') signal prevent the Belkin F5U109 adapter
  from transmitting data to the RS-232 device when the current (version 1.1)
  'mct_u232' module is used. The data gets "queued up" (up to a point -- 16
  bytes, I think) in the adapter but never transmitted.
  
  Since this GPS receiver works perfectly (reads and writes) when connected to a
  PC running W98se using the same Belkin adapter and the Belkin-supplied
  Windows driver, the Linux driver became suspect.
  
  After some testing with SniffUSB, I found that the Windows driver sends a
  couple of unique undocumented USB 'device requests' that the Linux driver
  does not. As it turns out, the second of those 2 requests is critical in
  making the adapter transmit data to a device which doesn't assert 'CTS'.
  
  For completeness, the Windows driver in use was determined from the 'Device
  Manager', 'Driver File Details' page:
  
   U2SPORT.VXD
   Provider: Magic Control Technology
   File version: 1.21P.0104 for Win98/Me
  
  Solution:
  
  My patch adds the 2 missing USB 'device request' commands right after a
  baud-change command. This mimics the operation of the W98 driver.
  
  Unfortunately, after much testing, I found no other operation (besides a
  baud-change request) under Windows that triggers either of these 2 'device
  request' commands. This makes it impossible to fully document the behavior of
  these requests, but I've made entries for them alongside the others in the
  'mct_u232.h' file.
  
  Purely for clarity, the patch also modifies various comments in 'mct_u232.h',
  mostly to reflect proper sizes of the various 'USB Device Request' fields per
  the USB 1.1 specification.
  
  The patch also updates the version number of the driver, corrects a minor
  typographical error, and documents a difference in the length of the data in
  a 'baud rate change' command for certain adapters which use a coded baud-rate
  rather than the conventional RS-232 baud rate divisor.

  OK, either way is good. However, I don't understand why it
  didn't apply for you. I tried this way and that, it all matches.
  The patch you posted applies cleanly, too. Hmmm.... I think the
  attached should be perfect. I do not much like the syntax of

  [ACPI] Update Linux to ACPICA 20031203 (Bob Moore)
  
  Changed the initialization of Operation Regions during subsystem init to
  perform two entire walks of the ACPI namespace; The first to initialize
  the regions themselves, the second to execute the _REG methods.  This
  fixed some interdependencies across _REG methods found on some machines.
  
  Fixed a problem where a Store(Local0, Local1) could simply update the
  object reference count, and not create a new copy of the object if the
  Local1 is uninitialized.
  
  Implemented support for the _SST reserved method during sleep
  transitions.
  
  Implemented support to clear the SLP_TYP and SLP_EN bits when waking up,
  this is apparently required by some machines.
  
  When sleeping, clear the wake status only if SleepState is not S5.
  
  Fixed a problem in AcpiRsExtendedIrqResource() where an incorrect
  pointer arithmetic advanced a string pointer too far.
  
  Fixed a problem in AcpiTbGetTablePtr() where a garbage pointer could be
  returned if the requested table has not been loaded.
  
  Within the support for IRQ resources, restructured the handling of the
  active and edge/level bits.
  
  Fixed a few problems in AcpiPsxExecute() where memory could be leaked
  under certain error conditions.
  
  Improved error messages for the cases where the ACPI mode could not be
  entered.

  [ACPI] update Linux to ACPICA 20031029 (Bob Moore)
  
  Fixed a problem where a level-triggered GPE with an associated _Lxx
  control method was incorrectly cleared twice.
  
  Fixed a problem with the Field support code where an access can occur
  beyond the end-of-region if the field is non-aligned but extends to the
  very end of the parent region (resulted in an AE_AML_REGION_LIMIT
  exception.)
  
  Fixed a problem with ACPI Fixed Events where an RT Clock handler would
  not get invoked on an RTC event.  The RTC event bitmasks for the PM1
  registers were not being initialized properly.
  
  Implemented support for executing _STA and _INI methods for Processor
  objects.  Although this is currently not part of the ACPI specification,
  there is existing ASL code that depends on the init-time execution of
  these methods.
  
  Implemented and deployed a GetDescriptorName function to decode the
  various types of internal descriptors.  Guards against null descriptors
  during debug output also.
  
  Implemented and deployed a GetNodeName function to extract the
  4-character namespace node name.  This function simplifies the debug and
  error output, as well as guarding against null pointers during output.
  
  Implemented and deployed the ACPI_FORMAT_UINT64 helper macro to simplify
  the debug and error output of 64-bit integers.  This macro replaces the
  HIDWORD and LODWORD macros for dumping these integers.
  
  Updated the implementation of the Stall() operator to only call
  AcpiOsStall(), and also return an error if the operand is larger than
  255.  This preserves the required behavior of not relinquishing the
  processor, as would happen if AcpiOsSleep() was called for "long
  stalls".
  
  Constructs of the form "Store(LocalX,LocalX)" where LocalX is not
  initialized are now treated as NOOPs.
  
  Cleaned up a handful of warnings during 64-bit generation.
  
  Fixed a reported error where and incorrect GPE number was passed to the
  GPE dispatch handler.  This value is only used for error output,
  however.  Used this opportunity to clean up and streamline the GPE
  dispatch code.

  [PATCH] USB storage: add unusual storage device entry for Minolta DiMAGE
  
  Yes, it seems to work OK on the 7i with this updated patch.  I don't
  have a 7 or 7Hi to try, but everything on the web seems to say the USB
  firmware works the same way.

  [PATCH] USB storage: patch for Kyocera S5 camera
  
  I've seen some entries in 2.4.22 and 2.6.0 unusual_devs.h
  for Kyocera Finecam S3 et S4 cameras and I own a Finecam S5
  that does not work out of the box either
  (here is the beast : http://www.yashica.com/digital/finecams5/finecams5.html)
  
  so I found the unusual_devs.h entry and submitted it some month
  ago at http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=1626
  for the 2.4 kernels
  
  I thought It would be nice to have the whole Finecam family
  in Unusual_devs.h for 2.6.0
  
  The patch for the 2.6.0-test9 is attached with this mail
  
  It differs from the entry I submitted at www.qbik.ch
  as I used the new SC/PR_DEVICE flags and got rid of the
  IGNORE_SER flag from 2.4
  
  Do you want a patch for 2.4 too ? If so, I should test my
  old 2.4 entry with the lastest 2.4 Kernels, coz on a daily
  basis I use a 2.4.20, which is rather old. Moreover, I could
  used the SC/PR_DEVICE flags too for 2.4.22 (keeping the IGNORE_SER flag
  though)
  
  
  By the way, several entries with the running patch :

  Yes. You have two inodes placed in the same buffer.
  
  Process 1 modifies inode 1 and calls fsync on it. fsync initiates write of
  the block. ll_rw_block returns, write is in progress.
  
  Process 2 modifies inode 2 and calls fsync on it. Filesystem calls
  ll_rw_block write on the same buffer. ll_rw_block immediatelly returns,
  because it sees there is already IO on the buffer (there used to be
  something like if (buffer_locked(bh)) return;). Process 2 waits on buffer.
  
  The write finished. Both processes are waken up. Both processes return out
  of fsync function. Process 2 returns from fsync while it did not write its
  inode modification to disk --- it waited on process 1's write.

  out_of_memory()'s operational variables are not locked, and can be
  reset by multiple cpus simultaneously, causing false OOM kills.
  
  This patch adds an oom_lock to out_of_memory() to protect its operational
  variables.

  CONFIG_X86_TSC be the devil. Personally, I'd much prefer dropping the
  compile time option and using dynamic detection. Something like (not
  recently tested and i believe against 2.5.something, but you get the
  idea):

  Something like this might do the trick. NR_CPUS is already checked

  [PATCH] fix reboot/no_idt bug
  
  When compiling 2.4.23 with gcc-3.3.2, gcc generates the
  following warning for arch/i386/kernel/process.c:
  
  process.c: In function `machine_restart':
  process.c:427: warning: use of memory input without lvalue in asm operand 0 is deprecated
  
  The warning identifies a real bug. no_idt is passed to
  lidt with an "m" constraint, which requires an l-value.
  Since no_idt is faked as an array, gcc creates an anonymous
  variable pointing to no_idt and passes that to lidt(*),
  so at runtime lidt sees the wrong address. Not good.
  (The bug, while real, is unlikely to trigger since it
  sits in an infrequently used path in the reboot code.)
  
  The fix is to make no_idt a struct (and thus an l-lvalue)
  like the other gdt/idt descriptors.
  
  This patch is a backport of the fix Linus made for the
  same bug in 2.6.0-test4.
  
  [Andi: x86-64 appears to have the same bug]
  
  (*) Verified by inspection of the assembly code.

  [PATCH] Make readahead last page of file
  
  hi marcelo-
  
  i posted this a while back on fsdevel for comments, but never heard
  anything.  i'd like this patch to be included in 2.4.24, as it improves
  NFS client read performance by a significant margin, and doesn't appear to
  have any negative impact (see fsdevel archives for benchmarks).  this is
  against 2.4.23.
  
  generic_file_readahead never reads the last page of a file.  this means
  the last page is always read synchronously by do_generic_file_read.
  normally this is not an issue, as most local disk reads are fast.
  however, this means that the NFS client is never given the opportunity to
  coalesce the last page of a file, which must be read in a separate
  synchronous read operation.
  
  this is especially honerous if the network round trip time is long, and/or
  the workload consists of reading many uncached small files.
  
  i also explored changing the way that generic_file_readahead computes the
  index of the last page of the file.  the fix below appears to be the best
  solution.

  [PATCH] Make root a special case for per-user process limits.
  
  This is needed because when a setuid-root program calls
  setuid(0) to become really-root, p->user becomes root_user,
  but ->rlim stays as the original user's limit, and now
  the process cannot fork - becuase root has more processes than
  the original user had.
  
  The real problem is that NPROC is not really a per-process limit,
  but its a per-user limit, and including it with the rlim structure
  was not a good idea :-(
  
  This fix is already in 2.6

  ip_conntrack_amanda:
  - udp checksum checked even if not set
  - memory not validated to be inside packet at all or validated like
    this: if (*data and data < data_limit)
  - would create expectation with port 0 which makes nat-helper throw away
    packet (which makes exploiting the race-condition trivial even on UP)
  - expectation had no mask.src.* set so connections were accepted from
    anywhere
  - helper_unregister called after failed helper_register
  
  ip_nat_amanda:
  - drops packet if amanda_data_fixup fails without clearing the offset
    field in the expectation which is used as a flag to indicate that the
    current packet needs mangling. Problem arises from the fact that the
    conntrack helper creates multiple expectations at once and even if it
    clears the offset field for the current expectation the following
    expectations will not have it cleared and will mangle the next packet
    they see.
  - same unregister after failed register problem
