* [PATCH] fbdev: Batch cmap changes at driver levelBenjamin Herrenschmidt2005-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds to the fbdev interface a set_cmap callback that allow the driver to "batch" palette changes. This is useful for drivers like radeonfb which might require lenghtly workarounds on palette accesses, thus allowing to factor out those workarounds efficiently.

* [PATCH] ext3: remove unnecessary race then retry in ext3_get_blockMingming Cao2005-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [PATCH] reiserfs endianness: sanitize reiserfs_key unionAl Viro2005-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

* [PATCH] reiserfs endianness: comp_short_keys() cleanupAl Viro2005-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

When the list is empty, the operation of adding to the list, then call to __aio_run_iocbs() is unnecessary because these operations are done in one atomic step. ctx->run_list always has only one element in this case.

* [PATCH] aio: remove superfluous kiocb member initializationKen Chen2005-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

* [PATCH] ipmi: enable interrupts on the BT driverCorey Minyard2005-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enable interrupts for a BT interface. There is a specific register that needs to be set up to enable interrupts that also must be modified to clear the irq. Also, don't reset the BMC on a BT interface. That's probably not a good idea as the BMC may be performing other important functions and a reset should only be a last resort.

* [PATCH] vgacon: set vc_hi_font_mask correctlyBill Nottingham2005-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
