* Alternative fix for MMC oops on unmount after removalLinus Torvalds2006-05-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make sure to clear the driverfs_dev pointer when we do del_gendisk() (on disk removal), so that other users that may still have a ref to the disk won't try to use the stale pointer. Also move the KOBJ_REMOVE uevent handler up, so that the uevent still has access to the driverfs_dev data. This all should hopefully fix the problems with MMC umounts after device removals that caused commit 56cf6504fc1c0c221b82cebc16a444b684140fb7 and its reversal (1a2acc9e9214699a99389e323e6686e9e0e2ca67). Original problem reported by Todd Blumer and others.

* [PATCH] BLOCK: delay all uevents until partition table is scannedKay Sievers2006-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [BLOCK] delay all uevents until partition table is scanned Here we delay the annoucement of all block device events until the disk's partition table is scanned and all partition devices are already created and sysfs is populated. We have a bunch of old bugs for removable storage handling where we probe successfully for a filesystem on the raw disk, but at the same time the kernel recognizes a partition table and creates partition devices. Currently there is no sane way to tell if partitions will show up or not at the time the disk device is announced to userspace. With the delayed events we can simply skip any probe for a filesystem on the raw disk when we find already present partitions.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove all the CONFIG_SYSFS stuff. That's supposed to all be implemented up in header files. Yes, the CONFIG_SYSFS=n data structures will be a little larger than necessary, but that's a tradeoff we can decide to make.

* | [PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbersBenjamin Herrenschmidt2006-03-28
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this, board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine. We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of _machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants. This commit also changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at _machine.

* [PATCH] s390: dasd partition detectionHorst Hummel2006-03-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DASD allows to open a device as soon as gendisk is registered, which means the device is a fake device (capacity=0) and we do know nothing about blocksize and partitions at that point of time. In case the device is opened by someone, the bdev and inode creation is done with the fake device info and the following partition detection code is just using the wrong data. To avoid this modify the DASD state machine to make sure that the open is rejected until the device analysis is either finished or an unformatted device was detected.

* [ARM] Make Acorn partition types depend on ACORN_PARTITIONRussell King2006-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | balamurugan reported a problem where it was possible to have the various Acorn partition types selected in the configuration, but ACORN_PARTITION disabled. Since ACORN_PARTITION controls whether we build fs/partitions/acorn.c, this lead to undefined references to the adfspart_check_TYPE symbols. Fix this by making the Acorn partition type symbols depend on ACORN_PARTITION. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

| * [patch] remove gendisk->stamp_idle fieldChen, Kenneth W2005-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | struct gendisk has these two fields: stamp, stamp_idle. Update to stamp_idle is always in sync with stamp and they are always the same. Therefore, it does not add any value in having two fields tracking same timestamp. Suggest to remove it. Also, we should only update gendisk stats with non-zero value. Advantage is that we don't have to needlessly calculate memory address, and then add zero to the content. Signed-off-by: Ken Chen <kenneth.w.chen@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

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!
