[XFS] Add versioning to the on disk inode which we increment on each
flush call. This is used during recovery to avoid replaying an
older copy of the inode from the log. We can do this without
versioning the filesystem as the pad space we borrowed was
always zero and will be ignored by old kernels.

lossy since we now depend on it. Add a sync_fs callout which waits
for flush to be done.

[PATCH] Consolidate dot-stripping code
From Ren <l.s.r@web.de>
there are several places inside fs/vfat/namei.c where the length of a
struct qstr without any trailing dots is calculated. The patch below
adds a function vfat_striptail_len() which does that and makes use of it.
[PATCH] I2C: fixed a little memory leak in i2c-ali15x3.c
there is a little memory leak in i2c-ali15x3.c .
You can reproduce the BUG as follows:
In a PC with no such device unloading i2c-ali15x3 cause an oops in release_region.
I've fixed by moving release_region() from i2c_ali15x3_exit() to ali15x3_remove().

[PATCH] janitor: convert to pci_name()
[ GregKH has already done this is USB and PCI core. ]
From: "Warren A. Layton" <zeevon@debian.org>
Based on a request from Matthew Wilcox, convert instances of
pci_dev->slot_name to use pci_name() instead:
"In order to support PCI Domains, we have to stop using slot_name.
It's related to driver model transition too since pci_dev->slot_name
was redundant with pci_dev->dev.bus_id. So I introduced the inline
function pci_name(). Now there's about 300-400 places in the tree
that're using slot_name which need to be converted to use pci_name().
once that's done, we can remove the slot_name pointer in pci_dev and
save a (void *) per pci_dev."

[PATCH] Fix old quota format locking
This fixes a bug in locking (we take one lock twice) for old quota

[PATCH] cpu_idle() startup race fix
Diagnosis from Christian Vogel <vogel@skunk.physik.uni-erlangen.de>
cpu_idle() tests pm_idle() just once then falls into the
while (!need_resched())
idle();
loop.
Problem is, that loop never terminates (need_resched() always returns false
on preemptive kernels).
The other problem is that ACPI updates pm_idle _after_ cpu_idle() has taken a
local copy. So we always call default_idle(), even when pm_idle is pointing
at a new idle handler.
So fix it to pick up changed values of pm_idle() each time around the inner
loop.

[PATCH] binfmt_script argv[0] fix
From: Arun Sharma <arun.sharma@intel.com>
A script such as
#!/bin/foo.bar
...
where /bin/foo.bar is handled by binfmt_misc, is not handled correctly i.e.
the interpreter of foo.bar doesn't receive the correct arguments.
The binfmt_misc handler requires that bprm->filename is appropriately
filled so that the argv[1] could be correctly passed to the interpreter.
However, binfmt_script, as it exists today doesn't populate bprm->filename
correctly.
Another motivation for this patch is the output of ps. Emulators which use
binfmt_misc may want to keep the output of ps consistent with native
execution. This requires preserving bprm->filename. The attached patch
guarantees this even if we have to go through several binfmt handlers
(think of finite loops involving binfmt_script and binfmt_misc).

journal_unmap_buffer() has unexpectedly donated this buffer to the committing

doesn't happen in 2.4 because both paths are under lock_journal().
Simply remove the assertion: the commit code will uncheckpoint the buffer and
then recheckpoint it if needed.
