[PATCH] cciss: fix unlikely startup problem
Patch from Stephen Cameron <steve.cameron@hp.com>
* Make cciss driver wait longer for board to enter simple mode to
handle an unlikely corner case. (Hot replace of failed 144GB
drive in RAID 5 set at just the wrong time prior to driver loading
can make the board take a longer than usual time to go into "simple
mode". Without the patch, the driver gives up too early, and consequently
doesn't work. (A reboot will generally "fix" it.) This patch avoids
the problem.
* Fix a couple ioctls to return EAGAIN instead of inappropriate EFAULT.

[PATCH] ext2: clear ext3 htree flag on directories
Forward port of a change which Ted made to 2.4's ext2.
HTREE backwards compatibility patch.
"I thought (and assumed) this patch had been applied to both the ext2 and
ext3 filesystems in the 2.4 kernel. It turns out it had only made it into
the ext3 filesystem code. This means that if an HTREE-enabled filesystem is
mounted using ext2, it will corrupt the filesystem as far as e2fsck and an
ext3 htree-enabled kernel is concerned. (The corruption won't cause any
data loss, but it will cause e2fsck and an ext3-htree kernel to omit a lot
of warning messages.)"

[PATCH] loop: Fix OOM and oops
The loop driver takes a copy of the data which it is writing. When this
happens on the try_to_free_pages() path, loop can easily consume ALL memory
and bio_copy() will fail to allocate a page.
Loop forgets to check the bio_copy() return value and oopses.
Fix this by dropping PF_MEMALLOC and throttling to the block writeout speed.
The patch exports blk_congestion_wait() to modules for this. This is a
needed export: several filesystems have a "try to allocate and yield if it
failed" loop and blk_congestion_wait() is a more appropriate way of
implementing the sleep in this situation.

[PATCH] Fix USB address setting
You wouldn't expect that an innocent two-line patch would practically
destroy the entire functionality of the USB subsystem. But that's what my
last patch did. I didn't realize until I saw it in Greg's list of patches
forwarded to Linus; that patch includes a mistakenly unreverted prior
change. This explains the problems I was having yesterday, and probably
also the problems a great many people are having today.
Anyway, here's the correction -- it puts things back to what they should
have been in the first place. Greg, please apply this and send it to
Linus for his tree as soon as reasonably possible.

[PATCH] via-rhine: 1.17 release
Alas no rave reviews on lkml, but the private feedback I have received so
far on the recent changes has been excellent. The Rhine-II is now finally
usable with via-rhine. Time to call it 1.17.
The old /proc/sys/cpu/ - based interface is nothing else than a
cpufreq governor which decides what frequency to use within a policy
based on userspace input. So, convert this interface (and add a
corresponding sysfs file, /sys/devices/sys/cpu0/scaling_setspeed) to
become a cpufreq governor, and move it out to an extra module (which
partly explains the size of this patch).

- update the VIA Longhaul driver to use frequency table helpers and
the advanced cpufreq driver registration interface.
- cleanup of the ACPI P-States cpufreq driver
- very small update of the core -- set 24API values ahead of the setpolicy
call.

[PATCH] Fix kirq_balance up so I can disable it.
At the moment, there are two different switches used, irqbalance_disabled
and no_balance_irq ... each of which switches half the code off. This
patch harmonises them into one (irqbalance_disable), and uses the old
subarch stuff as a default value so that this is auto-disabled on boxes
like NUMA-Q that can't cope with it.
Also renamed no_balance_irq to NO_BALANCE_IRQ as it's really a static
defined number now, not pretending to be a switch variable any more.
Now off by default for NUMA-Q, on by default for others, but can be
disabled with the boot time flag if people desire.

[PATCH] via-rhine: fix races
This patch addresses two distinct races:
- Until now, the driver started the chip for Tx regardless of errors
pending in the status register. Not good if an error occured while
we were queueing packets -- the chip counter had not been reset,
so Tx died. (We can't reliably get an interrupt for every error
condition)
- The Rhine-II (when under load) frequently produces a Tx descriptor
write-back race error. Failing to handle this means waiting for the
netdev watchdog. Fixed.
In addition, we must wait for the Tx engine to turn off on error
conditions before we scavenge the descriptor entries. Failing to do
so will typically lead to performance going down to about 10%: Burst,
timeout, burst, timeout.. (again, with a Rhine-II under load).

reset to finish.
