	Marcelo, Linus
	
	  We've uncovered yet another kmap imbalance in the new RPC code. This
	looks like it might be the last one (my debugging printks have been
	unable to unearth any more). One line fix + 4 line comment
	appended. Please apply to both 2.4.20-rc1 and 2.5.45...
	
	Cheers,

<[e-mail]>
	[PATCH] : sock_writable not appropriate for TCP sockets
	
	hi marcelo-
	
	[ i sent this patch August 30 against 20-pre5, and it appears to have been
	dropped.  this is an important performance fix that should be included in
	2.4.20.  i apologize for not tracking this more closely. ]
	
	
	sock_writeable determines whether there is space in a socket's output
	buffer.  socket write_space callbacks use it to determine whether to wake
	up those that are waiting for more output buffer space.
	
	however, sock_writeable is not appropriate for TCP sockets.  because the
	RPC client's write_space callback uses it for TCP sockets, the RPC layer
	hammers on sock_sendmsg with dozens of write requests that are only a few
	hundred bytes long when it is trying to send a large write RPC request.
	this patch adds logic to the RPC layer's write_space callback that
	properly handles TCP sockets.
	
	patch reviewed by Trond, Alexey, and DaveM, and already accepted in 2.5.

	[PATCH] Fix ncpfs file creation issue
	
	This patch fixes longstanding bug in ncpfs: when 'executable' bit
	is set on file creation, it is translated wrong to the server.
	
		Because of this bug is there for years, if it is only problem
	with 2.4.20-rc1, just release 2.4.20, and put this into 2.4.21-pre1...

<[e-mail]>

<[e-mail]>
	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.)
	 

<[e-mail]>
	[PATCH] Enable the merged AMD pm driver
	

<[e-mail]>
	[PATCH] Add vt8235 support
	
	Hi!
	
	This patch adds support for the vt8235. Marcelo, please apply it to
	current 2.4.20 rc. It doesn't break anything, basically adds and entry
	to the table of supported devices. Thanks.

<[e-mail]>
	[PATCH] restore framebuffer console after suspend
	
	Marcelo,
	
	this patch fixes the case when a laptop was suspended and resumed while a
	framebuffer console was active, the console would not be redrawn.
	
	After a discussion with Benjamin Herrenschmidt, we both agree that this
	patch is the best solution. It is the same as my first patch with this
	subject, just resent because there was some confusion about which patch was
	best.
	
	Please apply for 2.4.20-rc2.
	
	Thanks
	Carl-Daniel

	[PATCH] Fix SX driver detection

<[e-mail]>
	[PATCH] fix file system corruption under load
	
	When QA testing XFS 1.2 we observed in-memory corruption under extreme
	load (fsx, usemem & bash-shared-mapping) when using block size < pagesizes.
	
	In addition to some bugs inside XFS Russell Cattelan found a problem in
	end_buffer_io_async.
	
	The problem is that end_buffer_io_async sets the page uptodate as soon
	as there are no more async or locked buffers, which is wrong if only
	parts of the page are submitted for I/O (i.e. writes not on the page
	boundary, etc..)

<[e-mail]>
	Reverse order of BK config checkout entries

<[e-mail]>
	Changed EXTRAVERSION to -rc2

<[e-mail]>
	Fix tg3 net driver to properly disable interrupts during some TX operations

<[e-mail]>
	[PATCH] Fix lcall DoS
	
	Hi,
	   your original code just behaved as my old code: run modprobe successfully,
	and then die. Problem is that copy of eflags on stack is totally unimportant
	to us: current value in eflags is what matters. So this is minimal
	patch which works here: NT, DF and TF are now cleared only for kernel,
	and when we return back from lcall, userspace has its old values.
	
	   Optimization left to readed is creating SAVE_ALL_NOCLD, and using this
	one in lcall7 and lcall27.
	
	   With patch below my machine survived test. Unfortunately I do not
	have patched kernel with linux-abi to test whether lcall7 still works
	correctly.

Summary of changes from v2.4.20-pre11 to v2.4.20-rc1
============================================

<[e-mail]>:
  o 3ware driver update

<[e-mail]>:
  o The following patch adds support for ethtool to the ewrk3 driver. It is against 2.5-BK but should apply to any recent 2.5 and 2.4 as well. In addition to adding ethtool support, it also removes the cli/sti fixup attribution from the changelog since that didn't actually go in yet and fixes a small style issue I introduced in the multi-card support patch.
  o This patch adds some locking fixups to the ewrk3 ioctl routine. None of these are critical since the ioctls AFAIK are used only by the EEPROM config utility.
  o Last ewrk3 for now. Updates the changelog to cover previous patches, bumps the revision number, and replaces the horrific EthwrkSignature function with something (slightly) less horrific.
