Linux 2.5.8-pre2

[Linus Torvalds]

More merging with various people, USB+ARM+more network drivers etc.

The actual patch is pretty huge, because the USB changes moves USB files
around a lot. The BK diffs (and actual "real changes") are smaller than 
the patch would imply (here Larry pipes up with number of deltas ;)

	cleanups for ARM.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/13 1.388.3.4)
	Fix scope of init/exit functions in ds1620.c
	NetWinder flash driver should use ioremap, not the private __ioremap.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/22 1.384.11.3)
	[PATCH] 1079/1: recognize PXA250 revision B0 and hier
	
	

<[e-mail]> (02/03/22 1.384.11.4)
	[PATCH] 1080/1: Addition of new files for the Intel PXA250/210 architecture
	
	This only populates the linux/arch/arm/mach-pxa directory.
	

<[e-mail]> (02/03/22 1.384.11.5)
	[PATCH] 1081/1: addition of new header files for the Intel PXA250/210 architecture
	
	This patch populates the linux/include/asm-arm/arch-pxa directory.
	

<[e-mail]> (02/03/22 1.384.11.6)
	[PATCH] 1082/1: changes to linux/arch/arm/kernel/* for PXA architecture
	Actually only debug.S and entry-armv.S
	

<[e-mail]> (02/03/22 1.384.11.7)
	[PATCH] 1083/1: 64-bit unsigned modulo arithmetic support
	I've added support for 64-bit modulo arithmetic on ARM. This is needed for
	the video4linux API to function properly and since there's already support
	for 64-bit divides, I think there shouldn't be any reason for the absence of
	this.
	

<[e-mail]> (02/03/23 1.384.11.8)

	2.4.18-rmk3 fails to build on the EBSA285 if there is no video stuff
	enabled with a missing symbol.  For me the linker lied and told me it
	was in irq.c but it was actually in the previous file in the link,
	mach-footbridge/arch.c ; the symbol is screen_info which is what the
	ORIG_* macros use.
	
	Note I haven't yet tested this booting, just building.

	Merge hydra net drvr conversion to Zorro-specific
	z_{read,write}[bwl] routines from 2.4.x.

<[e-mail]> (02/04/04 1.524.26.1)
	This fixes the "i_blocks went wrong when the disk filled up"
	problem.
	
	In ext3_new_block() we increment i_blocks early, so the
	quota operation can be performed outside lock_super().
	But if the block allocation ends up failing, we forget to
	undo the allocation.  
	
	This is not a serious bug, and probably does not warrant
	an upgrade for production machines.  Its effects are:
	
	1) errors are generated from e2fsck and
	
	2) users could appear to be over quota when they really aren't.
	
	The patch undoes the accounting operation if the allocation
	ends up failing.

<[e-mail]> (02/04/04 1.524.24.12)
	Merge some new PCI ids from e100 to eepro100 net driver.

<[e-mail]> (02/04/04 1.524.24.14)
	Fix jiffies-comparison timeout bug in arlan net driver.

<[e-mail]> (02/04/04 1.524.26.2)
	Andrew Morton's ext2 sync mount speedup.  Description:
	
	At present, when mounted synchronously or with `chattr +S' in effect,
	ext2 syncs the indirect blocks for every new block when extending a
	file.
	
	This is not necessary, because a sync is performed on the way out of
	generic_file_write().  This will pick up all necessary data from
	inode->i_dirty_buffers and inode->i_dirty_data_buffers, and is
	sufficient.
	
	The patch removes all the syncing of indirect blocks.
	
	On a non-write-caching scsi disk, an untar of the util-linux tarball
	runs three times faster.  Writing a 100 megabyte file in one megabyte
	chunks speeds up ten times.
	
	The patch also removes the intermediate indirect block syncing on the
	truncate() path.  Instead, we sync the indirects at a single place, via
	inode->i_dirty_buffers.  This not only means that the writes (may)
	cluster better.  It means that we perform much, much less actual I/O
	during truncate, because most or all of the indirects will no longer be
	needed for the file, and will be invalidated.
	
	fsync() and msync() still work correctly.  One side effect of this
	patch is that VM-initiated writepage() against a file hole will no
	longer block on writeout of indirect blocks.  This is good.
	

<[e-mail]> (02/04/04 1.524.26.3)
	ext3 filesystem sync mount speedup:
	Again, we don't need to sync indirects as we dirty them because
	we run a commit if IS_SYNC(inode) prior to returning to the
	caller of write(2).
	
	Writing a 10 meg file in 0.1 meg chunks is sped up by, err,
	a factor of fifty.  That's a best case.
	

<[e-mail]> (02/04/04 1.524.24.15)
	e100 net driver update 1/3:
	The patch separates max busy wait constants making in max of 100 usec for
	wait scb and max of 50 usec for wait cus idle. These constants found
	sufficient using heavy traffic tests.

<[e-mail]> (02/04/04 1.524.24.16)
	e100 net driver update 2/3:
	Adding missing pci write flush to the procedure e100_exec_cmd

<[e-mail]> (02/04/04 1.524.24.17)
	e100 net driver update 3/3:

<[e-mail]> (02/04/04 1.524.29.1)
	Don't allow preemption to change task state.

<[e-mail]> (02/04/04 1.524.29.2)
	[PATCH] kjournald exits with nonzero preempt_count
	
	The preempt_count debug check that went into 2.5.8-pre1 already caught a
	simple case in kjournald.  Specifically, kjournald does not drop the BKL
	when it exits as it knows schedule will do so for it.
	
	For the sake of clarity and exiting with a preempt_count of zero, the
	attached patch explicitly calls unlock_kernel when kjournald is exiting.

<[e-mail]> (02/04/04 1.524.29.4)

	uhhuh. Fix duplicate merge from -dj tree

<[e-mail]> (02/04/04 1.560)
	[PATCH] preemptive kernel behavior change: don't be rude
	
	- do not manually set task->state
	- instead, in preempt_schedule, set a flag in preempt_count that
	  denotes that this task is entering schedule off a kernel preemption.
	- use this flag in schedule to jump to pick_next_task
	- in preempt_schedule, upon return from schedule, unset the flag
	- have entry.S just call preempt_schedule and not duplicate this work,
	  as Linus suggested.  I agree.  Note this makes debugging easier as
	  we keep a single point of entry for kernel preemptions.
	
	The result: we can safely preempt non-TASK_RUNNING tasks.  If one is
	preempted, we can safely survive schedule because we won't handle the
	special casing of non-TASK_RUNNING at the top of schedule.  Thus other
	tasks can run as desired and our non-TASK_RUNNING task will eventually
	be rescheduled, in its original state, and complete happily.
	
	This is the behavior we have in the 2.4 patches and 2.5 until
	~2.5.6-pre.  This works.  It requires no other changes elsewhere (it
	actually removes some special-casing Ingo did in the signal code).

	Duh. Use "device_lock", not "device_root" for locking.

	[PATCH] elevator 'buglet'
	
	Lets just kill this check -- it usually only catches drivers queueing
	something in front of a started request on their own (such as shoving a
	request sense in front of a failed packet command, for instance). So
	it's either working around this detection in some drivers, or killing
	it. I vote for the latter, patch attached against 2.5.8-pre1 :-)

	[PATCH] PATCH 1 of 4 : knfsd : Use symbols for size calculation for response sizes.
	
	Use symbolic names for some common size components in the response
	size calculation for the NFSD.  This makes it easier to get the
	numbers right and to review them.
	This patch also fixes a few number for nfsv3 that were wrong.

	[PATCH] PATCH 2 of 4 : knfsd : Allow exporting of deviceless filesystems if fsid= given
	
	Previously we could only export FS_REQUIRES_DEV filesystems
	as we need a devno to put in the filehandle.
	Now that we have fsid= (NFSEXP_FSID) we don't need a devno
	to put in the filehandle so we can relax this requirement.

<[e-mail]> (02/04/05 1.575)
	[PATCH] PATCH 3 of 4 : knfsd : Store the fsid in the returned attributes instead of the device number
	
	When a filesystem is exported with  fsid=  we should use that
	fsid instead of the i_dev number when returning NFS attributes,
	so that there is no chance of clients that depend on the filesys
	id in the attributes getting confused by device numbers changing.
	
	We only do this if the reference filehandle uses fsid to identify
	the filesystem, so that a server can be converted from non-fsid= to
	using fsid= without confusing active clients.

	[PATCH] PATCH 4 of 4 : knfsd : Increase the max block size for NFS replies.
	
	This increases the max read/write size for nfsd from 8K to 32K.
	
	This requires making NFSv2 return the right number in statfs
	requests.  NFSv3 already does that.

	[PATCH] PATCH 4a or 4 : knfs : typo...
	
	typo in that last patch, sorry.

	[PATCH] shift BKL out of notify_change
	
	Moved i_sem down into notify_change() and out of the UMSDOS
	function. Moved BKL down from notify_change into filesystems.

<[e-mail]> (02/04/05 1.579)
	Make legacy drivers who use "virt_to_bus()" and friends work on x86.
	
	It's up to other architectures to worry about portability for now.
