ChangeSet@1.1566, 2004-10-18 15:34:46-02:00, benh@kernel.crashing.org [PATCH] Mikael Pettersson: PowerPC 745x coherency fix Two months ago, on August 15, I reported to the old linuxppc-dev list that the MPC745x coherency fix was needed also for the 2.4 kernels, and I included a patch for doing just that. This hasn't been included in 2.4.28-pre yet by the PPC maintainers, so I'm wondering what the holdup is? I can send it to Marcelo myself, but arch updates of this magnitude ought to come from, or at least be signed-off-by, the arch maintainers.

Fix it by adding ->hard_port_no to struct ata_probe_ent and struct ata_port (per Jeff's suggestion) and teaching ata_piix.c to use it instead of ->port_no.

It is not the best fix. The 2.6 took a more fundamental approach, but I do not wish to rock the boat too much. Also, I'm not sure if 2.6 even gets it right at all, considering Fedora Core 3 bug 135171. At least this patch fixes the problem for me! :-) so I suppose better this than nothing, because getting oops otherwise is just too easy. I would like this to be in -pre. Here's the 2.6 bug (unfixed yet): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=135171 The 2.4 bug (fixed by this patch - admittedly a contrived scenario): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=129265 ChangeSet@1.1562, 2004-10-13 08:35:53-03:00, herbert@gondor.apana.org.au [PATCH] Fix hiddev devfs oops There is a long-standing devfs_unregister oops in hid/hiddev. It's caused by hid calling hiddev_exit before unregistering itself which in turn calls hiddev_disconnect. hiddev_exit removes the directory which contains the hiddev devices. Therefore it needs to be called after the hiddev devices have been disconnected. This patch fixes that. ===== drivers/usb/hid-core.c 1.30 vs edited ===== ChangeSet@1.1561, 2004-10-11 13:19:05-03:00, davej@redhat.com [PATCH] davej CREDITS update Wow, this has been out of date for over a year.

This patch makes the return from the write() syscall actually an ssize_t instead of an int.

The negative dentries accumulate alarmingly (until memory pressure finally frees them), and are just a hindrance to any in-memory filesystem. Two more users have reported this since. shmem_lookup set d_op to arrange for negative dentries to be deleted immediately. (But I failed to discover how it is that on-disk filesystems seem to keep their negative dentries within manageable bounds: this effect was gross with tmpfs or ramfs, but no problem at all with extN or reiser.)
