c8c22c942e [PATCH] ipw2200: Add pci .shutdown handler
If we don't disable the card in the pci .shutdown method, there might be
pending interrupts still in the interrupt line after a reboot on some
platform. This patch fixes the problem by disable the hardware in the pci
.shutdown method.

b9bec768c3 [PATCH] ipw2200: Fix kernel Oops if cmdlog debug is enabled
When command error log debug is enabled, we write every host command and
parameters into a buffer. But we didn't alloc the parameter buffer for this
case. The patch adds struct cmdlog_host_cmd so that the buffer is allocated
from the stack.

88a93df4cb [PATCH] ipw2200: remove the MAC timestamp present field from radiotap head
IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_TSFT is defined as the Value in microseconds of the
MAC's 64-bit 802.11 Time Synchronization Function timer when the first bit
of the MPDU arrived at the MAC. Since ipw2200 hardware doesn't provide this
value, we disable this feature from the radiotap header present flag.

a9f0d42321 [PATCH] ipw2200: Reassociate even if set the same essid.
This patch traps the case when the essid is being set to its
current value. If the essid is being set again and we are already
associated, chances are some other parameters have also been altered.
I think it is safer to do the re-association for this case.

ab644b0b51 [PATCH] ipw2200: ipw_wx_set_essid fix
This patch cleanups the ipw_wx_set_essid code and forces a reassociation
when setting the essid to "any". I have tested this patch with iwconfig. It
makes ipw2200 compliant with all the cases mentioned in the iwconfig man
page. The commands

iwconfig iface essid any
iwconfig iface essid -- any
iwconfig iface essid off
iwconfig iface essid on

all seemed to work correctly. None of this worked before the patch.

Note, this patch treats

iwconfig iface essid
iwconfig iface essid ""

The same. It produces an error message: essid: Unknown host.
Since an essid of "" is not mentioned in the iwconfig man page.

c580f67fd7 [PATCH] ipw2200: SIOCGIWFREQ ioctl returns frequency rather than channel
The SIOCGIWFREQ ioctl fills the request structure's freq field by setting
the exponent to 0 and the mantissa to the current channel number. The
iwconfig tool works around this behaviour by looking up the frequency
from the channel table if a frequency below 1kHz is returned, other tools
(e.g. kwlaninfo) don't. According to the comment in the iwconfig source
the driver is supposed to return the frequency, not the channel number.

Moving part of the debugging code from IPW_DEBUG to IPW_LL_DEBUG (low level
debugging) and make IPW_DEBUG be always enabled. IPW_LL_DEBUG still needs
to be enabled by selecting CONFIG_IPW2200_DEBUG. But it is highly
deprecated for normal users since it adds higher debug verbosity in driver

3b4c7d6403 [PATCH] kthread: airo.c
The airo driver is currently caching a pid for later use, but with the
implementation of containers, pids themselves do not uniquely identify a
task.  The driver is also using kernel_thread() which is deprecated in
drivers.

This patch essentially replaces the kernel_thread() with kthread_create().
It also stores the task_struct of the airo_thread rather than its pid.
Since this introduces a second task_struct in struct airo_info, the patch
renames airo_info.task to airo_info.list_bss_task.

As an extension of these changes, the patch further:

	 - replaces kill_proc() with kthread_stop()
	 - replaces signal_pending() with kthread_should_stop()
	 - removes thread completion synchronisation which is handled by
	   kthread_stop().

f4ad7b5807 [SCSI] scsi_transport_sas: remove local_attached flag
This flag denotes local attachment of the phy.  There are two problems
with it:

1) It's actually redundant ... you can get the same information simply
by seeing whether a host is the phys parent
2) we condition a lot of phy parameters on it on the false assumption
that we can only control local phys.  I'm wiring up phy resets in the
aic94xx now, and it will be able to reset non-local phys as well.

I fixed 2) by moving the local check into the reset and stats function
of the mptsas, since that seems to be the only HBA that can't
(currently) control non-local phys.

8469219596 [PATCH] md: avoid backward event updates in md superblock when degraded.
If we
  - shut down a clean array,
  - restart with one (or more) drive(s) missing
  - make some changes
  - pause, so that they array gets marked 'clean',
the event count on the superblock of included drives
will be the same as that of the removed drives.
So adding the removed drive back in will cause it
to be included with no resync.

To avoid this, we only update the eventcount backwards when the array
is not degraded.  In this case there can (should) be no non-connected
drives that we can get confused with, and this is the particular case
where updating-backwards is valuable.

When reading /dev/vcsa while a font with more than 256 characters is
loaded, one of the attribute bits records the 9th bit of the character.
But depending on the console driver (vgacon or fbcon for instance), that's
bit 3 or bit 0.  And there is no way for userland to know that, thus no way
for userland to safely grab the screen content.  So here is a (tested)
patch:

Add a VT_GETHIFONTMASK ioctl for knowing which bit is the 9th bit for VC

I wish I was happier about this patch.  It'll serve as a placeholder for
the moment.  I'm still trying to get a G550 working in order to even

jitter even without this patch, so it won't show me what the patch changed.
 At this point, I'll continue trying to get the G550 to work, and in
parallel work with the G450 to work out the kinks.

The patch is below.

Set XDVICLKCTRL only on PPC, as doing this apparently introduces jitter on
the G550, at least on x86 architectures.

01cfaf0d12 [PATCH] char/moxa.c: fix endianess and multiple-card issues
While testing Moxa C218T/PCI on PowerPC 405EP I found that loading firmware
using the linux kernel driver fails because calculation of the checksum is
not endianess independent in the original code.

After I fixed this I found that uploading firmware in a system with
multiple cards causes a kernel oops.  I had a look in the recent moxa
sources and found that they do some kind of locking there.  Applying this
lock fixed the problem.

Alan sayeth:

  Checksum changes are clearly correct.  Other changes is an improvement but
  not I think enough to handle malicious firmware attacks.  That said such an
  attacker has CAP_SYS_RAWIO anyway so that part is irrelevant except for
  neatness.

7334bb4ae9 [PATCH] 1394: fix for recently added firewire patch that breaks things on ppc
Recently a patch was added for preliminary suspend/resume handling on
!PPC_PMAC.  However, this broke both suspend and firewire on powerpc
because it saves the pci state after the device has already been disabled.

This moves the save state to before the pmac specific code.

c06aad854f [PATCH] dm: Fix deadlock under high i/o load in raid1 setup.
On an nForce4-equipped machine with two SATA disk in raid1 setup using dmraid,
we experienced frequent deadlock of the system under high i/o load.  'cat
/dev/zero > ~/zero' was the most reliable way to reproduce them: Randomly
after a few GB, 'cp' would be left in 'D' state along with kjournald and
kmirrord.  The functions cp and kjournald were blocked in did vary, but
kmirrord's wchan always pointed to 'mempool_alloc()'.  We've seen this pattern
on 2.6.15 and 2.6.17 kernels.  http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/4/20/142 indicates
that this problem has been around even before.

So much for the facts, here's my interpretation: mempool_alloc() first tries
to atomically allocate the requested memory, or falls back to hand out
preallocated chunks from the mempool.  If both fail, it puts the calling
process (kmirrord in this case) on a private waitqueue until somebody refills
the pool.  Where the only 'somebody' is kmirrord itself, so we have a
deadlock.

I worked around this problem by falling back to a (blocking) kmalloc when
before kmirrord would have ended up on the waitqueue.  This defeats part of
the benefits of using the mempool, but at least keeps the system running.  And
it could be done with a two-line change.  Note that mempool_alloc() clears the
GFP_NOIO flag internally, and only uses it to decide whether to wait or return
an error if immediate allocation fails, so the attached patch doesn't change
behaviour in the non-deadlocking case.  Path is against current git
(2.6.18-rc4), but should apply to earlier versions as well.  I've tested on
2.6.15, where this patch makes the difference between random lockup and a
stable system.

9a654518e1 [PATCH] drivers/rtc: fix rtc-s3c.c
In the cleanups of drivers/rtc/s3c-rtc.c, the base address for the
registers got broken.  This patch fixes that by ensuring the readb/writeb
are all prefixed with the base returned from ioremap()ing the registers.

Also fix check for valid year range, which was the wrong way around.

94918ff68a [PATCH] unusual_devs update for UCR-61S2B
The existing unusual_devs entry for the UCR-61S2B appears to have too
wide a revision range.  It matches at least one device that doesn't
respond to the initialization sequence.  Perhaps the sequence needs to
be updated, or perhaps something else can be done.  For now, this patch
(as764) restricts the range to include only the revision mentioned in
the original comment.

This resolves (for now!) Bugzilla entry #6950.
