linas@austin.ibm.com 065c635907 [PATCH] PCI Error Recovery: documentation
Various PCI bus errors can be signaled by newer PCI controllers.
Recovering from those errors requires an infrastructure to notify
affected device drivers of the error, and a way of walking through
a reset sequence.  This patch adds documentation describing the
current error recovery proposal.

Jesse Barnes 5d135dff53 [PATCH] PCI: document sysfs rom file interface
idr gently pointed out today that not only is the sysfs rom file
interface somewhat unintuitive (despite my efforts and initial
implementation), but it's also undocumented!  This patch to
Documentation/filesystems/sysfs-pci.txt corrects the latter problem; the
former is a userland ABI now though, so we're stuck with it for awhile
at least.

Knut Petersen 44637a12f8 [PATCH] Update cyblafb driver
This is a major update to the cyblafb framebuffer driver. Most
of the stuff has been tested in the mm tree.

Main advantages:
============
  - vxres > xres support
  - ywrap and xpan support
  - much faster for almost all modes (e.g. 1280x1024-16bpp
     draws more than 41 full screens of text instead of about 25
     full screens of text per second on authors Epia 5000)
  - module init/exit code fixed
  - bugs triggered by console rotation fixed
  - lots of minor improvements
  - startup modes suitable for high performance scrolling
     in all directions

This diff  also contains a lot of white space fixes.

No side effects are possible, only one single graphics core is affected.

David Howells b5f545c880 [PATCH] keys: Permit running process to instantiate keys
Make it possible for a running process (such as gssapid) to be able to
instantiate a key, as was requested by Trond Myklebust for NFS4.

The patch makes the following changes:

 (1) A new, optional key type method has been added. This permits a key type
     to intercept requests at the point /sbin/request-key is about to be
     spawned and do something else with them - passing them over the
     rpc_pipefs files or netlink sockets for instance.

     The uninstantiated key, the authorisation key and the intended operation
     name are passed to the method.

 (2) The callout_info is no longer passed as an argument to /sbin/request-key
     to prevent unauthorised viewing of this data using ps or by looking in
     /proc/pid/cmdline.

     This means that the old /sbin/request-key program will not work with the
     patched kernel as it will expect to see an extra argument that is no
     longer there.

     A revised keyutils package will be made available tomorrow.

 (3) The callout_info is now attached to the authorisation key. Reading this
     key will retrieve the information.

 (4) A new field has been added to the task_struct. This holds the
     authorisation key currently active for a thread. Searches now look here
     for the caller's set of keys rather than looking for an auth key in the
     lowest level of the session keyring.

     This permits a thread to be servicing multiple requests at once and to
     switch between them. Note that this is per-thread, not per-process, and
     so is usable in multithreaded programs.

     The setting of this field is inherited across fork and exec.

 (5) A new keyctl function (KEYCTL_ASSUME_AUTHORITY) has been added that
     permits a thread to assume the authority to deal with an uninstantiated
     key. Assumption is only permitted if the authorisation key associated
     with the uninstantiated key is somewhere in the thread's keyrings.

     This function can also clear the assumption.

 (6) A new magic key specifier has been added to refer to the currently
     assumed authorisation key (KEY_SPEC_REQKEY_AUTH_KEY).

 (7) Instantiation will only proceed if the appropriate authorisation key is
     assumed first. The assumed authorisation key is discarded if
     instantiation is successful.

 (8) key_validate() is moved from the file of request_key functions to the
     file of permissions functions.

 (9) The documentation is updated.

From: <Valdis.Kletnieks@vt.edu>

    Build fix.

David Howells cab8eb594e [PATCH] keys: Discard duplicate keys from a keyring on link
Cause any links within a keyring to keys that match a key to be linked into
that keyring to be discarded as a link to the new key is added.  The match is
contingent on the type and description strings being the same.

This permits requests, adds and searches to displace negative, expired,
revoked and dead keys easily.  After some discussion it was concluded that
duplicate valid keys should probably be discarded also as they would otherwise
hide the new key.

Since request_key() is intended to be the primary method by which keys are
added to a keyring, duplicate valid keys wouldn't be an issue there as that
function would return an existing match in preference to creating a new key.

Paul Jackson 45b07ef31d [PATCH] cpusets: swap migration interface
Add a boolean "memory_migrate" to each cpuset, represented by a file
containing "0" or "1" in each directory below /dev/cpuset.

It defaults to false (file contains "0").  It can be set true by writing
"1" to the file.

If true, then anytime that a task is attached to the cpuset so marked, the
pages of that task will be moved to that cpuset, preserving, to the extent
practical, the cpuset-relative placement of the pages.

Also anytime that a cpuset so marked has its memory placement changed (by
writing to its "mems" file), the tasks in that cpuset will have their pages
moved to the cpusets new nodes, preserving, to the extent practical, the
cpuset-relative placement of the moved pages.

Rohit Seth 8ad4b1fb82 [PATCH] Make high and batch sizes of per_cpu_pagelists configurable
As recently there has been lot of traffic on the right values for batch and
high water marks for per_cpu_pagelists.  This patch makes these two
variables configurable through /proc interface.

A new tunable /proc/sys/vm/percpu_pagelist_fraction is added.  This entry
controls the fraction of pages at most in each zone that are allocated for
each per cpu page list.  The min value for this is 8.  It means that we
don't allow more than 1/8th of pages in each zone to be allocated in any
single per_cpu_pagelist.

The batch value of each per cpu pagelist is also updated as a result.  It
is set to pcp->high/4.  The upper limit of batch is (PAGE_SHIFT * 8)

Andrew Morton 9d0243bca3 [PATCH] drop-pagecache
Add /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches.  When written to, this will cause the kernel to
discard as much pagecache and/or reclaimable slab objects as it can.  THis
operation requires root permissions.

It won't drop dirty data, so the user should run `sync' first.

Caveats:

a) Holds inode_lock for exorbitant amounts of time.

b) Needs to be taught about NUMA nodes: propagate these all the way through
   so the discarding can be controlled on a per-node basis.

This is a debugging feature: useful for getting consistent results between
filesystem benchmarks.  We could possibly put it under a config option, but
it's less than 300 bytes.

This is the current version of the spu file system, used

This release is almost identical to the version for the
2.6.14 kernel posted earlier, which is available as part
of the Cell BE Linux distribution from
http://www.bsc.es/projects/deepcomputing/linuxoncell/.

The first patch provides all the interfaces for running
spu application, but does not have any support for
debugging SPU tasks or for scheduling. Both these
functionalities are added in the subsequent patches.

Dominik Brodowski f8cfa618dc [PATCH] pcmcia: unify attach, EVENT_CARD_INSERTION handlers into one probe callback
Unify the EVENT_CARD_INSERTION and "attach" callbacks to one unified
probe() callback. As all in-kernel drivers are changed to this new
callback, there will be no temporary backwards-compatibility. Inside a
probe() function, each driver _must_ set struct pcmcia_device
*p_dev->instance and instance->handle correctly.

With these patches, the basic driver interface for 16-bit PCMCIA drivers
now has the classic four callbacks known also from other buses:

        int (*probe)            (struct pcmcia_device *dev);
        void (*remove)          (struct pcmcia_device *dev);

        int (*suspend)          (struct pcmcia_device *dev);
