652486fb84 [PATCH] do_SAK: don't depend on session ID 0
I'm not really certain what the thinking was but the code obviously wanted to
walk processes other than just those in it's session, for purposes of do_SAK.
Just walking those tasks that don't have a session assigned sounds at the very
least incomplete.

So modify the code to kill everything in the session and anything else that
might have the tty open.  Hopefully this helps if the do_SAK functionality is
ever finished.

f96a795d4f [PATCH] do_tty_hangup: use group_send_sig_info not send_group_sig_info
We already have the tasklist_lock so there is no need for us to reacquire it
with send_group_sig_info.  reader/writer locks allow multiple readers and thus
recursion so the old code was ok just wastful.

94c2d01a53 ohci1394: cleanup the "Unexpected PCI resource length" warning.
This warning happens in practice because the resource length reported by
the chipset is too large.  This is not actually a problem, so don't warn
about it.  If it happens to be too small, warn about that, but with
a different message so people who are used to ignoring the old message
don't.

556640510d sbp2: check for ARM failure
Sbp2 did not check for successful registration of the lower address range
when CONFIG_IEEE1394_SBP2_PHYS_DMA was set. If hpsb_register_addrspace
failed, a "login timed-out" would occur which is misleading. Now sbp2 logs
a sensible error message.

147830f297 sbp2: prevent unloading of 1394 low-level driver
When a new SBP-2 unit is added, sbp2 now takes a reference on the 1394
low-level driver (ohci1394 or pcilynx).  This prevents the 1394 host driver
module from being unloaded, e.g. by an administrative routine cleanup of
unused kernel modules or when another 1394 driver which depends on ohci1394
is unloaded.

The reference is dropped when the SBP-2 unit was disconnected, when sbp2 is
unloaded or detached from the unit, or when addition of the SBP-2 unit failed.

4b6f5d20b0 [PATCH] Make most file operations structs in fs/ const
This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/
const.  Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups

The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to
shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with
things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus
cache clean)

d266ab8893 [PATCH] Small fixes backported to old IDE SiS driver
Some quick backport bits from the libata PATA work to fix things found in
the sis driver.  The piix driver needs some fixes too but those are way to
large and need someone working on old IDE with time to do them.

This patch fixes the case where random bits get loaded into SIS timing
registers according to the description of the correct behaviour from
Vojtech Pavlik.  It also adds the SiS5517 ATA16 chipset which is not
currently supported by the driver.  Thanks to Conrad Harriss for loaning me
the machine with the 5517 chipset.

raid5 overloads bi_phys_segments to count the number of blocks that the
request was broken in to so that it knows when the bio is completely handled.

Accessing this must always be done under a spinlock.  In one case we also call
bi_end_io under that spinlock, which probably isn't ideal as bi_end_io could
be expensive (even though it isn't allowed to sleep).

So we reducde the range of the spinlock to just accessing bi_phys_segments.

b3b46be38a [PATCH] md: Remove some stray semi-colons after functions called in macro..
wait_event_lock_irq puts a ';' after its usage of the 4th arg, so we don't
need to.

e464eafdb4 [PATCH] md: Support suspending of IO to regions of an md array
This allows user-space to access data safely.  This is needed for raid5
reshape as user-space needs to take a backup of the first few stripes before
allowing reshape to commence.

It will also be useful in cluster-aware raid1 configurations so that all
cluster members can leave a section of the array untouched while a
resync/recovery happens.

A 'start' and 'end' of the suspended range are written to 2 sysfs attributes.
Note that only one range can be suspended at a time.
