28254d439b [PATCH] vga text console and stty cols/rows
Some people use 66-cells braille devices for reading the console, and hence
would like to reduce the width of the screen by using:

stty cols 66

However, the vga text console doesn't behave correctly: the 14 first
characters of the second line are put on the right of the first line and so
forth.

Here is a patch to correct that.  It corrects the disp_end and offset
registers of the vga board on console resize and console switch.

On usual screens, you then correctly get a right and/or bottom blank
margin.  On some laptop panels, the output is resized so that text actually
gets magnified, which can be great for some people (see
http://dept-info.labri.fr/~thibault/ls.jpg ).

ff55fe2075 [PATCH] pty_chars_in_buffer oops fix
The idea of this patch is to lock both sides of a ptmx/pty pair during line
discipline changing.  This is needed to ensure that say a poll on one side of
the pty doesn't occur while the line discipline is actively being changed.
This resulted in an oops reported on lkml, see:

	http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=111342171410005&w=2

A 'hacky' approach was previously implmemented which served to eliminate the
poll vs.  line discipline changing race.  However, this patch takes a more
general approach to the issue.  The patch only adds locking on a less often
used path, the line-discipline changing path, as opposed to locking the
ptmx/pty pair on read/write/poll paths.

The patch below, takes both ldisc locks in either order b/c the locks are both
taken under the same spinlock().  I thought about locking the ptmx/pty
separately, such as master always first but that introduces a 3 way deadlock.
For example, process 1 does a blocking read on the slave side.  Then, process
2 does an ldisc change on the slave side, which acquires the master ldisc lock
but not the slave's.  Finally, process 3 does a write which blocks on the
process 2's ldisc reference.

This patch does introduce some changes in semantics.  For example, a line
discipline change on side 'a' of a ptmx/pty pair, will now wait for a
read/write to complete on the other side, or side 'b'.  The current behavior
is to simply wait for any read/writes on only side 'a', not both sides 'a' and
'b'.  I think this behavior makes sense, but I wanted to point it out.

I've tested the patch with a bunch of read/write/poll while changing the line
discipline out from underneath.

This patch obviates the need for the above "hide the problem" patch.

2e55cc7210 [PATCH] USB: usbnet (3/9) module for ASIX Ethernet adapters
This patch moves the ASIX AX8817x driver into its own file, just using
the "usbnet" infrastructure as a utility library.

 - As with "cdc_subset" this involved minor Kconfig/kbuild tweaks,
   moving code from one file to another, and exporting a few functions.

 - This includes updates from Jamie Painter to add (and use) a new hook
   to handle the different maximum transfer sizes for rx and tx sides.

 - Also from Jamie, some bugfixes:
    * MDIO byteorder (to address some PPC media negotiation problems);
    * Force alignment at key spots when using ax88772 framing (on some
      embedded hardware, the network stack will break otherwise);
    * Address some link reset problems.

It also makes this driver use the standard (5 seconds vs half second)
control timeouts used elsewhere in USB; and wraps a few lines before
the 80th column (which previously needed it).

This patch creates the first of several separate "minidriver" modules
for "usbnet".  This one handles only the very simplest hardware, which
can be handled almost entirely by the "usbnet" core.

    - Move device-specific bits into new "cdc_subset.c" driver,

    - Export the functions needed to support this minidriver
      (with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL);

notable ones being Gumstix and most Linux-based PDAs (except Zaurus
running that ancient code from Sharp).

f29fc25997 [PATCH] USB: usbnet (1/9) clean up framing
This starts to prepare the core of "usbnet" to know less about various
framing protocols that map Ethernet packets onto USB, so "minidrivers"
can be modules that just plug into the core.

  - Remove some framing-specific code that cluttered the core:

      * net->hard_header_len records how much space to preallocate;
        now drivers that add their own framing (Net1080, GeneLink,
	Zaurus, and RNDIS) will have smoother TX paths.  Even for
	the drivers (Zaurus, Net1080) that need trailers.

      * defines new dev->hard_mtu, using this "hardware" limit to
        check changes to the link's settable "software" mtu.

      * now net->hard_header_len and dev->hard_mtu are set up in the
        driver bind() routines, if needed.

  - Transaction ID is no longer specific to the Net1080 framing;
    RNDIS needs one too.

  - Creates a new "usbnet.h" header with declarations that are shared
    between the core and what will be separate modules.

  - Plus a couple other minor tweaks, like recognizing -ESHUTDOWN
    means the keventd work should just shut itself down asap.

The core code is only about 1/3 of this large file.  Splitting out the
minidrivers into separate modules (e.g. ones for ASIX adapters,
Zaurii and similar, CDC Ethernet, etc), in later patches, will
improve maintainability and shrink typical runtime footprints.

This patch (as556) adds support for unbinding the usb_generic "driver".
That driver only binds to USB devices, as opposed to interfaces, and it
does nothing much besides marking which struct device's go with an
overall USB device plus providing suspend/resume methods.  Now that
users can unbind drivers at will using the sysfs "unbind" attribute, we
need a rational way of dealing with USB devices that are no longer under
full control of the USB stack.  The patch handles this by unconfiguring
the device, thereby removing all the interfaces and their associated
drivers and children.

8b28c7526a [PATCH] USB: Code motion in the hub driver
This patch (as553) merely moves some code and deletes an unneeded test in
the hub driver.  This is in preparation for the patch that follows.

68a6457edb [PATCH] USB: Fix HP8200 detection in shuttle_usbat
Adding flash-device support to the shuttle_usbat driver in 2.6.11
introduced the need to detect which type of device we are dealing with:
CDRW drive, or flash media reader.

The detection routine used turned out to not work for HP8200 CDRW users,
who saw their devices being detected as a flash disk.

This patch (which has been tested on both flash and cdrom) removes some
unnecessary code, moves device detection to much later during
initialization, and introduces a new detection routine which appears to
work.

b375a0495f [PATCH] USB: URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag removed from the kernel
29 July 2005, Cambridge, MA:

This afternoon Alan Stern submitted a patch to remove the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK
flag from the Linux kernel.  Mr. Stern explained, "This flag is a relic
from an earlier, less-well-designed system.  For over a year it hasn't
been used for anything other than printing warning messages."

An anonymous spokesman for the Linux kernel development community
commented, "This is exactly the sort of thing we see happening all the
time.  As the kernel evolves, support for old techniques and old code can
be jettisoned and replaced by newer, better approaches.  Proprietary
operating systems do not have the freedom or flexibility to change so
quickly."

Mr. Stern, a staff member at Harvard University's Rowland Institute who
works on Linux only as a hobby, noted that the patch (labelled as548) did
not update two files, keyspan.c and option.c, in the USB drivers' "serial"
subdirectory.  "Those files need more extensive changes," he remarked.
"They examine the status field of several URBs at times when they're not
supposed to.  That will need to be fixed before the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag
is removed."

Greg Kroah-Hartman, the kernel maintainer responsible for overseeing all
of Linux's USB drivers, did not respond to our inquiries or return our
calls.  His only comment was "Applied, thanks."

a4e628328e [PATCH] USB Storage: wedge SCSI revision at 2 for usb-storage devices
This patch started life as as479b, and has been rediffed.  Please note
the order of submission of this latest patch series -- even tho this has
an older original number, it is the last patch I'll be sending today.

This patch changes the reported SCSI revision level to 2 for all
disk-type devices.  This is needed in a few cases because the device
reports a level of 3 or higher but then crashes when given a REPORT LUNS
command (for which support is supposed to be mandatory at those levels).
This shouldn't harm us, since it only matters for sparse LUNs and we
have separate ways of coping with that.

34008dbfe8 [PATCH] USB Storage: add support for Maxtor One-Touch button
This patch is originally from Nick Sillik, and has been rediffed against
the latest tree.

This patch adds usability to the OneTouch Button on Maxtor External USB
Hard Drives. Using an unusual device entry it declares an extra init
function which claims the interrupt endpoint associated with this
button.  The button is connected to the input system.

26186ba77b [PATCH] USB Storage: close a race condition in disconnect near queuecommand
This patch started life as as534, and has been re-diffed against the latest
tree.

usb-storage has a small loophole, a window between the time queuecommand
accepts a new command and the time the control thread starts to execute
it.  If disconnect is called during that window, the driver won't cancel
the pending command -- we've been relying on the SCSI core to cancel it
for us during host removal.  But it's better for usb-storage to cancel
it;  this avoids races and reduces reliance on the SCSI core.
Fortunately cancelling these commands is easy to do; the key is to do it
_before_ calling scsi_remove_host.

77f46328fb [PATCH] USB Storage: close a race condition in disconnect near probe
This patch started life as as533, and has been re-diffed against the
current tree.

Disconnect processing in usb-storage naturally divides into two parts:
one to quiesce the driver (make sure no commands are executing or
queued) and remove the host, and the other to deallocate all the USB and
non-USB resources.  This patch creates two subroutines to handle those
two parts.  Mostly it's just code movement, but there is one significant
change.  If the scsi-scanning thread fails to initialize but the host
has successfully been added, we need to quiesce the driver before
removing the host.  After all, it's possible that scanning could have
been initiated from somewhere else, such as userspace -- very low
probability, but it's easily handled by calling the new subroutine.
