835b3f0c0d [TCP]: Add TCP Hybla congestion control module.
TCP Hybla congestion avoidance.

- "In heterogeneous networks, TCP connections that incorporate a
terrestrial or satellite radio link are greatly disadvantaged with
respect to entirely wired connections, because of their longer round
trip times (RTTs). To cope with this problem, a new TCP proposal, the
TCP Hybla, is presented and discussed in the paper[1]. It stems from an
analytical evaluation of the congestion window dynamics in the TCP
standard versions (Tahoe, Reno, NewReno), which suggests the necessary
modifications to remove the performance dependence on RTT.[...]"[1]

9235e68be8 [PATCH] IDE CD reports current speed
The current ide-cd driver reports the CDROM speed (as found in
/proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info) as the current speed when loading the driver.
Changing the speed of the cdrom drive (by "eject -x" for instance) doesn't
update the speed reported by the kernel.  Updating the info could be
valuable for the user as it's the only way to know if the drive accepted
the request or discarded it.  It could even be used to list all the
available speeds of the drive.

The attached patch modifies the ide-cd driver so that after every speed
change request the new speed is updated.  Please note that the actual
modification is very little but I had to touch quite a few lines in order
to avoid to pre-declare the sub-functions.

152becd26e [PATCH] Bug in error recovery in fs/buffer.c::__block_prepare_write()
fs/buffer.c::__block_prepare_write() has broken error recovery.  It calls
the get_block() callback with "create = 1" and if that succeeds it
immediately clears buffer_new on the just allocated buffer (which has
buffer_new set).

The bug is that if an error occurs and get_block() returns != 0, we break
from this loop and go into recovery code.  This code has this comment:

/* Error case: */
/*
 * Zero out any newly allocated blocks to avoid exposing stale
 * data.  If BH_New is set, we know that the block was newly
 * allocated in the above loop.
 */

So the intent is obviously good in that it wants to clear just allocated
and hence not zeroed buffers.  However the code recognises allocated
buffers by checking for buffer_new being set.

Unfortunately __block_prepare_write() as discussed above already cleared
buffer_new on all allocated buffers thus no buffers will be cleared during
error recovery and old data will be leaked.

The simplest way I can see to fix this is to make the current recovery code
work by _not_ clearing buffer_new after calling get_block() in
__block_prepare_write().

We cannot safely allow buffer_new buffers to "leak out" of
__block_prepare_write(), thus we simply do a quick loop over the buffers
clearing buffer_new on each of them if it is set just before returning
"success" from __block_prepare_write().

Trond said:

  f_error was introduced for NFS, and made sense when we were guaranteed
  always to have a file pointer around when write errors occurred.  Since
  then, we have (for various reasons) had to introduce the nfs_open_context in
  order to track the file read/write state, and it made sense to move our
  f_error tracking there too.

bb93e3a52f [PATCH] block: add unlocked_ioctl support for block devices
This patch allows block device drivers to convert their ioctl functions to
unlocked_ioctl() like character devices and other subsystems.  All
functions that were called with the BKL held before are still used that
way, but I would not be surprised if it could be removed from the ioctl
functions in drivers/block/ioctl.c themselves.

As a side note, I found that compat_blkdev_ioctl() acquires the BKL as
well, which looks like a bug.  I have checked that every user of
disk->fops->compat_ioctl() in the current git tree gets the BKL itself, so
it could easily be removed from compat_blkdev_ioctl().

fa912bcb06 [PATCH] yenta TI: turn off interrupts during card power-on #2
- make boot-up card recognition more reliable (ie.  redo interrogation
  always if there is no valid 'card inserted' state) (and yes, i saw it
  happening on an o2micro controller that both CB_CBARD and CB_16BITCARD
  bits were set at the same time)

- also redo interrogation before probing the ISA interrupts.  it's safer
  to do the probing with the socket in a clean state.

- make card insert detect more reliable.  yenta_get_status() now returns
  SS_PENDING as long as the card is not completley inserted and one of the
  voltage bits is set.  also !CB_CBARD doesn't mean CB_16BITCARD.  there is
  CB_NOTACARD as well, so make an explicit check for CB_16BITCARD.

- for TI bridges: disable IRQs during power-on.  in all-serial and tied
  interrupt mode the interrupts are always disabled for single-slot
  controllers.  for two-slot contollers the disabling is only done when the
  other slot is empty.  to force disabling there is a new module parameter
  now: pwr_irqs_off=Y (which is a regression for working setups.  that's
  why it's an option, only use when required)

- modparm to disable ISA interrupt probing (isa_probe, defaults to on)

- remove unneeded code/cleanups (ie.  merge yenta_events() into
  yenta_interrupts())

ef3daeda7b [PATCH] Don't force O_LARGEFILE for 32 bit processes on ia64
In ia64 kernel, the O_LARGEFILE flag is forced when opening a file.  This
is problematic for execution of 32 bit processes, which are not largefile
aware, either by SW emulation or by HW execution.

For such processes, the problem is two-fold:

1) When trying to open a file that is larger than 4G
   the operation should fail, but it's not
2) Writing to offset larger than 4G should fail, but
   it's not

The proposed patch takes advantage of the way 32 bit processes are
identified in ia64 systems.  Such processes have PER_LINUX32 for their
personality.  With the patch, the ia64 kernel will not enforce the
O_LARGEFILE flag if the current process has PER_LINUX32 set.  The behavior
for all other architectures remains unchanged.

   http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/3/24/199 b) the support for the nm9855 in

   'parport_serial' still doesn't work because of wrong assumptions about
   the relevant BARs port address layout for this chip:

	 0000:00:09.0 Communication controller:

618f06362a [PATCH] O(1) sb list traversing on syncs
This patch removes O(n^2) super block loops in sync_inodes(),
sync_filesystems() etc.  in favour of using __put_super_and_need_restart()
which I introduced earlier.  We faced a noticably long freezes on sb
syncing when there are thousands of super blocks in the system.

4fea2838aa [PATCH] Software suspend and recalc sigpending bug fix
This patch fixes recalc_sigpending() to work correctly with tasks which are
being freezed.

The problem is that freeze_processes() sets PF_FREEZE and TIF_SIGPENDING
flags on tasks, but recalc_sigpending() called from e.g.
sys_rt_sigtimedwait or any other kernel place will clear TIF_SIGPENDING due
to no pending signals queued and the tasks won't be freezed until it
recieves a real signal or freezed_processes() fail due to timeout.
