498d0c5711 [PATCH] set_current_state() commentary
Explain the mysteries of set_current_state().

Quoth Linus:

 The scheduler itself never needs the memory barrier at all.

 The barrier is needed only if the user itself ends up testing some other
 thing afterwards, ie if you have

 	set_process_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
 	if (still_need_to_sleep())
 		schedule();

 then the "still_need_to_sleep()" thing may test flags and wakeup events,
 and then you _may_ want to (and often do) make sure that the write of
 TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE is serialized wrt the reads of any wakeup data (since
 the wakeup may have happened on another CPU).

 So the comment is somewhat wrong. We don't really _care_ whether the state
 propagates out to other CPU's since all of our actions are purely local,
 and there is nothing we do that is conditional on any other CPU: we're
 going to sleep unconditionally, and the scheduler only cares about _our_
 state, not about somebody elses state.

921717a2a1 [PATCH] Make BUILD_BUG_ON fail at compile time.
Force a compiler error instead of a link error, because they are easier to
track down.  Idea stolen from code by Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com>

If the argument to BUILD_BUG_ON evaluates to non-zero the compiler will do:

	t.c:6: error: size of array `type name' is negative

(surprised that gcc doesn't have an extension for this)

a1a5b3d93c [PATCH] open returns ENFILE but creates file anyway
When open(O_CREAT) is called and the error, ENFILE, is returned, the file
may be created anyway.  This is counter intuitive, against the SUS V3
specification, and may cause applications to misbehave if they are not
coded correctly to handle this semantic.  The SUS V3 specification
explicitly states "No files shall be created or modified if the function
returns -1.".

The error, ENFILE, is used to indicate the system wide open file table is
full and no more file structs can be allocated.

This is due to an ordering problem.  The entry in the directory is created
before the file struct is allocated.  If the allocation for the file struct
fails, then the system call must return an error, but the directory entry
was already created and can not be safely removed.

The solution to this situation is relatively easy.  The file struct should
be allocated before the directory entry is created.  If the allocation
fails, then the error can be returned directly.  If the creation of the
directory entry fails, then the file struct can be easily freed.

6a00cbfcf8 [PATCH] ppc32: discard *.exit.text and *.exit.data sections
Discard *.exit.text sections on runtime.  We cannot do this on link time
because of the way BUG macros are implemented.  If "__exit function" calls
one of those macros, __bug_table section will reference this function.
This is similar to ".altinstructions" situation on i386.

*.exit.data seems to be OK in this respect and is discarded on link
time.

299cc3c166 Fix up more strange byte writes to the PCI_ROM_ADDRESS config word
It's a dword thing, and the value we write is a dword.  Doing a byte
write to it is nonsensical, and writes only the low byte, which only
contains the enable bit.  So we enable a nonsensical address (usually
zero), which causes the controller no end of problems.

Trivial fix, but nasty to find.

e21ce8c7c0 [NETROM]: Implement G8PZT Circuit reset for NET/ROM
NET/ROM is lacking a connection reset like TCP's RST flag which at times
may result in a connecting having to slowly timing out instead of just being
reset.  An earlier attempt to reset the connection by sending a
NR_CONNACK | NR_CHOKE_FLAG transport was inacceptable as it did result in
crashes of BPQ systems.  An alternative approach of introducing a new
transport type 7 (NR_RESET) has be implemented several years ago in
Paula Jayne Dowie G8PZT's Xrouter.

Implement NR_RESET for Linux's NET/ROM but like any messing with the state
engine consider this experimental for now and thus control it by a sysctl
(net.netrom.reset) which for the time being defaults to off.
