82ffb67164 [SCSI] fusion core changes for SAS support
- various bits for SAS support from the LSI driver.
 - use the device private data for the fusion target private data.
   this should be using the midlayer target data framework, but we
   can't move over to that until fusion has been switched to the
   generic DV code
 - use target ID and channel from the fusion target private data,
   because those in scsi_device will be different for mptsas

997a51ae37 [PATCH] Alpha: ISA IRQs fixup for dp264
Basically, this extends original dp264 fixup to all dp264 variations.
Here is one minor change: mask out bits 4-7 of a value assigned by SRM,
because
- newer consoles report ISA IRQs with offset 0xe0;
- even if console IRQ value is bogus, we'll have a value < 16
  so it should be harmless as it won't clash with native IRQs.

Particularly this fixes USB interrupt problem on xp1000 and es40.

6577ae51cf [PATCH] IB/mthca: Don't try to set srq->last for userspace SRQs
Userspace SRQs don't have a buffer allocated for them in the kernel, so
it doesn't make sense to set srq->last during initialization.  In fact,
this can crash trying to follow a nonexistent buffer pointer.

3ed7a4704b [SCSI] Fix thread termination for the SCSI error handle
From: 	Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>

This patch (as561) fixes the error handler's thread-exit code.  The
kthread_stop call won't wake the thread from a down_interruptible, so
the patch gets rid of the semaphore and simply does

        set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);

a64358db12 [SCSI] SCSI scanning and removal fixes
This patch (as545) fixes the list traversals in __scsi_remove_target and
scsi_forget_host.  In each case the existing code list_for_each_entry_safe
in an _unsafe_ manner, because the list was not protected from outside
modification while the iteration was running.

The new scsi_forget_host routine takes the moderately controversial step
of iterating over devices for removal rather than iterating over targets.
This makes more sense to me because the current scheme treats targets as
second-class citizens, created and removed on demand, rather than as
objects corresponding to actual hardware.  (Also I couldn't figure out any
safe way to iterate over the target list, since it's not so easy to tell
when a target has already been removed.)

e0a200894e [ARM] 2917/1: Make IXP4xx mach_desc's depend on config options
Patch from Deepak Saxena

Building a kernel for IXDP425 currently includes the machine descriptors
for IXDP465 and PRPMC1100 even if those machines are not configured.
This means we can build a kernel that boots on those machines even
though the machine_is_xxx() macro will always return 0 and other bits
such as PCI won't be compiled in. This can lead to many wasted hours
wondering what you have done to your kernel to make it randomly crash
thus requireing large quantities of beer to be consumed. While I am
all for consumption of large quantities of beer, there are better
reasons to do so then stupid kernel bugs.

e61c0e336f [PATCH] dell_rbu: enhancements and fixes
BUG fixes:

  The driver used to allocate memory with spinlock held which has been
  fixed in this patch.

  The driver was printing the entire buffer when it received a invalid
  entry in image_type.  The fix is to only print a warning message and not
  the buffer.

Usability enhancements:

  It is possible that due to user error the /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu
  entries might be missing, this can happen if the user does the following

	echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading
	echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading

  This will make the entries in /sys/class/firmware/ to disappear and the
  only way get them back was bby unloading and loading the driver.

  This patch makes the user recreate these entries by echoing init in to
  image_type.

2030c0fd3d [PATCH] PR_GET_DUMPABLE returns incorrect info
2.6.13 incorporated Alan Cox's patch for /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable (one
version of this patch can be found here
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=109647550421014&w=2 ).

This patch also made corresponding changes in kernel/sys.c to change the
prctl() PR_SET_DUMPABLE operation so that the permitted range of 'arg2' was
modified from 0..1 to 0..2.

However, a corresponding change was not made for PR_GET_DUMPABLE: if the
dumpable flag is non-zero, then PR_GET_DUMPABLE always returns 1, so that
the caller can't determine the true setting of this flag.
