2005-05-02[PATCH] ppc32: Workaround a cache flush issue on sleepBenjamin Herrenschmidt
We are experiencing a problem when flushing the CPU caches before sleep on some laptop models using the 750FX CPU rev 1.X. While I haven't been able to figure out a proper explanation for what's going on, I do have a workaround that seem to work reliably and allows those machine to sleep and wakeup properly again. I'll re-update that code if/when I ever find exactly what is happening with those CPU revisions.

2005-05-01[PATCH] DocBook: changes and extensions to the kernel documentationPavel Pisa
I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our university students again. The documentation could be extended for more sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels. I have tried to proceed with that task. I have done that more times from 2.6.0 time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again. Linux kernel compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets. I have added references to some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well. So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are not too much skewed. I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved by kernel convention. Most of the other changes are modifications in the comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do not bail out on errors. Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some #ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc. You can see result of the modified documentation build at http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz Some more sources are ready to be included into kernel-doc generated documentation. Sources has been added into kernel-api for now. Some more section names added and probably some more chaos introduced as result of quick cleanup work.

2005-05-01[PATCH] ext3: remove unnecessary race then retry in ext3_get_blockMingming Cao
The extra race-with-truncate-then-retry logic around ext3_get_block_handle(), which was inherited from ext2, becomes unecessary for ext3, since we have already obtained the ei->truncate_sem in ext3_get_block_handle() before calling ext3_alloc_branch(). The ei->truncate_sem is already there to block concurrent truncate and block allocation on the same inode. So the inode's indirect addressing tree won't be changed after we grab that semaphore. We could, after get the semaphore, re-verify the branch is up-to-date or not. If it has been changed, then get the updated branch. If we still need block allocation, we will have a safe version of the branch to work with in the ext3_find_goal()/ext3_splice_branch(). The code becomes more readable after remove those retry logic. The patch also clean up some gotos in ext3_get_block_handle() to make it more readable.

2005-05-01[PATCH] reiserfs endianness: sanitize reiserfs_key unionAl Viro
Since we only access reiserfs_key ->u.k_offset_v2 guts in four helper functions, we are free to sanitize those, as long as - layout of the structure is unchanged (it's on-disk object) - behaviour of these helpers is same as before. Patch kills the mess with endianness-dependent bitfields and replaces them with a single __le64. Helpers are switched to straightforward shift/and/or. Benefits: - exact same definitions for little- and big-endian architectures; no ifdefs in sight. - generate the same code on little-endian and improved on big-endian. - doesn't rely on lousy bitfields handling in gcc codegenerator. - happens to be standard C (unsigned long long is not a valid type for a bitfield; it's a gccism and not well-implemented one, at that).

2005-05-01[PATCH] reiserfs endianness: comp_short_keys() cleanupAl Viro
comp_short_keys() massaged into sane form, which kills the last place where pointer to in_core_key (or any object containing such) would be cast to or from something else. At that point we are free to change layout of in_core_key - nothing depends on it anymore. So we drop the mess with union in there and simply use (unconditional) __u64 k_offset and __u8 k_type instead; places using in_core_key switched to those. That gives _far_ better code than current mess - on all platforms.

This patch optimizes io_submit_one to call aio_run_iocb() directly if ctx->run_list is empty.

This patch removes superfluous kiocb member initialization in the AIO allocation and deallocation path.
