When md marks the superblock dirty before a write, it calls
generic_make_request (to write the superblock) from within
generic_make_request (to write the first dirty block), which could cause
problems later.
With this patch, the superblock write is always done by the helper thread, and
write request are delayed until that write completes.
Also, the locking around marking the array dirty and writing the superblock is
improved to avoid possible races.

md_enter_safemode checks if it is time to mark the md superblock as 'clean'.
i.e. if all writes have completed and a suitable delay has passed.
This is currently called from md_handle_safemode which in-turn is called
(almost) every time md_check_recovery is called, and from the end of
md_do_sync which causes the mddev->thread to run, which will always call
md_check_recovery as well.
So it doesn't need to be a separate function and fits quite well into
md_check_recovery.
The "almost" is because multipathd calls md_check_recovery but not
md_handle_safemode. This is OK because the code from md_enter_safemode is a
no-op if mddev->safemode == 0, which it always is for a multipathd (providing
we don't allow it to be set to 2 on a signal...)

Currently when going from vgacon to fbcon the VT screenbuffer are often
different sizes. In the case when they are different sizes a new VT
screenbuffer is allocated and the contents are copied into the new buffer.
Currently the amount copied from VGA text memory to the new screenbuf is
the size of the framebuffer console. If the framebuffer console new VT
screen buffer is greater than the VGA text memory size then we get some of
the VGA BIOS contents as well.
This patch will only allow you to copy up to the size of VGA text memory
now. The rest is filled with erase characters.

s1d13xxxfb_remove() is referenced from s1d13xxxfb_probe(), which is marked
__devinit(). So s1d13xxxfb_remove() cannot be marked __devexit.
Does this all make sense? Clearly the __devexit section will still be in
core when the __devinit code is run, if the driver was loaded as a module.
But I suppose that if the driver is statically linked, the __devexit section
might be dropped early in boot. Still, we wouldn't drop __devexit prior to
initcall completion, at which point the __devinit code has all been run
anyway.
verdict: this code was legal and made sense. Is this a generic problem, or an
arm-specific problem?

The current isofs treatment of hidden files is flawed in two ways. First,
it does not provide sufficient granularity; it hides both 'hidden' files
and 'associated' files (resource fork for Mac files). Second, the default
behavior to completely strip hidden files, while an admirable
implementation of the spec, is a poor choice given the real world use of
hidden files as a poor mans copy protection scheme for MSDOS and Windows
based systems. A longer description of this is available here:
http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0205.3/0267.html
This patch was originally built after a few private conversations with Alan
Cox; I shamefully failed to persist in seeing it go forward, I hope to make
amends now.
This patch introduces granularity by allowing explicit control for both
hidden and associated files. It also reverses the default so that by
default, hidden files are treated as regular files on the iso9660 file
system.
This allow Wine to process Windows CDs, including those that are hybrid
Mac/Windows CDs properly and completely, without our having to go muck up
peoples fstabs as we do now. (I have tested this with such a hybrid +
hidden CD and have verified that this patch works as claimed).

The bug in rock.c is that it's totally trusting of the contents of the
directories. If the directory says there's a continuation 10000 bytes into
this 4k block then we cheerily poke around in memory we don't own and oops.
So change rock_continue() to apply various sanity checks, at least ensuring
that the offset+length remain within the bounds for the header part of a
struct rock_ridge directory entry.
Note that the kernel can still overindex the buffer due to the variable size
of the rock-ridge directory entries. We cannot check that in rock_continue()
unless we go parse the directory entry's signature and work out its size.

For browsable autofs maps, a mount request that arrives at the same time an
expire is happening can fail to perform the needed mount.
This happens becuase the directory exists and so the revalidate succeeds when
we need it to fail so that lookup is called on the same dentry to do the
mount. Instead lookup is called on the next path component which should be
whithin the mount, but the parent isn't mounted.
The solution is to allow the revalidate to continue and perform the mount as
no directory creation (at mount time) is needed for browsable mount entries.

At the tail end of an expire it's possible for a process to enter
autofs4_wait, with a waitq type of NFY_NONE but find that the expire is
finished. In this cause autofs4_wait will try to create a new wait but not
notify the daemon leading to a hang. As the wait type is meant to delay mount
requests from revalidate or lookup during an expire and the expire is done all
we need to do is check if the dentry is a mountpoint. If it's not then we're
done.

This patch rewrites the handling of remote control events. Rather than making
them available from a special file in the ibmasmfs, now the events from the
RSA card get translated into kernel input events and injected into the input
subsystem. The driver now will generate two /dev/input/eventX nodes -- one
for the keyboard and one for the mouse. The mouse node generates absolute

The kernel takes a very long time to boot if the memory size is bigger then
32767 MB. The memory size is contained in a structure created by an sclp
call. The kernel accesses the field with a LH instrution which performs a
sign extension of a 16 bit word. In the case of a memory size with bit 2^15
set this results in a very large value and the memory detection just loops for
a long time. In addition if more then 64 GB are used on a 64 bit system the
memory size is read from an incorrect storage location.
Use zero-extention to read the 16 bit memory size and the correct offset to
read the 4 byte memory size on 64 bit.
