When you compile kernel on Sparc64 with heap memory checking and type
"cat /proc/iomem", you get a crash, because pointers in struct
resource are uninitialized.
Most code fills struct resource with zeros, so I assume that it is
responsibility of the caller of request_resource to initialized it,
not the responsibility of request_resource functuion.
After 2.6.29 is out, there could be a check for uninitialized fields
added to request_resource to avoid crashes like this.

In snd_free_sgbuf_pags(), vunmap() is called after releasing the SG
pages, and it causes errors on Xen as Xen manages the pages
differently. Although no significant errors have been reported on
the actual hardware, this order should be fixed other way round,
first vunmap() then free pages.

At the time of initialization, SNDRV_MIXER_OSS_PRESENT_PVOLUME bit is not
set for MIC (slot 7).
So, the same should not be checked when an application tries to do gain
control for audio recording devices.
Just check slot->present for SNDRV_MIXER_OSS_PRESENT_CVOLUME independently.
Verified with a simple application which opens /dev/dsp for recording and
/dev/mixer for volume control.

The "c-enter" USB to Toshiba 1.8" IDE enclosure needs special treatment
to work flawlessly. This patch is absolutely trivial, as the integrated
USB-IDE bridge is already identified to be an "unusual" device, only the
bcdDevice is different (lower) to the bcdDeviceMin already included in
the kernel.
It is a Prolific 2507 bridge.

This patch (as1225) fixes a bug in ehci-hcd. The condition for
whether unlinked QHs can become IDLE should not be that the controller
is halted, but rather that the controller isn't running. In other
words when the root hub is suspended, the hardware doesn't own any
QHs.
This fixes a problem that can show up during hibernation: If a QH is
only partially unlinked when the root hub is frozen, then when the
root hub is thawed the QH won't be in the IDLE state. As a result it
can't be used properly for new URB submissions.

ehci-hcd uses usb_get_urb() and usb_put_urb() in an unbalanced way causing
isochronous URB's kref.counts incrementing once per usb_submit_urb() call.
The culprit is *usb being set to NULL when usb_put_urb() is called after URB
is given back.
Due to other fixes there is no need for ehci-hcd to deal with usb_get_urb()
nor usb_put_urb() anymore, so patch removes their usages in ehci-hcd.
Patch also makes ehci_to_hcd(ehci)->self.bandwidth_allocated adjust, if a
stream finishes.

The usbfs driver manages a list of completed asynchronous URBs. But
it is too eager to free the entries on this list: destroy_async() gets
called whenever an interface is unbound or a device is removed, and it
deallocates the outstanding struct async entries for all URBs on that
interface or device. This is wrong; the user program should be able
to reap an URB any time after it has completed, regardless of whether
or not the interface is still bound or the device is still present.
This patch (as1222) moves the code for deallocating the completed list
entries from destroy_async() to usbdev_release(). The outstanding
entries won't be freed until the user program has closed the device
file, thereby eliminating any possibility that the remaining URBs
might still be reaped.
This fixes a bug in which a program can hang in the USBDEVFS_REAPURB
ioctl when the device is unplugged.

Since creating a device node is normally an operation requiring special

So, make sure CAP_MKNOD is among the capabilities dropped when an nfsd

Commit ee6f779b9e0851e2f7da292a9f58e0095edf615a ("filp->f_pos not
correctly updated in proc_task_readdir") changed the proc code to use
filp->f_pos directly, rather than through a temporary variable. In the
process, that caused the operations to be done on the full 64 bits, even
though the offset is never that big.
That's all fine and dandy per se, but for some unfathomable reason gcc
generates absolutely horrid code when using 64-bit values in switch()
statements. To the point of actually calling out to gcc helper
functions like __cmpdi2 rather than just doing the trivial comparisons
directly the way gcc does for normal compares. At which point we get
link failures, because we really don't want to support that kind of
crazy code.
Fix this by just casting the f_pos value to "unsigned long", which
is plenty big enough for /proc, and avoids the gcc code generation issue.

In order for ntpd to correctly synchronize the clocks, the frequency of
the system clock must not be off by more than 500 ppm (or, put another
way, 1:2000), or ntpd will end up giving up on trying to synchronize
properly, and ends up reseting the clock in jumps instead.
The fast TSC PIT calibration sometimes failed this test - it was
assuming that the PIT reads always took about one microsecond each (2us
for the two reads to get a 16-bit timer), and that calibrating TSC to
the PIT over 15ms should thus be sufficient to get much closer than
500ppm (max 2us error on both sides giving 4us over 15ms: a 270 ppm
error value).
However, that assumption does not always hold: apparently some hardware
is either very much slower at reading the PIT registers, or there was
other noise causing at least one machine to get 700+ ppm errors.
So instead of using a fixed 15ms timing loop, this changes the fast PIT
calibration to read the TSC delta over the individual PIT timer reads,
and use the result to calculate the error bars on the PIT read timing
properly. We then successfully calibrate the TSC only if the maximum
error bars fall below 500ppm.
In the process, we also relax the timing to allow up to 25ms for the
calibration, although it can happen much faster depending on hardware.
