2007-01-30[PATCH] `make help' in build tree doesn't show headers_* targetsGeert Uytterhoeven
`make help' in the build tree doesn't show the help texts about the `headers_install' and `headers_check' targets because it looks for include/asm-$(ARCH)/Kbuild in the wrong place. Add the missing `$(srctree)' prefixes to fix this. Also move the printing of the default install path for the headers inside the `if/fi', where it belongs.

2007-01-30[PATCH] ufs: truncate negative to unsigned fixEvgeniy Dushistov
During ufs_trunc_direct which is subroutine of ufs::truncate, we try the first of all free parts of block and then whole blocks. But we calculate size of block's part to free in the wrong way. This may cause bad update of used blocks and fragments statistic, and you can got report that you have free 32T on 1Gb partition.

2007-01-30[PATCH] namespaces: fix exit race by splitting exitSerge E. Hallyn
Fix exit race by splitting the nsproxy putting into two pieces. First piece reduces the nsproxy refcount. If we dropped the last reference, then it puts the mnt_ns, and returns the nsproxy as a hint to the caller. Else it returns NULL. The second piece of exiting task namespaces sets tsk->nsproxy to NULL, and drops the references to other namespaces and frees the nsproxy only if an nsproxy was passed in. A little awkward and should probably be reworked, but hopefully it fixes the NFS oops. Signed-off-by: Serge E.

2007-01-30b44: Fix frequent link changesMichael Chan
This fixes the issue of frequent link changes under heavy traffic reported below: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7696 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=216338 The b44 chip occasionally needs to be reset when ISTAT_ERRORS are encountered. The reset sequence includes a PHY reset that will take many seconds to complete and cause the link to go down and up. By skipping the PHY reset, it will greatly reduce the interruption when ISTAT_ERRORS are encountered. Change the full_reset parameter to reset_kind parameter in b44_init_hw(). This will allow PHY reset to be skipped when ISTAT_ERRORS are encountered.

2007-01-30libata: fix translation for START STOP UNITRobert Hancock
libata's SCSI translation for the SCSI START STOP UNIT command with the START bit clear (i.e. stopping the drive) appears to be incorrect. It sends an ATA STANDBY command with the time period set to 0, which the code comment says means "now", but the ATA standard says this means disable the standby timer, which effectively does nothing. Change this to issue a STANDBY IMMEDIATE command which will actually spin the drive down. The SAT (SCSI/ATA Translation) standard revision 9 concurs with this choice.

2007-01-30HID: fix pb_fnmode and move it to generic HIDJiri Kosina
The apple powerbook people are used to switch the pb_fnmode setting at runtime through writing to sysfs, altering the module parameter value. This was broken for them in 2.6.20-rc1 when generic HID layer was introduced, as the pb_fnmode flag was made per-hiddevice, instead of global variable. This patch moves the pb_fnmode module parameter from usbhid module to hid module, but apart from that retains backward compatibility with respect to changing the mode through sysfs.

2007-01-29Fix balance_dirty_page() calculations with CONFIG_HIGHMEMLinus Torvalds
This makes balance_dirty_page() always base its calculations on the amount of non-highmem memory in the machine, rather than try to base it on total memory and then falling back on non-highmem memory if the mapping it was writing wasn't highmem capable. This not only fixes a situation where two different writers can have wildly different notions about what is a "balanced" dirty state, but it also means that people with highmem machines don't run into an OOM situation when regular memory fills up with dirty pages. We used to try to handle the latter case by scaling down the dirty_ratio if the machine had a lot of highmem pages in page_writeback_init(), but it wasn't aggressive enough for some situations, and since basing the dirty ratio on highmem memory was broken in the first place, let's just stop doing so. (A variation of this theme fixed Justin Piszcz's OOM problem when copying an 18GB file on a RAID setup).

2007-01-29[PATCH] ALSA: Fix sysfs breakageTakashi Iwai
The recent change for a new sysfs tree with card* object breaks the /sys/class/sound tree if CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is enabled. The device in each entry doesn't point the correct device object: /sys/class/sound ... |-- pcmC0D0c | |-- dev | |-- device -> ../../../class/sound/card0 | |-- pcm_class | |-- power | | `-- wakeup | |-- subsystem -> ../../../class/sound | `-- uevent Also, this change breaks some drivers (like sound/arm/*) referring card->dev directly to obtain the device object for memory handling. This patch reverts the semantics of card->dev to the former version, which points to a real device object. The card* object is stored in a new card->card_dev field, instead. The device parent is chosen either card->dev or card->card_dev according to CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED to keep the tree compatibility. Also, card* isn't created if CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is enabled. The reason of card* object is a root of all beloing devices, and it makes little sense if each sound device points to the real device object directly.
