2005-09-12[WATCHDOG] w83977f-watchdog-driver.patchJose Miguel Goncalves
In a project for my company I've needed to use the watchdog device in a PCM-5335 SBC from AAEON. The watchdog timer is from a Winbond's SuperIO chip, the W83977F. I've made this driver based on two others already on the kernel tree, the w83877f_wdt and the wdt977.

2005-09-11[WATCHDOG] i6300esb.patchDavid Hardeman
I wrote earlier to the list[1] asking for a driver for the watchdog included in the 6300ESB chipset. I got a 2.4 driver via private email from Ross Biro which I've changed into what I hope resembles a 2.6 driver (which was done by looking a lot at the watchdog drivers already in the 2.6 tree). I've attached the result, and I'm hoping to get some feedback on the coding as a first step. I can't actually test it on the hardware right now as I won't have physical access until April. So my own tests have been limited to "compiles-without-warnings" and "can-be-insmodded-in-other-machine-without-oops".

This patch does a full cleanup of 'NULL checks before vfree', and a partial cleanup of calls to kfree for all of drivers/ - the kfree bit is partial in that I only did the files that also had vfree calls in them.

2005-09-09[PATCH] console: Fix buffer copy on vc resizeAntonino A. Daplas
On a vc resize, the contents of the old screen buffer are transferred to the new screenbuffer. If the new screenbuffer is smaller than the old one, only the contents from the bottom are copied to new. If the contents of the old buffer are located at the top, then the contents will not be copied to the new buffer resulting in a blank screen. This bug will happen only if the vc in question is not in the foreground. Doing an fbset -a or con2fbmap will trigger this bug. To fix this problem, base the start of the copy from the location of the current cursor. If the cursor is near the top of the buffer, copy the contents at the top, and if the cursor is near the bottom of the buffer, then copy the contents at the bottom. In the unlikely case where the new row size is greater than 2x smaller than the old one, and the cursor is in the middle, copy 1/2 screenful from the top and bottom of the cursor position.

2005-09-09[PATCH] files: break up files structDipankar Sarma
In order for the RCU to work, the file table array, sets and their sizes must be updated atomically. Instead of ensuring this through too many memory barriers, we put the arrays and their sizes in a separate structure. This patch takes the first step of putting the file table elements in a separate structure fdtable that is embedded withing files_struct. It also changes all the users to refer to the file table using files_fdtable() macro. Subsequent applciation of RCU becomes easier after this.

2005-09-09[PATCH] pty_chars_in_buffer oops fixJason Baron
The idea of this patch is to lock both sides of a ptmx/pty pair during line discipline changing. This is needed to ensure that say a poll on one side of the pty doesn't occur while the line discipline is actively being changed. This resulted in an oops reported on lkml, see: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=111342171410005&w=2 A 'hacky' approach was previously implmemented which served to eliminate the poll vs. line discipline changing race. However, this patch takes a more general approach to the issue. The patch only adds locking on a less often used path, the line-discipline changing path, as opposed to locking the ptmx/pty pair on read/write/poll paths. The patch below, takes both ldisc locks in either order b/c the locks are both taken under the same spinlock(). I thought about locking the ptmx/pty separately, such as master always first but that introduces a 3 way deadlock. For example, process 1 does a blocking read on the slave side. Then, process 2 does an ldisc change on the slave side, which acquires the master ldisc lock but not the slave's. Finally, process 3 does a write which blocks on the process 2's ldisc reference. This patch does introduce some changes in semantics. For example, a line discipline change on side 'a' of a ptmx/pty pair, will now wait for a read/write to complete on the other side, or side 'b'. The current behavior is to simply wait for any read/writes on only side 'a', not both sides 'a' and 'b'. I think this behavior makes sense, but I wanted to point it out. I've tested the patch with a bunch of read/write/poll while changing the line discipline out from underneath. This patch obviates the need for the above "hide the problem" patch.

The IPMI power control function proc_write_chassctrl was badly written, it directly used userspace pointers, it assumed that strings were NULL terminated, and it used the evil sscanf function.
