2006-03-25[PATCH] BLK_DEV_INITRD: do not require BLK_DEV_RAM=yZdenek Pavlas
Initramfs initrd images do not need a ramdisk device, so remove this restriction in Kconfig. BLK_DEV_RAM=n saves about 13k on i386. Also without ramdisk device there's no need for "dry run", so initramfs unpacks much faster. People using cramfs, squashfs, or gzipped ext2/minix initrd images are probably smart enough not to turn off ramdisk support by accident.

2006-03-25[PATCH] adjust /dev/{kmem,mem,port} write handlersJan Beulich
The /dev/mem and /dev/kmem write handlers weren't fully POSIX compliant in that they wouldn't always force the file pointer to be updated when returning success status. The /dev/port write handler was inconsistent with the /dev/mem and /dev/kmem handlers in that when encountering a -EFAULT condition after already having written a number of items it would return -EFAULT rather than the number of bytes written.

2006-03-25[PATCH] amiga: fix driver_register() return handling, remove zorro_module_init()Bjorn Helgaas
Remove the assumption that driver_register() returns the number of devices bound to the driver. In fact, it returns zero for success or a negative error value. zorro_module_init() used the device count to automatically unregister and unload drivers that found no devices. That might have worked at one time, but has been broken for some time because zorro_register_driver() returned either a negative error or a positive count (never zero). So it could only unregister on failure, when it's not needed anyway. This functionality could be resurrected in individual drivers by counting devices in their .probe() methods.

When a request is aborted because of a signal, we currently stop the request via csh, but we do not wait for the interrupt of csh in any case. We free the request structure and therefore when the interrupt for the csh operation is presented, the request object is no longer valid and an invalid callback pointer is used. To fix this wait until the interrupt for csh arrives and until wait_event_interruptible() does not return -ERESTARTSYS.
