2005-06-23[PATCH] Improve CD/DVD packet driver write performancePeter Osterlund
This patch improves write performance for the CD/DVD packet writing driver. The logic for switching between reading and writing has been changed so that streaming writes are no longer interrupted by read requests.

2005-06-23[PATCH] parport: NetMos nm9855 fixMartin Schitter
kernel 2.6.12-rc2 adopted some code by Bjorn Helgaas supporting NetMos combo controller cards. this implementation doesn't work for nm9855 based cards! there are two reasons: a) the module 'parport_pc' doesn't want to give the resonsibility for the netmos_9855 to 'parport_serial' and can not handle the serial lines -- trivial to fix... http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-parport/2005-February/000250.html http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/3/24/199 b) the support for the nm9855 in 'parport_serial' still doesn't work because of wrong assumptions about the relevant BARs port address layout for this chip: 0000:00:09.0 Communication controller: NetMos Technology PCI 9855 Multi-I/O Controller (rev 01) (= 9710:9855) Subsystem: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 1P4S (= 1000:0014) Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 177 I/O ports at a800 [size=8] (= parport) I/O ports at a400 [size=8] I/O ports at a000 [size=8] (= serial) I/O ports at 9800 [size=8] (= serial) I/O ports at 9400 [size=8] (= serial) I/O ports at 9000 [size=16] (= serial) the following patch will fix the problem.

2005-06-23[PATCH] remove duplicate get_dentry functions in various placesChristoph Hellwig
Various filesystem drivers have grown a get_dentry() function that's a duplicate of lookup_one_len, except that it doesn't take a maximum length argument and doesn't check for \0 or / in the passed in filename.

2005-06-23[PATCH] optimise loop driver a bitNick Piggin
Looks like locking can be optimised quite a lot. Increase lock widths slightly so lo_lock is taken fewer times per request. Also it was quite trivial to cover lo_pending with that lock, and remove the atomic requirement. This also makes memory ordering explicitly correct, which is nice (not that I particularly saw any mem ordering bugs). Test was reading 4 250MB files in parallel on ext2-on-tmpfs filesystem (1K block size, 4K page size).

2005-06-23[PATCH] create a kstrdup library functionPaulo Marques
This patch creates a new kstrdup library function and changes the "local" implementations in several places to use this function. Most of the changes come from the sound and net subsystems. The sound part had already been acknowledged by Takashi Iwai and the net part by David S. Miller.

2005-06-23[PATCH] blk: no memory barrierNick Piggin
This memory barrier is not needed because the waitqueue will only get waiters on it in the following situations: rq->count has exceeded the threshold - however all manipulations of ->count are performed under the runqueue lock, and so we will correctly pick up any waiter. Memory allocation for the request fails. In this case, there is no additional help provided by the memory barrier. We are guaranteed to eventually wake up waiters because the request allocation mempool guarantees that if the mem allocation for a request fails, there must be some requests in flight. They will wake up waiters when they are retired.

2005-06-23[PATCH] blk: remove blk_queue_tag->real_max_depth optimizationTejun Heo
blk_queue_tag->real_max_depth was used to optimize out unnecessary allocations/frees on tag resize. However, the whole thing was very broken - tag_map was never allocated to real_max_depth resulting in access beyond the end of the map, bits in [max_depth..real_max_depth] were set when initializing a map and copied when resizing resulting in pre-occupied tags. As the gain of the optimization is very small, well, almost nill, remove the whole thing.

With this patch, blk_queue_star_tag() doesn't need to fill remains of tag map with 1, thus allowing it to work properly with the next remove_real_max_depth patch.
