Linux v2.6.14-rc5

2005-10-20T06:23:05+00:00

The -rc4 release was supposed to be the last -rc, but here goes.  The
RCU fixes and the swiotlb changes need an -rc for final testing.

[PATCH] build fix for uml/amd64

2005-10-20T06:18:16+00:00

	Missing half of the [PATCH] uml: Fix sysrq-r support for skas mode
We need to remove these (UPT_[DEFG]S) from the read side as well as the
write one - otherwise it simply won't build.

[PATCH] scsi_error thread exits in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state.

2005-10-20T06:16:21+00:00

Found in the -rt patch set.  The scsi_error thread likely will be in the
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state upon exit.  This patch fixes this bug.

[PATCH] swiotlb: make sure initial DMA allocations really are in DMA memory

2005-10-20T06:11:33+00:00

This introduces a limit parameter to the core bootmem allocator; The new
parameter indicates that physical memory allocated by the bootmem
allocator should be within the requested limit.

We also introduce alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit, alloc_bootmem_node_limit,
alloc_bootmem_low_pages_node_limit apis, but alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit
is the only api used for swiotlb.

The existing alloc_bootmem_low_pages() api could instead have been
changed and made to pass right limit to the core allocator.  But that
would make the patch more intrusive for 2.6.14, as other arches use
alloc_bootmem_low_pages().  We may be done that post 2.6.14 as a
cleanup.

With this, swiotlb gets memory within 4G for both x86_64 and ia64
arches.

[PATCH] `unaligned access' in acpi get_root_bridge_busnr()

2005-10-20T06:04:31+00:00

In drivers/acpi/glue.c the address of an integer is cast to the address of
an unsigned long.  This breaks on systems where a long is larger than an
int --- for a start the int can be misaligned; for a second the assignment
through the pointer will overwrite part of the next variable.

[PATCH] fix MGA DRM regression before 2.6.14

2005-10-20T06:04:31+00:00

I've gotten a report on lkml, of a possible regression in the MGA DRM in
2.6.14-rc4 (since -rc1), I haven't been able to reproduce it here, but I've
figured out some possible issues in the mga code that were definitely
wrong, some of these are from DRM CVS, the main fix is the agp enable bit
on the old code path still used by everyone.....

[PATCH] Threads shouldn't inherit PF_NOFREEZE

2005-10-20T06:04:31+00:00

The PF_NOFREEZE process flag should not be inherited when a thread is
forked.  This patch (as585) removes the flag from the child.

This problem is starting to show up more and more as drivers turn to the
kthread API instead of using kernel_thread().  As a result, their kernel
threads are now children of the kthread worker instead of modprobe, and
they inherit the PF_NOFREEZE flag.  This can cause problems during system
suspend; the kernel threads are not getting frozen as they ought to be.

[PATCH] Export RCS_TAR_IGNORE for rpm targets

2005-10-20T06:04:30+00:00

The variable RCS_TAR_IGNORE is used in scripts/packaging/Makefile, but not
exported from the main Makefile, so it's never used.

This results in the rpm targets being very unhappy in quilted trees.
