This patch converts the inode semaphore to a mutex. I have tested it on
XFS and compiled as much as one can consider on an ia64. Anyway your
luck with it might be different.

<title>[PATCH] shrink dentry struct</title>

<content type='text'>
Some long time ago, dentry struct was carefully tuned so that on 32 bits
UP, sizeof(struct dentry) was exactly 128, ie a power of 2, and a multiple
of memory cache lines.

Then RCU was added and dentry struct enlarged by two pointers, with nice
results for SMP, but not so good on UP, because breaking the above tuning
(128 + 8 = 136 bytes)

This patch reverts this unwanted side effect, by using an union (d_u),
where d_rcu and d_child are placed so that these two fields can share their
memory needs.

At the time d_free() is called (and d_rcu is really used), d_child is known
to be empty and not touched by the dentry freeing.

Lockless lookups only access d_name, d_parent, d_lock, d_op, d_flags (so
the previous content of d_child is not needed if said dentry was unhashed
but still accessed by a CPU because of RCU constraints)

As dentry cache easily contains millions of entries, a size reduction is
worth the extra complexity of the ugly C union.

Leave the overloaded "hotplug" word to susbsystems which are handling
real devices. The driver core does not "plug" anything, it just exports
the state to userspace and generates events.

<title>[PATCH] USB: replace __setup("nousb") with __module_param_call</title>

Fedora users complain that passing "nousbstorage" to the installer causes
the rest of the USB support to disappear. The installer uses kernel command
line as a way to pass options through Syslinux. The problem stems from the
use of strncmp() in obsolete_checksetup().

I used __module_param_call() instead of module_param because I wanted to
preserve the old syntax in grub.conf, and it's the only macro which allows
to remove the prefix.

The fix is tested to accept the option "nousb" correctly now.
