[PATCH 3/3] cciss: add put_disk into cleanup routines

2005-11-18T21:05:36Z

Jeff Garzik pointed me to his code to see how to remove a disk from the system _properly_. Well, here it is... Every place we remove disks we are now testing before calling del_gendisk or blk_cleanup_queue and then call put_disk. Signed-off-by: Mike Miller Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

[PATCH 2/3] cciss: bug fix for BIG_PASS_THRU

2005-11-18T21:02:44Z

Applications using CCISS_BIG_PASSTHRU complained that the data written was zeros. The problem is that the buffer is being cleared after the user copy, unless the user copy has failed... Correct that logic. Signed-off-by: Mike Miller Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

[PATCH] packet writing oops fix

2005-11-14T02:14:11Z

There is an old bug in the pkt_count_states() function that causes stack corruption. When compiling with gcc 3.x or 2.x it is harmless, but gcc 4 allocates local variables differently, which makes the bug visible.

[PATCH] add a file_permission helper

2005-11-09T15:55:59Z

A few more callers of permission() just want to check for a different access pattern on an already open file. This patch adds a wrapper for permission() that takes a file in preparation of per-mount read-only support and to clean up the callers a little. The helper is not intended for new code, everything without the interface set in stone should use vfs_permission() Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] drivers/block/pktcdvd.c: remove write-only variable in pkt_iosched_process_queue()

2005-11-09T15:55:58Z

Found this on Coverty's linux bug database (http://linuxbugsdb.coverity.com). The function pkt_iosched_process_queue makes a call to bdev_get_queue and stores the result but never uses it, so it looks like it can be safely removed. Signed-off-by: Gabriel A.

[PATCH] changing CONFIG_LOCALVERSION rebuilds too much, for no good reason

2005-11-09T15:55:57Z

This patch removes almost all inclusions of linux/version.h. The 3 #defines are unused in most of the touched files. A few drivers use the simple KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) macro, which is unfortunatly in linux/version.h. There are also lots of #ifdef for long obsolete kernels, this was not touched. In a few places, the linux/version.h include was move to where the LINUX_VERSION_CODE was used. quilt vi `find * -type f -name "*.[ch]"|xargs grep -El '(UTS_RELEASE|LINUX_VERSION_CODE|KERNEL_VERSION|linux/version.h)'|grep -Ev '(/(boot|coda|drm)/|~$)'` search pattern: /UTS_RELEASE\|LINUX_VERSION_CODE\|KERNEL_VERSION\|linux\/$utsname\|version$.h Signed-off-by: Olaf Hering Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
