0dca51d362 [PKT_SCHED] netem: allow random reordering (with fix)
Here is a fixed up version of the reorder feature of netem.
It is the same as the earlier patch plus with the bugfix from Julio merged in.
Has expected backwards compatibility behaviour.

Go ahead and merge this one, the TCP strangeness I was seeing was due
to the reordering bug, and previous version of TSO patch.

10f02d1c59 [PATCH] spin_unlock_bh() and preempt_check_resched()
In _spin_unlock_bh(lock):
	do { \
		_raw_spin_unlock(lock); \
		preempt_enable(); \
		local_bh_enable(); \
		__release(lock); \
	} while (0)

there is no reason for using preempt_enable() instead of a simple
preempt_enable_no_resched()

Since we know bottom halves are disabled, preempt_schedule() will always
return at once (preempt_count!=0), and hence preempt_check_resched() is
useless here...

This fixes it by using "preempt_enable_no_resched()" instead of the
"preempt_enable()", and thus avoids the useless preempt_check_resched()
just before re-enabling bottom halves.

0b405a0f7e [PATCH] Driver Core: remove driver model detach_state
The driver model has a "detach_state" mechanism that:

 - Has never been used by any in-kernel drive;
 - Is superfluous, since driver remove() methods can do the same thing;
 - Became buggy when the suspend() parameter changed semantics and type;
 - Could self-deadlock when called from certain suspend contexts;
 - Is effectively wasted documentation, object code, and headspace.

This removes that "detach_state" mechanism; net code shrink, as well
as a per-device saving in the driver model and sysfs.

5b76ffd5d9 [PATCH] DAC960: add support for Mylex AcceleRAID 4/5/600
This patch adds support for a new class of DAC960 controllers.  It's based
on the GPLed idac320 driver from IBM for Linux 2.4.18.  That driver is a
fork of the 2.4.18 version of DAC960 that adds support for this new type of
controllers (internally called "GEM Series"), that differ from other DAC960
V2 firmware controllers only in the register offsets and removes support
for all others.

This patch instead integrates support for these controllers into the DAC960
driver.

Thanks to Anders Norrbring for pointing me to the idac320 driver and
testing this patch.

No Signed-Off: line because all code is either copy & pasted from IBM's
idac320 driver or support for other controllers in the 2.6 DAC960 driver.

Note: the really odd formating matches the rest of the DAC960 driver.

size for per family entries is calculated one entry short and b) given the
new family registers all commands RTM_MAX would point to the first entry
of the block following this one and the rtnetlink receive path would accept
a message type for a nonexisting family.

4dc3b16ba1 [PATCH] DocBook: changes and extensions to the kernel documentation
I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our
university students again.  The documentation could be extended for more
sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels.  I
have tried to proceed with that task.  I have done that more times from 2.6.0
time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again.  Linux kernel
compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets.  I have added references to
some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well.
 So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are
not too much skewed.

I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved
by kernel convention.  Most of the other changes are modifications in the
comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do
not bail out on errors.  Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some
#ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc.

You can see result of the modified documentation build at
  http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz

Some more sources are ready to be included into kernel-doc generated
documentation.  Sources has been added into kernel-api for now.  Some more
section names added and probably some more chaos introduced as result of quick
cleanup work.

f8e08a8466 [PATCH] reiserfs endianness: sanitize reiserfs_key union
Since we only access reiserfs_key ->u.k_offset_v2 guts in four helper
functions, we are free to sanitize those, as long as

- layout of the structure is unchanged (it's on-disk object)

- behaviour of these helpers is same as before.

Patch kills the mess with endianness-dependent bitfields and replaces them
with a single __le64.  Helpers are switched to straightforward shift/and/or.

Benefits:

- exact same definitions for little- and big-endian architectures; no ifdefs
  in sight.

- generate the same code on little-endian and improved on big-endian.

- doesn't rely on lousy bitfields handling in gcc codegenerator.

- happens to be standard C (unsigned long long is not a valid type for a
  bitfield; it's a gccism and not well-implemented one, at that).

pointer to in_core_key (or any object containing such) would be cast to or

in_core_key - nothing depends on it anymore.

So we drop the mess with union in there and simply use (unconditional) __u64
k_offset and __u8 k_type instead; places using in_core_key switched to those.
That gives _far_ better code than current mess - on all platforms.

Basically, we get annotation of reiserfs_key users and keep the resulting tree
obviously equivalent to original.

e5bdd883a1 [PATCH] new valid_signal() function
This patch adds a new function valid_signal() that tests if its argument is
a valid signal number.

The reasons for adding this new function are:

- some code currently testing _NSIG directly has off-by-one errors.
  Using this function instead avoids such errors.

- some code currently tests unsigned signal numbers for <0 which is
  pointless and generates warnings when building with gcc -W.  Using this
  function instead avoids such warnings.

I considered various places to add this function but eventually settled on
include/linux/signal.h as the most logical place for it.  If there's some
reason this is a bad choice then please let me know (hints as to a better
location are then welcome of course).
