  • Next message: Frank Dekervel: "[PATCH] backing a little bit out of Rik v. riel's vm"

    This should fix the VM deadlocks (knock wood), and adds the infrastructure
    for better samba serving. And lots of small details...

    -----
     - pre1:
        - USB: OHCI controller unlink and bandwidth reclamation fixes
        - USB: storage update
        - sparc64: register window race. Non-deadlock rwlocks.
        - name clash in hamradio/pi2.c and hamradio/pt.c
        - epic100 credits, 8139too driver update, sr.c initcalls
        - acenic update
        - NFS sillyrename fixups
        - mktime(). Do it just once - not 16 times.
        - misc small fixes to random drivers by Tigran
        - IDE driver picks up master/slave relationships on its own.
        - truncate unmapped/uptodate case handled correctly
        - don't do notifier locking at low level: higher levels do (or
          should do) this already.
        - ACPI interpreter updates (and file renames - making this part big)
        - SysKonnect gigabit driver update
        - 3c59x driver update
        - pcmcia debounce logic. Ugh.
        - MM balancing (Rik Riel)
     - pre2:
        - "extern inline" -> "static inline". It doesn't matter right now,
          but it's proactive for future gcc versions.
        - various net drvr updates and fixes
        - more initcall updates
        - PPC updates (including PPC-related drivers etc)
        - disallow re-mounting same filesystem in same place multiple times.
          Too confusing. And /etc/mtab gets strange.
        - Riel VM update
        - sparc updates
        - PCI bridge scanning fix: assign numbers properly
        - network updates
        - scsi fixes
     - pre3:
        - uninitialized == zero. Remove extra initializers.
        - block_prepare_write and block_truncate_page: if the page is
          up-to-date, then so are the buffer heads inside it once they
          are mapped..
        - SCSI initialization - move over to the modular case. No more
          double initialization.
        - Sync up with Alans 2.2.x driver changes
        - networking updates (iipv6 works non-modular etc)
        - netfilter update
        - adfs correct dentry operations
        - ARM update (including ARM drivers)
        - acenic driver update
        - floppy: we'd better hold the io_request_lock when playing with "CURRENT".
        - NFS cache coherency across file locking fix
        - NFS over TCP - handle TCP socket writability right..
        - USB updates
     - pre4:
        - more USB updates
        - continued SCSI cleanup
     - pre5:
        - more drivers synced to Alan's 2.2.x changes
        - sis900 driver update
        - Andries: net device name allocation as in 2.2.x
        - pmac SCSI driver init update
        - ixj telephony driver fixes
        - _fput/__fput are no longer used.
        - more USB updates
        - codafs update
        - byteorder: use statement expressions instead of macros, to avoid argument re-use.
        - don't disallow Onstream ide-scsi devices
        - fix cardbus bridge resources..
        - Make SCSI initialization order be same as before.
     - pre6:
        - Add Camino chipset ID to eepro100 driver.
        - VM UP deadlock fix
        - codafs fixups
        - networking updates
        - USB uhci updates
        - makefile documentation update
        - emu10k stereo sound fix.
        - new PCI ids
        - more linux-2.2 driver sync-ups
        - VIA IDE driver bugfixes
        - update atp ISA net driver
        - file locking fixes
        - make the scsi-generic module work properly again.
        - careful memory ordering by Andrea..
        - alpha RTC year magic again..
        - broadcast I/O APIC interrupt MP-tables are legal..
        - samba 2.2 needs leases for efficient file sharing. They are kind
          of like file locks with async IO notification.
        - teach st.c about some SCSI tapes that really aren't SCSI tapes (OnStream)
        - TUN/TAP driver: use proper device number (misc device, minor=200).
