[PATCH] Remove __devinit and __cpuinit from notifier_call definitions
Few of the notifier_chain_register() callers use __init in the definition
of notifier_call. It is incorrect as the function definition should be
available after the initializations (they do not unregister them during
initializations).
This patch fixes all such usages to _not_ have the notifier_call __init

[PATCH] Remove __devinitdata from notifier block definitions
Few of the notifier_chain_register() callers use __devinitdata in the

[fuse] fix race between checking and setting file->private_data
BKL does not protect against races if the task may sleep between
checking and setting a value. So move checking of file->private_data
near to setting it in fuse_fill_super().
[fuse] fix deadlock between fuse_put_super() and request_end(), try #2
A deadlock was possible, when the last reference to the superblock was
held due to a background request containing a file reference.
Releasing the file would release the vfsmount which in turn would
release the superblock. Since sbput_sem is held during the fput() and
fuse_put_super() tries to acquire this same semaphore, a deadlock
results.
The solution is to move the fput() outside the region protected by
sbput_sem.
It was wrong, because it didn't take into account the requirement,
that iput() for background requests must be performed synchronously
with ->put_super(), otherwise active inodes may remain after unmount.
The right solution is to keep the sbput_sem and perform iput() within
the locked region, but move fput() outside sbput_sem.

[PATCH] add migratepage address space op to shmem
Basic problem: pages of a shared memory segment can only be migrated once.
In 2.6.16 through 2.6.17-rc1, shared memory mappings do not have a
migratepage address space op. Therefore, migrate_pages() falls back to
default processing. In this path, it will try to pageout() dirty pages.
Once a shared memory page has been migrated it becomes dirty, so
migrate_pages() will try to page it out. However, because the page count
is 3 [cache + current + pte], pageout() will return PAGE_KEEP because
is_page_cache_freeable() returns false. This will abort all subsequent
migrations.
This patch adds a migratepage address space op to shared memory segments to
avoid taking the default path. We use the "migrate_page()" function
because it knows how to migrate dirty pages. This allows shared memory
segment pages to migrate, subject to other conditions such as # pte's
referencing the page [page_mapcount(page)], when requested.
I think this is safe. If we're migrating a shared memory page, then we
found the page via a page table, so it must be in memory.

[PATCH] x86_64: sparsemem does not need node_mem_map
Seems we are trying to init the node_mem_map when we don't need to, for
example when SPARSEMEM is enabled. This causes the error below during
compilation. Use CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP to gate allocation and init.
arch/x86_64/mm/numa.c: In function `setup_node_zones':
arch/x86_64/mm/numa.c:191: error: structure has no member
named `node_mem_map'

[PATCH] isdn4linux: Siemens Gigaset base driver: fix disconnect handling
Fix a possible Oops in the Siemens Gigaset base driver when the device is
unplugged while an ISDN connection is still active, and makes sure that the
isdn4linux link level (LL) is properly informed if a connection is broken
by the USB cable being unplugged.
- Avoid unsafe checks of URB status fields outside the URB completion
handlers, keep track of in-use URBs myself instead.
- If an isochronous transfer URB completes with status==0, also check the
status of the frame descriptors.
- Verify length of interrupt messages received from the device.
- Align the length limit on transmitted AT commands with the device
documentation.
- In case of AT response receive overrun, keep newly arrived instead of old
unread data.
- Remove redundant check of device ID in the USB probe function.
- Correct and improve some comments and formatting.

[CIFS] Use the kthread_ API instead of opencoding lots of hairy code for kernel
thread creation and teardown.
It does not move the cifsd thread handling to kthread due to problems
found in testing with wakeup of threads blocked in the socket peek api,
but the other cifs kernel threads now use kthread.
Also cleanup cifs_init to properly unwind when thread creation fails.

[PATCH] pcmcia/pcmcia_resource.c: fix crash when using Cardbus cards
Using the old ioctl interface together with cardbus card gives a NULL
pointer dereference since cardbus devices don't have a struct pcmcia_device.
also s->io[0].res can be NULL as well.
Fix is to move the pcmcia code after the cardbus code and to check for a null
pointer.

[PATCH] pcmcia: do not set dev_node to NULL too early
If we set dev_node to NULL too early, some drivers which used this to
determine whether unregister_netdev() needs to be called fail when removing
a PCMCIA card.
