[PATCH] spin longer for ehci port reset completion
This makes the EHCI driver spin a bit longer before concluding that the
port reset failed. "Obviously safe."
It allows some devices to enumerate that previously didn't. We've seen
a bunch of these problem reports recently, this will make some go away.
As reported by Michael Zapf <Michael.Zapf@uni-kassel.de>, some EHCI
controllers seem to take forever to finish port resets and produce
"port N reset error -110" type errors. Spinning a bit longer helps.

The ARM generic Kconfig filters out IDE options ... except for

This adds one general case to the systems that will offer IDE options:
kernels with PCMCIA support, which probably want to use IDE to access
CompactFlash cards. This might allow many (most?) of the other cases
to disappear, for systems that only see IDE hardware through CF cards.

[PATCH] remove bogus hack from radeon IRQ handler
This removes a bogus hack from the radeon IRQ handler.
There is a better fix from myself and benh in DRM CVS but I'll wait
until 2.6.13-rc so it gets more testing.
Despite all the care lately in making the powermac sleep/wakeup as
robust as possible, there is still a nasty related to the use of cpufreq
on PMU based machines. Unfortunately, it affects paulus old powerbook
so I have to fix it :)
We didn't manage to understand what is precisely going on, it leads to
memory corruption and might have to do with RAM not beeing properly
refreshed when a cpufreq transition is done right before the sleep.
The best workaround (and less intrusive at this point) we could come up
with is included in this patch. We basically do _not_ force a switch to
high speed on suspend anymore (that is what is causing the problem) on
those machines. We still force a speed switch on wakeup (since we don't
know what speed we are coming back from sleep at, and that seems to work
fine).
Since, during this short interval, the actual CPU speed might be
incorrect, we also hack around by multiplying loops_per_jiffy by 2 (max
speed factor on those machines) during early wakeup stage to make sure
udelay's during that time aren't too short.
For after 2.6.12, we'll change udelay implementation to use the CPU
timebase (which is always constant) instead like we do on ppc64 and thus
get rid of all those problems.

[PATCH] iseries_veth: Supress spurious WARN_ON() at module unload
My patch from a few weeks back (now in mainline), called "Cleanup skbs to
prevent unregister_netdevice() hanging", can cause our TX timeout code to
fire on machines with lots of VLANs (because it takes > 2 seconds between
when we stop the queues and when we're finished stopping the connections).
When that happens the TX timeout code freaks out and does a WARN_ON()
because as far as it's concerned there shouldn't be a TX timeout happening,
which is fair enough.
I have a "proper" fix for this, which is to a) do refcounting on
connections and b) implement a proper ack timer so we don't keep unacked
skbs lying around for ever. But for 2.6.12 I propose just supressing the
WARN_ON(). Users will still see the "NETDEV WATCHDOG" warning, but that's
not nearly as bad as a WARN_ON() which users interpret as an Oops.

[PATCH] USB: ftdi_sio: avoid losing received data in tty-ldisc
ftdi_sio: Avoid losing bytes at tty-ldisc.
This patch was originally developed by Daniel Smertnig. I
(Ian Abbott) made a few changes. It has been tested by both
Daniel and I, at least for raw, non-canonical receive data
processing.
Here is Daniel's original description of the patch:
===
During a project in which I was using a FTDI 232BM to
transmit data at relative high speeds (625kBit/s), I
noticed a problem where data was lost even if flow
control was enabled: The FTDI-Driver receives 512 Bytes
of data over USB at a time, which consists of 8 64-Byte
packets. Subtracting the 2 bytes of status information
included in each packet this gives 496 "real" data
bytes per read.
This data is passed (indirectly, via the flip buffers)
to the tty line discipline which takes care of
throttling when there the free buffer space reaches
TTY_THRESHOLD_THROTTLE (128). Because the FTDI driver
processes up to 496 bytes at a time, throttling won't
happen in time and the line discipline will discard the
remaining bytes.
To avoid this the patch passes data in 62-byte blocks
to the tty layer and checks the available space in the
ldisc-buffers. If there isn't enough free space,
processing the rest of the data is delayed using a
workqueue.
Note: The original problem should be easily
reproducible with a userspace program which does slow &
small reads.

c) in __link_path_walk() we have another "it should never happen" sloppiness -
out_dput: there does double-free on underlying vfsmount and leaks the covering
one if we hit it just after crossing a mountpoint. Again, wrong vfsmount
getting dropped.
d) another too-early-mntput() race - in do_follow_mount() we need to postpone
conditional mntput(path->mnt) until after dput(path->dentry). Again, this one
happens only in it-currently-never-happens-unless-some-fs-plays-dirty
scenario...
