[PATCH] smaps: shared fix
The point of the smaps "shared" is to count the number of pages that are
mapped by more than one process, according to Mauricio Lin. However, smaps
uses page_count for this, so it will return a false positive for every page
that is mapped by just that one process, which is also in pagecache or
swapcache. There are false positive situations for anonymous pages not in
swapcache as well: - page reclaim, migration - get_user_pages (eg.
direct-io, ptrace)
Use page_mapcount instead, to count the number of mappings to the page.
Use vm_normal_page so that weird things like /dev/mem aren't counted either.

Change the format of numa_maps to be more compact and contain additional
information that is useful for managing and troubleshooting memory on a
NUMA system. Numa_maps can now also support huge pages.
Fixes:
1. More compact format. Only display fields if they contain additional
information.
2. Always display information for all vmas. The old numa_maps did not display
vma with no mapped entries. This was a bit confusing because page
migration removes ptes for file backed vmas. After page migration
a part of the vmas vanished.
3. Rename maxref to maxmap. This is the maximum mapcount of all the pages
in a vma and may be used as an indicator as to how many processes
may be using a certain vma.
4. Include the ability to scan over huge page vmas.
New items shown:
dirty
Number of pages in a vma that have either the dirty bit set in the
page_struct or in the pte.
file=<filename>
The file backing the pages if any
stack
Stack area
heap
Heap area
huge

the server would have to timeout the notification. Oplock break timeout is
about 20 seconds on some servers so this could cause significantly slower

[PATCH] drivers/mtd/redboot.c: recognise a foreign byte sex partition table
The RedBoot boot loader writes flash partition tables containing native
byte sex 32 bit values. When booting an opposite byte sex kernel (e.g. an
LE kernel from BE RedBoot) the current MTD driver fails to handle the
partition table and therefore is unable to generate the correct partition
map for the flash.
So far as I am aware this problem is ARM specific, because only ARM
supports software change of the CPU (memory system) byte sex, however the
partition table parsing is in generic MTD code. The patch below has been
tested on NSLU2 (an IXP4XX based system) with a patch,
10-ixp4xx-copy-from.patch (submitted to linux-arm-kernel - it's ARM
specific) required to make the maps/ixp4xx.c driver work with an LE kernel.
Builds of the patched system are in the 'unstable' release of OpenSlug and
UcSlugC available from www.nslu2-linux.org. These builds are BE, the
archives at www.nslu2-linux.org and www.handhelds.org (see
monotone.vanille.de) can be built LE (currently DISTRO targets
nslu-ltu.conf for LE thumb uclibc (32 bit kernel) and nslu2-lau.conf,
nslu2-lag.conf for LE arm uclibc/glibc) and this patch has been tested
extensively will both BE and LE systems on the NSLU2 (including swapping
between BE and LE by reflashing from both RedBoot and Linux).
The patch recognises that the FIS directory (the partition table) is
byte-reversed by examining the partition table size, which is known to be
one erase block (this is an assumption made elsewhere in redboot.c). If
the size matches the erase block after byte swapping the value then
byte-reversal is assumed, if not no further action is taken. The patched
code is fail safe; should redboot.c be changed to support a partition table
with a modified size field the test will fail and the partition table will
be assumed to have the host byte sex.
If byte-reversal is detected the patch byte swaps the remainder of the 32
bit fields in the copy of the table; this copy is then used to set up the
MTD partition map.

[PATCH] x86 microcode driver vs hotplug CPUs.
This driver loops over 'num_online_cpus', but it doesn't account for holes
in the online map created by offlined cpus, and assumes that the cpu
numbers stay linear.

[PATCH] e1000: revert to single descriptor for legacy receive path
A recent patch attempted to enable more efficient memory usage by using
only 2kB descriptors for jumbo frames. The method used to implement this
has since been commented upon as "illegal" and in recent kernels even
causes a BUG when receiving ip fragments while using jumbo frames.
This patch simply goes back to the way things were. We expect some
complaints due to order 3 allocations failing to come back due to this
change.

[PATCH] USB: ftdi_sio: new microHAM device IDs
This patch adds a bunch of new device IDs to the ftdi_sio driver for
various devices from microHAM using FTDI chips.
Micheal Studer supplied the PID for the USB-Y9 device. I examined the
INF file in microHAM's Windows driver package for the USB-KW, USB-YS,
USB-IC, USB-DB9 and USB-RS232 devices.

Remote NDIS response to OID_GEN_SUPPORTED_LIST only allocated space
for the data attached to the reply, and not the reply structure
itself. This caused other kmalloc'd memory to be corrupted.
