  • As it is, all instances of ->release() for files that have ->fasync()
    need to remember to evict file from fasync lists; forgetting that
    creates a hole and we actually have a bunch that *does* forget.

    So let's keep our lives simple - let __fput() check FASYNC in
    file->f_flags and call ->fasync() there if it's been set. And lose that
    crap in ->release() instances - leaving it there is still valid, but we
    don't have to bother anymore.

  • The phone_device array is covered by the phone_lock mutex in all cases and
    request_module no longer needs the BKL so we can remove the only remaining
    instance of the BKL from phonedev.

  • Remove the following redundant and never or rarely used kconfig syntax:

    - "def_boolean" (same as "def_bool")
    - "requires" (same as "depends on")
    - "depends" (same as "depends on")

    This patch contains the code changes and Kconfig updates.
    The shipped files are in next patch to let actual codechange stand out.

  • After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
    recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
    There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
    anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
    macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
    course of cleaning it up.

    To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
    removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

    Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
    arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
    allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
    configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were
    introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
    by unnecessarily included header files).

  • As we read out the product information strings (VERS_1) from the PCMCIA device
    in the PCMCIA core, and device drivers can access those reliably in struct
    pcmcia_device's fields prod_id[], remove additional product information string
    detection logic from PCMCIA device drivers.
