  • Don't log machine check events left over from boot. Too many BIOSes leave
    bogus events in there.

    This unfortunately also makes it impossible to log events that caused a
    reboot. For people with non broken BIOS there is mce=bootlog

  • The patch which went in was correct, but not quite what I had in mind.
    Here is a patch to update that a little bit. Original patch is at:

  • no_overlay bttv parameter implemented to fix OOPS on some PCI chipsets
    (like some VIA) with these behaviors:

    1) If pci_quicks does identify the chip as having troubles to
    handle PCI2PCI transfers, no_overlay defaults to 1. The user may force
    it to 0, to reenable (not recommended).

    2) For newer chipsets not blacklisted, no_overlay=1 is provided as a
    workaround until PCI chipset included on /drivers/pci/quirks.c

    Thanks to Bodo Eggert

  • Improve the likelihood that someone submitting a patch will notify the
    MAN-PAGES maintainer.

    This is a follow-up to comments on the July 29 lkml email thread: "Broke nice
    range for RLIMIT NICE"

  • - Fixed some bttv card numbers.

    - BTTV and SAA7134 version numbers incremented to reflect changes.

    - pci_dma_supported() is called after pci_set_dma_mask() which
    already did check that for us. This patch removes the unneeded call to
    pci_dma_supported() at bttv-driver.c

    - Ensure a sufficient I2C bus idle time between 2 messages for
    saa7134-i2c.c

    - It is important to write at first to MO_GP3_IO for cx88-tvaudio.c

    - Use try_to_freeze() instead of refrigerator at msp3400.c

    - Recognizing the MFPE05-2 Tuner at tveeprom.c

    - Add new parameter to help identify radio chipsets at tuner module:
    show_i2c=1 will show 16 reading bytes from detected tuners.

    - BTTV does generate some Unimplemented IOCTL log at tuner module:
    0x40046d11(dir=1,tp=0x6d,nr=17,sz=4) means that it is sending
    MSP3400 calls to non-msp3400 tuners. Warning eliminated.
    VIDIOSAUDIO is also called, so debug messages updated. It is still
    requiring IOCTL implementation.

    - Added two more tuners.

    - Add support for the SVideo input on the GDI Black Gold.

  • inotify is intended to correct the deficiencies of dnotify, particularly
    its inability to scale and its terrible user interface:

    * dnotify requires the opening of one fd per each directory
    that you intend to watch. This quickly results in too many
    open files and pins removable media, preventing unmount.
    * dnotify is directory-based. You only learn about changes to
    directories. Sure, a change to a file in a directory affects
    the directory, but you are then forced to keep a cache of
    stat structures.
    * dnotify's interface to user-space is awful. Signals?

    inotify provides a more usable, simple, powerful solution to file change
    notification:

    * inotify's interface is a system call that returns a fd, not SIGIO.
    You get a single fd, which is select()-able.
    * inotify has an event that says "the filesystem that the item
    you were watching is on was unmounted."
    * inotify can watch directories or files.

    Inotify is currently used by Beagle (a desktop search infrastructure),
    Gamin (a FAM replacement), and other projects.

    See Documentation/filesystems/inotify.txt.
