The madvise() system call returns -EBADF for areas which does not map to
files, only for *behaviour* request MADV_WILLNEED.According to man pages, madvise returns :
EBADF - the map exists, but the area maps something that isn't a file.
Fixes bug 2995.

Add support for the MRi PCIDS1 dual port serial card. This card is a
little controversial since it is the subject of a PCI vendor/device ID
clash. (See
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0303.1/0516.html). I have
for now just used the hex ID 0x950a. The divisor was part calculated part
iterated, so may not be exactly correct (but works for me at all settings
between 300 - 115300 bps).Cc: Russell King

Fix bug identifued by Richard Purdie .
oprofile calls check_user_page_readable() from interrupt context, so we
deadlock over various VFS locks.But check_user_page_readable() doesn't imply either a read or a write of the
page's contents. Change __follow_page() so that check_user_page_readable()
can tell __follow_page() that we're not accessing the page's contents, and use
that info to avoid the troublesome lock-takings.Also, make follow_page() inline for the single callsite in memory.c to save a
bit of stack space.Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton

Oliver Paukstadt from our test department is testing the xip patches in
Linus' git-tree. He found a problem that shows when reading a file that
contains sparse blocks (holes) on a -o xip mounted ext2 filesystem: the
BUG_ON() in fs/ext2/xip.c:40 triggers where it should not. The problem was
introduced by a cleanup in my previous patch, this patch fixes it.Signed-off-by: Carsten Otte

This patch fixes a microcode lockup in my CD-ROM adapters when a blank CD
is inserted. However, do not try to burn CDs yet! I'm pretty sure that
trying it will end in coasters.- Fix a few cases where we were unable to resynchronize with replies
for previous commands. The main thing is to keep reading replies
in case of a stall. This is done with the new state CLRRS.
- Since I am forgetting the basic state machine already, document it.
- Move counter increments in the looping path in its own function.
- Fix a harmless buglet in case CSW read fails to submit: do not
override state.
- Implement the Alan Stern's idea for adaptive signature checking.Signed-off-by: Pete Zaitcev

This patch adds support for the Olitec ISDN PCI card in the hisax gazel
driver. The gazel driver supports this card, but wasn't aware of its PCI
ids. Users used to modify the PCI ids of a supported card in
include/linux/pci_ids.h and recompile their kernel to get this card
running, as said in most Howtos. This patch makes the hisax gazel driver
recognize the PCI ids of the Olitec ISDN PCI card.Signed-off-by: Olivier Blin

Adds a missing check for an error return code from scsi_sysfs_add_sdev.
This resolves entry #4863 in the OSDL bugzilla. Although in that bug
report the failure occurred because of a confusion over scanning vs.
rescanning, in general add_sdev can fail for a number of reasons (the
simplest being insufficient memory) and the caller should cope properly.Signed-off-by: Alan Stern

reiserfs_new_inode() can call iput() with the xattr lock held. This will
cause a deadlock to occur when reiserfs_delete_xattrs() is called to clean
up.The following patch releases the lock and reacquires it after the iput.
This is safe because interaction with xattrs is complete, and the relock is
just to balance out the release in the caller.The locking needs some reworking to be more sane, but that's more intrusive
and I was just looking to fix this bug.Signed-off-by: Jeff Mahoney
