find_trylock_page() is an odd interface in that it doesn't take a reference
like the others. Now that XFS no longer uses it, and its last remaining
caller actually wants an elevated refcount, opencode that callsite and
schedule find_trylock_page() for removal.Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin

Add a field to the host_set called 'flags' (was host_set_flags changed
to suit Jeff)
Add a simplex_claimed field so we can remember who owns the DMA channel
Add a ->mode_filter() hook to allow drivers to filter modes
Add docs for mode_filter and set_mode
Filter according to simplex state
Filter cable in coreThis provides the needed framework to support all the mode rules found
in the PATA world. The simplex filter deals with 'to spec' simplex DMA
systems found in older chips. The cable filter avoids duplicating the
same rules in each chip driver with PATA. Finally the mode filter is
neccessary because drive/chip combinations have errata that forbid
certain modes with some drives or types of ATA object.Drive speed setup remains per channel for now and the filters now use
the framework Tejun put into place which cleans them up a lot from the
older libata-pata patches.Signed-off-by: Alan Cox

This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the
powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this,
board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a
macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened
device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine.We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of
_machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants. This commit also
changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at
_machine.Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

in the future.This changes the convention to "zero for success, or a negative error value,"
which matches pci_register_driver(), acpi_bus_register_driver(), and
platform_driver_register().Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas

We have a problem in a lot of emulated storage in that it takes a page from
get_user_pages() and does something likekmap_atomic(page)
modify page
kunmap_atomic(page)However, nothing has flushed the kernel cache view of the page before the
kunmap. We need a lightweight API to do this, so this new API would
specifically be for flushing the kernel cache view of a user page which the
kernel has modified. The driver would need to add
flush_kernel_dcache_page(page) before the final kunmap.Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

Currently, get_user_pages() returns fully coherent pages to the kernel for
anything other than anonymous pages. This is a problem for things like
fuse and the SCSI generic ioctl SG_IO which can potentially wish to do DMA
to anonymous pages passed in by users.The fix is to add a new memory management API: flush_anon_page() which
is used in get_user_pages() to make anonymous pages coherent.Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

As Pekka Enberg pointed out, with the if still following the else, you can
still get a null uid written to the disk if you specify a default uid= without
uid=forget. In other words, if the desktop user is uid=1000 and the mount
option uid=1000 is given ( which is done on ubuntu automatically and probably
other distributions that use hal ), then if any other user besides uid 1000
owns a file then a 0 will be written to the media as the owning uid instead.Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton

There were a number of conflicting naming schemes used in the v9fs project.
The directory was fs/9p, but MAINTAINERS and Documentation referred to
v9fs. The module name itself was 9p2000, and the file system type was 9P.
This patch attempts to clean that up, changing all references to 9p in
order to match the directory name. We'll also start using 9p instead of
v9fs as our patch prefix.There is also a minor consistency cleanup in the options changing the name
option to uname in order to more closely match the Plan 9 options.Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergevan
