  • Impact: help prevent extinction of species

    The Tasmanian Devil is a shy iconic Australian creature named for its
    spine-chilling screech. It is threatened with extinction due to a
    scientifically interesting but horrific transmissible facial cancer.

    This one is standing in for Tux for one release using the far less-known
    Devil Facial Tux Disguise.

  • Update the RCU documentation to call out the need for callers of
    primitives like call_rcu() and synchronize_rcu() to prevent subsequent RCU

  • Add "disable" module parameter support to ipv6.ko by specifying
    "disable=1" on module load. We just do the minimum of initializing
    inetsw6[] so calls from other modules to inet6_register_protosw()
    won't OOPs, then bail out. No IPv6 addresses or sockets can be
    created as a result, and a reboot is required to enable IPv6.

  • Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
    - ide=nodma is no longer valid.

    drivers/ide/Kconfig
    - The module is ide-core.ko not ide.

    drivers/ide/ide.c
    - It took me a while to figure out what the arguments %d.%d:%d to nodma
    module parameter ment, so I added a comment to each.
    - Added a comment to each of the sscanf lines.
    - There is a bug, if j is 0 it would previously clear all the other bits
    except the current device, changed in three different places.
    mask &= (1 << i) should be mask &= ~(1 << i).

    entries are pretty old, from 2.6.0 onwards AFAIK, so this documents

  • I noticed the old commit 8f5aa26c75b7722e80c0c5c5bb833d41865d7019
    ("cpusets: update_cpumask documentation fix") is not a complete fix,
    resulting in inconsistent paragraphs. This patch fixes it and does other
    fixes and updates:

    - s/migrate_all_tasks()/migrate_live_tasks()/
    - describe more cpuset control files
    - s/cpumask_t/struct cpumask/
    - document cpu hotplug and change of 'sched_relax_domain_level' may cause
    domain rebuild
    - document various ways to query and modify cpusets
    - the equivalent of "mount -t cpuset" is "mount -t cgroup -o cpuset,noprefix"

  • This adds freefall handling to hp_accel driver. According to HP, it
    should just work, without us having to set the chip up by hand.

    hpfall.c is example .c program that parks the disk when accelerometer
    detects free fall. It should work; for now, it uses fixed 20seconds
    protection period.

  • Impact: prevents confusing the user when buffer size is inadequate

    The tracing framework offers a resizeable buffer, which mmiotrace uses
    to record events. If the buffer is full, the following events will be
    lost. Events should not be lost, so the documentation instructs the user
    to increase the buffer size. The buffer size is set via a debugfs file.

    Mmiotrace documentation was not updated the same time the debugfs file
    was changed. The old file was tracing/trace_entries and first contained
    the number of entries the buffer had space for, per cpu. Nowadays this
    file is replaced with the file tracing/buffer_size_kb, which tells the
    amount of memory reserved for the buffer, per cpu, in kilobytes.

    Previously, a flag had to be toggled via the debugfs file
    tracing/tracing_enabled when the buffer size was changed. This is no
    longer necessary.

    The mmiotrace documentation is updated to reflect the current state of
    the tracing framework.
