usbtmc makes Rigol DS1052E oscilloscope crash
Hi folks, I'm experiencing trouble connecting to a Rigol DS1052E oscilloscope via the usbtmc USB class driver. When requesting small amounts of data it works quite nicely, but when requesting a large chunk (i.e. when requesting the whole memory to be transferred), the read aborts, the connection times out and ul... 25 May 2010 14:38

[PATCH 2/1] block: make blk_init_free_list and elevator_init idempotent
blk_init_allocated_queue_node may fail and the caller _could_ retry. Accommodate the unlikely event that blk_init_allocated_queue_node is called on an already initialized (possibly partially) request_queue.

[PATCH] serial: Fix missing bit coverage of ASYNC_FLAGS
It seems that currently ASYNC_FLAGS is one bit short of covering all the bits of the ASYNC user flags. In particular it does not cover the ASYNC_AUTOPROBE bit. ASYNCB_LAST_USER and ASYNCB_AUTOPROBE are both equal to 15. Therefore: ASYNC_AUTOPROBE = 1000 0000 0000 0000 ASYNC_FLAGS = 0111 1111 1111 1111 ... 25 May 2010 13:31
