Makefile asking for mrproper on new checkout with KBUILD_OUTPUT
I get this problem: When a few Header files are changed, like when doing a git checkout the Makefile is complaining about mrproper needed. Now I'm building a: make ARCH=arch KBUILD_OUTPUT=.build_arch/ But a: make ARCH=arch KBUILD_OUTPUT=.build_arch/ mrproper Will not help. What the Makefile wants is a:... 17 Jun 2010 12:18

[PATCH 1/1] FS: attr, check ATTR_SIZE in ia_valid not ia_mode
Fix a bug introduced by commit "check ATTR_SIZE contraints in inode_change_ok" which added a size check, but checks the size even if ATTR_SIZE is not in attr->ia_valid because it tests the bit in attr->ia_mode. Test properly against ia_valid. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby(a)suse.cz> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <h... 16 Jun 2010 18:49

[PATCH 1/1] x86_64: initialize VDSO earlier
When initrd is in use and a driver does request_module() in its module_init (i.e. __initcall or device_initcall), a modprobe process is created with VDSO mapping. But VDSO is inited even in __initcall, i.e. on the same level (at the same time), so it may not be inited yet (link order matters). Move the VDSO init... 16 Jun 2010 17:43
