[PATCH] Revert "writeback: limit write_cache_pages integrity scanning to current EOF"
This reverts commit d87815cb2090e07b0b0b2d73dc9740706e92c80c. This patch causes any filesystem with an allocation unit larger than the filesystem blocksize will leak unzeroed data. During a file extend, the entire allocation unit is zeroed. However, this patch prevents the tail blocks of the allocation unit fro... 28 Jun 2010 13:56

vhost: break out of polling loop on error

This means that we enable kicks and recheck ring empty: if this not empty, we re-start polling which of course will fail again. Instead, let's return a negative erro... 28 Jun 2010 13:56

[PATCH] fs: make sure do_change_type() gets a valid type.
Hi, Busybox mount does not support --make-shared, and -o shared is used instead. This has the side effect that MS_SILENT can be passed too, and that prevents do_change_type() from working. This patch fixes this by computing type using only relevant bits. Signed-off-by: Maxime Bizon <mbizon(a)freebox.fr> -... 28 Jun 2010 13:56

Regression: ps2mouse not working in 2.6.34
Okay, who broke it, and how do I re-enable it? The PS/2 mice on my systems here don't do anything with 2.6.34. One system complains that I need to boot with i8042.nopnp to enable it, which I also tried, but still nogo. Same behaviour with or without /dev/psaux enabled. 64-bit kernel. The other system, runnin... 28 Jun 2010 17:16
