VIDEO: ivtvfb, remove unneeded NULL test
On Tue, 2010-06-22 at 13:41 +0200, Jiri Slaby wrote: Stanse found that in ivtvfb_callback_cleanup there is an unneeded test for itv being NULL. But itv is initialized as container_of with non-zero offset, so it is never NULL (even if v4l2_dev is). This was found because itv is dereferenced earlier than the ... 19 Jul 2010 17:58

EXT3 FS and 64K blocks error
We're getting the following error with an EXT3 file sytem that has 64K blocks (2.6.32.12, on a powerpc), although I don't see any fixes for later kernels in a diff against 2.6.35-rc3): ext3_readdir: bad entry in directory #11: rec_len is smaller than minimal - offset=0, inode=0, rec_len=0, name_len=0 That mess... 3 Jul 2010 22:14

[PATCH] Fix uninitialized variable warning in do_one_initcall
The warning is corrected by extracting the debug path out into its own function. This does en up duplicating one line of code between the debug and regular code paths (i.e. the actual call of the initcall function), but it seems worthwhile for the cleaner build.

general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP
the kernel barfed this up, on waking up from suspend.. I've tried to reproduce this but haven't.(will see if I can, then will do a bisect) also I've had to revert commit: 6a4f3b52377 due to another issue so maybe that is a factor in this..

The below patch updates the addresses that are not connecting with the best that I can find, and also fixes a couple of addresses, so people can either choose an older version of the package and/or a newer ver... 3 Jul 2010 18:59

[PATCH 3/6] autofs/autofs4: move compat_ioctl handling into fs
Handling of autofs ioctl numbers does not need to be generic and can easily be done directly in autofs itself. This also pushes the BKL into autofs and autofs4 ioctl methods.

[PATCH] PM: Do not use dynamically allocated objects in pm_wakeup_event()
From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw(a)sisk.pl> Originally, pm_wakeup_event() uses struct delayed_work objects, allocated with GFP_ATOMIC, to schedule the execution of pm_relax() in future. However, as noted by Alan Stern, it is not necessary to do that, because all pm_wakeup_event() calls can use one static timer that w... 3 Jul 2010 18:59
