This version incorporates further changes to address comments from Christoph Hellwig and Sam Ravnborg, many thanks for the valuable feedback! I'd like to get this into 2.6.36 in order to ... 7 Jul 2010 11:15

[PATCH] firewire: cdev: fix fw_cdev_event_bus_reset emission after local config ROM changes
When a descriptor was added or removed to the local node's config ROM, userspace clients which had a local node's /dev/fw* open did not receive any fw_cdev_event_bus_reset for poll()/read() consumption. The cause was that the core-device.c facility which re-reads the config ROM of the bus reset initiator node mis... 7 Jul 2010 10:08

[PATCH 5/6] padata: simplify serialization mechanism
We count the number of processed objects on a percpu basis, so we need to go through all the percpu reorder queues to calculate the sequence number of the next object that needs serialization. This patch changes this to count the number of processed objects global. So we can calculate the sequence number and the pe... 7 Jul 2010 10:08

[PATCH 1/6] padata: Check for valid padata instance on start
This patch introduces the PADATA_INVALID flag which is checked on padata start. This will be used to mark a padata instance as invalid, if the padata cpumask does not intersect with the active cpumask. we change padata_start to return an error if the PADATA_INVALID is set. Also we adapt the only padata user, pcryp... 7 Jul 2010 10:08

[PATCH 2/6] padata: Block until the instance is unused on stop
This patch makes padata_stop to block until the padata instance is unused. Also we split padata_stop to a locked and a unlocked version.
