[PATCH] eeepc-laptop: fix hotplug_disabled module_param permissions
The hotplug_disabled module parameter is determinated at the module load time. Change the value after the module is loaded does not make sense and has no effect at all, thus set the permissions to 0444 instead of 0644.

[PATCH] asus-laptop: fix wapf, wlan_status and bluetooth_status module_param permissions
The wapf module parameters defines the behavior of the Fn+Fx wlan key. The wlan_status and bluetooth_status module parameters are for setting the wlan/bluetooth status on boot. All above module parameters are determinated only at the module load time. Change the value after the module is loaded does not make sense ... 11 Jul 2010 21:35

cgroups: save space for the terminator
Quoting Dan Carpenter (error27(a)gmail.com): The original code didn't leave enough space for a NULL terminator. These strings are copied with strcpy() into fixed length buffers in cgroup_root_from_opts(). Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <error27(a)gmail.com> Hmm, yes - the fact that kstrndup() allocs len+1... 11 Jul 2010 21:35

UIO: munmap bug for boot time allocated memory
[Resend of earlier email due to first email bouncing] Hi, I'm currently experiencing a kernel bug when munmap'ing a UIO memory region. The uio memory region is a large (up to 48MB) buffer allocated by a UIO driver at boot time using alloc_bootmem_low_pages(). The idea is once the large buffer is allocated, dev... 21 Jul 2010 05:54

[PATCH] x86: Setup early console as early as possible
Analyze "console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,115200n8" in i386_start_kernel/x86_64_start_kernel, and call setup_early_serial8250_console() to init early serial console. only can handle io port kind of 8250. because mmio need ioremap.

[PATCH 12/12] drivers: autoconvert trivial BKL users to private mutex
All these files use the big kernel lock in a trivial way to serialize their private file operations, typically resulting from an earlier semi-automatic pushdown from VFS. None of these drivers appears to want to lock against other code, and they all use the BKL as the top-level lock in their file operations, me... 11 Jul 2010 18:11
