[PATCH] check name_len before down_read xattr_sem and sb_read in ext2_xattr_get
Hi, I walked through ext2_xattr_get, and felt that we can do some optimization on it. For name_len check, it's done after down xattr_sem and sb_read, both of which are time consuming operation compared with strlen: down_read(&EXT2_I(inode)->xattr_sem); ... bh = sb_bread(inode->i_sb, EXT... 12 Jul 2010 10:41

[PATCH v2 1/2] regulator: tps6507x: allow driver to use DEFDCDC{2,3}_HIGH register
From: Anuj Aggarwal <anuj.aggarwal(a)ti.com> In TPS6507x, depending on the status of DEFDCDC{2,3} pin either DEFDCDC{2,3}_LOW or DEFDCDC{2,3}_HIGH register needs to be read or programmed to change the output voltage. The current driver assumes DEFDCDC{2,3} pins are always tied low and thus operates only on DEFDC... 12 Jul 2010 09:35
