sysfs: Fixup broken chown tracking
It looks like your patch is already in the tree as commit 7c0ff870d1ed287504a61ed865f3d728c757436b. We saw this problem before and Eric fixed it up. I thought it was very odd that you posted this 5 minutes ago and it was already upstream. Dave -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux... 9 Mar 2010 15:48

how to tweak ARP timer on kernel 2.6.9
Hi, I've been trying to figure out how to adjust the ARP timeout on kernel 2.6.9 and I found the following in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/ib0 (its an IB interface I am interested in changing) with the following values. This is on kernel 2.6.9-89ELsmp (RHEL4) : [root(a)up255 ib0]# cat anycast_delay 99 [root(a)up2... 9 Mar 2010 18:05

[PATCH] PPC: Skip over OF_DT_NOP when unflattening the device tree
NOPs within the property section are skipped, but NOPs between OF_DT_END_NODE and OF_DT_BEGIN_NODE were not. My firmware NOPs out entire nodes depending on various environment parameters. of_scan_flat_dt already handles NOP more generally..

[PATCH 1/3] input: remove BKL from mousedev
There's no need for BKL in mousedev. It uses lots of locking already that should handle the open case.

[PATCH 2/3] input: use input_mutex instead of BKL when opening input device
There are three types of input character devices: mousedev, joydev and evdev. They all use the same major device and, then, their opening is multiplexed in input_open_file. After the BKL pushdown, this multiplexing is protected by the BKL. But there's already a mutex used for adding and removing to the table ind... 9 Mar 2010 14:39
