dma_sync_sg_for_cpu applied to a single scatterlist element
This is addressed to James Bottomley as he is the author of Documentation/DMA-API.txt, but anyone else who can contribute is invited to do so. Suppose a scatter-gather transfer with multiple scatterlist elements has been mapped via dma_map_sg(). Is it then valid to call dma_sync_sg_for_cpu() with the "sg" argu... 18 Mar 2010 10:30

[PATCH] vfs: pass struct file to do_truncate on O_TRUNC opens
When a file is opened with O_TRUNC, the truncate processing is handled by handle_truncate(). This function however doesn't receive any info about the newly instantiated filp, and therefore can't pass that info along so that the setattr can use it. This makes NFSv4 misbehave. The client does an open and gets a val... 15 Mar 2010 18:09

[patch] x86: handle legacy PIC interrupts on all the cpu's
Ingo Molnar reported that with the recent changes of not statically blocking IRQ0_VECTOR..IRQ15_VECTOR's on all the cpu's, broke an AMD platform (with Nvidia chipset) boot when "noapic" boot option is used. On this platform, legacy PIC interrupts are getting delivered to all the cpu's instead of just the boot cpu... 15 Mar 2010 18:09

Bad performance after suspend on Intel i7 and i5
Hi, When I run make -j12 (on a kernel tree) all 8 cores are at 100% each. (Can also be tested with stress -c 8 or any multithreaded program) After a suspend2ram (using pm-suspend) only one single core is at 100% and the others are somewhere between 0% and 10% though not 100% like before. This bug is reproduce... 18 Mar 2010 16:38

[PATCH] perf: Fix unexported generic perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs
perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs() is exported for the overriden x86 version, but not for the generic weak version. As a general rule, weak functions should have their symbol exported in the same file they are defined. So let's export it on trace_event_perf.c as it is used by trace events only. This fixes: ERROR... 15 Mar 2010 18:09
