keyctl_session_to_parent: use thread_group_empty() to check singlethreadness
Oleg Nesterov <oleg(a)redhat.com> wrote: No functional changes. keyctl_session_to_parent() is the only user of signal->count which needs the correct value. Change it to use thread_group_empty() instead, this must be strictly equivalent under tasklist, and imho looks better. Signed-off-by: Oleg Ne... 24 Mar 2010 05:29

[PATCH 2/4] iwlwifi: don't include iwl-dev.h from iwl-devtrace.h
iwl-devtrace.h is used to declare and define trace points and including iwl-dev.h from the file, which in turn includes other generic headers can lead to problems like generating duplicate copies of generic trace points depending on the order of includes. Don't include iwl-dev.h from iwl-devtrace.h but include it ... 24 Mar 2010 05:29

[PATCH 1/4] x86: don't include slab.h from arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable_32.h
Including slab.h from x86 pgtable_32.h creates a troublesome dependency chain w/ ftrace enabled. The following chain leads to inclusion of pgtable_32.h from define_trace.h. trace/define_trace.h trace/ftrace.h linux/ftrace_event.h linux/ring_buffer.h linux/mm.h asm/pgtable.h asm/pgtable_32.h And wh... 24 Mar 2010 05:29

[RFC] hwmon: f71882fg: Add watchdog API for F71808E and F71889
Hi, Nack: As the watchdog has its own SIO logical device number, it should have a separate driver, not have support glued to the hwmon driver.

[PATCH 1/2] mm/vmalloc: Export purge_vmap_area_lazy()
Some powerpc code needs to ensure that all previous iounmap/vunmap has really been flushed out of the MMU hash table. Without that, various hotplug operations may fail when trying to return those pieces to the hypervisor due to existing active mappings. This exports purge_vmap_area_lazy() to allow the powerpc cod... 24 Mar 2010 04:24
