2.6.31.6: Intel 82574L devices spontaneously dropping off PCIe?
I have a Supermicro X8SIL-F system, which has a couple of on-board 82574L gigabit interfaces. I'm running the stock F12 kernel on it (2.6.31.6-166.fc12.x86_64). This is a new machine, so I'm trying to work out if this is a hardware problem I should RMA the board for, if this is some kind of driver bug. Th... 13 Dec 2009 16:30

[PATCH v3] Documentation: rw_lock lessons learned
In recent months, two different network projects erroneously strayed down the rw_lock path. Update the Documentation based upon comments by Eric Dumazet and Paul E. McKenney in those threads. Further updates await somebody else with more expertise. Changes: - Merged with extensive content by Stephen Hemmin... 13 Dec 2009 15:24

regulator: mc13783 change to platform_driver_register.

[PATCH 9/9] sound/soc/codecs: Correct code taking the size of a pointer
From: Julia Lawall <julia(a)diku.dk> sizeof(codec->reg_cache) is just the size of the pointer. Elsewhere in the file, codec->reg_cache is used with sizeof(wm8900_reg_defaults), so the code is changed to do the same here. A simplified version of the semantic patch that finds this problem is as follows: (http://c... 13 Dec 2009 07:45

[git pull] Please pull powerpc.git next branch
Hi Linus ! So here's finally the powerpc merge for this window. I was waiting to sort out some stuff with the Nintendo Gamecube and Wii patches but in the end, I may as well have them in a separate pull request rather than waiting longer. Among the highlights this time around, there's Alex new 64-bit ppc KVM ... 12 Dec 2009 21:07
