[PATCH 0/9] Scalability requirements for sysv ipc - v3
After scalability problems have been detected when using the sysV ipcs, I have proposed to use an RCU based implementation of the IDR api instead (see threads http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/11/212 and http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/29/295). This resulted in many people asking to convert the idr API and make it rcu s... 7 May 2008 07:28

[PATCH 2/9] Rename some of the idr APIs internal routines
[PATCH 02/09] This is a trivial patch that renames: . alloc_layer to get_from_free_list since it idr_pre_get that actually allocates memory. . free_layer to move_to_free_list since memory is not actually freed there. This makes things more clear for the next patches. Signed-off-by: Nadia Derbey <... 7 May 2008 07:28

[PATCH] IB/ehca: Protect QP against destroying until all async events for it are handled.
This is necessary because, in a multicore environment, a race between uverbs async handler and destroy QP could occur. Signed-off-by: Stefan Roscher <stefan.roscher at de.ibm.com> --- We are not sure if this should be fixed in the driver or in uverbs itself. Roland, what's your opinion about this? drivers/... 7 May 2008 15:04

[Patch] hfsplus oops on image without extends
hi, the following patch fixes an oops with a corrupted hfs+ image. see http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10548 for details. Problem is that we call hfs_btree_open() from hfsplus_fill_super() to set HFSPLUS_SB(sb).[ext_tree|cat_tree] Both trees are still NULL at this moment. If hfs_btree_open() fails f... 7 May 2008 06:40

[PATCH] atmel_lcdfb: fix initialization of a pre-allocated framebuffer
Fix initialization of framebuffer not calling ioremap_writecombine() function and not using internal SRAM for at91sam9rl. This is a little rework of the "Don't initialize a pre-allocated framebuffer" patch that corrects the call to ioremap_writecombine() function. It also cuts the use of internal SRAM for at9... 7 May 2008 05:53
