[patch 2/8] s390-kvm: leave sie context on work. Removes preemption requirement
From: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger(a)de.ibm.com> From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky(a)de.ibm.com> This patch fixes a bug with cpu bound guest on kvm-s390. Sometimes it was impossible to deliver a signal to a spinning guest. We used preemption as a circumvention. The preemption notifiers called vcpu_load, w... 6 May 2008 23:27

[patch 1/8] s390: Optimize user and work TIF check
From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky(a)de.ibm.com> On return from syscall or interrupt, we have to check if we return to userspace (likely) and if there is work todo (less likely) to decide if we handle the work. We can optimize this check: we first check for the less likely work case and then check for userspace... 6 May 2008 23:27

[PATCH] hostap: procfs fix for hostap_fw.c
Hello, I've been toying with hostap_pci and found a bug that is triggered when you unload/reload the module. If you don't have PRISM2_NO_PROCFS_DEBUG defined (which is the default, as per hostap_config.h), the driver creates a "registers" file in /proc used to dump PRISM registers (function prism2_init... 6 May 2008 23:27

[PATCH6/7] i2c: adds support for i2c bus on Freescale CPM1/CPM2 controllers
Hi Wolfram, + /* Begin transmission */ + setbits8(&i2c_reg->i2com, 0x80); Hardcoded value. (I also wonder if 0x81 might be more suitable, as it keeps the "be-a-master"-bit set. Still, both values work with my setup.) +#ifdef I2C_CHIP_ERRATA + /* + * Chip errata, clear enable. This is not ... 6 May 2008 23:27

[hg:v4l-dvb] Fix FW_LOADER depencency at v4l/dvb
Mauro, I disagree with this change. It looks like you are attempting to workaround a Kbuild bug, by adding additional dependencies to modules that select FW_LOADER. Rather than doing this, we should work on fixing Kbuild such that this situation would be corrected. Energy would be better spent fixing the K... 6 May 2008 23:27
