[PATCH (RESEND)] ecryptfs: propagate key errors up at mount time
(re-sending this, forgot to actually put it on any list last time!) Mounting with invalid key signatures should probably fail, if they were specifically requested but not available. Also fix case checks in process_request_key_err() for the right sign of the errnos, as spotted by Jan Tluka. Signed-off-by: Eri... 19 Jun 2008 15:46

usb-storage: wait for device scanning before mounting root
Stefan Richter wrote: The problem is AFAIU not exactly how many Scsi_Host instances (initiator port representations, or something remotely related to that) are instantiated, but rather _when_ they are instantiated.

usb-storage: wait for device scanning before mounting root

[PATCH] Hugetlb: stop race when reading proc meminfo
minor nit that hugetlb_report_{,node_}meminfo() does not lock the reading of nr_huge_pages, free_huge_pages, and friends so this is not an atomic set of information put into the buffer. If /proc/meminfo is read while the number of hugetlb pages is in flux it is possible to get incorrect output such as: HugePage... 19 Jun 2008 14:44

CFS vs cpu hotplug

mm: add a ptep_modify_prot transaction abstraction
Benjamin Herrenschmidt wrote: Which architecture are you interested in? If it isn't x86, you can probably get anything past Linus ;) I'll do some measurements to see what effect the batchable ptep_set_wrprotect() has on native. If it's significant, I'll propose making it conditional on CONF... 19 Jun 2008 14:44

Question about sys_ind (Partition ID fields)
Is there a reason why the sys_ind field (The partition ID) is not cached in the hd_struct persistently? I noticed that after the initial check_partition calls through check_part[]() read all this data and only remember the starting sector and size of a given partition. Perhaps I am missing something, and its st... 19 Jun 2008 13:42
