[PATCHv4 2/8] fs/timerfd.c: make use of wait_event_interruptible_locked_irq()
This patch modifies the fs/timerfd.c to use the newly created wait_event_interruptible_locked_irq() macro. This replaces an open code implementation with a single macro call.

[PATCHv4 7/8] USB: testusb: an USB testing application
From: David Brownell <dbrownell(a)users.sourceforge.net> The testusb program just issues ioctls to perform the tests implemented by the kernel driver. It can generate a variety of transfer patterns; you should make sure to test both regular streaming and mixes of transfer sizes (including short transfers). For... 5 May 2010 07:07
[PATCHv4 0/8] The FunctionFS composite function
From: Michal Nazarewicz <mina86(a)mina86.com> Hello everyone, Yet another version of the FunctionFS patchset. The code has been tested with a user-space MTP driver and there was no problems including with setup requests. As such, it is believed that the data transfers are reliable. *Changes from Previous... 5 May 2010 07:07

[PATCH 03/20] riscom8: kill use of lock_kernel
The riscom8 board uses lock_kernel to protect bits of the port setting ioctl logic. We can use the port mutex for this as the logic is internal and will also lock set versus open (a locking property that has been lost somewhere along the way) Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan(a)linux.intel.com> --- drivers/char/ri... 5 May 2010 07:07
[PATCH 19/20] serial: trim locking on the helpers
The port mutex protects port->tty, but these paths never need to walk from port->tty. They do need the low level lock as the API expects that but they already also take it. Thus we can drop the extra mutex lock calls here. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan(a)linux.intel.com> --- drivers/serial/serial_core.c | ... 5 May 2010 07:07
