Block: Check major number before allocate the buffer in register_blkdev()
the original code use kmalloc() to allocate struct blk_major_name buffer first, then find the major number in major_names array. if found it, it will kfree() the unused struct blk_major_name buffer, if register_blkdev() called many times like: register_blkdev(22, "aa"); ..... register_blkdev(22, "aa"); kmalloc... 10 May 2010 08:46
thinkpad_acpi: add support for thinkpad x100e

Yeah, and I have a proper fix queued already, that locates the EC by HID, so NACK. However, even that is not enough. The vid_handle needs to be fixed as well, and there are a few bugs in t... 10 May 2010 08:46

lmb: Move lmb arrays to static storage in lmb.c and make their size a variable

The early node map is already using that size, at least. Well, one of the next patches implement dynamic resize of the LMB array so I was actually... 10 May 2010 08:46
[PATCH] AT91: PM: dual ram controller support
This rework allows to address tow memory controllers. AT91SAM9263 and AT91SAM9G45 family have tow SDRAM or DDR/SDRAM controllers. Power management should take care of this. This patch modify the way RAM IP header files are implemented to allow access to registers of both controllers ; it also adds some macros. W... 10 May 2010 07:40

[PATCH 19/25] lmb: Add array resizing support
When one of the array gets full, we resize it. After much thinking and a few iterations of that code, I went back to on-demand resizing using the (new) internal lmb_find_base() function, which is pretty much what Yinghai initially proposed, though there some differences in the details. To work this relies on the ... 10 May 2010 07:40
