      [PATCH] rtc framework handles periodic irqs · 2601a464
      David Brownell authored 
      The RTC framework has an irq_set_freq() method that should be used to manage
the periodic IRQ frequency, but the current ioctl logic doesn't know how to do
that.  This patch teaches it how.

This means that drivers implementing irq_set_freq() will automatically support
RTC_IRQP_{READ,SET} ioctls; that logic doesn't need duplication within the
driver.

[akpm@osdl.org: export rtc_irq_set_freq]

      [PATCH] Documentation/rtc.txt updates (for rtc class) · 7531d8fa
      David Brownell authored 
      This updates the RTC documentation to summarize the two APIs now available:
the old PC/AT one, and the new RTC class drivers.  It also updates the
included "rtctest.c" file to better meet Linux style guidelines, and to work
with the new RTC drivers.

The problem is that task->nsproxy can be equal NULL for some time during
task exit. This patch fixes the BUG.

      [PATCH] fuse: fix Oops in lookup · 2d51013e
      Miklos Szeredi authored 
      Fix bug in certain error paths of lookup routines.  The request object was
reused for sending FORGET, which is illegal.  This bug could cause an Oops
in 2.6.18.  In earlier versions it might silently corrupt memory, but this
is very unlikely.

These error paths are never triggered by libfuse, so this wasn't noticed
even with the 2.6.18 kernel, only with a filesystem using the raw kernel
interface.

Thanks to Russ Cox for the bug report and test filesystem.

      [PATCH] initramfs: handle more than one source dir or file list · a26d79ca
      Thomas Chou authored 
      Fix bug 7401.

Handle more than one source dir or file list to the initramfs gen scripts.

The Kconfig help for INITRAMFS_SOURCE claims that you can specify multiple
space-separated sources in order to allow unprivileged users to build an
image.  There are two bugs in the current implementation that prevent this
from working.

First, we pass "file1 dir2" to the gen_initramfs_list.sh script, which it
obviously can't open.

Second, gen_initramfs_list.sh -l outputs multiple definitions for
deps_initramfs -- one for each argument.
