Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint. The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt() which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour). The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the superblock pointer. This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root and mnt_sb would be set directly. The patch also makes the following changes: (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change very little. (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb(). (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon(). This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root, and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in dentries being left unculled. However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries with child trees. [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree. (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

I have seen the cdrom drive appearing confused on using kdump on certain x86_64 systems. During the booting up of the second kernel, the following message would keep flooding the console, and the booting would not proceed any further. hda: cdrom_pc_intr: The drive appears confused (ireason = 0x01) In this patch, whenever we are hitting a confused state in the interrupt handler with the DRQ set, we end the request and return ide_stopped. Using this I dont see the status error. Signed-off-by:

Yeah, it's a hack, but it is only temporary until Alan's patches reworking this area make it in. We really should not care what devices below us are doing, especially when we do not really know what type of devices they are. This patch relies on the fact that the endpoint devices do not have a driver assigned to us. Signed-off-by: -

Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> - Return 8390.c to the old way of handling short packets (which is also faster) - Remove the skb_padto from orinoco. This got left in when the padding bad write patch was added and is actually not needed. This is fixing a merge error way back when. - Wavelan can also use the stack based buffer trick if you want Signed-off-by:

hi, this is another array overrun spotted by coverity (#id 507) we should check the index against array size before using it. Not sure why the driver doesnt use ARRAY_SIZE instead of its own macro. Signed-off-by:

hi, coverity choked at this check (id #223), assuming that skb might be NULL and used anyways later. Since start_hard_xmit() always gets called with a valid skb, the check is useless and this patch removes it. Signed-off-by:
