      There are many similar code in kernel for one object: convert time between · 6b2d640d

      calendar time and broken-down time.
      
      Here is some source I found:
      fs/ncpfs/dir.c
      fs/smbfs/proc.c
      fs/fat/misc.c
      fs/udf/udftime.c
      fs/cifs/netmisc.c
      net/netfilter/xt_time.c
      drivers/scsi/ips.c
      drivers/input/misc/hp_sdc_rtc.c
      drivers/rtc/rtc-lib.c
      arch/ia64/hp/sim/boot/fw-emu.c
      arch/m68k/mac/misc.c
      arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c
      arch/parisc/include/asm/rtc.h
      ...
      
      We can make a common function for this type of conversoion, At least we
      can get following benefit:
      
      1: Make kernel simple and unify
      2: Easy to fix bug in converting code
      3: Reduce clone of code in future
         For example, I'm trying to make ftrace display walltime,
         this patch will make me easy.
      
      This code is based on code from glibc-2.6

      This is a patchset to change the way that the HFS+ filesystem detects · 8458ca39
      Warren Turkal authored
      whether a volume has a journal or not.
      
      The code currently mounts an HFS+ volume read-only by default when a
      journal is detected.  One can force a read/write mount by giving the
      "force" mount option.  The current code has this behavior since there is
      no support for the HFS+ journal.
      
      My problem is that the detection of the journal could be better.  The
      current code tests the attribute bit in the volume header that indicates
      there is a journal.  If that bit is set, the code assumes that there is a
      journal.
      
      Unfortunately, this is not enough to really determine if there is a
      journal or not.  When that bit is set, one must also examine the journal
      info block field of the volume header.  If this field is 0, there is no
      journal, and the volume can be mounted read/write.
      
      
      This patch:
      
      The HFS+ support in the kernel currently will mount an HFS+ volume
      read-only if the volume header has the attribute bit set that indicates
      there is a journal.  The kernel does this because there is no support for
      a journalled HFS+ volume.
      
      The problem is that this is only half of what needs to be checked to see
      if there really is a journal.  There is also an entry in the volume header
      that tells you where to find the journal info block.  In the kernel
      version of the kernel, this 4 byte block is labeled reserved.  This patch
      identifies the journal info block in the header.

      There are a few places in the Minix FS code where the "inode" field of a · 9b9bd540
      Doug Graham authored
      minix_dir_entry is used without checking first to see if the dirent is
      really a minix3_dir_entry.  The inode number in a V1/V2 dirent is 16 bits,
      whereas that in a V3 dirent is 32 bits.
      
      Accessing it as a 16 bit field when it really should be accessed as a 32
      bit field probably kinda sorta works on a little-endian machine, but leads
      to some rather odd behaviour on big-endian machines.

      At the moment about half of the framebuffer drivers can return an error · 713370f1
      Florian Tobias Schandinat authored
      code in fb_set_par. Until now it would be silently ignored by fbmem.c
      and fbcon.c. This patch fixes fbmem.c to return the error code and
      restore var on error.
      
      But it is not clear in which video mode the device is when fb_set_par
      fails.  It would be good and reasonable if it were in the old state but
      there is no guarantee that this is true for all existing drivers. 
      Additionally print a message if a failing fb_set_par is detected in
      fbmem.c or fbcon.c.
      
      Although most errors should be caught by the previous fb_check_var some
      errors can't as they are dynamic (memory allocations, ...) and can only be
      detected while performing the operations which is forbidden in
      fb_check_var.
      
      This patch shouldn't have a negative impact on normal operation as all
      drivers return 0 on success.  The impact in case of error depends heavily
      on the driver and caller but it's expected to be better than before.
