db1de1595d [PATCH] serial: MRi MRI-PCIDS1 dual port serial card
Add support for the MRi PCIDS1 dual port serial card.  This card is a
little controversial since it is the subject of a PCI vendor/device ID
clash.  (See
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0303.1/0516.html).  I have
for now just used the hex ID 0x950a.  The divisor was part calculated part
iterated, so may not be exactly correct (but works for me at all settings
between 300 - 115300 bps).

1aaf18ff9d [PATCH] check_user_page_readable() deadlock fix
Fix bug identifued by Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>.

oprofile calls check_user_page_readable() from interrupt context, so we
deadlock over various VFS locks.

But check_user_page_readable() doesn't imply either a read or a write of the
page's contents.  Change __follow_page() so that check_user_page_readable()
can tell __follow_page() that we're not accessing the page's contents, and use
that info to avoid the troublesome lock-takings.

Also, make follow_page() inline for the single callsite in memory.c to save a
bit of stack space.

0cfc11ed45 [PATCH] fix xip sparse file handling in ext2
Oliver Paukstadt from our test department is testing the xip patches in
Linus' git-tree.  He found a problem that shows when reading a file that
contains sparse blocks (holes) on a -o xip mounted ext2 filesystem: the
BUG_ON() in fs/ext2/xip.c:40 triggers where it should not.  The problem was
introduced by a cleanup in my previous patch, this patch fixes it.

1872bcebbc [PATCH] ub: fix for blank CDs
This patch fixes a microcode lockup in my CD-ROM adapters when a blank CD
is inserted.  However, do not try to burn CDs yet!  I'm pretty sure that
trying it will end in coasters.

 - Fix a few cases where we were unable to resynchronize with replies
   for previous commands. The main thing is to keep reading replies
   in case of a stall. This is done with the new state CLRRS.
 - Since I am forgetting the basic state machine already, document it.
 - Move counter increments in the looping path in its own function.
 - Fix a harmless buglet in case CSW read fails to submit: do not
   override state.
 - Implement the Alan Stern's idea for adaptive signature checking.

This patch adds support for the Olitec ISDN PCI card in the hisax gazel
driver.  The gazel driver supports this card, but wasn't aware of its PCI

include/linux/pci_ids.h and recompile their kernel to get this card
running, as said in most Howtos.  This patch makes the hisax gazel driver
recognize the PCI ids of the Olitec ISDN PCI card.

This resolves entry #4863 in the OSDL bugzilla.  Although in that bug
report the failure occurred because of a confusion over scanning vs.
rescanning, in general add_sdev can fail for a number of reasons (the
simplest being insufficient memory) and the caller should cope properly.

b3bb8afd96 [PATCH] reiserfs: fix deadlock in inode creation failure path w/ default ACL
reiserfs_new_inode() can call iput() with the xattr lock held.  This will
cause a deadlock to occur when reiserfs_delete_xattrs() is called to clean
up.

The following patch releases the lock and reacquires it after the iput.
This is safe because interaction with xattrs is complete, and the relock is
just to balance out the release in the caller.

The locking needs some reworking to be more sane, but that's more intrusive
and I was just looking to fix this bug.

18586e7216 [PATCH] Fix RLIMIT_RTPRIO breakage
RLIMIT_RTPRIO is supposed to grant non privileged users the right to use
SCHED_FIFO/SCHED_RR scheduling policies with priorites bounded by the
RLIMIT_RTPRIO value via sched_setscheduler(). This is usually used by
audio users.

Unfortunately this is broken in 2.6.13rc3 as you can see in the excerpt
from sched_setscheduler below:

        /*
         * Allow unprivileged RT tasks to decrease priority:
         */
        if (!capable(CAP_SYS_NICE)) {
                /* can't change policy */
                if (policy != p->policy)
                        return -EPERM;

After the above unconditional test which causes sched_setscheduler to
fail with no regard to the RLIMIT_RTPRIO value the following check is made:

               /* can't increase priority */
                if (policy != SCHED_NORMAL &&
                    param->sched_priority > p->rt_priority &&
                    param->sched_priority >
                                p->signal->rlim[RLIMIT_RTPRIO].rlim_cur)
                        return -EPERM;

Thus I do believe that the RLIMIT_RTPRIO value must be taken into
account for the policy check, especially as the RLIMIT_RTPRIO limit is
of no use without this change.

The attached patch fixes this problem.
