| Kirill Kuvaldin | [PATCH] isofs: mounting to regular file may succeed
It turned out that mounting a corrupted ISO image to a regular file may
succeed, e.g. if an image was prepared as follows:
$ dd if=correct.iso of=bad.iso bs=4k count=8
We then can mount it to a regular file:
# mount -o loop -t iso9660 bad.iso /tmp/file
But mounting it to a directory fails with -ENOTDIR, simply because
the root directory inode doesn't have S_IFDIR set and the condition
in graft_tree() is met:
if (S_ISDIR(nd->dentry->d_inode->i_mode) !=
S_ISDIR(mnt->mnt...

| Robert Hancock | Re: Always zero test in arch/i386/pci/mmconfig-shared.c
You missed this code:
name = pci_mmcfg_probes[i].probe();
This calls one of the probe functions above, which will set
pci_mmcfg_config_num to something else, as with the name variable. It
may set the name but not the config num, if the chipset is recognized

| H. Peter Anvin | kernel.org needs gitweb help
Hi all,
A lot of people have asked me if there is anything they can do to help
out kernel.org. At this point, the number one thing anyone could do to
help, and which would be reasonably self-contained a project, would be
to help maintain our fork of gitweb:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/warthog9/gitweb.git;a=summary
We really need the caching version of gitweb, but it does have a number
of problems, including the non-working tarball generator.

Neil, Andrew,
The following patches replace the stripe-queue patches currently in -mm.
Following your suggestion, Neil, I gathered blktrace data on the number
of reads generated by sequential write stimulus. It turns out that
reduced pre-reading is not the cause of the performance increase, but
rather increased write merging. The data, in patch #1, shows a 74%
decrease in the number of dispatched writes. I can only assume that
this is the explanation for the 65% throughput improvement, because t...

I have a little practical problem here: am presently unable to compile
anything much due to all the git rejects coming out of git-md-accel.patch.
It'd be appreciated if you could keep on top of that, please. It's a common

| Dan Williams | [-mm PATCH 2/2] raid5: use stripe_queues to prioritize the "...
Overview:
Taking advantage of the stripe_queue/stripe_head separation, this patch
implements a queue in front of the stripe cache. A stripe_queue pool
accepts incoming requests. As requests are attached, the weight of the
queue object is updated. A workqueue is introduced to control the flow of
requests to the stripe cache. Pressure (weight of the queue object) can
push requests to be processed by the the cache (raid5d). raid5d also pulls
requests when its 'handle' list is empty.

The raid5 stripe cache object, struct stripe_head, serves two purposes:
1/ frontend: queuing incoming requests
2/ backend: transitioning requests through the cache state machine
to the backing devices
The problem with this model is that queuing decisions are directly tied to
cache availability. There is no facility to determine that a request or
group of requests 'deserves' usage of the cache and disks at any given time.
This patch separates the object members needed for queuing from the obj...

this patch adds an entry in Kconfig after 'config MAGIC_SYSRQ' which

Hello everyone,
today I compiled the newest kernel (2.6.22.1 from kernel.org) and installed it into the system.
With the older builds it took about 3...4 days to get an Oops. So we have to be a little patient, I'm afraid.
If there are any news I will let you know.

The Adutux driver uses a semaphore as mutex. Use the mutex API
instead of the (binary) semaphore.

| TripleX Chung | Ask for help, about the trivial patches.
I am working on the chinese translated version of
Documentation/SubmittingPatches and get some problem about the "Trivial
patches".I can not understand what "Trivial patches" exactly means.The
documentation said:
Trivial patches must qualify for one of the following rules:
Spelling fixes in documentation
//Understand
Spelling fixes which could break grep(1)
//Is there any wrong spelling won't break grep(1)?
Warning fixes (cluttering with useless warnings is bad)

Note: my explanations below are based on how I understand these
things, but I'm not the trivial patch monkey nor did I help create
these guidelines, so I'm in no way authoritative on the subject.
If you are unclear of the meaning of the word "trivial", then take a

"its" & "it's" - quite different meaning, very similar spelling.

| Bodo Eggert | [PATCH 0/3][try 1] init: enable system-on-initramfs
I toyed with setting up a diskless system in initramfs. In the process, I
came across some things:
1) There is no way to have the kernel not mount a filesystem,
unless you use /init or rdinit=.
1a) In the process of writing these patches, I found prepare_namespace not to
be called if /init is present. prepare_namespace will call
security_sb_post_mountroot after mounting the root fs. I did not yet see
a way to call this from /init, and grepping kinit for "security" did not

That's pretty hideous. There shouldn't be a need for doing that.
rdev, unfortunately, isn't dead -- it lives on in the form of
/proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev, as I found out doing the klibc set.

| Bodo Eggert | Re: [PATCH 0/3][try 1] init: enable system-on-initramfs
rdinit is supposed to do a different job from /sbin/init, therefore it
will not do the security callbacks the original code would do.
It just missed it's own funeral:
"Obsolete root change mechanism
------------------------------
The following mechanism was used before the introduction of pivot_root.
Current kernels still support it, but you should _not_ rely on its
continued availability." (Documentation/initrd.txt)
I don't insist on changing the default, it was just a logical step ...
