| Adrian McMenamin | [PATCH] maple: add driver for Sega Dreamcast controller
Add support for the SEGA Dreamcast controller as a joystick device. Based on Yaegashi Takeshi's old 2.4 driver (never in mainline) with the addition of functioning removal (and reinsertion) code.

| Rob Landley | Compiling with 2.6.25-rc2 with binutils 2.17 fails?
Is anybody else having trouble compiling the kernel with binutils 2.17?
Still trying to track down why, but it works on a toolchain built from
binutils 2.18 and gcc 4.1.3, but not with a toolchain from binutils 2.17 and
gcc 4.1.2. And considering where it's failing...
If binutils 2.18 is the only version that now builds the kernel, could we
update Documentaiton/Changes to say that instead of 2.12?

| Quel Qun | Re: Kernel oops with bluetooth usb dongle
-------------- Original message ----------------------
Hi,
Thank you for the hand holding. I must admit I do not anything about kernel debugging.
With or without nohz=off, the crashes are very similar. It looks like it fails to execute list_add_tail(&timer->entry, vec), line 294 of kernel/timer.c.
I hope this helps, let me know if you need more info or want me to try anything else.

| Thomas Gleixner | Re: Kernel oops with bluetooth usb dongle
Unfortunately we only see that the list is corrupted but not which
code caused it. This looks like something forgot to delete the timer
before freeing the datastructure which contains it.
Can you please enable CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y and CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON=y
and give it another try?
If we can not catch it that way, I'll whip up a patch which points us
to the code which added the offending timer.
Thanks,
tglx

| Hans-Jürgen | What's needed for a PCIe card to be recognized?
I'm playing around with a vanilla 2.6.25-rc1, adding patches to make it
work on an Asus EeePC. That one has the problem that its Mini PCIe WLAN
module doesn't show up in lspci. That brought up a few questions that I
couldn't answer yet:
How can they "hide" a PCIe card?
What could be their motive to do that?
How can I make it appear?
I found some solutions googling around, but they all seem to be funny
workarounds, like unloading pciehp and then loading it again with

| Daniel Drake | pci-disable-decoding-during-sizing-of-bars.patch no longer n...
Hi,
The patch titled pci-disable-decoding-during-sizing-of-bars.patch in -mm
was previously used as a candidate to fix a boot hang with Intel's Q35
chipset: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198810
However, that particular issue is solved by commit a0ca9909609 in Linus
tree:
PCI x86: always use conf1 to access config space below 256 bytes
So unless there are other reasons for keeping
pci-disable-decoding-during-sizing-of-bars around, I think we can drop it.
Thanks,
Daniel

| Gunter Ohrner | Understanding Block Device Behaviour
Hi!
Maybe someone on this list can shed some light on my following observations.
I have a machine running Linux (2.6.23 / 2.6.24) as its main OS, a Windows
XP test installation on a physical primary partition and one logical drive
formatted as VFAT32 for exchanging data (/dev/sda11 / "d:").
I'm running the Windows inside QEMU/KVM, using "-hda /dev/sda" to provide my
physical disk to the VM. Of course, sda11 is never mounted if I start the
VM.
My expectation was that it should work fine to moun...

| Oleg Nesterov | [PATCH] simplify cpu_hotplug_begin()/put_online_cpus()
cpu_hotplug_begin() must be always called under cpu_add_remove_lock, this means
that only one process can be cpu_hotplug.active_writer. So we don't need the
cpu_hotplug.writer_queue, we can wake up the ->active_writer directly.
Also, fix the comment.

| Oleg Nesterov | [PATCH 1/2] workqueues: shrink cpu_populated_map when CPU dies
When cpu_populated_map was introduced, it was supposed that cwq->thread can
survive after CPU_DEAD, that is why we never shrink cpu_populated_map.
This is not very nice, we can safely remove the already dead CPU from the map.
The only required change is that destroy_workqueue() must hold the hotplug lock
until it destroys all cwq->thread's, to protect the cpu_populated_map. We could
make the local copy of cpu mask and drop the lock, but sizeof(cpumask_t) may be
very large.
Also, fix the com...

Same thing here, bisected it to:
commit 45b503548210fe6f23e92b856421c2a3f05fd034

[RTNETLINK]: Send a single notification on device state changes.
The revert applies cleanly and fixes the problem.
