| David Woodhouse | [PATCH 10/18] ihex.h: binary representation of ihex records
Some devices need their firmware as a set of {address, len, data...}
records in some specific order rather than a simple blob.
The normal way of doing this kind of thing is 'ihex', which is a text
format and not entirely suitable for use in the kernel.
This provides a binary representation which is very similar, but much
more compact -- and a helper routine to skip to the next record,
because the alignment constraints mean that everybody will screw it up
for themselves otherwise.

| Bjorn Helgaas | [patch 15/15] PNP: convert resource options to single linked...
ISAPNP, PNPBIOS, and ACPI describe the "possible resource settings" of
a device, i.e., the possibilities an OS bus driver has when it assigns
I/O port, MMIO, and other resources to the device.
PNP used to maintain this "possible resource setting" information in
one independent option structure and a list of dependent option
structures for each device. Each of these option structures had lists
of I/O, memory, IRQ, and DMA resources, for example:

| Bjorn Helgaas | [patch 14/15] PNP: support optional IRQ resources
This patch adds an IORESOURCE_IRQ_OPTIONAL flag for use when
assigning resources to a device. If the flag is set and we are
unable to assign an IRQ to the device, we can leave the IRQ
disabled but allow the overall resource allocation to succeed.
Some devices request an IRQ, but can run without an IRQ
(possibly with degraded performance). This flag lets us run
the device without the IRQ instead of just leaving the
device disabled.

| Bjorn Helgaas | [patch 11/15] PNP: centralize resource option allocations
This patch moves all the option allocations (pnp_mem, pnp_port, etc)
into the pnp_register_{mem,port,irq,dma}_resource() functions. This
will make it easier to rework the option data structures.
The non-trivial part of this patch is the IRQ handling. The backends
have to allocate a local pnp_irq_mask_t bitmap, populate it, and pass
a pointer to pnp_register_irq_resource().

ACPI Extended Interrupt Descriptors can encode 32-bit interrupt

To avoid corrupting memory, complain and ignore too-large interrupt

There's similar code in pnpacpi_parse_irq_option(), but I didn't
change that because the small IRQ descriptor can only encode
IRQs 0-15, which do not exceed bitmap size.

This patch doesn't change any behavior; it just makes the return

This changes pnp_assign_dma() from a void function to one that
returns an int, just like the other assignment functions. For
now, at least, pnp_assign_dma() always returns 0 (success), so
it appears to never fail, just like before.

To date the behavior of a Smack system running with nltype
unlabeled has been carefully undefined. The way you're defining
it will result in a system in which only processes running with
the ambient label will be able to use sockets, unless I'm reading
the code incorrectly. This seems like "correct" behavior, but
I don't think it is what those who've tried it would expect.

no no no no no. And no.
GFP_ATOMIC is *unreliable*. Using it in a "security" feature is a bug
- if it fails, the feature isn't secure any more.
Failing to check the kmalloc() return value might be a bug.
If we _need_ GFP_ATOMIC here then taking a mutex in a cannot-sleep
context is a bug.
The patch adds a kmalloc but doesn't add a kfree. Is it leaky?
Finally, why is there a need to take a lock around a single store
instruction?

| Clifford Wolf | Re: [PATCH] Add rlimits to /proc/<PID>/status
Hi,
this was a cleanup of a patch I've sent to lkml about 6 months ago
when there was no yet-released (non-rc) kernel with /proc/<PID>/limits ...
my patch is a more or less duplicate of commit d85f50d5. oops.
please simply ignore it.. ;-)
yours,
- clifford

A byte walks into a bar and orders a pint. Bartender asks him "What's wrong?"
Byte says "Parity error." Bartender nods and says "Yeah, I thought you looked
a bit off."

| Paul Jackson | [PATCH] doc: document the kernel-doc conventions for kernel ...
From: Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com>
Provide documentation of the kernel-doc documentation conventions
oriented to kernel hackers.
Since I figure that there will be more people reading this
kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt file who are kernel developers focused
on the rest of the kernel, than there will be readers of this
file who are documentation developers extracting that embedded
kernel-doc documentation, I have taken the liberty of making
the new section added here:

Almost all users of this field need a PFN instead of a physical

| Johannes Weiner | [PATCH -mm 13/14] bootmem: revisit alloc_bootmem_section
Since alloc_bootmem_core does no goal-fallback anymore and just
returns NULL if the allocation fails, we might now use it in
alloc_bootmem_section without all the fixup code for a misplaced
allocation.
Also, the limit can be the first PFN of the next section as the
semantics is that the limit is _above_ the allocated region, not
within.

| Johannes Weiner | [PATCH -mm 11/14] bootmem: respect goal more likely
The old node-agnostic code tried allocating on all nodes starting from
the one with the lowest range. alloc_bootmem_core retried without the
goal if it could not satisfy it and so the goal was only respected at
all when it happened to be on the first (lowest page numbers) node (or
theoretically if allocations failed on all nodes before to the one
holding the goal).
Introduce a non-panicking helper that starts allocating from the node
holding the goal and falls back only after all thes tries failed...
