LDM: Fix for Windows Vista dynamic disks

2007-05-21T16:58:40+00:00

This fixes the LDM driver so that it works with Windows Vista dynamic
disks which are subtly different to Windows 2000/XP ones.

The patch was needed to get a Vista formatted dynamic disk to be
recognized and parsed successfully.

Thanks go to Chris Teachworth for the report and testing.

mm: optimize acorn partition truncate

2007-05-07T19:12:55+00:00

invalidate_bdev() is superfluous when truncate_inode_pages() is also
called.  do call invalidate_bh_lrus() though, to avoid stale pointers.

mm: remove destroy_dirty_buffers from invalidate_bdev()

2007-05-07T19:12:55+00:00

Remove the destroy_dirty_buffers argument from invalidate_bdev(), it hasn't
been used in 6 years (so akpm says).

find * -name \*.[ch] | xargs grep -l invalidate_bdev |
while read file; do
	quilt add $file;
	sed -ie 's/invalidate_bdev(\([^,]*\),[^)]*)/invalidate_bdev(\1)/g' $file;
done

mm: make read_cache_page synchronous

2007-05-07T19:12:51+00:00

Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows
us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls.

I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7
possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in
ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in
block2mtd.  All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return
with a !uptodate page.

remove "struct subsystem" as it is no longer needed

2007-05-03T01:57:59+00:00

We need to work on cleaning up the relationship between kobjects, ksets and
ktypes.  The removal of 'struct subsystem' is the first step of this,
especially as it is not really needed at all.

Thanks to Kay for fixing the bugs in this patch.

[PATCH] change misleading EFI partition support description

2007-03-17T02:25:06+00:00

Remove the misleading "Presently only useful on the IA-64 platform" text
from the EFI partition Kconfig.

EFI partitions are also used by Apple on their Intel-based machines and
thus you need EFI partition support if you (for example) want to attach
such a machine in target disk mode.
