[IA64] SGI SN drivers: don't report !sn2 hardware as an error

2006-03-07T23:27:59Z

This stuff is all in the generic ia64 kernel, and the new initcall error reporting complains about them. Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas Signed-off-by: Tony Luck

[PATCH] Add missing ifdef for VIA RNG code

2006-03-04T02:05:58Z

Almost all the code for the VIA RNG is guarded with __i386__ #ifdefs, the only exception being the enumeration of RNG types which is used to index into the rng_vector ops array. This patch adds an ifdef around that for consistency and since the guard makes a difference when adding new RNG types on non-i386 hardware. Signed-Off-By: Mark Brown Signed-Off-By: Jeff Garzik

[PATCH] pcmcia: CM4000, CM4040 Driver fixes

2006-03-01T10:18:30Z

Using this patch, Omnikey CardMan 4000 and 4040 devices automatically get their device nodes created by udev. Also, we now check for (and handle) failure of pcmcia_register_driver() Signed-off-by: Harald Welte Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski

[PATCH] synclink_gt: make ->init_error signed

[PATCH] tty buffering: comment out debug code

2006-03-01T04:53:44Z

Comment out debug code in tty receive buffering. For performance reasons (I'll keep it enabled in -mm). Signed-off-by: Paul Fulghum Cc: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Fix Specialix SX corruption

2006-02-27T16:18:04Z

With the latest kernels, I experienced some strange corruption, some '*****' being randomly inserted in the character flow, like this: ashes:~# ashes:~# a*******shes:~# ashes:~# ashes:~# Further investigation shows that the problem was introduced during Alan's "TTY layer buffering revamp" patch, the amount of data to be copied being reduced after buffer allocation. Moving the count fixup around solves the problem. Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier Approved-by: Rogier Wolff Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Fix Specialix SI probing

2006-02-26T17:10:58Z

As the (probably) last user of a Specialix SI board, I noticed that recent kernels would fail to probe the sucker. Quick investigation indicate a few missing braces... I left the double probing in place, as it looks like it's been here forever. Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Fix race condition in hvc console.

2006-02-24T00:36:40Z

tty_schedule_flip() would schedule a thread that would call flush_to_ldisc(). If tty_buffer_request_room() gets called prior to that thread running -- which is likely in this loop in hvc_poll(), it would set the active flag in the tty buffer and consequently flush_to_ldisc() would ignore it. The result is that input on the hvc console is not processed. This fix calls tty_flip_buffer_push (and flags the tty as "low_latency"). The push to the ldisc thus happens synchronously.
