- Various updates. Things are pretty quiet at present.

There are quite a few things here which are needed for 2.6.20 but which go
through subsystem maintainers, when people wake up again.

Boilerplate:

- See the `hot-fixes' directory for any important updates to this patchset.

- To fetch an -mm tree using git, use (for example)

git-fetch git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/smurf/linux-trees.git tag v2.6.16-rc2-mm1
git-checkout -b local-v2.6.16-rc2-mm1 v2.6.16-rc2-mm1

- -mm kernel commit activity can be reviewed by subscribing to the
mm-commits mailing list.

echo "subscribe mm-commits" | mail majo...@vger.kernel.org

- If you hit a bug in -mm and it is not obvious which patch caused it, it is
most valuable if you can perform a bisection search to identify which patch
introduced the bug. Instructions for this process are at

http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/bisecting-mm-trees.txt

But beware that this process takes some time (around ten rebuilds and
reboots), so consider reporting the bug first and if we cannot immediately
identify the faulty patch, then perform the bisection search.

- When reporting bugs, please try to Cc: the relevant maintainer and mailing
list on any email.

- When reporting bugs in this kernel via email, please also rewrite the
email Subject: in some manner to reflect the nature of the bug. Some
developers filter by Subject: when looking for messages to read.

- Semi-daily snapshots of the -mm lineup are uploaded to
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/mm/ and are announced on
the mm-commits list.

This patch fixes the following compile error:

<-- snip -->

...
LD drivers/media/video/built-in.o
drivers/media/video/saa7134/built-in.o:(.data+0x85ec): multiple definition of `ir_rc5_remote_gap'

make[4]: *** [drivers/media/video/built-in.o] Error 1

<-- snip -->

Since this variables were needlessly global, this patch implements the
trivial fix of making them static.

Hello,

got this with 2.6.20-rc2-mm1, reverting

As already said:
- merges infrastructure without any users (the corresponding x86_64 code
is now merged and bloating the kernel unused for nearly one year)
- the planned user (perfmon) doesn't use the EXPORT_SYMBOL's that will
bloat the kernel even if the code using this infrastructure will ever
be merged

Let's either get the user into -mm, too, or drop the
infrastructure on all architectures until it's actually used.

Hi,

This is due to sysfs_hash_and_remove() holding dir->d_inode->i_mutex
before calling sysfs_drop_dentry() which calls orphan_all_buffers()
which in turn takes node->i_mutex.
The following patch solves the problem by defering the buffers orphaning
after the dir->d_inode->imutex is released. Not sure it's the best
solution though, Greg?

Regards,
Frederik

Andrew,

The kmap_atomic-debugging patch checks twice for (type !=
KM_SKB_SUNRPC_DATA). The right check would be to look for
KM_SKB_DATA_SOFTIRQ, as added by the following patch. I've read the
mail, in which you mentioned that you spotted a copy-n-paste error in
kmap_atomic, I suppose that you refered to this, but just in case...

Regards,
Frederik

Tested, it does work: the INFO about "possible recursive locking" went away.

Actually, there's a problem with the patch: inode is not initialized in
sysfs_hash_and_remove, I'll repost a patch against 2.6.20-rc3-mm1.

Frederik
