2010-08-05cgroupfs: create /sys/fs/cgroup to mount cgroupfs onGreg KH
We really shouldn't be asking userspace to create new root filesystems. So follow along with all of the other in-kernel filesystems, and provide a mount point in sysfs. For cgroupfs, this should be in /sys/fs/cgroup/ This change provides that mount point when the cgroup filesystem is registered in the kernel.

2010-08-05Driver core: Add BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVERMagnus Damm
Add BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER as a bus notifier event. For driver binding/unbinding we with this in place have the following bus notifier events: - BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER - before ->probe() - BUS_NOTIFY_BOUND_DRIVER - after ->probe() - BUS_NOTIFY_UNBIND_DRIVER - before ->remove() - BUS_NOTIFY_UNBOUND_DRIVER - after ->remove() The event BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER allows bus code to be notified that ->probe() is about to be called. Useful for bus code that needs to setup hardware before the driver gets to run. With this in place platform drivers can be loaded and unloaded as modules and the new BIND event allows bus code to control for instance device clocks that must be enabled before the driver can be executed. Without this patch there is no way for the bus code to get notified that a modular driver is about to be probed.

Update the in-kernel hotplug example script to work properly with recent kernels. Without this fix the script may load the firmware twice - both at "add" and "remove" time.

2010-08-05Driver core: Drop __must_check from bus_for_each_drv()Jean Delvare
There is little rationale for marking bus_for_each_drv() __must_check. It is more of an iteration helper than a real function. You don't know in advance which callback it will be used on, so you have no clue how important it can be to check the returned value. In practice, this helper function can be used for best-effort tasks. As a matter of fact, bus_for_each_dev() is not marked __must_check. So remove it from bus_for_each_drv() as well. This is the same that was done back in October 2006 by Russell King for device_for_each_child(), for exactly the same reasons.

2010-08-05hotplug: Support kernel/hotplug sysctl variable when !CONFIG_NETIan Abbott
The kernel/hotplug sysctl variable (/proc/sys/kernel/hotplug file) was made conditional on CONFIG_NET by commit f743ca5e10f4145e0b3e6d11b9b46171e16af7ce (applied in 2.6.18) to fix problems with undefined references in 2.6.16 when CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y && !CONFIG_NET, but this restriction is no longer needed.

2010-08-05ext4: Adding error check after calling ext4_mb_regular_allocator()Aditya Kali
If the bitmap block on disk is bad, ext4_mb_load_buddy() returns an error. This error is returned to the caller, ext4_mb_regular_allocator() and then to ext4_mb_new_blocks(). But ext4_mb_new_blocks() did not check for the return value of ext4_mb_regular_allocator() and would repeatedly try to load the bitmap block. The fix simply catches the return value and exits out of the 'repeat' loop after cleanup. We also take the opportunity to clean up the error handling in ext4_mb_new_blocks().

The main motivation of this patch changing strcpy() to strlcpy(). We strcpy() to copy a 48 byte buffers into a 49 byte buffers. So at best the last byte has leaked information, or maybe there is an overflow? Anyway, this patch closes the information leaks by zeroing the memory and the calls to strlcpy() prevent overflows.

I'm trying to generate a <set> of <book>s in docbook for wireless to link together all the cfg80211 and mac80211 documentation. However, docbook will generate "re01.html" anew for each book for the first <refentry>, presumably due to a bug in the stylesheets.

Fix this leftover TODO from the cfg80211 conversion by doing a scan if cfg80211 didn't pass in the BSSID for us. Since the scan code uses so much of the cfg80211_scan_request structure to build up the firmware command, we just fake one when the scan request is triggered internally.

2010-08-05ext3: Fix dirtying of journalled buffers in data=journal modeJan Kara
In data=journal mode, we still use block_write_begin() to prepare page for writing. This function can occasionally mark buffer dirty which violates journalling assumptions - when a buffer is part of a transaction, it should be dirty and a buffer can be already part of a forget list of some transaction when block_write_begin() gets called. This violation of journalling assumptions then results in "JBD: Spotted dirty metadata buffer..." warnings. In fact, temporary dirtying the buffer while the page is still locked does not really cause problems to the journalling because we won't write the buffer until the page gets unlocked.
