2007-08-09remove dubious legal statment from uio-howtoAlan Cox1-4/+0
UIO currently contains a rather dubious statement which wants removing. The actual questions around whether user space code that depends tightly on kernel GPL code designed to co-work with it are derivative works of the kernel is extremely complex, and since we don't have space for either a masters length essay on legal issues or need to start flamewars lets simply remove the comment and leave law to lawyers Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <tovalds@linux-foundation.org>

The procfs-guide claims that 'the parameter start doesn't seem to be used anywhere in the kernel'. This is out of date. In linux/fs/proc/generic.c we find a very nice description of the parameters to read_func. The appended patch replaces the bogus description with this (as far as I know) accurate one.

2006-12-01usb: writing_usb_driver free urb cleanupMariusz Kozlowski1-2/+1
Allright. As Greg KH suggested I split this big patch into smaller ones to make the changes easier to review. Having no better idea how to split that I split it on a 'patch per file' basis. All those patches clean redundant 'if' before usb_unlink/free/kill_urb(): if (urb) usb_free_urb(urb); /* unlink / free / kill */ I decided not to touch bigger 'if's like if (urb) { usb_kill_urb(urb); usb_free_urb(urb); urb = NULL; } as that would be probably too intrusive. One of patches also fixes drivers/usb/misc/auerswald.c memleak I found when digging the code. All those patches are against 2.6.19-rc4.
