not sleeping for every codec read/write but doing a short udelay and
a conditional reschedule has cut suspend+resume latency by about 1
second on my T60.
The patch also fixes the unexpected codec-connection errors that
happen more often in the new power-save mode:

unfortunately 32 bit apps don't see the joysticks on a 64 bit system.
this prevents one playing X-Plane (http://www.x-plane.com/) or other
32-bit games with joysticks.
this is a known issue, and already raised several times:
http://readlist.com/lists/vger.kernel.org/linux-kernel/28/144411.html
http://www.brettcsmith.org/wiki/wiki.cgi?action=browse&diff=1&id=OzyComputer/Joystick
unfortunately this is still not fixed in the mainline kernel.
it would be nice to have this fixed, so that people can play these games
without having to patch their kernel.
the following patch solves the problem on 2.6.22.

This reverts commit ac40532ef0b8649e6f7f83859ea0de1c4ed08a19, which gets
us back the original cleanup of 6f5391c283d7fdcf24bf40786ea79061919d1e1d.
It turns out that the bug that was triggered by that commit was
apparently not actually triggered by that commit at all, and just the
testing conditions had changed enough to make it appear to be due to it.
The real problem seems to have been found by Peter Osterlund:
"pktcdvd sets it [block device size] when opening the /dev/pktcdvd
device, but when the drive is later opened as /dev/scd0, there is
nothing that sets it back. (Btw, 40944 is possible if the disk is a
CDRW that was formatted with "cdrwtool -m 10236".)
The problem is that pktcdvd opens the cd device in non-blocking mode
when pktsetup is run, and doesn't close it again until pktsetup -d is
run. The effect is that if you meanwhile open the cd device,
blkdev.c:do_open() doesn't call bd_set_size() because
bdev->bd_openers is non-zero."
In particular, to repeat the bug (regardless of whether commit
6f5391c283d7fdcf24bf40786ea79061919d1e1d is applied or not):
" 1. Start with an empty drive.
2. pktsetup 0 /dev/scd0
3. Insert a CD containing an isofs filesystem.
4. mount /dev/pktcdvd/0 /mnt/tmp
5. umount /mnt/tmp
6. Press the eject button.
7. Insert a DVD containing a non-writable filesystem.
8. mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/tmp
9. find /mnt/tmp -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sha1sum >/dev/null
10. If the DVD contains data beyond the physical size of a CD, you
get I/O errors in the terminal, and dmesg reports lots of
"attempt to access beyond end of device" errors."
which in turn is because the nested open after the media change won't
cause the size to be set properly (because the original open still holds
the block device, and we only do the bd_set_size() when we don't have
other people holding the device open).
The proper fix for that is probably to just do something like
bdev->bd_inode->i_size = (loff_t)get_capacity(disk)<<9;
in fs/block_dev.c:do_open() even for the cases where we're not the
original opener (but *not* call bd_set_size(), since that will also
change the block size of the device).

The SCSI SRP transport class currently iterates over all children
devices of the host that is being removed in srp_remove_host(). However,
not all of those children were created by the SRP transport, and
removing them will cause corruption and an oops when their creator tries
to remove them.

The DLE handling in i4l-audio seems to be broken.
It produces spurious DLEs so asterisk 1.2.24 with chan_modem_i4l
gets irritated, the error message is:
"chan_modem_i4l.c:450 i4l_read: Value of escape is ^ (17)".
-> There shouldn't be a DLE-^.
If a spurious DLE-ETX occurs, the audio connection even dies.
I use a "AVM Fritz!PCI" isdn card.
I found two issues that only appear if ISDN_AUDIO_SKB_DLECOUNT(skb) > 0:
- The loop in isdn_tty.c:isdn_tty_try_read() doesn't escape a DLE if it's
the last character.
- The loop in isdn_common.c:isdn_readbchan_tty() doesn't copy its characters,
it only remembers the last one ("last = *p;").
Compare it with the loop in isdn_common.c:isdn_readbchan(), that *does*
copy them ("*cp++ = *p;") correctly.
The special handling of the "last" character made it more difficult.
I compared it to linux-2.4.19: There was no "last"-handling and both loops
did escape and copy all characters correctly.

The ISDN tty layer doesn't produce a 'NO CARRIER' message after hangup.
I suppose it broke when tty_buffer_flush() has been added to
tty_ldisc_flush() in the commit below.
For isdn_tty_modem_result(RESULT_NO_CARRIER..) the
message inserted via isdn_tty_at_cout() -> tty_insert_flip_char()
is flushed immediately by tty_ldisc_flush() -> tty_buffer_flush().
More annoyingly, the audio abort sequence DLE-ETX is also lost.
This patch fixes only active audio connections, because I assume that nobody
changes the line discipline for audio.
For non-audio connections the problem remains.
Maybe we can remove the tty_ldisc_flush() in isdn_tty_modem_result()
at all because it's done at tty_close?

When re-naming an interface, the previous secondary address
labels get lost e.g.
$> brctl addbr foo
$> ip addr add 192.168.0.1 dev foo
$> ip addr add 192.168.0.2 dev foo label foo:00
$> ip addr show dev foo | grep inet
inet 192.168.0.1/32 scope global foo
inet 192.168.0.2/32 scope global foo:00
$> ip link set foo name bar
$> ip addr show dev bar | grep inet
inet 192.168.0.1/32 scope global bar
inet 192.168.0.2/32 scope global bar:2
Turns out to be a simple thinko in inetdev_changename() - clearly we
want to look at the address label, rather than the device name, for
a suffix to retain.

Here's proposed fix for RX checksum handling in cassini; it affects
little-endian working with half-duplex gigabit, but obviously needs
testing on big-endian too.
The problem is, we need to convert checksum to fixed-endian *before*
correcting for (unstripped) FCS. On big-endian it won't matter
(conversion is no-op), on little-endian it will, but only if FCS is
not stripped by hardware; i.e. in half-duplex gigabit mode when
->crc_size is set.
cassini.c part is that fix, cassini.h one consists of trivial
endianness annotations. With that applied the sucker is endian-clean,
according to sparse.

The function x25_get_neigh increments a reference count. At the point of
the second goto out, the result of calling x25_get_neigh is only stored in
a local variable, and thus no one outside the function will be able to
decrease the reference count. Thus, x25_neigh_put should be called before
the return in this case.
The problem was found using the following semantic match.

NFSv4 file locking is currently completely broken since it doesn't respect
the OPEN sequencing when it is given an unconfirmed lock_owner and needs to
do an open_to_lock_owner. Worse: it breaks the sunrpc rules by doing a
GFP_KERNEL allocation inside an rpciod callback.
Fix is to preallocate the open seqid structure in nfs4_alloc_lockdata if we
see that the lock_owner is unconfirmed.
Then, in nfs4_lock_prepare() we wait for either the open_seqid, if
the lock_owner is still unconfirmed, or else fall back to waiting on the
standard lock_seqid.

A recent bug report:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9674
Was caused because the ULDs now set their own prep functions, but
don't necessarily reset the prep function back to the SCSI default
when they are removed. This leads to panics if commands are sent to
the device after the module is removed because the prep_fn is still
pointing to the old module code. The fix for this is to implement a
bus remove method that resets the prep_fn pointer correctly before
calling the ULD specific driver remove method.

When a delayed ACK representing two packets arrives, there are two RTT
samples available, one for each packet. The first (in order of seq
number) will be artificially long due to the delay waiting for the
second packet, the second will trigger the ACK and so will not itself
be delayed.
According to rfc1323, the SRTT used for RTO calculation should use the
first rtt, so receivers echo the timestamp from the first packet in
the delayed ack. For congestion control however, it seems measuring
delayed ack delay is not desirable as it varies independently of
congestion.
The patch below causes seq_rtt and last_ackt to be updated with any
available later packet rtts which should have less (and hopefully
zero) delack delay. The rtt value then gets passed to
ca_ops->pkts_acked().
Where TCP_CONG_RTT_STAMP was set, effort was made to supress RTTs from
within a TSO chunk (!fully_acked), using only the final ACK (which
includes any TSO delay) to generate RTTs. This patch removes these
checks so RTTs are passed for each ACK to ca_ops->pkts_acked().
For non-delay based congestion control (cubic, h-tcp), rtt is
sometimes used for rtt-scaling. In shortening the RTT, this may make
them a little less aggressive. Delay-based schemes (eg vegas, veno,
illinois) should get a cleaner, more accurate congestion signal,
particularly for small cwnds. The congestion control module can
potentially also filter out bad RTTs due to the delayed ack alarm by
looking at the associated cnt which (where delayed acking is in use)
should probably be 1 if the alarm went off or greater if the ACK was
triggered by a packet.

We're exporting an __init function, oops :-)
The core issue here is that add_preferred_console() is marked
as __init, this makes it impossible to invoke this thing from
a driver probe routine which is what the Sparc serial drivers
need to do.
There is no harm in dropping the __init marker. This code will
actually work properly when invoked from a modular driver,
except that init will probably not pick up the console change
without some other support code.
Then we can drop the __init from sunserial_console_match()
and we're no longer exporting an __init function to modules.

David Brownell pointed out a regression in my recent "Fix ip command
line processing" patch. It turns out to be a fairly blatant oversight on
my part whereby ic_enable is never set, and thus autoconfiguration is
never enabled. Clearly my testing was broken :-(
The solution that I have is to set ic_enable to 1 if we hit
ip_auto_config_setup(), which basically means that autoconfiguration is
activated unless told otherwise. I then flip ic_enable to 0 if ip=off,
ip=none, ip=::::::off or ip=::::::none using ic_proto_name();
The incremental patch is below, let me know if a non-incremental version
is prepared, as I did as for the original patch to be reverted pending a
fix.

It appears that some PCI-E bridges do the wrong thing in the presense of
CRS Software Visibility and MMCONFIG. In particular, it looks like an
ATI bridge (device ID 7936) will return 0001 in the vendor ID field of
any bridged devices indefinitely.
Not enabling CRS SV avoids the problem, and as we currently do not
really make good use of the feature anyway (we just time out rather than
do any threaded discovery as suggested by the CRS specs), we're better
off just not enabling it.
This should fix a slew of problem reports with random devices (generally
graphics adapters or fairly high-performance networking cards, since it
only affected PCI-E) not getting properly recognized on these AMD systems.
If we really want to use CRS-SV, we may end up eventually needing a
whitelist of systems where this should be enabled, along with some kind
of "pcibios_enable_crs()" query to call the system-specific code.

Fix a bug in the printing of the os-area magic numbers which assumed
that magic numbers were zero terminated strings. The magic numbers
are represented in memory as integers. If the os-area sections are
not initialized correctly they could contained random data that would
be printed to the display. Also unify the handling of header and db
magic numbers and make both of type array of u8.

Did not fix the reported issue. Apart from other weirdness this causes a
bad link between the TLB flushing logic and the quicklists. If there is
indeed an issue that an arch needs a tlb flush before free then the arch
code needs to set tlb->need_flush before calling quicklist_free.

Recently the documentation in Documentation/nfsroot.txt was
update to note that in fact ip=off and ip=::::::off as the
latter is ignored and the default (on) is used.
This was certainly a step in the direction of reducing confusion.
But it seems to me that the code ought to be fixed up so that
ip=::::::off actually turns off ip autoconfiguration.
This patch also notes more specifically that ip=on (aka ip=::::::on)
is the default.
