b62df45169 UHCI: workaround for Asus motherboard
This patch (as798) adds a workaround to uhci-hcd.  At least one Asus
motherboard is wired in such a way that any device attached to a
suspended UHCI controller will prevent the system from entering
suspend-to-RAM by immediately waking it up.  The only way around the
problem is to turn the controller off instead of suspending it.

This fixes Bugzilla #6193.

6a4f1b4135 speedtch: "extended reach"
The speedtouch modem setup code was reverse engineered many years
ago from a prehistoric windows driver. Less ancient windows drivers,
even those from a few years ago, perform extra initialization steps
which this patch adds to the linux driver.  David Woodhouse observed
that this initialization along with the firmware bin/sachu3/zzzlp2.eni
from the driver at
http://www.speedtouch.co.uk/downloads/330/301/UK3012%20Extended.zip
improves line sync speeds by about 20%.  He provided the original
patch, which I've modified to use symbolic names (BMaxDSL, ModemMode,
ModemOption) rather than magic numbers.  These names may not seem like
much of an improvement (after all, what is "ModemOption" exactly?),
but they do have one big advantage: they are the names used in the
windows registry.  I've made them available as module parameters.
Thanks are due to Aurelio Arroyo, who noticed the relationship
between these magic numbers and the entries in Phonebook.ini.

Hi,

this patch does some cosmetic changes :
- dump firwmare version as soon as possible and export it on sysfs
- hint about wrong cmv/dsp
- Display a message to warn user when the modem is ready : it can help
  people to detect problems on the line without debug trace
- Fix wrong indent
- display modem type (pots/isdn)
- increase version number

Sep 30 17:34:57 sled kernel: cdc_acm: probe of 1-1.2:1.0 failed with error -22

Adding the patch below causes the probing section to be skipped, and the modem

04518bfe8e [PATCH] ISDN: fix drivers, by handling errors thrown by ->readstat()
This is a particularly ugly on-failure bug, possibly security, since the
lack of error handling here is covering up another class of bug: failure to
handle copy_to_user() return values.

The I4L API function ->readstat() returns an integer, and by looking at
several existing driver implementations, it is clear that a negative return
value was meant to indicate an error.

Given that several drivers already return a negative value indicating an
errno-style error, the current code would blindly accept that [negative]
value as a valid amount of bytes read.  Obvious damage ensues.

Correcting ->readstat() handling to properly notice errors fixes the
existing code to work correctly on error, and enables future patches to
more easily indicate errors during operation.

bd5349cfd2 [PATCH] Convert cpu hotplug notifiers to use raw_notifier instead of blocking_notifier
The use of blocking notifier by _cpu_up and _cpu_down in cpu.c has two
problem.

1/ An interaction with the workqueue notifier causes lockdep to spit a
   warning.

2/ A notifier could conceivable be added or removed while _cpu_up or
   _cpu_down are in process.  As each notifier is called twice (prepare
   then commit/abort) this could be unhealthy.

To fix to we simply take cpu_add_remove_lock while adding or removing
notifiers to/from the list.

This makes the 'blocking' usage unnecessary as all accesses to cpu_chain
are now protected by cpu_add_remove_lock.  So change "blocking" to "raw" in
all relevant places.  This fixes 1.

6a15f46c12 [PATCH] rtc: fix printk of 64-bit res on 32-bit platform
With 64-bit resources on 32-bit platforms, the resource address might be
larger than a void*.  Fix printk to work regardless of resource size.

eee44cca66 [PATCH] fs/partitions/check: add sysfs error handling
Handle errors thrown in disk_sysfs_symlinks(), and propagate back to
caller.

The callers and associated functions don't do a real good job of handling
kobject errors anyway (add_partition, register_disk, rescan_partitions), so
this should do until something better comes along.

58ff407bee [PATCH] Fix IO error reporting on fsync()
When IO error happens on metadata buffer, buffer is freed from memory and
later fsync() is called, filesystems like ext2 fail to report EIO.  We

solve the problem by introducing a pointer to associated address space into
the buffer_head.  When a buffer is removed from a list of metadata buffers
associated with an address space, IO error is transferred from the buffer to
the address space, so that fsync can later report it.
