2009-02-01net: add ARP notify option for devicesStephen Hemminger
This adds another inet device option to enable gratuitous ARP when device is brought up or address change. This is handy for clusters or virtualization.

2009-01-21dccp: Implement both feature-local and feature-remote Sequence Window featureGerrit Renker
This adds full support for local/remote Sequence Window feature, from which the * sequence-number-validity (W) and * acknowledgment-number-validity (W') windows derive as specified in RFC 4340, 7.5.3. Specifically, the following is contained in this patch: * integrated new socket fields into dccp_sk; * updated the update_gsr/gss routines with regard to these fields; * updated handler code: the Sequence Window feature is located at the TX side, so the local feature is meant if the handler-rx flag is false; * the initialisation of `rcv_wnd' in reqsk is removed, since - rcv_wnd is not used by the code anywhere; - sequence number checks are not done in the LISTEN state (cf. 7.5.3); - dccp_check_req checks the Ack number validity more rigorously; * the `struct dccp_minisock' became empty and is now removed.

2009-01-09filesystem freeze: add error handling of write_super_lockfs/unlockfsTakashi Sato
Currently, ext3 in mainline Linux doesn't have the freeze feature which suspends write requests. So, we cannot take a backup which keeps the filesystem's consistency with the storage device's features (snapshot and replication) while it is mounted. In many case, a commercial filesystem (e.g. VxFS) has the freeze feature and it would be used to get the consistent backup. If Linux's standard filesystem ext3 has the freeze feature, we can do it without a commercial filesystem. So I have implemented the ioctls of the freeze feature. I think we can take the consistent backup with the following steps. 1. Freeze the filesystem with the freeze ioctl. 2. Separate the replication volume or create the snapshot with the storage device's feature. 3. Unfreeze the filesystem with the unfreeze ioctl. 4. Take the backup from the separated replication volume or the snapshot. This patch: VFS: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that they can return an error. Rename write_super_lockfs and unlockfs of the super block operation freeze_fs and unfreeze_fs to avoid a confusion. ext3, ext4, xfs, gfs2, jfs: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that write_super_lockfs returns an error if needed, and unlockfs always returns 0. reiserfs: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that they always return 0 (success) to keep a current behavior.

2009-01-08regulator: Add basic DocBook manualMark Brown
Add a basic DocBook manual for the regulator API. This is much more skeletal than the existing text documentation, the main benefit is to provide a skeleton for automatic generation of a manual based on the kerneldoc for the API. Since large portions of the text are lifted from the existing text format documentation written by Liam Girdwood much of the credit belongs to him.

2009-01-08regulator: sysfs attribute reduction (v2)David Brownell
Clean up the sysfs interface to regulators by only exposing the attributes that can be properly displayed. For example: when a particular regulator method is needed to display the value, only create that attribute when that method exists. This cleaned-up interface is much more comprehensible. Most regulators only support a subset of the possible methods, so often more than half the attributes would be meaningless. Many "not defined" values are no longer necessary. (But handling of out-of-range values still looks a bit iffy.) Documentation is updated to reflect that few of the attributes are *always* present, and to briefly explain why a regulator may not have a given attribute. This adds object code, about a dozen bytes more than was removed by the preceding patch, but saves a bunch of per-regulator data associated with the now-removed attributes. So there's a net reduction in memory footprint. Signed-off-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Liam Girdwood <lrg@slimlogic.co.uk>

2009-01-08fix similar typos to successfullColy Li
When I review ocfs2 code, find there are 2 typos to "successfull". After doing grep "successfull " in kernel tree, 22 typos found totally -- great minds always think alike :) This patch fixes all the similar typos. Thanks for Randy's ack and comments.
