2005-11-07[PATCH] superhyway: multiple block support and VCR reworkPaul Mundt
This extends the API somewhat to allow for platform-specific VCR reading and writing. Some platforms (like SH4-202) implement the VCR in a split VCRL and VCRH, but end up being in reverse order or have other quirks that need to be dealt with, so we add a set of superhyway_ops per-bus to accomodate this. We also have to extend the per-device resources somewhat, as some devices now conveniently split control and data blocks. So we allow a platform to register its set of SuperHyway devices via superhyway_add_devices() with the control block always ordered as the first resource (as this is the one that userspace cares about).

2005-11-07[PATCH] 3c59x: enable use of memory-mapped PCI I/OJohn W. Linville
Add capability for 3c59x driver to use memory-mapped PCI I/O resources. This may improve performance for those devices so equipped. This will be the default behaviour for IS_CYCLONE and IS_TORNADO devices. Additionally, it can be enabled/disabled individually for up to MAX_UNITS number of devices via the use_mmio module option or for all units via the global_use_mmio option. The use_mmio option overrides the global_use_mmio option for those devices specified. Signed-off-by: John W.

2005-11-05[PATCH] Set the vga cursor even when hiddenSamuel Thibault
Some visually impaired people use hardware devices which directly read the vga screen. When newt for instance asks to hide the cursor for better visual aspect, the kernel puts the vga cursor out of the screen, so that the cursor position can't be read by the hardware device. This is a great loss for such people. Here is a patch which uses the same technique as CUR_NONE for hiding the cursor while still moving it. Mario, you should apply it to the speakup kernel for access floppies asap. I'll submit a 2.4 patch too. Signed-off-by: samuel.thibault@ens-lyon.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-11-05[PATCH] phy address mask support for generic phy layerMatt Porter
Adds a phy_mask field to struct mii_bus and uses it. This field indicates each phy address to be ignored when probing the mdio bus. This support is needed for the fs_enet and ibm_emac drivers to be converted to the generic phy layer among other drivers. Many systems lock up on probing certain phy addresses or probing doesn't return 0xffff when nothing is found at the address. A new driver I'm working on also makes use of this mask.

2005-11-05[PATCH] pcnet32: Prevent hang with 79c976Don Fry
Some boards using the 79c976 pcnet32 chip will hang the system if the ethtool --register-dump is performed with the device operational. The request to read bcr30 is retried by the PCI device infinitely without returning data, hanging the system. Tested ia32 and ppc64.

This patch is a better fix for Allied Telesyn 2700/2701 FX boards than the change made in early January this year. It allows the user to select the speed/duplex via module_param, but if no selection is made, forces the speed to 100 FD. It fixes both Bugzilla bugs 2669 and 4551.

Added comment that the caller of pcnet32_alloc_ring must call pcnet32_free_ring on error, to avoid leak. Tested ia32 by forcing allocation errors.

2005-11-05[PATCH] S2io: Multi buffer mode supportAnanda Raju
Hi, This patch provides dynamic two buffer-mode and 3 buffer-mode options. Previously 2 buffer-mode was compilation option. Now with this patch applied one can load driver in 2 buffer-mode with module-load parameter ie. #insmod s2io.ko rx_ring_mode=2 This patch also provides 3 buffer-mode which provides header separation functionality. In 3 buffer-mode skb->data will have L2/L3/L4 headers and "skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list->data" will have have L4 payload. one can load driver in 3 buffer-mode with same above module-load parameter ie. #insmod s2io.ko rx_ring_mode=3 Please review the patch.

2005-11-05[SCSI] sd: Fix refcountingAlan Stern
Currently the driver takes a reference only for requests coming by way of the gendisk, not for requests coming by way of the struct device or struct scsi_device. Such requests can arrive in the rescan, flush, and shutdown pathways. The patch also makes the scsi_disk keep a reference to the underlying scsi_device, and it erases the scsi_device's pointer to the scsi_disk when the scsi_device is removed (since the pointer should no longer be used).

2005-11-04[PATCH] nvidiafb: Geforce 7800 series support addedCalin A. Culianu
This adds support for the Nvidia Geforce 7800 series of cards to the nvidiafb framebuffer driver. All it does is add the PCI device id for the 7800, 7800 GTX, 7800 GO, and 7800 GTX GO cards to the module device table for the nvidiafb.ko driver, so that nvidiafb.ko will actually work on these cards. I also added the relevant PCI device ids to linux/pci_ids.h I tested it on my 7800 GTX here and it works like a charm. I now can get framebuffer support on this card! Woo hoo!!
