pd: don't check blk_execute_rq return value.

2017-04-20T18:16:10+00:00

The driver never sets req->errors, so blk_execute_rq will always return 0.

Fix typos and add the following to the scripts/spelling.txt:

  overide||override

While we are here, fix the doubled "address" in the touched line
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/regulator/ti-abb-regulator.txt.

Also, fix the comment block style in the touched hunks in
drivers/media/dvb-frontends/drx39xyj/drx_driver.h.

cdrom: Make device operations read-only

2017-02-14T15:29:56+00:00

Since function tables are a common target for attackers, it's best to keep
them in read-only memory. As such, this makes the CDROM device ops tables
const. This drops additionally n_minors, since it isn't used meaningfully,
and sets the only user of cdrom_dummy_generic_packet explicitly so the
variables can all be const.

Inspired by similar changes in grsecurity/PaX.

block: fold cmd_type into the REQ_OP_ space

2017-01-31T21:00:44+00:00

Instead of keeping two levels of indirection for requests types, fold it
all into the operations.  The little caveat here is that previously
cmd_type only applied to struct request, while the request and bio op
fields were set to plain REQ_OP_READ/WRITE even for passthrough
operations.

Instead this patch adds new REQ_OP_* for SCSI passthrough and driver
private requests, althought it has to add two for each so that we
can communicate the data in/out nature of the request.

block: make scsi_request and scsi ioctl support optional

2017-01-31T17:53:05+00:00

We only need this code to support scsi, ide, cciss and virtio.  And at
least for virtio it's a deprecated feature to start with.

This should shrink the kernel size for embedded device that only use,
say eMMC a bit.

Replace with globally

2016-12-24T19:46:01+00:00

This was entirely automated, using the script by Al:

  PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*'
  sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include !" \
        $(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h)

to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.
