[PATCH] s390: dasd partition detection

2006-03-08T22:14:01+00:00

DASD allows to open a device as soon as gendisk is registered, which means the
device is a fake device (capacity=0) and we do know nothing about blocksize
and partitions at that point of time.  In case the device is opened by
someone, the bdev and inode creation is done with the fake device info and the
following partition detection code is just using the wrong data.

To avoid this modify the DASD state machine to make sure that the open is
rejected until the device analysis is either finished or an unformatted device
was detected.

[PATCH] partitions: Read Rio Karma partition table

2006-01-17T07:15:29+00:00

The Rio Karma portable MP3 player has its own proprietary partition table.

The partition layout is similar to a DOS boot sector but it begins at a
different offset and uses a different magic number (0xAB56 instead of
0xAA55).  Add support for it to enable mounting the device.

[ARM] Make Acorn partition types depend on ACORN_PARTITION

2006-01-09T14:15:14+00:00

balamurugan reported a problem where it was possible to have
the various Acorn partition types selected in the configuration,
but ACORN_PARTITION disabled.  Since ACORN_PARTITION controls
whether we build fs/partitions/acorn.c, this lead to undefined
references to the adfspart_check_TYPE symbols.

Fix this by making the Acorn partition type symbols depend on
ACORN_PARTITION.

[PATCH] s390: cleanup Kconfig

2006-01-06T16:33:53+00:00

Sanitize some s390 Kconfig options.  We have ARCH_S390, ARCH_S390X,
ARCH_S390_31, 64BIT, S390_SUPPORT and COMPAT.  Replace these 6 options by
S390, 64BIT and COMPAT.

[PATCH] Driver core: Make block devices create the proper symlink name

2006-01-05T00:18:09+00:00

Block devices need to add the block device name to the symlink they put
in the device directory, otherwise multiple symlinks of the same name
can be created.  This matches the class system, which works the same
way, we just forgot to convert block at the same time.

[PATCH] driver core: replace "hotplug" by "uevent"

2006-01-05T00:18:08+00:00

Leave the overloaded "hotplug" word to susbsystems which are handling
real devices. The driver core does not "plug" anything, it just exports
the state to userspace and generates events.

[SPARC]: introduce a SPARC Kconfig symbol

2005-12-23T07:09:54+00:00

Introduce a Kconfig symbol SPARC that is defined on both the sparc and
sparc64 architectures.

This symbol makes some dependencies more readable.
