[PATCH 1/1] staging: hv: Fix missing functions for net_device_ops (with detailed comments)
From: Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz(a)microsoft.com> Fix missing functions for net_device_ops. It's a bug when porting Linux IC from 2.6.27 to 2.6.32. In 2.6.27, the default functions for Ethernet, like eth_change_mtu(), were assigned by ether_setup(). But in 2.6.32, these function pointers moved to net_device_ops struc... 3 Aug 2010 15:51

[PATCH] davinci_emac: Fix use after free in davinci_emac_remove
free_netdev finally calls kfree which makes the contents of ndev and priv (private data contained in ndev) invalid. So iounmap should be called before free_netdev. Cc: David S.

rbd
Hi Andrew, Jens, We've posted rbd a few times before. Rbd provides a block device that stripes data over ceph's block layer (rados). Other than a few trivial bug fixes it hasn't changed much from our last post, and the latest version can be found on the rbd branch at git://ceph.newdream.net/git/ceph-client.git... 3 Aug 2010 15:51

[GIT PULL] xen-netfront driver updates for 2.6.36
Hi Dave, OK, let's try that again. Here's a git branch with some updates to the Xen netfront driver, which add a new "smartpoll" mode to the netfront backend protocol, which is basically equivalent to interrupt mitigation. This merges cleanly with current linux-next (it previously just had a small constifi... 3 Aug 2010 15:51

[GIT PULL] amd64_edac patchqueue for .36
[ Forgot to add LKML to CC ] Hi Linus, please pull the following patchqueue of mostly cleanups and fixes. On thing that stands out is the removal of EDAC's quirky polling mechanism in favor of using the MCE decoder notifier chain for non-fatal MCEs (of which CECCs are part of). Thus the out-of-tree oneliner ... 3 Aug 2010 14:45

[PATCH 0/5] KProbes support for MIPS
This patch set adds KProbs, JProbs and KRetProbes support for the MIPS archetecture. It was tested on a 64-bit big-endian kernel (Octeon), but should work equally well on 32-bit and little-endian as well. As you can see from the patches it is partially based on previous work by Sony and Himanshu Chauhan. Da... 3 Aug 2010 14:45
