[PATCH 5/9] drivers/spi: Drop unnecessary null test
From: Julia Lawall <julia(a)diku.dk> list_for_each_entry binds its first argument to a non-null value, and thus any null test on the value of that argument is superfluous.

[PATCH 1/2] block, partition: add partition_meta_info to hd_struct
This changes adds a partition_meta_info struct which itself contains a union of structures that provide partition table specific metadata. This change leaves the union empty. The subsequent patch includes an implementation for CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION-based metadata. Signed-off-by: Will Drewry <wad(a)chromium.org> -... 3 Aug 2010 18:03

[PATCH 2/2] genhd, efi: add efi partition metadata to hd_structs
This change extends the partition_meta_info structure to support EFI GPT-specific metadata and ensures that data is copied in on partition scanning. Adding this information would make it possible to identify a partition by GUID using something like disk_part_iter_*(), calls that make hd_struct accessible, or eve... 3 Aug 2010 18:03

[PATCH] isofs: Fix lseek() to position beyond 4 GB
isofs supports files larger than 4 GB by using multi-extent files. However an lseek() to a position beyond 4 GB in such a file will fail with EINVAL, because s_maxbytes in the isofs superblock is initialized to 2^32-1, and generic_file_llseek() checks against that value. I therefore suggest increasing the value ... 3 Aug 2010 18:03
