[PATCH] AFS: Fix the module init error handling
Fix the module init error handling. There are a bunch of goto labels for aborting the init procedure at different points and just undoing what needs undoing - they aren't all in the right places, however. This can lead to an oops like the following: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 000... 6 Aug 2010 12:41

tomoyo-init (tomoyo-tools) results in kernel panic on kernel 2.6.35-git2/3
Hi, i just compiled the 2.6.35-git3 kernel on my computer using debian 64 bit as i did with all other kernels before. Booting the git2/3 kernel results in a kernel panic because of /sbin/tomoyo-init. No problem with the 2.6.35 kernel. I've to remane /sbin/tomoyo-init to boot the kernel. Now i purged tomoy... 11 Aug 2010 06:00

[GIT PULL] notification tree - try 37!
Here it is again! Another notification pull request! There is still future work to be done on notification, but nothing that I believe others would call blocking or functional. The work I plan to do includes: 1) Al has discussed the addition of a file_clone() call in the VFS which would eliminate my use of __... 6 Aug 2010 12:41

[PATCH] Fix init ordering of /dev/console vs callers of modprobe
Make /dev/console get initialised before any initialisation routine that invokes modprobe because if modprobe fails, it's going to want to open /dev/console, presumably to write an error message to. The problem with that is that if the /dev/console driver is not yet initialised, the chardev handler will call requ... 6 Aug 2010 12:41

[PATCH] usb: add device IDs for igotu to navman
Hi Greg, I recently bought a i-gotU USB GPS, and whilst hunting around for linux support discovered this post by you back in 2009: http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-usb/2009/3/12/5148644 Try the navman driver instead. You can either add the device id to the driver and rebuild it, or do this before ... 6 Aug 2010 12:41
