linux-next: Tree for August 12
Hi all, As the merge window is open, please do not add 2.6.37 material to your linux-next included trees until after 2.6.36-rc1. Changes since 20100811: Linus' tree lost its build problems. The arm tree lost its conflicts. The cifs tree gained a build failure so I used the version from next-20100811. ... 12 Aug 2010 02:48

[PATCH] kconfig: fix warnings in fgets/fwrite usage
Add some helper functions that abort on failure, and change the fwrite and fget calls to use those. This should kill off all the ugly gcc warnings that some distros emit about ignoring return values due to usage of warn_unused_result attributes.

[PATCH] nfs: lookupcache coherence bugs in WCC update path (revised)
(Well, crud. I screwed up the previous diff and was missing a close-curly. This version actually compiles...) This patch fixes some coherence bugs in the NFS "dentry lookup cache". The NFS dentry lookup cache provides the nfs_force_lookup_revalidate() call to invalidate all cached dentries associated with an ... 12 Aug 2010 01:43

[PATCH] checkpatch: check for incorrect permissions
Throw an error when a source file has been given execute permissions using the mode change line present in git diffs. Also alow the filename matching to use the "diff" line in addition to the "+++" line, since the mode change lines appear before any "+++" lines.

[PATCH V2] [X86] Fix potential issue on memmove
From: root <root(a)glibc-nhm.localdomain> memmove allow source and destination address to be overlap, but no limitation for memcpy. So memmove use forward or backward copy mode to handle src > dest and dest > src cases respectively. However memcpy has not address overlap, it may use any copy mode theoretically.
