[PATCH] Fix condition for adding IDE or SCSI disk driver when MODULES=dep
The transition from old-style IDE to libata-based drivers means the new kernel may need different drivers from the running system. We already handle the change of controller driver correctly since we find driver modules via module aliases. ...

[patch] gdth: integer overflow in ioctl
gdth_ioctl_alloc() takes the size variable as an int. copy_from_user() takes the size variable as an unsigned long. gen.data_len and gen.sense_len are unsigned longs. On x86_64 longs are 64 bit and ints are 32 bit. We could pass in a very large ...

[patch] lpfc: change spin_lock_irq() to spin_lock()
In lpfc_cleanup_pending_mbox() we already have IRQs disabled so we don't need to disable them again. Also in lpfc_sli_intr_handler() there is a typo where it has spin_unlock_irq() instead of just spin_unlock(). Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter ...

Here's the big driver core merge for the .36 merge window. Nothing major here, lot of little things around the driver-core area. Biggest is the firmware code rework to make things simpler and the addition of a stable place to mount cgroupfs that ...

[PATCH 0/2] use q->prep_rq_fn for flush requests instead of q->prepare_flush_fn()
scsi-ml builds flush requests via q->prepare_flush_fn(), however, builds discard requests via q->prep_rq_fn. Using two different mechnisms for the similar requests (building commands in SCSI ULD) doesn't make sense. Handing both via ...

[PATCH, RFC] block: don't allocate a payload for discard request
Allocating a fixed payload for discard requests always was a horrible hack, and it's not coming to byte us when adding support for discard in DM/MD. So change the code to leave the allocation of a payload to the lowlevel driver. Unfortunately that ...
