67ed4161f6 [ALSA] sound - fix .iface field of mixer control elements

This patch changes .iface to SNDRV_CTL_ELEM_IFACE_MIXER whre _PCM or
_HWDEP was used in controls that are not associated with a specific PCM
(sub)stream or hwdep device, and changes some controls that got
inconsitent .iface values due to copy+paste errors.  Furthermore, it
makes sure that all control that do use _PCM or _HWDEP use the correct
number in the .device field.

4dcef52400 [PATCH] v4l: oopsfix for BTTV on badly behaved PCI chipsets
no_overlay bttv parameter implemented to fix OOPS on some PCI chipsets
(like some VIA) with these behaviors:

1) If pci_quicks does identify the chip as having troubles to
   handle PCI2PCI transfers, no_overlay defaults to 1. The user may force
   it to 0, to reenable (not recommended).

2) For newer chipsets not blacklisted, no_overlay=1 is provided as a
   workaround until PCI chipset included on /drivers/pci/quirks.c

fd3113e84e [PATCH] V4L: Miscellaneous fixes
- Fixed some bttv card numbers.

- BTTV and SAA7134 version numbers incremented to reflect changes.

- pci_dma_supported() is called after pci_set_dma_mask() which
  already did check that for us. This patch removes the unneeded call to
  pci_dma_supported() at bttv-driver.c

- Ensure a sufficient I2C bus idle time between 2 messages for
  saa7134-i2c.c

- It is important to write at first to MO_GP3_IO for cx88-tvaudio.c

- Use try_to_freeze() instead of refrigerator at msp3400.c

- Recognizing the MFPE05-2 Tuner at tveeprom.c

- Add new parameter to help identify radio chipsets at tuner module:
  show_i2c=1 will show 16 reading bytes from detected tuners.

- BTTV does generate some Unimplemented IOCTL log at tuner module:
  0x40046d11(dir=1,tp=0x6d,nr=17,sz=4) means that it is sending
  MSP3400 calls to non-msp3400 tuners. Warning eliminated.
  VIDIOSAUDIO is also called, so debug messages updated. It is still
  requiring IOCTL implementation.

- Added two more tuners.

- Add support for the SVideo input on the GDI Black Gold.

0eeca28300 [PATCH] inotify
inotify is intended to correct the deficiencies of dnotify, particularly
its inability to scale and its terrible user interface:

        * dnotify requires the opening of one fd per each directory
          that you intend to watch. This quickly results in too many
          open files and pins removable media, preventing unmount.
        * dnotify is directory-based. You only learn about changes to
          directories. Sure, a change to a file in a directory affects
          the directory, but you are then forced to keep a cache of
          stat structures.
        * dnotify's interface to user-space is awful.  Signals?

inotify provides a more usable, simple, powerful solution to file change
notification:

        * inotify's interface is a system call that returns a fd, not SIGIO.
	  You get a single fd, which is select()-able.
        * inotify has an event that says "the filesystem that the item
          you were watching is on was unmounted."
        * inotify can watch directories or files.

Inotify is currently used by Beagle (a desktop search infrastructure),
Gamin (a FAM replacement), and other projects.

See Documentation/filesystems/inotify.txt.

This is a change to the trace format which is not fully compatible.
A parser has to look at the data length word now. If that word is
a character like 's', read setup packet before proceeding with data.
I decided not to bump the API tag for this because not many such
parsers exist at this point.

The I2C stack has long had "id" fields, of rather dubious utility, in
many data structures.  This removes mention of one of them from the
documentation about how to write an I2C driver, so that only drivers
that really need to use them (probably old/legacy code) will have any
reason to use this field.

200803dfe4 [PATCH] irqpoll
Anyone reporting a stuck IRQ should try these options.  Its effectiveness
varies we've found in the Fedora case.  Quite a few systems with misdescribed
IRQ routing just work when you use irqpoll.  It also fixes up the VIA systems
although thats now fixed with the VIA quirk (which we could just make default
as its what Redmond OS does but Linus didn't like it historically).

A small number of systems have jammed IRQ sources or misdescribes that cause
an IRQ that we have no handler registered anywhere for.  In those cases it
doesn't help.

120bb4246a [PATCH] PCI Allow OutOfRange PIRQ table address
I updated this to remove unnecessary variable initialization, make
check_routing be inline only and not __init, switch to strtoul, and
formatting fixes as per Randy Dunlap's recommendations.

I updated this to change pirq_table_addr to a long, and to add a warning
msg if the PIRQ table wasn't found at the specified address, as per thread
with Matthew Wilcox.

In our hardware situation, the BIOS is unable to store or generate it's PIRQ
table in the F0000h-100000h standard range. This patch adds a pci kernel
parameter, pirqaddr to allow the bootloader (or BIOS based loader) to inform
the kernel where the PIRQ table got stored. A beneficial side-effect is that,
if one's BIOS uses a static address each time for it's PIRQ table, then
pirqaddr can be used to avoid the $pirq search through that address block each
time at boot for normal PIRQ BIOSes.

ba6d2377c8 NTFS: Fix a nasty deadlock that appeared in recent kernels.
The situation: VFS inode X on a mounted ntfs volume is dirty.  For
      same inode X, the ntfs_inode is dirty and thus corresponding on-disk
      inode, i.e. mft record, which is in a dirty PAGE_CACHE_PAGE belonging
      to the table of inodes, i.e. $MFT, inode 0.
      What happens:
      Process 1: sys_sync()/umount()/whatever...  calls
      __sync_single_inode() for $MFT -> do_writepages() -> write_page for
      the dirty page containing the on-disk inode X, the page is now locked
      -> ntfs_write_mst_block() which clears PageUptodate() on the page to
      prevent anyone else getting hold of it whilst it does the write out.
      This is necessary as the on-disk inode needs "fixups" applied before
      the write to disk which are removed again after the write and
      PageUptodate is then set again.  It then analyses the page looking
      for dirty on-disk inodes and when it finds one it calls
      ntfs_may_write_mft_record() to see if it is safe to write this
      on-disk inode.  This then calls ilookup5() to check if the
      corresponding VFS inode is in icache().  This in turn calls ifind()
      which waits on the inode lock via wait_on_inode whilst holding the
      global inode_lock.
      Process 2: pdflush results in a call to __sync_single_inode for the
      same VFS inode X on the ntfs volume.  This locks the inode (I_LOCK)
      then calls write-inode -> ntfs_write_inode -> map_mft_record() ->
      read_cache_page() for the page (in page cache of table of inodes
      $MFT, inode 0) containing the on-disk inode.  This page has
      PageUptodate() clear because of Process 1 (see above) so
      read_cache_page() blocks when it tries to take the page lock for the
      page so it can call ntfs_read_page().
      Thus Process 1 is holding the page lock on the page containing the
      on-disk inode X and it is waiting on the inode X to be unlocked in
      ifind() so it can write the page out and then unlock the page.
      And Process 2 is holding the inode lock on inode X and is waiting for
      the page to be unlocked so it can call ntfs_readpage() or discover
      that Process 1 set PageUptodate() again and use the page.
      Thus we have a deadlock due to ifind() waiting on the inode lock.
      The solution: The fix is to use the newly introduced
      ilookup5_nowait() which does not wait on the inode's lock and hence
      avoids the deadlock.  This is safe as we do not care about the VFS
      inode and only use the fact that it is in the VFS inode cache and the
      fact that the vfs and ntfs inodes are one struct in memory to find
      the ntfs inode in memory if present.  Also, the ntfs inode has its
      own locking so it does not matter if the vfs inode is locked.
