2009-11-02Revert "ext4: Remove journal_checksum mount option and enable it by default"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit d0646f7b636d067d715fab52a2ba9c6f0f46b0d7, as requested by Eric Sandeen. It can basically cause an ext4 filesystem to miss recovery (and thus get mounted with errors) if the journal checksum does not match. Quoth Eric: "My hand-wavy hunch about what is happening is that we're finding a bad checksum on the last partially-written transaction, which is not surprising, but if we have a wrapped log and we're doing the initial scan for head/tail, and we abort scanning on that bad checksum, then we are essentially running an unrecovered filesystem. But that's hand-wavy and I need to go look at the code. We lived without journal checksums on by default until now, and at this point they're doing more harm than good, so we should revert the default-changing commit until we can fix it and do some good power-fail testing with the fixes in place." See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14354 for all the gory details.

Rusty, commit 3ca4f5ca73057a617f9444a91022d7127041970a virtio: add virtio IDs file moved all device IDs into a single file. While the change itself is a very good one, it can break userspace applications. For example if a userspace tool wanted to get the ID of virtio_net it used to include virtio_net.h. This does no longer work, since virtio_net.h does not include virtio_ids.h. This patch moves all "#include <linux/virtio_ids.h>" from the C files into the header files, making the header files compatible with the old ones. In addition, this patch exports virtio_ids.h to userspace.

On FSC laptops, the sound gets muted gradually when the volume is chnaged. This is due to the wrong volume-knob widget setup. The delta bit (bit 7) shouldn't be set for these devices. This patch adds a new quirk to set the value 0x7f to the widget 0x24 instead of 0xff.

2009-10-08cgroups: update documentation of cgroups tasks and procs filesPaul Menage
Update documentation of cgroups tasks and procs files Document the cgroup.procs file. Clarify the semantics of the cgroup.procs and tasks files. Although the current cgroup.procs interface returns a sorted and uniqified list of pids, potential future performance enhancements could result in those properties being removed - explicitly document this aspect of the API. There are no existing users of cgroup.procs, so compatibility isn't an issue. There are users of the "tasks" file, but none that would appear to break in the event of the sorted property being broken. The standard "libcpuset" explicitly sorts the results of reading from the tasks file, and "libcg" and other users don't appear to care about ordering.

2009-10-08ksm: more on default valuesHugh Dickins
Adjust the max_kernel_pages default to a quarter of totalram_pages, instead of nr_free_buffer_pages() / 4: the KSM pages themselves come from highmem, and even on a 16GB PAE machine, 4GB of KSM pages would only be pinning 32MB of lowmem with their rmap_items, so no need for the more obscure calculation (nor for its own special init function). There is no way for the user to switch KSM on if CONFIG_SYSFS is not enabled, so in that case default run to KSM_RUN_MERGE. Update KSM Documentation and Kconfig to reflect the new defaults.
