[PATCH 8/9] drivers/mmc: correct error-handling code

From: Julia Lawall sdhci_alloc_host returns an ERR_PTR value in an error case instead of NULL. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // @match exists@ expression x, E; statement S1, S2; @@ x = sdhci_alloc_host(...) ... w

[5200] ATA and (BAD) interrupts question

Hi all, I run linux 2.6.29.1 from kernel.org on a custom Freescale MPC5200B based board, which has a CF card attached to the 5200's ATA. The CF seems to run nicely, but I am somewhat confused by the interrupts reproted by the kernel. Immediately after the boot, /proc/interrupts reports (inter

[PATCH] [v2] prom_init: evaluate mem kernel parameter for early allocation

[PATCH/RFC] powerpc/mm: Cleanup handling of execute permission

This is an attempt at cleaning up a bit the way we handle execute permission on powerpc (again !). _PAGE_HWEXEC is gone, _PAGE_EXEC is now only defined by CPUs that can do something with it, and the myriad of #ifdef's in the I$/D$ coherency code is reduced to 2 cases that hopefully should cover ev

Question about tracking freescale patches for Linux

Hi Folks, Sorry if this question is out of place for this list -- if it is, please point me to the proper place for this sort of question. It just seems like this might be the best place to ask. I am looking at bunch of patches to the 2.6.25 kernel (primarily in the drivers) that are prov
