Nathan Scott <nathans@sgi.com>:
  o [XFS] Fix an oversight in the mount option parsing code which would
    result in a kernel panic on certain option strings.
  o [XFS] Fix the handling of the realtime device on the mount path -
    this was broken a few weeks ago with the rework of the target
    device pointer between the xfs_mount and pb_target structures.
  o [XFS] Minor header reorg to get xfs_lrw.h back into line with the
    other linux headers.  Allows us to not repeat the xfs_stratcb
    declaration in several places.  Also rename linvfs_set_inode_ops to
    xfs_set_inodeops since its an auxillary routine not a linvfs
    method.
  o [XFS] Fix compile error from non-DMAPI enabled builds
  o [XFS] Fix xfs_da_node_split handling of dir/attr buffers for
    filesystems built with a directory block size larger than the
    filesystem (and hence attr) blocksize.  This does not affect
    filesystems built with default mkfs.xfs parameters, and only hits
    when a large number of attributes are set on an inode.
  o [XFS] The revalidate routine is now a local, static inline
    elsewhere, so no longer needs to be declared globally here.
  o [XFS] Fix a couple of issues on the error path when dealing with
    external devices (log/realtime).  path_init was missing the
    LOOKUP_POSITIVE flag, so it would fail to tell us if the file
    doesn't exist, there was a spot where we were returning the wrong
    signedness for the code, and when mount is failing, we can call
    into xfs_blkdev_put with a NULL pointer depending on which devices
    were initialised and which weren't.
  o [XFS] Fix compile error with XFS_BIG_FILESYSTEMS set

Neil Brown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>:
  o md: Misc little raid fixes
  o md: Fix assorted raid1 problems
  o md: Fix bug in raid5
  o md: Fix another two bug in raid5

  o kNFSd: Convert readlink to use a separate page for returning
    symlink contents
  o kNFSd: Make sure svc_process releases response even on error
  o Support latest NVRAM card from micromemory

  o PPC32: Increase max kernel size in boot wrapper, fix compile
    warnings
  o The patch below contains some minor updates to the bmac and mace
    ethernet drivers used on powermacs.  The bmac.c change is just to
    remove some compile warnings.  The mace.c change is to move an
    inline function definition to before the point where it is used.

Re: Linux v2.5.47

[Allan Duncan]

Two failures to build a kernel for me - 1 new, one old:

New - undefined refs if CONFIG_CRYPTO is not set.

Old - undefined refs if aout is a module - use a patch from 2.5.46
(ignore the dates, I just hacked the previous one for an offset of 495):

This is due to the ah and esp modules (and af_key soon).  We need to
either make these modules depend on CONFIG_CRYPTO or force CONFIG_CRYPTO
(plus the ipsec algorithms) when any of these modules selected.

This patch removed the header file but not the #include in the .c file
resulting in the following compile error:

Btw, here's a little headsup for all maintainers of scsi host adapter
drivers.  In 2.5.47 the detect and release methods of the Scsi_Host_Template
have become optional.  If you had an old pci driver with the following
loop in foo_detcect:

	while ((pdev = pci_find_device())) {
		[do basic setup]
		sdev = scsi_register();
		[do more setup]
	}

You can convert it easily into a new-style pci driver with the following
probe routine:

	[do basic setup]
	sdev = scsi_register();
	[do more setup]
	return scsi_add_host();

Similarly a new routine, scsi_remove_host exist to call at the end
of the remove routine.

The general rule so far is:  don't do hotplug - scsi code, especially
list handling, is racy as hell.  I'm not sure whether we'll have it
properly locked down and refcounted by 2.6, it's a lot of work left.

Very very nice. One question - what are the rules for the
scsi_remove_host callback with regards to a hotplug ?
