Subject: What's in linux1394-2.6.git?

Hi all,

I now rebased all linux1394-2.6.git branches onto v2.6.26.  Here is how
it looks like now and what I plan to get merged into mainline:


branch for-linus (based on v2.6.26)
===================================

Contains cleanups including bits of Big Kernel Lock related work and
Philippe's patch to include IR/IT DMA buffers of raw1394, video1394,
dv1394 in core dumps.  All of these patches have been seen on lkml and
linux1394-devel and have been in many -next kernels without problem. I
will send a pull request to Linus soon, maybe still today.

Alan Cox (1):
      ieee1394: raw1394: Push the BKL down into the driver ioctls

Philippe De Muyter (1):
      ieee1394: dump mmapped iso buffers in core files

Stefan Richter (7):
      ieee1394: reduce log noise about config ROM CRC errors
      ieee1394: video1394: reorder module init, prepare BKL removal
      firewire: implement broadcast_channel CSR for 1394a compliance
      firewire: remove unused struct members
      firewire: clean up some includes
      firewire: clean up fw_card reference counting
      firewire: don't respond to broadcast write requests

branch sbp2-spindown (based on v2.6.26)
=======================================

Contains a new device quirk handling in sd-mod and uses it for some
buggy SBP-2 disks.  Also changes the default setting of
manage_start_stop of all SBP-2 HDDs from off to on.  That is, disks will
now per default spun down if the system is suspended or shut down or if
sd-mod is unbound from a HDD.  This change is only done if the SBP-2
driver has exclusively logged in to a HDD (also the default mode), i.e.
the feature is not used in multiple initiator setups.

The patches have been seen on lkml, lsml, and linux1394-devel and have
been in many -next kernels without problem.  James has been polled for
ACK or NAK regarding the SCSI change a few times but I didn't get a
response.  I will nevertheless submit this for mainline merge ASAP but
in a pull request separate from the other for-linus patches.

branch for-next (based on for-linus)
====================================

Contains new patches which have not yet been in -next.  However, they
look like they could be merged even before 2.6.27-rc1 gets out.

Stefan Richter (5):
      firewire: fix race of bus reset with request transmission
      firewire: fully initialize fw_transaction before marking it pending
      firewire: small fw_fill_request cleanup
      firewire: warn on unfinished transactions during card removal
      Merge branch 'sbp2-spindown' into for-next

 3 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-)


branch master (based on for-next)
=================================

Contains an already very old fix and a small optimization.  The fix
still needs follow-up work; it trades a fix for potential but rare
kernel panic with not too rare but avoidable temporary connection loss.
I need to implement something to let the connection survive the
respective situations.

Stefan Richter (2):
      firewire: insist on successive self ID complete events
      firewire: unnecessary BM delay after generation rollover
