[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h

2007-02-14T16:09:54Z

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

[PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 9

2007-02-12T17:48:46Z

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to these shared resources. Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[ALSA] Fix possible invalid memory access in PCM core

2007-02-09T08:03:31Z

snd_internval_list() may access invalid memory in the case count = 0 is given. It shouldn't be passed, but it'd better to make the code a bit more robust. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai Signed-off-by: Jaroslav Kysela

[ALSA] snd_hwdep_release() racefix

2007-02-09T08:03:24Z

snd_card_file_remove() can free the snd_card. Touch hw->* only before calling snd_card_file_remove(). Unrelated: Allow hwdep devices not to have own ops.release(); Signed-off-by: Karsten Wiese Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai Signed-off-by: Jaroslav Kysela

[ALSA] make sound/core/control.c:snd_ctl_new() static

2007-02-09T08:01:40Z

Now that everyone uses snd_ctl_new1() and noone is using snd_ctl_new() anymore, we can make it static. Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai Signed-off-by: Jaroslav Kysela
