  o ia64: Mark access_ok() as likely to succeed (as is done in x86 tree)
  o ia64: Fix efi_mem_type() and efi_mem_attributes() to avoid potential underflows.  In my case, the underflows occurred with the first memory descriptor which got trimmed down to a size of 0.

  o [XFS] Add a stack trace to _xfs_force_shutdown
  o [XFS] Fix test for large sector_t when finding max file offset
  o [XFS] Use i_size_read/i_size_write semantics from 2.6 kernel to reduce 2.4/2.6 differences in xfs

Glen Overby:
  o [XFS] A problem was found with the debug code in xlog_state_do_callback.  At the end of processing all log buffers that can be processed, there is a (debug only) double-check to make sure that log buffers with completed I/O don't get marooned when the function completes.  The check only needs to go to the first buffer that will cause an I/O completion, that has not completed.  The loop doesn't stop a WANT_SYNC state buffer is found, but it should.
  o [XFS] xfs_dir2_node_addname_int had reminants of an old block placement algorithm in it.  The old algorithm appeared to look for the first place to put a new data block, and thus a new freespace block (this is where the 'foundindex' variable came from).  However, new space in a directory is always added at the lowest file offset as determined by the extent list.  So this stuff is never used.

Keith Owens:
  o ia64: fix offsets.h generation bootstrap problem
  o ia64: mca_asm.h documentation fixes
  o ia64: Trivial fixes for correct field type in formats.  prfunc_t does not include attribute format so gcc does not pick these up automatically.

  o ia64: print header from INIT records
  o ia64: fix comment typo (sal.h)
  o ia64: Clean up kernel salinfo state checking

  o [XFS] Fix a compiler warning, sync_fs returns a value
  o [XFS] Fix a race condition in async pagebuf IO completion, by moving blk queue manipulation down into pagebuf.  Fix some busted comments in page_buf.h, use a more descriptive name for __pagebuf_iorequest
  o [XFS] Use the rounded down size value for all growfs calculations, else the last AG can be updated incorrectly
  o [XFS] Fix a harmless typo - we were using a pagebuf flag not a bmap flag here; fortunately they have the same value (2)
  o [XFS] Tweak last dabuf fix, suggested by Steve, no longer uses bitfields but uchars instead
  o [XFS] Fix a case where we could issue an unwritten extent buffer for IO without it being locked - an instant BUG trigger in the block layer
  o [XFS] Alternate, cleaner fix for the ENOSPC/ACL lookup problem
  o [XFS] Automatically set logbsize for larger stripe units
  o [XFS] Add inode64 mount option; fix case where growfs can push 32 bit inodes into 64 bit space accidentally - both changes originally from IRIX

  o [XFS] Implement several additional inode flags - immutable, append-only, etc; contributed by Ethan Benson
  o [XFS] Some tweaks to the additional inode flags, suggested by Ethan
  o [XFS] Accidentally switched some debug code off, reenable it
  o [XFS] Allow syncing the types header up more easily with userspace
  o [XFS] Make debug code _exactly_ how it used to be to save on tree merging
  o [XFS] Change writepage code so that we mark a page uptodate if all of its buffers are uptodate, and we are not doing a partial page write
  o [XFS] Remove xfs_attr_fetch.c - the one routine was a copy of another, so instead of fixing a bug in two places I merged the two routines
  o [XFS] Use the same name for a function here as in the 2.5/2.6 tree
  o [XFS] Use xfs_dev_t size rather than dev_t size in xfs_attr_fork initialization
  o [XFS] Rename _inode_init_once to __inode_init_once to follow the kernel naming convention a bit more closely
  o [XFS] Fix a broken interaction between a buffered read into an unwritten extent and a direct write
  o [XFS] Clean up inode revalidation code slightly
  o [XFS] Fix up pointers in diagnostics, print using %p not %x for 64 bit platforms

  o [XFS] Fix compiler warning after change to xfs_ioctl interface
  o [XFS] Use an xfs_ino_t to hold the result of inode extraction from a handle, not a possibly 32-bit number
  o [XFS] final round of code cleanup, now using 3-clause-bsd in these headers
  o [XFS] Fix inode btree lookup code precision problem with large allocation groups
  o [XFS] Add some IO path tracing, move inval_cached_pages to a better home to help
  o [XFS] Fix ktrace code - dont build unilaterally, and do earlier init for pagebuf use
  o [XFS] Fix log tracing code so it is independent of DEBUG like other traces
  o [XFS] Add back xfsidbg tracing code, remove ktrace<->debug dependency
  o [XFS] Fix build fallout from reordering xfsidbg headers for tracing fixes
  o [XFS] Rename the vnode tracing macro to be consistent with the other trace code
  o [XFS] Enable tracing in the quota code if requested
  o [XFS] Fix exports for tracing symbol access in idbg code
  o [XFS] When tracing extended attribute calls, only access the buffer when it exists
  o [XFS] Fix build with tracing enabled, couple of portability macros, move externs into headers
  o [XFS] Enable the tracing options in XFS Makefiles
  o [XFS] Fix compile warning on 64 bit platforms
  o [XFS] Fix compiler warning when building on 2.4.21 kernels
  o [XFS] Dont build objects which are not linked into the kernel ever
  o [XFS] Dump the pagebuf locked field for debugging purposes
  o [XFS] Fix warnings when tracing enabled on 64 bit platforms
  o [XFS] Fix pagebuf page locking problems for blocksizes smaller than the pagesize
  o [XFS] Fix a supplemental issue introduced by the last small blocksize locking fix; this would manifest itself as a second unlock_page call on an already unlocked page
  o [XFS] Fix a deadlock while writing when low on free space

  o [XFS] Add the noikeep mount option, make ikeep the default for now
  o [XFS] Use vnode timespec modifiers for atime/mtime/ctime, keeps last code hunk in sync

Russell Cattelan:
  o [XFS] Fix some inconsistent types
  o [XFS] Rework pagebuf_delwri_flush to be list safe
  o [XFS] Fix one more fsid_t type
  o [XFS] Clean up fsid_t abuses in dmapi
  o [XFS] Since we now have embeding trees and XFS has to support LBS which typically 1 version back from the XFS TOT tree add support  for 2.4.22 with and #if KERNEL_VERSION
  o [XFS] Fix from Christoph

Stephen Lord:
  o [XFS] do not put 0x in front of a decimal number, its confusing
  o [XFS] fix up xfs_lowbit's use of ffs
  o [XFS] fix build for gcc 3.2
  o [XFS] Make xfs_ichgtime call mark_inode_dirty_sync instead of mark_inode_dirty makes the just the inode look dirty, and not the inode and the data.
  o [XFS] remove an impossible code path from mkdir and link paths, spotted by Al Viro.
  o [XFS] Switch pagebuf hashing to be based on the block_device address rather than the dev_t. Should give better distribution.
  o [XFS] remove dead function xfs_trans_iput
  o [XFS] Close some holes in the metadata flush logic used during unmount, make sure we have no pending I/O completion calls for metadata, and that we only keep hold of metadata buffers for I/O completion if we want to. Still not perfect, but better than it was.
  o [XFS] When calculating the number of pages to probe for an unwritten extent, use the size of the extent, not the page count of the pagebuf which is initialized to zero.
  o [XFS] Rework how xfs and the linux generic I/O code interoperate again to deal with deadlock issues between the i_sem and i_alloc_sem and the xfs IO lock.
  o [XFS] move unwritten extent conversion for O_DIRECT into the write thread and out of the I/O completion threads. This scales better.
  o [XFS] Code cleanup
  o [XFS] small cleanup
  o [XFS] fix the previous change which compiled by fluke, the conditional use of the i_alloc_sem was wrong. No actual change in the generated code for 2.4.22, there will be for older kernels though.
  o [XFS] fix up error unlock paths in xfs_write
  o [XFS] Implement deletion of inode clusters in XFS
  o [XFS] cleanup uio use some more
