Hi all,
Changes since 20090311:
The nfs tree gained a build failure so I have used the version from
next-20090311.
The xfs tree still has a build failure and so is still the version from
next-20090306.
The sound tree lost a conflict.
The md tree still has a build failure and so is still the version from
next-20090306.
The ttydev tree gained a conflict against the usb.current tree.
The trivial tree gained a conflict against Linus' tree.
The driver-core tree lost a build failure.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have created today's linux-next tree at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sfr/linux-next.git
(patches at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/sfr/linux-next/). If you
are tracking the linux-next tree using git, you should not use "git pull"
to do so as that will try to merge the new linux-next release with the
old one. You should use "git fetch" as mentioned in the FAQ on the wiki
(see below).
You can see which trees have been included by looking in the Next/Trees
file in the source. There are also quilt-import.log and merge.log files
in the Next directory. Between each merge, the tree was built with
a ppc64_defconfig for powerpc and an allmodconfig for x86_64. After the
final fixups (if any), it is also built with powerpc allnoconfig (32 and
64 bit), ppc44x_defconfig and allyesconfig (minus
CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES) and i386, sparc and sparc64 defconfig.
These builds also have CONFIG_ENABLE_WARN_DEPRECATED,
CONFIG_ENABLE_MUST_CHECK and CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO disabled when necessary.
Below is a summary of the state of the merge.
We are up to 133 trees (counting Linus' and 18 trees of patches pending for
Linus' tree), more are welcome (even if they are currently empty).
Thanks to those who have contributed, and to those who haven't, please do.
Status of my local build tests will be at
http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/linux-next . If maintainers want to give
advice about cross compilers/configs that work, we are always open to add
more builds.
Thanks to Jan Dittmer for adding the linux-next tree to his build tests
at http://l4x.org/k/ , the guys at http://test.kernel.org/ and Randy
Dunlap for doing many randconfig builds.
There is a wiki covering stuff to do with linux-next at
http://linux.f-seidel.de/linux-next/pmwiki/ . Thanks to Frank Seidel.

Hello!
On my x200 some acpi stuff seems to kernel panic the notebook.
Screenshot (4.1MiB) can be found at
http://home.schottelius.org/~nico/unix/linux/kernel/next-20090312-x200-kernel-panic.jpeg
Sincerly,
Nico

Subject: [PATCH] tty-fix-mismatch-in-lookup-han
The lookup methods return NULL or a pointer. The caller expects an ERR_PTR.
It seems to make sense to just use NULL and return -ENODEV here as it keeps
the code simple and clean and the way it always used to work (effectively)
before the restructure
Problem noticed by Jiri Slaby.

It seems that fixing IS_ERR() check uncovered some underlying problem
since we are later checking for tty == NULL in __tty_open().
The following patch fixes the issue for me (Alan, feel free to merge
it back into your tty-fix-mismatch-in-lookup-han patch or replace by
a more complete __tty_open() reorganization):
From: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <[email protected]>
Subject: [PATCH] tty: fix __tty_open()
On tty_driver_lookup_tty() failure __tty_open() should continue
instead of returning an error, fix it.
Also update tty_driver_lookup_tty() documentation while at it.

GAK thanks - I'll sort that mess out monday.
Stephen: I've dropped this patch out and pushed a revised tree as well so
it doesn't block other folks.
