      [PATCH] USB: URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag removed from the kernel · b375a049
      Alan Stern 提交于
      29 July 2005, Cambridge, MA:
      
      This afternoon Alan Stern submitted a patch to remove the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK
      flag from the Linux kernel.  Mr. Stern explained, "This flag is a relic
      from an earlier, less-well-designed system.  For over a year it hasn't
      been used for anything other than printing warning messages."
      
      An anonymous spokesman for the Linux kernel development community
      commented, "This is exactly the sort of thing we see happening all the
      time.  As the kernel evolves, support for old techniques and old code can
      be jettisoned and replaced by newer, better approaches.  Proprietary
      operating systems do not have the freedom or flexibility to change so
      quickly."
      
      Mr. Stern, a staff member at Harvard University's Rowland Institute who
      works on Linux only as a hobby, noted that the patch (labelled as548) did
      not update two files, keyspan.c and option.c, in the USB drivers' "serial"
      subdirectory.  "Those files need more extensive changes," he remarked.
      "They examine the status field of several URBs at times when they're not
      supposed to.  That will need to be fixed before the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag
      is removed."
      
      Greg Kroah-Hartman, the kernel maintainer responsible for overseeing all
      of Linux's USB drivers, did not respond to our inquiries or return our
      calls.  His only comment was "Applied, thanks."

      [BNX2]: Fix bug in irq handler and add prefetch · c921e4c4
      Michael Chan 提交于
      Fix bug in bnx2_interrupt() that caused an unnecessary register read.
      The BNX2_PCICFG_MISC_STATUS should only be read when the status tag
      has not changed.
      
      Add prefetch of the status block in bnx2_msi() similar to tg3_msi().
      The status block is not touched in bnx2_msi() and prefetching it will
      speed up bnx2_poll() that will run on the same CPU that received the
      MSI.
      
      Update version.
