The SUN_AURORA driver:
- has been marked as BROKEN for more than two years and
- is still marked as BROKEN.

Drivers that had been marked as BROKEN for such a long time seem to be
unlikely to be revived in the forseeable future.

But if anyone wants to ever revive this driver, the code is still
present in the older kernel releases.

This patch (as859) makes the default USB autosuspend delay a module
parameter of usbcore.  By setting the delay value at boot time, users
will be able to prevent the system from autosuspending devices which
for some reason can't handle it.

The patch also stores the autosuspend delay as a per-device value.  A
later patch will allow the user to change the value, tailoring the
delay for each individual device.  A delay value of 0 will prevent
autosuspend.

simple_prepare_write leaks uninitialised kernel data.  This happens because
the it leaves an uninitialised "hole" over the part of the page that the
write is expected to go to.  This is fine, but it then marks the page
uptodate, which means a concurrent read can come in and copy the
uninitialised memory into userspace before it written to.

Fix it by simply marking it uptodate in simple_commit_write instead, after
the hole has been filled in.  This could theoretically break an fs that
uses simple_prepare_write and not simple_commit_write, and that relies on
the incorrect simple_prepare_write behaviour.  Luckily, none of those
exists in the tree.

While cacheing is generally frowned upon in the 9p world, it has its
place -- particularly in situations where the remote file system is
exclusive and/or read-only.  The vacfs views of venti content addressable
store are a real-world instance of such a situation.  To facilitate higher
performance for these workloads (and eventually use the fscache patches),
we have enabled a "loose" cache mode which does not attempt to maintain
any form of consistency on the page-cache or dcache.  This results in over
two orders of magnitude performance improvement for cacheable block reads
in the Bonnie benchmark.  The more aggressive use of the dcache also seems
to improve metadata operational performance.

Marin made a good comment in his email to me:
| mydriver_probe() is _always_ executed, while mydriver_remove() is not.
| See: include/linux/init.h

Which says:
/* Functions marked as __devexit may be discarded at kernel link time, depending
   on config options.  Newer versions of binutils detect references from
   retained sections to discarded sections and flag an error.  Pointers to
   __devexit functions must use __devexit_p(function_name), the wrapper will
   insert either the function_name or NULL, depending on the config options.
