9e00e48626 [PATCH] DVICO Fusion DVB-T1 Tuner (LG-Z201) fix
It is a small modification to the table that defines the way that the
LG-Z201 tuner is controlled for the DVICO Fusion DVB-T1 tuner card.

I believe that a mistake was made when the dvb tuner code was reorganised
(to use a generic table for the tuner information instead of inline code)
and as a result, the DVICO card doesn't tune properly.

The modification I have made to the table makes it behave like it did with
the old inline tuner code that worked.  The patch is on top of the 2.6.12
kernel.

ebb81fdb3d [PATCH] tpm: Support for Infineon TPM
This patch provides a new device driver for the Infineon SLD 9630 TT Trusted
Platform Module (TPM 1.1b) [1] which is embedded on Intel- mainboards or in
HP/ Fujitsu-Siemens / Toshiba-Notebooks.  A nearly complete list where this
module is integrated in can be found in [2].

This kernel module acts as a communication gateway between the linux kernel
and the hardware chip and fits the TPM-specific interfaces created by IBM in
drivers/char/tpm/tpm.h

Further information about this module and a list of succesfully tested and
therefore supported hardware can be found at our project page [3].

c293621bbf [PATCH] stale POSIX lock handling
I believe that there is a problem with the handling of POSIX locks, which
the attached patch should address.

The problem appears to be a race between fcntl(2) and close(2).  A
multithreaded application could close a file descriptor at the same time as
it is trying to acquire a lock using the same file descriptor.  I would
suggest that that multithreaded application is not providing the proper
synchronization for itself, but the OS should still behave correctly.

SUS3 (Single UNIX Specification Version 3, read: POSIX) indicates that when
a file descriptor is closed, that all POSIX locks on the file, owned by the
process which closed the file descriptor, should be released.

The trick here is when those locks are released.  The current code releases
all locks which exist when close is processing, but any locks in progress
are handled when the last reference to the open file is released.

There are three cases to consider.

One is the simple case, a multithreaded (mt) process has a file open and
races to close it and acquire a lock on it.  In this case, the close will
release one reference to the open file and when the fcntl is done, it will
release the other reference.  For this situation, no locks should exist on
the file when both the close and fcntl operations are done.  The current
system will handle this case because the last reference to the open file is
being released.

The second case is when the mt process has dup(2)'d the file descriptor.
The close will release one reference to the file and the fcntl, when done,
will release another, but there will still be at least one more reference
to the open file.  One could argue that the existence of a lock on the file
after the close has completed is okay, because it was acquired after the
close operation and there is still a way for the application to release the
lock on the file, using an existing file descriptor.

The third case is when the mt process has forked, after opening the file
and either before or after becoming an mt process.  In this case, each
process would hold a reference to the open file.  For each process, this
degenerates to first case above.  However, the lock continues to exist
until both processes have released their references to the open file.  This
lock could block other lock requests.

The changes to release the lock when the last reference to the open file
aren't quite right because they would allow the lock to exist as long as
there was a reference to the open file.  This is too long.

The new proposed solution is to add support in the fcntl code path to
detect a race with close and then to release the lock which was just
acquired when such as race is detected.  This causes locks to be released
in a timely fashion and for the system to conform to the POSIX semantic
specification.

This was tested by instrumenting a kernel to detect the handling locks and
then running a program which generates case #3 above.  A dangling lock
could be reliably generated.  When the changes to detect the close/fcntl
race were added, a dangling lock could no longer be generated.

3e5ea09844 [PATCH] s390: use __cpcmd in vmcp_write
vmcp_write uses GPF_DMA for the memory allocation of the response buffer, so
it can use the low level function __cpcmd directly, no need to call the
wrapper.
