Ok, 374 patches is just rediculious.
So many patches eats up an enormous amount of mailing list resources,
and for these patches in particular there are few reasons to split
them up at all. The fact that the split up landed you at 300+ patches
is a very good indication of that.

The one point where it is expected to have changed now is when you
try to do these ioctls on something that is not a block device. Are
you sure that the files you tried them on were created correctly?

Kay, are we doing something wrong in userspace when renaming wireless
devices such that we can overlap names?
It does it for all network devices, I see this ugly message on every
single system I have from Fedora foo to RHEL
While scanning over today's updates in Linus's tree, I noticed
the following commit has no changes, and this does not appear
to be intentional.
Someone should check it out.

Git shouldn't even allow such commits to be generated, although you can
force it by using the low-level functionality (eg using git commit-tree
directly for doing things like importing)

So we take an `enum data_direction' and then wedge it into a word alongside
some extra flags?
Can we do something nicer than that?
Yes, I discussed this last time around, this type abuse stinks and
it's confusing.

sg_next() gives you a NULL after the last entry, but tests have been
changed to compare against sg_last() which is likely not what we
want for those checks.

Righto, it's invalid to call sg_next() on the last entry!
Unfortunately, that's what the sparc64 code wanted to do, this
transformation in the sparc64 sg chaining patch is not equilavent:

The problem is that you cannot zero the entire sg entry, because then
you'd potentially overwrite the chain pointer.
I'd propose just adding a
sg_dma_address(sg) = 0;
sg_dma_len(sg) = 0;

Actually, just clearing AFTER sg_next() would be fine, since we know
that is not a link entry. Duh...

We loop through psm values, calling __l2cap_get_sock_by_addr(psm, ...)
until we get NULL; then we set -psm of our socket to htobs(psm).
IOW, we find unused psm value and put it into our socket. So far, so
good,

Since nobody uses it after we convert it to host-endian,
no need to do that at all. At that point l2cap is endian-clean.
