A pointer to stk17ta8_rtc_probe is passed to the core via
platform_driver_register and so the function must not disappear when the
.init sections are discarded. Otherwise (if also having HOTPLUG=y)
unbinding and binding a device to the driver via sysfs will result in an
oops as does a device being registered late.
An alternative to this patch is using platform_driver_probe instead of
platform_driver_register plus removing the pointer to the probe function
from the struct platform_driver.

There is a nice gem in drivers/block/ataflop.c::do_fd_request()
void do_fd_request(struct request_queue * q)
{
unsigned long flags;
DPRINT(("do_fd_request for pid %d\n",current->pid));
while( fdc_busy ) sleep_on( &fdc_wait );
fdc_busy = 1;
stdma_lock(floppy_irq, NULL);
atari_disable_irq( IRQ_MFP_FDC );
local_save_flags(flags); /* The request function is called with ints
local_irq_disable(); * disabled... so must save the IPL for later */
redo_fd_request();
local_irq_restore(flags);
atari_enable_irq( IRQ_MFP_FDC );
}
If you look at the code long enough, you will notioce that the
local_irq_disable() call is actually commented out. This has been
introduced back in 2002 in [1], but as you can see, the same bug has been
there even before, with the sti() call being commented out in the very
same way :)
I am not familiar with the code myself at all, but I guess that the whole
stuff can just be removed. Why do we need save_flags/restore_flags at all,
without actually disabling the local IRQs afterwards? The
redo_fd_request() doesn't seem to do anything that would mess with flags
inconsistently.

Jens:
That does look odd. The comment is correct that the function is entered
with interrupts disabled (and the queue lock held). So I'd say your
patch looks fine, the whole save/restore business looks meaningless.

This is a followup to my patches that fixed this all over the tree quite some
time ago. This one went unnoticed for some reason.
TLB handling for CRIS contains local_irq_disable() after local_save_flags().
Turn this into local_irq_save().

something-bility is spelled as something-blity
so a grep for 'blit' would find these lines
this is so trivial that I didn't split it by subsystem / copy
additional maintainers - all changes are to comments
The only purpose is to get fewer false positives when grepping
around the kernel sources.

The current implementation of get_user_desc() sign extends the return
value because of integer promotion rules. For the most part, this
doesn't matter, because the top bit of base2 is usually 0. If, however,
that bit is 1, then the entire value will be 0xffff... which is
probably not what the caller intended.
This patch casts the entire thing to unsigned before returning, which
generates almost the same assembly as the current code but replaces the
final "cltq" (sign extend) with a "mov %eax %eax" (zero-extend). This
fixes booting certain guests under KVM.
