Implement shared-writable mmap for AFS.
The key with which to access the file is obtained from the VMA at the point
where the PTE is made writable by the page_mkwrite() VMA op and cached in the
affected page.
If there's an outstanding write on the page made with a different key, then
NAK - mmio is an iomap so writel and readl are the wrong things to use
The patch is consistent with the rest of the driver.
You are welcome to submit a patch to convert ahci to using ioremap.
You could just flip the relevant function to use ioread while you are
tidying it up, instead of

In principle, anything can. There has never been any guarantee in the

I use syslog() from a daemon client/server sys. app. that (tries) to log

This is basically both painfully racy and easily broken with umount
and/or access to proc. See this busybox-compatible example:
## Set up chroot
mkdir /root1
mount -o mode=0750 -t tmpfs tmpfs /root1
cp -a /bin/busybox /root1/busybox
## Enter chroot
chroot /root1 /busybox
## Mount proc

You're mistaken. Or more properly, further use of chroot lets you walk
out. This really has been said before, and before, and before.

This is not true, hid_resolv_event() is called from the code that

hidinput_configure_usage().
