Re: [2.6.23-1] [USB Mass Storage] [USB_PERSIST] Losing mounted USB storage after resume

2007-11-15 Thread Raymano Garibaldi
The scenario that you've described is exactly what I have in mind as well. The lack of this feature, which worked fine in 2.6.21, is holding us back on updating the kernel in our LiveUSB distribution. I think that this is a feature that would be more and more needed as portable storage devices

Why preallocate pmd in x86 32-bit PAE?

2007-11-15 Thread Jeremy Fitzhardinge
I'm looking at unifying asm-x86/pgalloc*.h, and so I'm trying to make things as similar as possible between 32 and 64-bit. Once difference is that 64-bit incrementally allocates all levels of the pagetable, whereas 32-bit PAE preallocates the 4 pmds when it allocates the pgd. What's the

[PATCH RESEND] xen: mask _PAGE_PCD from ptes

_PAGE_PCD maps a page with caching disabled, which is typically used for mapping harware registers. Xen never allows it to be set on a mapping, and unprivileged guests never need it since they can't see the real underlying hardware. However, some uncached mappings are made early when probing the
