Hello,
tcp_vegas produces division by zero kernel oopses in dom0 when running
a Xen-patched 2.6.16.28 kernel. I have tracked down the problem to
line #256 in tcp_vegas.c: presumably due to flaky Xen timing, the rtt

I've split the issues introduced by the 2.6.21-rcX write code up into 4
subproblems.
The first patch is just a cleanup in order to ease review.
Patch number 2 ensures that we never release the PG_writeback flag until
_after_ we've either discarded the unstable request altogether, or put it

Redirtying a request that is already marked for commit will screw up the

Hi Matthew,
After a long hiatus, I took another stab at pci error recovery
for the symbios. This is very nearly the same patch as before,
with only an update to enable MWI, and to support chip workarounds.
I think I've addressed all the other issues that came up. Thus,
again, I'll ask that
I gave a chroot example that showed that in the current

other cases with lazy unmounts as well.
Irrelevant as well. If you create chroot problems it's your problem.
The fact is that if you have a normal setup
