Ah ... I overlooked
We broke the the alignment of members of taskstats to the 8 byte boundary
with the CSA patches. In the current kernel, the taskstats structure is
not suitable for use by 32 bit applications in a 64 bit kernel.

If ext3 can do 16T, ext2 probably should be able to as well.
There are still "int" block containers in the block allocation path
that need to be fixed up.
Perhaps ext2 should get the ext2_fsblk_t/ext2_grpblk_t treatment
as ext3 did, for clarity...

Just trying to dump the stack trace when that happens causes an oops,
and there's no good way to prevent that. In fact it's probably the
best thing to do anyway.

Variable Order Page Cache: Readahead fixups
Readahead is now dependent on the page size. For larger page sizes
we want less readahead.
Add a parameter to max_sane_readahead specifying the page order

page sizes.

Variable Order Page Cache: mmap_nopage and mmap_populate
Fix up both functions to be able to operate on arbitrary order
pages. However, both functions establish page table entries
in PAGE_SIZE only and the offset and pgoffset when calling
both functions is always in PAGE_SIZE units. Thus the

Redirtying a request that is already marked for commit will screw up the
accounting for NR_UNSTABLE_NFS as well as nfs_i.ncommit.
Ensure that all requests on the commit queue are labelled with 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

Implement the so-called "first failure data capture" (FFDC) for the
symbios PCI error recovery. After a PCI error event is reported,
the driver requests that MMIO be enabled. Once enabled, it
then reads and dumps assorted status registers, and concludes
by requesting the usual reset sequence.

Because UDF had some flaws and user could crash a kernel with larger
filesize. In -mm kernel are patches fixing the flaw and also raising the
limit back
