This crash was inevitable, he's just making sure the disks get

hmm, on second thought, I think I would prefer the attached patch
(compiled but not tested).
Hardware usually returns all 1's when it's not present, or not working,
so think checking for addresses filled with 1's is a good idea too.

It isn't so much failing as it hangs. I don't know if you have used it
or not. On a startup of the realserver under a 2.2 kernel here is the

My current hdparm line looks like this:
hdparm -m16 -c1 -u1 -k1 -X69 /dev/...
With this, I can get 28.x MB/s instead of 15.y with just -X69.

Yep, you are correct, and the code is incorrect.
mdelay() delays milliseconds.

instead of need_reshed being a per-task flag, could it be

There's a rewrite of this for the new PCI API. Doesn't yet support the ISA

Take a look at ramfs. kmap isnt really a 'pressure' thing. You want to kunmap

Alan,
patch against -ac20 fixes a few things:
- console.c: reviewed and commented locking rules
- tioclinux(): set_selection() was racy wrt console writes, which
causes mouse droppings on the screen when using gpm. It was
always SMP racy. Removing the console_lock make it UP-racy.
