Is the general way to fix these too-large stack vars to heap allocate
them? Or is it preferable to put a static in front of them, if the
routine is non-reentrant?
You're not always allowed to allocate
Expands add_vfsmnt() call in kern_mount(), takes alloc_vfsmnt()
before reading superblock and makes (in add_vfsmnt()) insertion into
vfsmntlist unconditional (kern_mount()) was the only case when we didn't
want it to happen. Moreover, recovery in kern_mount() becomes simpler.

Hi Linus,
the following patch does:
1) Remove GFP_BUFFER and HIGHMEM related deadlocks, by letting
these allocations fail instead of looping forever in
__alloc_pages() when they cannot make any progress there.
Now Linux no longer hangs on highmem machines with heavy
write loads.
OK, shoot me. Here it is again, this time _with_ patch...

Hi.
The following patch adds a number of checks for kmalloc returns
to drivers/ide/ide-probe.c. It applies against ac16.
One comment: This patch adds 'drive-present = 0' to the
code path for the EXABYTE case. I could not discern if this was a
shortcoming of the original code or not. Please

The VESA setting does not work. Causes any program using svgalib to crash.

Hi.
This trivial patch adds a kmalloc check to ide-tape.c::
idetape_onstream_read_back_buffer as per the Stanford team's report
way back. It applies against 244ac16.
Reading the code I was not sure if it was OK to just return
or more should be done. Please sanity check this.

Not valid because the jump to that part of the code is protected.
If a polling response for a valid status and no timeout, is detected then
it attempts to the command for real only after success or a test.
Otherwise it would be valid.
