Hello Richard Purdie,
NAK, Even though we can use it. it's out of Spec. It's reason I don't add

In your swap patch, swap device only uses 4 bytes. so it's enough in

According to the new timer statistics, many of the
timers that expire come from schedule_timeout.
Since the regular timer infrastructure is optimized
for timers that don't expire, this might be a useful
optimization.
This also changes the timer stats to show the caller
of schedule_timeout in the
This changes the select and pselect system calls to use the
new schedule_timeout_hr function. Since many applications
use the select function instead of nanosleep, this provides
a higher resolution sleep to them.
BUG: the same needs to be done for the compat syscalls, the
current patch breaks
The new schedule_timeout_hr function is a variant of schedule_timeout
that uses hrtimers internally. Consequently, its argument and
return value are ktime_t.

I've played around with the new timer statistics to see which timers might
benefit of being moved from traditional timers to hrtimers.
Since my understanding is that timer_list timers are not really meant to
expire, this seems to include a lot of what comes in through
schedule_timeout, in

Hi,
The baycom_ser_fdx driver did not allow i/o ports >= 0x1000. Now that
there are pci cards (with rs232 ports) which use for example 0xb800 this
limit should not exists.
Also, for non kernel coders find the cause of problems was challenging
so I added extra logging.

My machine is Oopsing at boot time, and ends up in a panic when I have :

I produced some code which I proposed in mail above. The patch is not for review
it is just a PoC to better show what I'm trying to do. It is a test case for my
