- this has everything which is in 2.6.21. Plus more!
- a number of nasty bugs were fixed. This should be (a lot) more stable
than 2.6.21-rc7-mm1.
Some sysfs-related problems are still expected.

Hi Pierre/Philip,
I've looked through the MMC 4.2 spec and I see nothing in it that even hints
that 8-bit support might be optional. So as it stands, the bus testing is still

Okay. Its possible that my understanding was wrong in the sense that I
thought bus testing procedure is mandatory
I have also suspected this. memtest86 from test #1 to #10 showed an
error on test #3 once, so i removed the dimm, cleaned it and fixed it
again and run the tests two more times without any error. Is there any
other tool i could use to test the memory?
Thanks.

Umm. Welcome to the 21st century: we don't do that "separate DMA
controller" thing any more. All devices do their own DMA.

Btw, I sure as hell hope you didn't use "suspend()" for that. You're
(again) much better off having a totally separate function that just
freezes stuff.
So in the "snapshot+shutdown" path, you

Now, if the old kernel left DMAs running, it could be overwriting

The *thaw* needs to happen with devices quiescent.
But that sure doesn't have anythign to do with the "snapshot()" path. In

This is a very similar problem to a copy-on-write cache flushing problem
that Tony Luck fixed in July 2006. In this case the do_no_page function
handles a fault in an executable or library that is mmapped from an
NFS file system. The code is copied into a newly reallocated page.
