The current way of updating ptes in the Linux vm includes first clearing
a pte before setting it to another value. The clearing is performed while
holding the page_table_lock to insure that the entry has not been modified

You might have come across this hack before, but I figured I should
remind you that it is still very useful for ata_piix...
Without this patch, if the BIOS of an ICH6R box has IDE set to "RAID"
mode then ata_piix will not find any SATA disks because it incorrectly
tries the legacy mode.

Hi Marcelo,
this a backport of my patch that went into 2.6.10.
---
cdrom_read_toc (ide-cd.c) always reads the TOC using MSF format. If the
last session of the disk starts beyond block 1152000 (LBA) there's an
overflow in the MSF format and kernel complains:
Unable to identify CD-ROM format.
So

Here's self-exploiting code to discover its own return address offset
and exploit itself. It'll lend some insight into how this stuff works.
I really shouldn't feed the trolls, but this must be the most silly
piece of code I saw on this mailing
Hi,
Attached you can find a split up patch ported from grSecurity [1], as
Linus commented that he wouldn't get a whole-sale patch, I was working
on it and also studying what features of grSecurity can be implemented
without a development or maintenance overhead, aka less-invasive
implementations.
I want to develop a device driver that would allow access to board
registers and memory that is addressable
on the system bus. The reason for this is to allow hardware developers to
access board registers while the system
is running to determine what is wrong with a board. The problem I'm having

Hello!
"make menuconfig" for x86_64 looks somewhat funky:
[ ] Provide RTC interrupt (NEW)
Code maturity level options --->
General setup --->
...
I believe all x86_64 specific options for HPET timer should be moved to
the "Processor type and features" menu. That's where they are
Hi,
we have about 70 P4 uniprocessor machines (some with Hyperthreading
capable CPUs) running linux 2.4.29, which are woken up on the weekdays
by sending a WOL packet to them. The machines all have a E100 nic with
WOL enabled in the bios. The E100 driver is compiled into the kernel
and not loaded

Having looked at a lot of disks, I think that it is definitely worth
forcing a write to try and invoke the remap. With large drives, you
usually several bad sectors in the normal case (drive vendors allocate
up to a couple thousand spare sectors just for remapping).
Depending on the type of

It doesnt hang if I add printk around the outb.

yes, i dont doubt the results - my point is that it's not proven that
the other, more read-friendly types of locking underperform rwlocks.
Obviously
d_drop() must use the dentry->d_lock spinlock. In some cases __d_drop()
was used without holding the dentry->d_lock spinlock, too. This could
end in a race with __d_lookup().
