This patch implements pfn_valid() micro optimization.
This uses ia64_pfn_valid() idea to check mem_map is valid or not instead of
sparsemem's logic.
By this, we'll not access mem_section[] in usual ops.

Unfortunately, this suspicion proved wrong when the file was corrupted

This patch is for implementing optimized pfn_valid() for sparsemem_vmemmap.
By this, we can avoid accessing mem_section[] in usual codes.
(memory hotplug will access it.)
This patch checks vmem_map is mapped or not by get_user().
If fault, pfn is not valid.
Because sparsemem_vmemmap's virtual
ia64 support for sparsemem vmem_map optimize pfn_valid() patch.
Because ia64 has its own virtual mem_map, we can reuse the same code.
So this patch is simple.
To support optimized pfn_valid() in other arch, you (may) have to modify fault
handler in kernel address space.

I posted a patch to Paul this week to fix this, as saw we saw it on
Ubuntu's powerpc kernel builds.
Since ppc32 can't do a 64bit comparison on its own it seems, gcc
will generate a call to a helper function from libgcc. What other
arches do is link libgcc.a into libs-y, and export the
I am looking at filling the net-pipe, and it only reaches 40-75% max, with
some short 100% bursts, and a slow 10% start. It seems that caching
somewhat delays the writes, which then batch up and sync at various speeds.
So you have the cache really hiding slow sync speeds. To tune this, it

Actually could we fix our consoles, somehow, to make esc usable?
Having important key like esc unusable on consoles is quite ugly.
It's something between a misdesign and a misconfiguration of the ESC key.

Hi,
I enabled some kernel hacking options on 2.6.20-rc1 and ran sysrq t when
the problem occured.
Some hopefully usefull information in the links below: .config, dmesg,
vmstat and vmstat -m. Sorry for the links, I do not know what is
relevant and this is too much to inline for this list (is it?)
* Marc Haber:
After updating to 2.6.19, Debian's apt control file
/var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin corrupts pretty frequently - like in under
six hours.
I've seen that with Debian's 2.6.18 kernels as well. Perhaps it's
related to this Debian bug?
