When reopend it the box was frozen (ACPI?). Again disk I/O was dead
so nothing was found in syslog.
I tried to reproduce it and capture something with netconsole.
I tortured the box for a few hours but the system

Improve checking and diagnostics for broadcast and multicast Ethernet MAC
addresses, and distinguish between those cases in output; also make sure the
device is assigned a MAC address valid only locally to avoid collisions.

Avoid using the temporary buffer introduced by previous patch to hold the
device name.
Btw, avoid leaking device on an error path. Other error paths may need cleanup.

Subject: Add smp_ops interface
Add a smp_ops interface. This abstracts the API defined by
linux/smp.h for use within arch/i386. The primary intent is that it
be used by a paravirtualizing hypervisor to implement SMP, but it
could also be used by non-APIC-using sub-architectures.
This is
machine_ops is an interface for the machine_* functions defined in
linux/reboot.h. This is intended to allow hypervisors to intercept
the reboot process, but it could be used to implement other x86
subarchtecture reboots.

We never want to _abort_ pending updates only pending reads. So, even with

Thanks a lot! Folks!
Your reply addressed my concern.
Now I want to explain the problem that leads me to explore the Linux
disk cache management. This is actually from my project. In a file
system I am working on, two files may have different inodes, but share
the same data blocks. Of course
You are right. If the device is very big, the radix tree could be huge
as well. Maybe the lookup it not that cheap. But the per-device tree
can be optimized too. A simple way I can immediately image is: evenly
split a device into N parts by the sector numbers. For each part, we
maintain a radix
