Hi Dave,

I still have the problem of the devices disappearing if idle for too
long such as when i lock the desktop or log out for a long period.
Sometimes I can re-enable the devices, but sometimes I cannot.

Hi,
Please review the ensuing set of patches which convert the

markers.
These patches are based upon the 2.6.24-rc2-rt1 kernel tree.
Along with marker transition, the RCU Tracing infrastructure has also

If we are in the process of dropping an inode and it is hashed,
generic_forget_inode() will mark it I_WILL_FREE and drop the
inode_lock before calling write_inode_now().
However, at this point, the inode is still on the sb->s_dirty_list
so sync_sb_inodes() could see it and try to write it back.

Ahhh.. so you figure the Oops should also have been fixed

Ok.

I'd be glad to, especially if you give me some advice on testing (.config
for um-i386 and um-x86_64, what do try that

Mark arches that support A.OUT format by including the following in their
master Kconfig files:
config ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT
def_bool y
This should also be set if the arch provides compatibility A.OUT support for
an older arch, for instance x86_64 for i386 or sparc64 for
Suppress A.OUT library support if CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT is not set.
Not all architectures support the A.OUT binfmt, so the ELF binfmt should not
be permitted to go looking for A.OUT libraries to load in such a case. Not
only that, but under such conditions A.OUT core dumps are not produced
net2280 can't have a function called show_registers() because this can produce
a namespace clash with an arch function of the same name.
All this driver's functions and variables should really be prefixed with
"net2280_" to avoid such a problem in future.

Fix MTD JEDEC probe so that the ASB2303 bootprom can be accessed. This is
presumably required because the bootprom is normally write-protected and so
the normal flash probes don't work as they require the ability to write to the
flash to send it commands.

Hi,
We've developed a driver for an image acquisition card, which maps
kernel alloc'ed buffers into user space vma's. We use alloc_page +
remap_pfn_range in the driver mmap file_operation.
After looking at alloc_page_vma, I thought that it might be more
appropiate than alloc_page in this
