This patch uses vm_get_page_prot() to setup vma->vm_page_prot.

Hello list,
There is a "ttyS1 irq is -1" problem observed on tiger4 which cause

It is because that there is __no__ ACPI IRQ resource assigned for the

Hi,
A while ago I asked on LKML about the problem of loosing all wake device
capabilities, after a suspend to disk
(eg: I can't wake the system from keyboard if I suspend to disk and then to ram)
I was provided with the patch that fixes this problem completely.
The merge window is open, but I st

Hello!
I'm trying to keep some external drivers up to date with the kernel, and
the first two weeks after the release is the worst time for me. There
is no way to distinguish the current git kernel from the latest release.
It's only after rc1 is released that I can use preprocessor to check

Make use of the previously split out pcie_init_enable_events() function
to reinitialize the hotplug hardware on resume from suspend,
but only when pciehp_force==1. Otherwise behaviour is unmodified.

Original single patch is now broken out into tiny pieces for easier review.
Also, valuable feedback from Ted has been incorporated,
to avoid any possible side effects on regular use of
the PCIe hotplug stuff (when used without pciehp_force=1 mod parm).

Redefine dma_flags_set/get_*() for sn-ia64.
dma_flags_set_attr() "borrows" bits from the dma_map_* routines'
direction arguments (renamed "flags"). It uses the borrowed bits
to pass additional attributes.
dma_flags_get_dir() and dma_flags_get_attr() return the direction

Introduce the dma_flags_set/get_*() interfaces and give them
default implementations.
Architectures which allow DMA to be reordered between a device and
host memory (within a NUMA interconnect) can redefine these to allow
a driver to explicitly synchronize DMA from the device when necessary.
