But why wouldn't it be possible to do this on the current fs infrastructure,
using just a smart fsck, working incrementally on some sub-dir?
If you have /home/usera, /home/userb, and /home/userc, the vast majority of
fs screw-ups can't be

The help for CONFIG_DM_SNAPSHOT says it is EXPERIMENTAL (in
2.6.23.12). So this would mean that there is very high risk of
software failure using snapshots. Would you want to do that for your
fsck?

It's generally considered good style to only have as few as possible
return values. And this is especially important when returning from
a section that's under a lock. So in this case it would be much better
if you changes this

We have plenty of DB9-to-RJ45 at work. Very useful when abusing the

Maybe surprisingly to you, I haven't seen the RJ11 variant ;-)

Exactly. In MadWifi, they are inlined on i386 and x86_64, and I cannot

Maybe it's time to do some simple xoring in the ioremap return value
to force them not to do such stupid

I guess a third possible time (if we want to minimize the number of
updates) would be when natural syncing of the file data to disk, by
other things in the VM, would be about to clear the I_DIRTY_PAGES

Well, I think that /dev/mem should simply give them the right info. That's
what people use /dev/mem for - doing things like reading BIOS images etc.
So returning *either* a zero page *or* stopping at the first hole is both

The interesting feature is that it allows to set a priority for each
process container, but AFAIK it doesn't allow to partition the
bandwidth between different containers (that would be a nice feature
IMHO). For example it would be great

thanks, applied. Does this explain the crash/hang problems with 32-bit
apps on 64-bit kernels? What was the exact failure mode?
It does. Any 32-bit process trying to run a signal handler when it had
used the FPU, would clobber

Are you still only seeing these problems on loopback? I can't help but

if this is the skb_clone() problem where it wasn't copying skb-iif causing

Yes, I've only spotted it on loopback. The
