Hi,
I have been been seeing a problem when using sendfile repeatedly on an SMP server, which I believe is related to the problem that was discovered recently with marking dirty pages. The bug, as well as a test script, is listed at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7650. Currently, we're experiencing errors where part of a previous packet is being sent out rather than the current packet. I have applied the patch Linus posted to a 2.6.19 kernel but am still getting the problem. So I am wondering if there are any other places in the kernel which mark pages as dirty which might require a similar patch?
