Hello, Bartlomiej.
This patch fixes ide_dma_intr() oops which occurs for TASKFILE ioctl
using DMA dataphses. This is against the latest ide-dev-2.6 tree +
all your recent 9 patches.

ntfs: Fix printk format warnings on ia64:
fs/ntfs/aops.c:947: warning: long long unsigned int format, long int arg (arg 4)
fs/ntfs/debug.c:169: warning: long long unsigned int format, VCN arg (arg 2)
fs/ntfs/debug.c:169: warning: long long unsigned int format, s64 arg (arg 4)
On sparc32 build, there is a printk format arg-type warning:
fs/proc/proc_misc.c:195: warning: long unsigned int format, unsigned int arg
(arg 23)
I tried to fix it with a change to asm-sparc/vaddrs.h:
-#define VMALLOC_START 0xfe60
+#define VMALLOC_START 0xfe60UL

100% agree with you, Jeff. That's what I wrote in another mail.
A real -rc should have only a handful of patches. And even more
importantly, the final release MUST be EXACTLY the lastest -rc,
without any new surprize.

there is no way I'm adding instructions to the carefully

Any mmap changes requires the mmapsem.
sys_remap_file_pages() will call install_page() under down_read(mmap_sem).
It relies upon page_table_lock for pte atomicity.
This is not relevant since it
Make hweight() macros return unsigned int for 8,16,32 bits,
instead of requiring callers to do that.

Make IPoIB data_debug_level module parameter static to the single file

debug_level to ipoib_debug_level. This avoids possible name
clashes if IPoIB is built into the kernel. We use module_param_named

You don't want to do that for all architectures, as I said earlier.
eg. i386 can concurrently set the dirty bit with the MMU (which won't
honour the lock).
So you then need an atomic lock, atomic pte operations, and atomic

The EEPROM (or whatever that is) on Asus K8V SE Deluxe motherboards
contains buggy firmware. This buggy firmware has one flipped bit, and

You're thinking about CRYPTO_AES_586. But looking at crypto/Kconfig,
the dependencies are a bit weird:

Hello, Bartlomiej.
This patch fixes ide_dma_intr() oops which occurs for TASKFILE ioctl
using DMA dataphses. This is against the latest ide-dev-2.6 tree +
all your recent 9 patches.
