I think yes, otherwise there would not be a .config entry at all.

So not only did you spam the list with 40 patch postings,
you sent a second copy of everything as a tarball attachment
as well.

Ok I applied the patch. Thanks.

Sorry this reply was to go to the whole list but only made it to Matt.
The e1000_intr() routine already calls e1000_clean_tx_irq(). So
what's the point of this patch? Am I missing something?

Actually, with the current model, we should get a failure with VMA's mapped
with only PROT_WRITE (even if I wasn't able to verify that in UML, which has
similar code).
To test!

When installing pages on non-uniform VMA's, even for read faults we must
install them writable if the VMA is writable (we won't have a chance to fix
that). Normally, on write faults, we install the PTE as dirty (there's a

For linear VMA's, there is no need to install pte_file PTEs to remember the
offset. We could probably go as far as checking directly the address and

vma->vm_flags. A

This adapts the changes to the i386 handler to the UML one. It isn't enough to
make UML work, however, because UML has some peculiarities. Subsequent patches
fix this.
