Ok, so somehow it is leaking. I have a system in the lab that is the same
hardware as production, but it currently has no, you know, hard drives in

Hi,
After a few days uptime on a 2.6.19 kernel, I see this:
http://devzero.co.uk/~alistair/2.6.19-softlockup.jpg
At which point magic sysrq doesn't work and the machine requires a hard
reboot. Is there anything that can be done to produce a more verbose message
when such a soft lockup occurs?

Good idea.
We're talking about Linux here. Linux regularly supports
Adding blk_end_io() as a full completion handler for I/Os other than
sync/barrier.
Completion handlers for sync/barrier I/Os are also updated to full
completion handler.

Changing the role of ->end_io() of struct request to a full I/O
completion handler.
blk_end_request() is added as a helper function to call the full
completion handler from drivers and others.

Hi Jens and device driver maintainers,
I would like to make block interface to hook in before completing
each chunk of request (for errors) to allow request-based multipath.
The first approach was to add a new hook in __end_that_request_first().

Short story is that buffered writes slowed down by 20-30%
between 2.6.18 and 2.6.19 and became a lot more erratic.
Writing a single file to a single filesystem doesn't appear
to have major problems, but when writing a file

Well, fast -- it depends! :) My Crusoe tablet, Compaq TC1000, can
use any break it gets... And generally, the beauty of a make system
is not to do any extra moves. Since it already knows what to build,
why not let it install just that?

It gives errors - that seem to disappear when compiled with gcc - 3.4.x
I really dont understand why?.
There were changes to the kernel to get rid of 4.x problems,

Is there a way to entice make modules_install to install only those

Out of curiosity, why? I've noticed

Because you didn't have CIFS compiled in? Right now that's the only other
module that would trigger that particular string
