Dumb question: did you replace both the module and the launcher?
Here's something that's been bugging me for a while now...
I have several Linux servers that have been given enough RAM that they

This can happen if e.g. NFS has a stale file handle - it will look up
the inode by inum, but ext3_read_inode() will create a bad inode due to
i_nlink = 0.

So -rc4 is out there now, hopefully shrinking the regression list further.
The diffstat (for those that look at those kinds of things) tells the
story: lots of small stuff to random files. I think the single biggest
file change was the patch-checking script, along with some sparc64 fixes.

Hi,
Patches appended to this mail fixes a bug explained below.
There are two ways to fix the bug. PLEASE CHOOSE BETTER ONE.

We've been seeing some occasional reports of -ERESTARTSYS and friends

digging, we beleive that the signal code is inherently racy vs. the

When we fix all the opensource gfx drivers to use the DMA api's,
at that time we can yank this config options out.

This config option (DMAR_FLPY_WA) sets up 1:1 mapping for the
floppy device so that the floppy device which does not use
DMA api's will continue to work.

This code implements a generic IOVA allocation and

IO virtual address from Higher DMA limit address rather
than lower end address and this eliminated the need to preserve
the IO virtual address for multiple devices sharing the

When devices are under a p2p bridge, upstream
transactions get replaced by the device id of the bridge as it owns the
PCIE transaction. Hence its necessary to setup translations on behalf of the
bridge as well. Due to this limitation all devices under a p2p share the same
domain in a DMAR.

Hi,
We are pleased to announce the revised version of
the Intel IOMMU driver. This driver incorporates several
feedback received from Anid Kleen, David Miller and
several others.
Most notable changes from previous postings (apart from
general code cleanup) are
1) Replaced linear linked
This patch adds support for early detection and parsing of DMAR's
reported to OS via ACPI tables.
