Generic reserve management code.
It provides methods to reserve and charge. Upon this, generic alloc/free style

Hi joern,
this patch addresses a number of small issues mainly regarding
the output made by this driver to dmesg:
- Some of the blkmtd's had not been changed to block2mtd which
caused display problem

Hi,
I'm looking at 2.6.25-rc2. vsyscall_sysctl_change contains code to NOP
out the actual system call instructions of the vsyscall page when
vsyscall64 is enabled. This seems to interact badly with the fallback
code in do_vgettimeofday which tries to call gettimeofday if the

The PCI_DEVICE_TABLE patch I sent earlier doesn't necessarily make much sense
by itself... here is a set of patches that apply this macro, in turn moving a
lot of this data into __devinitconst which is discardable in certain
situations. Hopefully the benefit of this approach is a bit clearer
The definitions of struct pci_device_id arrays should generally follow
the same pattern across the entire kernel. This macro defines this
array as const and puts it into the __devinitconst section.

Ok, I had just picked up on the "legacy" word in the option title

Document huge memory/cache overhead of memory controller in Kconfig
I was a little surprised that 2.6.25-rc* increased struct page for the memory
controller. At least on many x86-64 machines it will not fit into a single
cache line now anymore and also costs considerable amounts of RAM.

Hi,
I needed APM to have poweroff on old box. So, in 2.6.24.2 menuconfig:

No APM.

No APM. I can see ACPI...
3) I try searching with "/" + "APM"

Hello all,
A bit of update to this issue.
Switching the cabling of the most problematic drive with a new one
didn't fix the issue.
I couldn't yet switch the power supply with a more powerful one.
However I temporarily added a pci-e SATA host and another drive, the
situation was just as

This is the same as before but against the mmu notifier #v6 patch,
running on top of 2.6.25-rc latest, and in this last update I fixed
the last race condition with a seqlock. I described the exact fix in a
earlier email, in short the seqlock-write is in the
invalidate_page/pages, and the reader
