Hi,
I have found a potential problem with the current
implementation of the software watchdog. I have
CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT set for a reliable watchdog.
However, there are instances where I want to explicitly
shut it down. The problem with disabling
CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT is that events o

That one's mine. It should be:

There's no reason to check if pdev != NULL first, as it's NUL

I'm looking for comments on an idea I've thrashed out with David Woodhouse,
Arjan Van de Ven and Andrew Haley...
I've written a patch for gcc to implement compile-time assertions with an eye
to making use of this in the kernel in the future (assuming I can get it to be
accepted into gcc).

Hello!!
Well... thanks for all the suggestions, but we might need to
stick with 2.4.2 for various other dependencies, but, I have a
surprising thing to report on the observations. I tried the
zero-copy patch on 2.4.0, and it seemed to help in solving the
memory allocation problem, and also

Why not. It doesn't say what happens if there is pathname left over when you
hit the device specifically.

The fixup is bogus. Im not sure who wrote it or why. Its not the right fix for
the VIA later chip bugs. Its not the right way to do a two chip combination

To show the problem do:
make xconfig ARCH=ppc
in the "Platform support" menu "Processor Type" select "8xx" then close
the subminue with "MainMenu"
now select "Save and Exit"
This produces the following error messages:

Why ? debug=7 is the highest debug level and produces _lots_ of debug data
for high network activity. Do you have problems when insmod-ing without
any option and use a higher debug level just to see what's

In 2.4.4, the define, in
include/linux/skbuff.h
and corresponding structure in
net/core/skbuff.c
, "skb_datarefp" disappeared.
I'm not reporting this as a 'bug' as kernel internal interfaces are subject
to change, but more as an "FYI". I haven't had a chance to try to
debug or figure out

Play with the MTRR's and disable caching on memory.
Stupid but it should get what you want.
