Maybe, but you don't want it. T/TCP is inherently insecure.

The original poster is correct for 2.4 and 2.2.18pre+. For

You are right, fixed.

Good question.
It should be safe. The

Why would clear_bit() be a memory barrier?
Anything that expects clear_bit() to be a memory barrier

Sorry, I should have said that in 2.4, you can use ioremap on normal RAM,
although I'm having some problems getting

ioremap takes address-space, presumably occupied by a device (like on

This patch fixes the spinlock problems in read_lock/write_lock and also some
alpha SMP race where clear_bit isn't enforcing a memory barrier, plus some
improvement in some place where we can check the waitqueue is not full before
entering wake_up. There's some minor alpha compile fix too.

As I mentioned earlier sigtimedwait with a zero timeout (0,0) should not
