Hi,
In drivers/md/raid5.c, the author does not check to see if alloc_page() returns
NULL. This patch also adds checks that return 1 (following the

We don't remove a dirty page from the inactive dirty list when writing it

Looking at the 2.4.4 code, mmap() of file followed by write() to socket
will copy the data once.
I could be mistaken (only glanced at the code quickly) but I base that

You can't. IMCR is write-only and may involve chipset-specific

int fd = open (name, O_RDWR);
char* adr = (char*) mmap (0, len, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
/* write to *adr through *(ard+len-1)
To make sure this gets enough publicity and eyes on it..

I suspect the real fix might, in general, be
a) to reduce use of kmalloc() etc. which gives
physically contiguous memory, where virtually
contiguous memory will do (and is,
Many thanks Jim. Now at least I have a way.
But I caution others that Linux modifies the UDF filesystem somehow, so that Winders
can no longer understand it. I nearly lost all my music & photo archives to this.
And attempts to rm or mv on a DVDRAM with UDF cause it to segfault & jam up.
Hi,
we run a nfs server utilizing 2.2.19 + ReiserFS version 3.5.32 on a
P 3 550 machine. Disk subsystem is a GDT7518RN using 4 UW disks as raid 5
device. After upgrading from 2.2.17 + reiserfs to 2.2.19 we experience
many (very much more than with 2.2.17) problems with our nfs clients

Hi folks!
(I have looked up in the archive the linux-kernel threads for kwds
"DMA, contiguous, address" before writing this mail, and read the
corresponding threads.)
I am trying to port some driver to Linux2.4/i386. I have just read
the "Linux device drivers" book by A.Rubini, and this is
