  • 1cdca61bf   [PATCH] unpaged: sound nopage get_page ... Browse Code »

    Something noticed when studying use of VM_RESERVED in different drivers:
    snd_usX2Y_hwdep_pcm_vm_nopage omitted to get_page: fixed.

    And how did this work before? Aargh! That nopage is returning a page from
    within a buffer allocated by snd_malloc_pages, which allocates a high-order
    page, then does SetPageReserved on each 0-order page within.

    That would have worked in 2.6.14, because when the area was unmapped,
    PageReserved inhibited put_page. 2.6.15-rc1 removed that inhibition (while
    leaving ineffective PageReserveds around for now), but it hasn't caused
    trouble because.. we've not been freeing from VM_RESERVED at all.

  • b375a0495   [PATCH] USB: URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag removed from the kernel ... Browse Code »

    29 July 2005, Cambridge, MA:

    This afternoon Alan Stern submitted a patch to remove the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK
    flag from the Linux kernel. Mr. Stern explained, "This flag is a relic
    from an earlier, less-well-designed system. For over a year it hasn't
    been used for anything other than printing warning messages."

    An anonymous spokesman for the Linux kernel development community
    commented, "This is exactly the sort of thing we see happening all the
    time. As the kernel evolves, support for old techniques and old code can
    be jettisoned and replaced by newer, better approaches. Proprietary
    operating systems do not have the freedom or flexibility to change so
    quickly."

    Mr. Stern, a staff member at Harvard University's Rowland Institute who
    works on Linux only as a hobby, noted that the patch (labelled as548) did
    not update two files, keyspan.c and option.c, in the USB drivers' "serial"
    subdirectory. "Those files need more extensive changes," he remarked.
    "They examine the status field of several URBs at times when they're not
    supposed to. That will need to be fixed before the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag
    is removed."

    Greg Kroah-Hartman, the kernel maintainer responsible for overseeing all
    of Linux's USB drivers, did not respond to our inquiries or return our
    calls. His only comment was "Applied, thanks."
