  • d61780c0d   [PATCH] remove some more check_region stuff ... Browse Code »

    Removed some more references to check_region().

    I checked these changes into the 'checkreg' branch of
    rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/misc-2.6.git

    The only valid references remaining are in:
    drivers/scsi/advansys.c
    drivers/scsi/BusLogic.c
    drivers/cdrom/sbpcd.c
    sound/oss/pss.c

    Remove last vestiges of ide_check_region()
    drivers/char/specialix: trim trailing whitespace
    drivers/char/specialix: eliminate use of check_region()
    Remove outdated and unused references to check_region()
    [sound oss] remove check_region() usage from cs4232, wavfront
    [netdrvr eepro] trim trailing whitespace
    [netdrvr eepro] remove check_region() usage

  • 663b97f7e   [PATCH] mm: flush_tlb_range outside ptlock ... Browse Code »

    There was one small but very significant change in the previous patch:
    mprotect's flush_tlb_range fell outside the page_table_lock: as it is in 2.4,
    but that doesn't prove it safe in 2.6.

    On some architectures flush_tlb_range comes to the same as flush_tlb_mm, which
    has always been called from outside page_table_lock in dup_mmap, and is so
    proved safe. Others required a deeper audit: I could find no reliance on
    page_table_lock in any; but in ia64 and parisc found some code which looks a
    bit as if it might want preemption disabled. That won't do any actual harm,
    so pending a decision from the maintainers, disable preemption there.

    Remove comments on page_table_lock from flush_tlb_mm, flush_tlb_range and
    flush_tlb_page entries in cachetlb.txt: they were rather misleading (what
    generic code does is different from what usually happens), the rules are now
    changing, and it's not yet clear where we'll end up (will the generic
    tlb_flush_mmu happen always under lock? never under lock? or sometimes under
    and sometimes not?).

  • f9c98d028   [PATCH] mm: m68k kill stram swap ... Browse Code »

    Please, please now delete the Atari CONFIG_STRAM_SWAP code. It may be
    excellent and ingenious code, but its reference to swap_vfsmnt betrays that it
    hasn't been built since 2.5.1 (four years old come December), it's delving
    deep into matters which are the preserve of core mm code, its only purpose is
    to give the more conscientious mm guys an anxiety attack from time to time;
    yet we keep on breaking it more and more.

    If you want to use RAM for swap, then if the MTD driver does not already
    provide just what you need, I'm sure David could be persuaded to add the
    extra. But you'd also like to be able to allocate extents of that swap for
    other use: we can give you a core interface for that if you need. But unbuilt
    for four years suggests to me that there's no need at all.

    I cannot swear the patch below won't break your build, but believe so.
