x86: ioremap: fix physical address check
On 06/11/2010 02:20 AM, Kenji Kaneshige wrote: If the physical address is too high to be handled by ioremap() in x86_32 PAE (e.g. more than 36-bit physical address), ioremap() must return error (NULL). However, current x86 ioremap try to map this too high physical address, and it causes unexpected behavior.... 14 Jun 2010 22:55

x86: ioremap() problem in X86_32 PAE
On 06/11/2010 02:17 AM, Kenji Kaneshige wrote: By the way, I'm wondering some change might be needed also in PCI side. For example, current PCI subsystem disables 64-bit BAR with address higher than 32-bit assigned if sizeof(resource_size_t) is less than 8. But it doesn't care the case sizeof(resource_s... 18 Jun 2010 03:43

perf_disable()
Hi, I've been going over perf_disable() usage in kernel/perf_event.c and wondered if we actually need it at all. Currently the only thing we seem to require it for is around pmu::enable calls (and for that powerpc at least does it itself, on x86 we rely on it to call ->enable_all and reprogram the pmu state). ... 14 Jun 2010 06:15

ib/ehca: bitmask handling for lock_hcalls
What is the impact of this problem? ie is this something we need to fix for 2.6.35?

xfs: Make fiemap works with sparse file.
Tao Ma wrote: In xfs_vn_fiemap, we set bvm_count to fi_extent_max + 1 and want to return fi_extent_max extents, but actually it won't work for a sparse file. The reason is that in xfs_getbmap we will calculate holes and set it in 'out', while out is malloced by bmv_count(fi_extent_max+1) which didn't con... 18 Jun 2010 02:38
