Kernel

PROBLEM: 2.6.30 fails to detect hardware limitation requiring "noapic"
Hello, I hope this is the right place to report a kernel bug. I have an Acer desktop, bog standard system. My previous kernel 2.6.26 tells me that I need to set option "noapic", and then halts. This behaviour is correct. Although it would be nice if the kernel dealt with noapic automatically, the attempt t... 16 Mar 2010 22:06

> ib_conn->login_buf = kmalloc(ISER_RX_LOGIN_SIZE, GFP_KERNEL); if (!ib_conn->login_buf) { - goto alloc_err; ret = -ENOMEM; + goto alloc_err; } This looks like a valid fix but it's the same part of the code that Dan found more extensive bugs in. Or, can I assume you'll sort this out... 31 Mar 2010 17:43

[GIT PULL] XFS update for 2.6.34-rc1
I hope you'll accept the following for 2.6.34-rc3, if not -rc2. The first two are patches I neglected to include in my first batch for 2.6.34. The second is minor, but gets rid of some bogus warning messages in the event of a forced shutdown. -Alex The following changes since commit 57d54889cd00db27529... 16 Mar 2010 19:50

[PATCH] powerpc: fix swiotlb to respect the boot option
powerpc initializes swiotlb before parsing the kernel boot options so swiotlb options (e.g. specifying the swiotlb buffer size) are ignored. Any time before freeing bootmem works for swiotlb so this patch moves powerpc's swiotlb initialization after parsing the kernel boot options, mem_init (as x86 does). Sign... 16 Mar 2010 19:50

Loading aic7xxx.Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address (linux-2.6.33-rc1 and linux-2.6.33-git15)

I converted the long if-else in function Mds_HeaderCopy() to a switch instead. It compiles fine but i don't have the hardware to test. Please check that I didn't do anything bad to it..
