Is e820_setup_gap broken ??
I am looking at the e820_setup_gap function in tip/master tree. For i386 if we don't find a big enough gap in e820 map, we keep the gapstart value to "0x10000000". Don't print any warning messages for the user that we were unable to find gap in the 32bit address range. Now this address 0x10000000 can actually ... 20 Jun 2008 15:20

fasync() BKL pushdown
Jonathan Corbet wrote: The majority of fasync() functions just call fasync_helper() with a pointer to an fasync_struct reachable from the file structure. Given that (1) the struct file will not go away while fasync() is running, and (2) the VFS-level fasync() stuff is protected with the Big Fasync Lock, ... 20 Jun 2008 17:24

[PATCH, RFC] fasync() BKL pushdown
When I put together the bkl-removal tree, I didn't add Andi's fasync() patches because the addition of an unlocked_fasync() function was not universally accepted. Recently I decided to take a look and see what would be involved in just pushing the BKL down into fasync() implementations. It turns out that it wasn'... 20 Jun 2008 14:18
