[PATCH 2/2] hugetlb reservations: fix hugetlb MAP_PRIVATE reservations across vma splits
When a hugetlb mapping with a reservation is split, a new VMA is cloned from the original. This new VMA is a direct copy of the original including the reservation count. When this pair of VMAs are unmapped we will incorrect double account the unused reservation and the overall reservation count will be incorrect,... 20 Jun 2008 16:22

Problems with rt2x00 USB interface on powerpc (fwd)

Sorry I have been quite busy with other things.... 4 Aug 2008 09:29

[PATCH 2/2] ide: pass hw_regs_t-s to ide_device_add[_all]()
* Add 'hw_regs_t **hws' argument to ide_device_add[_all]() and convert host drivers + drivers/ide/setup-pci.c to use it instead of calling ide_init_port_hw() directly (however if host has more than 1 port we must still set hwif->chipset to hint consecutive ide_find_port() call that the ide_hwifs[] slot is o... 20 Jun 2008 15:20
