[PATCH] KVM: Enhance the coalesced_mmio_write() parameter to avoid stack buffer overflow
coalesced_mmio_write() is not check the len value, if len is negative, memcpy(ring->coalesced_mmio[ring->last].data, val, len); will cause stack buffer overflow.

pts_unix98_lookup returns -EIO dependent on path
Hi, for reason not ultimately known to me, opening a pts node outside of /dev/pts makes drivers/char/pty.c:pts_unix98_lookup return -EIO on 2.6.33. The next ancestral commit which looks related to this is possibly 99f1fe18. In the following screenlog, /dev is a tmpfs, and /dev/pts is devpts. Whether CONFI... 11 Apr 2010 21:14

[PATCH] rtc-ds1302: add some abstraction for new platform support
The current ds1302 driver (or at least the one that lives in /drivers/rtc) seems to be designed for memory mapped devices only. This make it quite hard to add support for GPIO-based implementations (as this is the case for the upcoming Arcom Vulcan). This patch moves the direct register access to inline functions... 11 Apr 2010 19:01
