take tu->qlock with irqs disabled
At Wed, 28 Apr 2010 10:29:14 +0200, Dan Carpenter wrote: We should disable irqs when we take the tu->qlock because it is used in the irq handler. The only place that doesn't is snd_timer_user_ccallback(). Most of the time snd_timer_user_ccallback() is called with interrupts disabled but the the first... 5 May 2010 04:57

mtd: nand: Extend NAND flash detection to new MLC chips
Hi, Kevin Cernekee a �crit : Some of the newer MLC devices have a 6-byte ID sequence in which several field definitions differ from older chips in a manner that is not backward compatible. For instance: Doesn't these nand support ONFI "Read Parameter Page" (cmd 0xec) ? If yes it will be a more generi... 5 May 2010 03:52

[PATCH v2 0/2] x86 FPU API
Currently all fpu accessors are wedded to task_struct. However kvm also uses the fpu in a different context. Introduce an FPU API, and replace the current uses with the new API. While this patchset is oriented towards deeper changes, as a first step it simlifies xsave for kvm. v2: eliminate useless padding... 5 May 2010 03:52
