NULL pointer dereference in uart_write_room(). > (5) uart_remove_one_port() is called by serial8250_register_port() since ttyS0 is already in use but it is requested to be once removed. That means 8250_pnp is taking over and then trying to delete the console, so its breakage in the serial layer glue. Perhaps Russell has some ideas as its hard to tell wh... 7 May 2008 14:53

nopage to fault Hello; I'm trying to compile a module and am a bit confused with what I should do. The module is using nopage, but since nopage was converted to fault, I have no choice but to see if the module will compile with fault. One of the areas that I'm lost with is NOPAGE_SIGBUS for a return value. in mm.h The only option... 7 May 2008 14:53

[PATCH 0/3] Guarantee faults for processes that call mmap(MAP_PRIVATE) on hugetlbfs v2 MAP_SHARED mappings on hugetlbfs reserve huge pages at mmap() time.

MAP_PRIVATE mappings do not reserve pages. This can result in an application bei... 7 May 2008 14:53
