You didn't enable ACPI, it's needed for almost all systems to detect HT and also for many systems to detect multi-cores as well. Aside from that, in general I would say that on any modern x86 system ACPI should always be enabled. In many cases it seems the BIOS code is not tested much without ACPI anymore, so going without ACPI can be problematic. -- Robert Hancock Saskatoon, SK, Canada To email, remove "nospam" from hancockr@nospamshaw.ca Home Page: http://www.roberthancock.com/ ...

FYI, This was a debugging kernel (preempt, slab debugging, lockdep etc. enabled) running autotest and some other load on a 4 core Opteron system There was also another lockdep warning before that which I'm sending separately. Looks like some memory corruption. Could be something else, but at least reiserfs is the messenger. BTW these kind of backtraces are a good example on why I want the dwarf2 unwinder back. -Andi ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at /mnt/dm-2/newaut...

I think you really meant: "Use mutex instead of binary semaphore in idt77252 driver", since this is a binary semaphore (not a mutex, Everything else looks good though Cheers, Kyle Moffett -

That's not a spinlock. Also normally some rationale is added to the description for a change? -Andi -

Hi, For some time I had been working on this file system test framework. Now I have a implementation for the same and below is the explanation. Any comments are welcome. Introduction: The testing tools and benchmarks available around do not take into account the repair and recovery aspects of file systems. The test framework described here focuses on repair and recovery capabilities of file systems. Since most file systems use 'fsck' to recover from file system inconsistencies, the test framewo...

Nice to see some numbers! But would be really nice to know: - what the chunk size is - how the files were created or, more vaguely, how 'aged' the fs is - what is the chunk allocation algorithm Best, AG -- May the source be with you. http://www.cis.ksu.edu/~gud -

This utilizes PCMCIA on mpc885ads and mpc866ads from arch/powerpc. In the new approach, direct IMMR accesses from within drivers/ were totally eliminated, that requires hardware_enable, hardware_disable, voltage_set board-specific functions to be moved over to BSP code section (arch/powerpc/platforms/8xx in 885 case). There is just no way to have both arch/ppc and arch/powerpc approaches to work simultaneously because of that. It implies a bit of work to move other target's bits over to BSP region, bu...

I have browsed through the changes and this is in addition a much more readable set of Makefile's - good work! I stumbled over this: +AFLAGS = -traditional +LD = gcc-cris -mlinux -nostdlib +LDFLAGS = -T $(obj)/rescue.ld We have in i386 / x86_64 recently managed to get rid of -traditional. And it looks a bit strange that you use gcc as linker. Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Sam -

Hi, The last two patches from this series are intended to address the problem that some drivers allocate a lot of memory in their .suspend() routines causing swsusp to fail (and generally may want to do some things that shouldn't be done in .suspend()/.resume()). The first one is a fix. Greetings, Rafael -

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl> Move the definition of PAGES_FOR_IO to kernel/power/power.h and introduce SPARE_PAGES representing the number of pages that should be freed by the swsusp's memory shrinker in addition to PAGES_FOR_IO so that device drivers can allocate some memory (up to 1 MB total) in their .suspend() routines without causing the suspend to fail.

Teach the driver's tuneproc() method to do PIO auto-runing properly since it treated 5 instead of 255 as auto-tune request, and also passed the mode limit of PIO5 to ide_get_best_pio_mode() despite supporting up to PIO4 only. While at it, also: - remove the driver's wrong claim about supporting SWDMA modes; - stop hooking ide_dma_timeout() method as the handler clearly doesn't fit for the task...
