I'm running the 2.6.22.6 kernel with the berry_charge module loaded. I connect my 8700c via USB, but the blackberry does not appear to charge. The power icon does not change, and even after staying connected for an extended period, the device does not appear to be gaining any power. The cable is good, as I can plug it into my Windows machine and it begins charging immediately. I see the following in dmesg: [ 6638.606493] usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 [ 6638.776524] u...

If I select X86_64_ACPI_NUMA, then ACPI_NUMA is (properly) selected automatically, but ACPI is not selected automatically. This causes ACPI_NUMA to not be built, and the kernel compile fails with unresolved symbols. Steps to reproduce: make clean make mrproper make noallconfig select SMP select NUMA select X86_64_ACPI_NUMA make <boom> results: LD .tmp_vmlinux1 drivers/built-in.o: In function `acpi_bus_generate_event': (.text+0x23365): undefined reference t...

It's 2.6.22.6. I'm thinking a fix would be to add "select PM" to X86_64_ACPI_NUMA. I'm also thinking that maybe K8_NUMA should be changed from "depends on PCI" to "select PCI", like X86_64_ACPI_NUMA is. That would fix the pseudo dependency they have between them (i.e. selecting X86_64_ACPI_NUMA causes PCI to be selected, which then makes K8_NUMA visible, because its PCI dependency is now satisfied). James /\V -

OK, it worked for me also, using torvalds/linux-2.6.git. The behaviour of the "select" directive in Kconfig appears to have changed since 2.6.22.6. It now turns on ACPI, even when PM is not selected. This still looks broken to me, because ACPI gets selected by ACPI_NUMA, and ACPI depends on PM, but PM is not selected. It works out in the end, as far as the build is concerned, but it still bugs me. Does anyone object to the idea of a selected item automatically selecting its own dependencies? ...

Excuse me; that should read allnoconfig, not noallconfig. James /\V -

If it detects something, it should show up in `lsusb`. -

There's an updated version of that patch at It's not completely broken, it just handles disks incorrectly and we are not sure whether or not there are any serious consequences of that. Moreover, it has happened for a long time now, AFAICT, so that's not a regression. BTW, in my opinion, we don't really understand why the patch at http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/27/392 actually helps and understanding that might allow us to fix the problem in general.

forbid asm/bitops.h direct inclusion Because of compile errors that may occur after bit changes if asm/bitops.h is included directly without e.g. linux/kernel.h which includes linux/bitops.h, forbid direct inclusion of asm/bitops.h.

Hi, I've just released Linux 2.4.36-pre1. It's basically the same as 2.4.35.2, with an add-on I'd like people to experiment with : In private discussions, Solar Designer proposed to restrict the ability to map the NULL address to CAP_RAW_IO capable processes only. The idea behind this was to prevent "normal" users from trying to exploit NULL dereferences in the kernel which have not been discovered yet. This is purely a preventive measure. Alan Cox indicated that it was desirable to be able to d...

The following is the current contents of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/libata-dev.git (recently rebased) The 'upstream' branch is what I will push upstream for 2.6.24, once the merge window opens. I also have a pile in my inbox I need to go over, while I was away at conference.

I've just released Linux 2.4.35.2. The removal of -fno-unit-at-a-time in 2.4.35.1 in order to fix build with gcc-4.2 uncovered nasty optimization issues in the current code under gcc-4.x. This option not only prevents gcc from reordering sections, it also prevents it from doing a better optimization of some inlinable functions and from stripping out static variables which apparently never get assigned. Since the removal of the option, some users were caught by modules which had no symbol for cer...

Same kernel here, but on an older system (MDV2007.1). I tested with a path_id from a recent udev as well, though, but the problem was there as I don't have anything under /dev/input/by-path as the lookup in path_id What does this print as devpath for you: $ udevinfo -q all --name=input/event0 For me on 2.6.23rc5 it prints: P: /class/input/event0 and on 2.6.22: P: /class/input/input0/event0 Both are detected as "old sysfs layout" by path_id, but only on 2.6.22 is there a /device sym...

Hi! There seem to be changes in sysfs input structure between 2.6.22 and 2.6.23-rc5 which cause some breakage. There are a few changes. There is no longer: /sys/class/input/eventX => /sys/class/input/inputX/eventX instead there is: /sys/class/inputX/input:eventX => /sys/class/input/eventX Notice the added "input:". I don't know if any software depends on this, though. However, the change that broke id_path of udev is that /sys/class/input/event5/device is now a symlink to the...

The reason for the 10Gbps question was in most of the benchmarks I see 10Gbps achieves roughly 250 MiB/s as others have reported on other mailing lists. This company makes AoE / RAIDs (24 disks) quite cheap and they offer 10Gbps on their units, has anyone done any independent benchmarking of their units? They claim 550 MiB/s on them. What type of RAID do they use for AoE? Is it Linux SW Raid embedded in the unit? http://www.coraid.com/ What type of speeds are typical on 1Gbps vs. 1...

Known bug there has been there for ages so this is not a regression. I suggest removing it from this list - and I will see to have it fixed for 2.6.24. I will not push any fix for -rc for this. Sam -
