| Octavian Purdila | [RFC] [PATCH] tcp_splice_read: do not promote SPLICE_F_NONBL...
This patch stops propagating SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK as O_NONBLOCK to the
underlaying socket. It follows the man page semantic - or at least my
interpretation.
This approach also provides a simple solution to the splice transfer size
problem. Say we have the following common sequence:
splice(socket, pipe);
splice(pipe, file);
Unless we specify SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK, we can't use arbitrarily large size
transfers with the 1st splice since otherwise we will deadlock due to
pipe "fullness". But if w...

Hi.
I have an iBook G3 600MHz combo (late 2001 model, powerpc) with a USB
wireless card rt2x00 that doesn't work.
I just compiled a fresh 2.6.26-rc4 kernel and it can't get a lease from
the access point, even though it is able to see the access point.
The userland here is Debian unstable (sid) and I can perform some of the
steps in the direction of configuring the interface. For instance, the
following works (I am using wep as the encryption system with other systems

Hi there.
I just did some more tests and I would like to report them here.
It seems that we have some problems with the USB card even on ia32:
after it is configured, I have to issue the command "iwconfig wlan0 ap any"
all the time so that I can be able to download anything or even resolve
names.
With a PCMCIA rt2500 adapter, I don't have such problems when running a
stock Ubuntu kernel from Hardy Heron.
So, it seems that the problem is a little deeper than just some

You are right, this was simply freedesktop.org bug #13991 [1] which has
been solved since January [2], but not made it into a release of
xf86-input-evdev yet.
So I still want to do something about the throttling issue of the kernel
messages, but that's gonna wait as I'm off to bed now.
Thanks Dave.

Nice test. The Seagate 7200.11 drives deliver 120MB/s (outer zone,
raw) each, and there is an issue with CFQ dispatching requests; see:
http://groups.google.co.uk/group/linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/b88264b084a2dfe0/a1...
A quick workaround tweak is:
# echo 0 >/sys/block/sda/queue/iosched/slice_idle
Does this help any? This gives the difference of ~68MB/s vs ~120MB/s
on my 7200.11 ;-) .
That said, the i965 chipset is fairly contemporary, but if that 2GB/s

not work correctly with ppp-2.4.4. After establishing a dial-up modem

| devzero | Re: [Bug 10797] Something is consuming power after shutdown
if your notebook powers down and doesn`t show that something is still "on" and consuming power - i`d call that "broken by design".
it should not be up to the operating system to make sure that all parts of the hardware are switched to off.
if i power down some device and there is nothing showing "hey, here is something active" (e.g. by some led or lcd) - i expect it to stop consuming power.
maybe it`s not that broken as my PC, which is consuming 20W after power-off (due to power-supply) - but i...

Its a userspace problem not a kernel side one, granted we might throttle
the messages. Are you running KDE compositing on radeon or something
likethat?

kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) was needed because it was called under tasklist_lock.
The code was changed to use rcu_read_lock(), we can use GFP_KERNEL.

| Abhishek Sagar | [PATCH 3/3] ftrace: add debugfs entry 'failures'
Identify functions which had their mcount call-site updates failed. This can
help us track functions which ftrace shouldn't fiddle with, and are thus not
being traced. If there is no race with any external agent which is modifying
the mcount call-site, then this file displays no entries (normal case).

| Abhishek Sagar | [PATCH 1/3] ftrace: prevent freeing of all failed updates
Prevent freeing of records which cause problems and correspond to function from
core kernel text. A new flag, FTRACE_FL_CONVERTED is used to mark a record
as "converted". All other records are patched lazily to NOPs. Failed records
now also remain on frace_hash table. Each invocation of ftrace_record_ip now
checks whether the traced function has ever been recorded (including past
failures) and doesn't re-record it again.
