I have produced another version of the CPU detection cleanup patch.

The comment above arch/i386/mm/init.c:paging_init() lies shamelessly -- we

Is it possible to get a process's name / full execution path (from
kernelspace) given only a task struct? I can't find any pointers to this
information in the task struct, and I don't know where else it might be. ps
seems to be able to get the process name, but that's from userspace.
Apologies in
do_ioctl is inside rtnl_lock...
Remember if you need to alter the rules, you can always queue work in
the current context, and have a kernel thread handle the work. The nice
thing about a kernel thread is that you start with a [almost] clean
state, when it comes to locks.

Hello,
This is a bit long and I apologize (since there are kdb captures in it).
We are developing an advanced networking services driver (loadable module)
and are having problems porting it to work on 2.4.x kernel.
The driver is supposed to provide services such as fault tolerance, load

You're right, I used the wrong terms (but used the correct

Like create a log of changes,...

Hi,
The code which sets up the page table at pg0 (in head.S) goes all the way
until it hits empty_zero_page so I don't understand why we need the label
pg1 in between, since it is never referred to by any other code?
Also, is the comment in asm/pgtable.h
/* page table for 0-4MB for everybody */
