Not many people have seen this, but the i_bdev field in fake_inode in

Hi guys,
A few of the reiserfs errors paths for i/o error neglect to release
buffer heads. This patch makes sure things get released properly
and if dirty buffers were prepared for the log, also makes sure
the dirty bits are reset (by using unfix_nodes intead of pathrelse).

One consequence of the removal of the 'put_inode: force_delete' made for

Well, my rebuild kernel / reboot / recompile module just finished.
Unfortunately, the printk warning was still there.
I replaced the unconditional #define MODVERSIONS with
#include
#ifdef CONFIG_MODVERSIONS
#define MODVERSIONS
#include
#endif
this is at the top of my source file. (before modu

It doesn't have to. In fact, I just set up a RedHat 6.2 Hone
Can someone elaborate on why it's bad to refer to tsk directly below (this
is a 2.4.5 change in x86) and why it's needed on x86 and not other archs..
What should I do for an arch that does not have a "cr3" machine register
to check with ?

Thanks. I guess it helps to know the right FM to R. :)
Arthur had pointed out that modules.h should be included, then kernel.h. Is
there a place where I can find out more about header file order dependencies?
(damn - that sounds like a Microsoft help question)

Actually, the symbols in question aren't in modules. The kernel is module
enabled, but all drivers are being compiled in (this is for an embedded
system). My external module (which needs to grab the timer interrupt) is in a
separate source tree.
Thanks for the printk info - I guess bon
Interrupt service routine of a driver makes a wake_up_interruptible_all()
call to wake up a kernel thread. Is that legitimate? Thanks for any
advice

This _may_ be misleading. I had several boxes where I patched ssh 1

I still have not figured out the magic that creates the .ver files which
would resolve your concern with the symbol versions, but I do know that
you can edit the .ver file yourself (under /usr/src/linux/include/modules/)
and add entries. This will eliminate the funny versioning, as in:

A builtin non-PCI USB-host controller, that is. And the driver is in the
kernel so we do support it as well :)

How can I kill such D state processes under 2.4.5?
Have a bunch of "sleeping" mount requests, I can't even
kill them.
