Hi
There is a bug in the softdog.c (v 0.05) in the 2.4 kernel series
(certainly in 2.4.29 and there are no references to it in the latest
Changelog) that won't reboot the machine if /dev/watchdog is closed
unexpectedly and nowayout is not set. The softdog.c (v 0.07) in 2.6.11
is not affected, but

Likely because only 1632 bytes of me
Thanks for the helpful comments I am working on a patch to fix your

Hello,
I am in the process of testing static defect analyzer on a Linux
kernel source code (see disclosure below).
I found some potential array bounds violations. The pattern is as
follows: bytes are copied from the user space and then buffer is
accessed on index strlen(buf)-1.

The attached patch adds support for using cpuid(4) instead of cpuid(2), to get
CPU cache information in a deterministic way for Intel CPUs, whenever

Hi again.
Okay. I'll leave mtd_blkdevs as NO_FREEZE and remove the superfluous
bluetooth addition.
