I tried to use sendfile() to send data from a tcp/ip socket to a file on
disk. This does not work, giving EINVAL.
Using the very fine kgdb product (http://kgdb.sourceforge.net) and my laptop
for remote debugging, I was able to trace this to this:
sys/filemap.c::sys_sendfile():

Hi!
I have an Asus K7M motherboard with an AMD Irongate and a VIA VT82C686
connected to an IBM-DPTA-372050 and/or IBM-DTLA-307030.
I ever had IDE-DMA problems since I got the board in the beginning of
this year.
Until Kernel 2.4.0-test7 (or test6 or 8?) it was not possible to use a
ATA-66 cable

It seems to me the original code was correct, but the linking isn't in the
right order and the initcalls are in the wrong

Hi Alan,
here's a fix for a blindingly stupid bug that's been in
2.2 for ages (and which I've warned you about a few times
in the last 6 months, and which I've even sent some patches
for).
This patch should make 2.2 VM a bit more stable and should
also fix the complaints from people who's system

Of course. This list of priorites is very natural, I think:
1. Working SMP

During boot, I get the message:
PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 00:00.1. Please try
using pci=biosirq.
If I boot with pci=biosirq, as the error message suggests, I get the
same error, save the part about trying with pci=biosirq. This is with
version 2.4.0-test11-pre7 and as far
