Hi,
We are doing work with FPGA's and have a Linux driver for a particular
board that has these
devices. For performance reasons the driver has the ability to DMA
directly to process (user)
memory. We have made use of the kiobuf routines such as
"map_user_kiobuf()" to map into
physical memory the

I misconfigured my Linux 2.2.18 kernel: forgot to include the network

So it just sat there waiting for the root floppy... Then I recompiled

OK guys, you were right. The bug was in our code - sorry for trouble.
Turns out that while I was away, the problem was solved by someone else. The
problem is probably related to the fact that when we did
'spin_lock_irqsave(c,d)', 'd' was a global variable. The fix was to wrap the
call with another

Hi,
using Donald Becker's tulip.c:v0.92 on Linux 2.2.16,
if I bring down an interface using ifconfig and
bring it back up again, when I transmit data on the

Any workarounds/fixes ?

If it really is the case that CONFIG_NCR885E is history, then it

This patch, against 2.4.2-ac14, removes CONFIG_NCR885E from Configure.help.

Or a trap. I'm not about to go anywhere near this and won't even look at
the licience but I bet the M$ argument will go something like:
You've looked at the code.
You now know things that are propriatary to M$.

I have a few comments/questions on the elv. alg. as it is now. Some
of them may be based on a flawed understanding, but please be patient
anyway :-).
1) read-ahead is given the same 'latency' [max-wait priority] as 'read'
I can see r-a as being less important than 'read' -- 'read' means

Hello,
I've been experiencing since 2.4.2-ac5 (I'm not sure about this) some
oops on one of my PCs: it's a Pentium Classic 166, 84 MB of RAM, kernel
2.4.2-ac12.
It works as a gateway (doing NAT) between my LAN and internet. I use a
ISDN card (Hisax HFC-PCI) and a NE2000 compatible nic (ne.c). I

With the current rd.c code, we can get into a situation where there is
a buffer-only page for data which is also in a page cache page with
page->buffers != NULL. The current vmscan.c code never frees the page
cache page in this scenario, effectively doubling ramdisk memory
requirements.

I'm interested in the thinking here (because I tend the other way).

You can modify your compiler, so that it accepts patches (with no context)
and completely rewrite anything that needs modified.
