Parport fifo stuck when printer out of paper

Hi, When my parport printer runs out of paper and there are still pending print jobs, the kernel will constantly log the following: DMA write timed out parport0: FIFO is stuck parport0: BUSY timeout (1) in compat_write_block_pio To me it's pretty pointless to fill dmesg and the logfiles with t

Fix for Donald Becker's DP83815 network driver (v1.07)

The attached patch fixes the following problems with the DP83815 driver (natsemi.c): 1. When compiled into the kernel, the cards would be registered multiple times. 2. Autonegotiation code was buggy, causing the card to stop working after autonegotiation. -- - Steve Hill System Administrator

RFC: pageable kernel-segments

Would anyone be intrested (besides me) in a kernel which can page out certain parts of itself? The kernel should be in some kind of vmlinux-ish (as in: uncompressed) format on disk for on-demand re-loading of pages which are discarded. Certain parts of drivers could get the __pageable prefix or so

Thanks a lot, andrea, this patch (I only applied the rwsem one) finally fixes the rwsem compile problem with gcc-3.0-20010417. Now I can get a working kernel ;-) -mirabilos - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL

Re: Documentation of module parameters.

You can use the "modinfo" utility (Do "man modinfo".) In particular modinfo -p driver.o will give any parameters that can be set in driver.o. If the module author has used the MODULE_PARM_DESC() macro, more documentation can be found.

block devices don't work without plugging in 2.4.3

Well, anyway, as far as I can tell, the following has been lost from __make_request() in ll_rw_blk.c since the 2.4.0 days: out: - if (!q->plugged) - (q->request_fn)(q); if (freereq) The result appears to be that if a block device has called blk_queue_pluggable() to r
