I have a consistent problem running 'make modules_install' after compiling. The
directory structure forms in /lib/modules, but no modules install. This problem
showed up under -rc6-mm1 and -rc6-mm2, but not -rc6. I'm hoping somebody has

Hello,
Under kexec, I/OAT initialization breaks over busy resources
because the previous kernel did not release them.
I'm not sure this fix can be considered a complete one but
it works for me. I guess something similar to the *_remove

On December 14, 2006, I posted a patch that added support to the
OProfile kernel driver for profiling Cell SPUs. There have been some
changes/fixes to this patch since the original posting (including
forward porting from 2.6.18-based kernel to 2.6.20-rc1), so I am
reposting the patch for revie
This is a clean up patch that includes the following changes:
-It removes some macro definitions that are only used once
with the actual code.
-Some comments were added to clarify the code based on feedback
from the community.
-The write_pm_cntrl() and
The code was setting up the debug bus for group 21 when profiling on the
event PPU CYCLES. The debug bus is not actually used by the hardware
performance counters when counting PPU CYCLES. Setting up the debug bus
for PPU CYCLES causes signal routing conflicts on the debug bus when
profiling
Linus, please apply before 2.6.20. Thanks.
The BUG in fuse_ctl_add_dentry() could be triggered if the control
filesystem was unmounted and mounted again while one or more fuse
filesystems were present.
The fix is to reset the dentry counter in fuse_ctl_kill_sb().

When the world was a simple and static place setting up irqs was easy.
It sufficed to allocate a linux irq number and a find a free cpu

Is there any way to estimate the size of the user base for 2.6.16?
e.g. how many downloads does it get?

I've seen it do it for example with EADS bridges. I haven't seen doing
it with devices (other than hiding entire functions) but I wouldn't

I also hit the same issue. Here is the patch:
Fix slab build failure if !CONFIG_ZONE_DMA
