The logic that decides that a fork() might be able to avoid copying a VM area when it can be re-created by page faults didn't know about the new vm_insert_page() case. Also make some things a bit more anal wrt VM_PFNMAP. Pointed out by Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Signed-off-by:Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

This finally fixes the radeon memory mapping bug that was incorrectly fixed by the previous patch. This time, we use the actual vram size as the size to calculate how far to move the AGP aperture from the framebuffer in card's memory space. If there are still issues with this patch, they are due to bugs in the X driver that I'm working on fixing too. Signed-off-by:

We have found some issues with Au1550 AC'97 OSS driver in 2.6 (sound/oss/au1550_ac97.c), though it also should concern 2.4 driver (drivers/sound/au1550_psc.c). start_dac() grabs a spinlock already held by its caller, au1550_write(). This doesn't show up with the standard UP spinlock impelmentation but when the different one (mutex based) is in use, a lockup happens. And the interrupt handlers also didn't grab the spinlock -- that's OK in the usual kernel but not when the IRQ handlers are threaded. So, they're grabbing the spinlock now (as every correct interrupt handler should do). Signed-off-by:

While doing some testing I discovered that if the BIOS on a board does not properly setup the DMI information it leads to a panic in the IPMI code. The panic is due to dereferencing a pointer which is not initialized. The pointer is initialized in port_setup() and/or mem_setup() and used in init_one_smi() and cleanup_one_si(), however if either port_setup() or mem_setup() return ENODEV the pointer does not get initialized.

The following patch fixes a bug where if the journal is aborted, it can leave a transaction open. The result will be a BUG when another code path attempts to start a transaction and will get a "nesting into different fs" error, since current->journal_info will be left non-NULL.

This should have been part of the original io error patch, but got dropped somewhere along the way. It's extremely important when handling the i/o error in the journal to not commit the transaction with corrupt data. This patch adds that code back in. Signed-off-by:

Also, disable on sparc64 - a number of people report breakage. Probably a compiler bug, but it's quite possible that it tickles some latent kernel problem too. It still defaults to 'y' everywhere else (when enabled through EXPERIMENTAL), and Dave Jones points out that Fedora (and RHEL4) has been building with size optimizations for a long time on x86, x86-64, ia64, s390, s390x, ppc32 and ppc64. So it is really only moderately experimental, but the sparc64 breakage certainly shows that it can trigger "issues". Signed-off-by:
