Problem Details: With Au1xx0 Ethernet driver, TX bytes/packets always remain zero. The problem seems to be that when packet has been transmitted, the length word in DMA buffer is zero. The patch updates the TX stats when a buffer is fed to DMA. The initial 2.4 patch was posted to linux-mips@linux-mips.org by Thomas ...

Problem Details: free_pgtables() has special logic to call hugetlb_free_pgd_range() instead of the normal free_pgd_range() on hugepage VMAs. However, the test it uses to do so is incorrect: it calls is_hugepage_only_range on a hugepage sized range at the start of the vma. is_hugepage_only_range() will return true if ...

Analyze and fix the following issue in the Linux kernel code: [PATCH] hugepage: serialize hugepage allocation and instantiation
Problem Details: Currently, no lock or mutex is held between allocating a hugepage and inserting it into the pagetables / page cache. When we do go to insert the page into pagetables or page cache, we recheck and may free the newly allocated hugepage. However, since the number of hugepages in the system is strictly l...
