Also open-code xswap in its one use in michael_block. Some use of get_unaligned is probably needed as an add-on.

As all of the architectures that implement their own WARN_ON() all go through the report_bug() path (specifically handling BUG_TRAP_TYPE_WARN), taint the kernel there as well for consistency. Tested on avr32 and sh.

This patch ... http://readlist.com/lists/vger.kernel.org/linux-kernel/98/493342.html Thu, 15 May 2008 23:44:34 GMT The attached patches, which depend on kernel mode setting, will allow us to see some kernel messages even if a panic occurs while X is running. I think the approach is fairly sound (using a notifier to let mode setting drivers switch the front buffer), but there are some details to be worked out still: - the console needs to be switched earlier on, probably in panic(), so we don't lose messages (the current code will print ... http://readlist.com/lists/vger.kernel.org/linux-kernel/98/493331.html Thu, 15 May 2008 23:04:48 GMT We used to have a fixed-size resource table. If a device had twenty resources when the table only had space for ten, we didn't need ten warnings, so we added the ratelimit. Now that we can dynamically allocate new resources, we should only get failures if the allocation fails. That should be rare enough that we don't need to ratelimit the messages.
