      [PATCH] unpaged: sound nopage get_page · 1cdca61b
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Something noticed when studying use of VM_RESERVED in different drivers:
      snd_usX2Y_hwdep_pcm_vm_nopage omitted to get_page: fixed.
      
      And how did this work before?  Aargh!  That nopage is returning a page from
      within a buffer allocated by snd_malloc_pages, which allocates a high-order
      page, then does SetPageReserved on each 0-order page within.
      
      That would have worked in 2.6.14, because when the area was unmapped,
      PageReserved inhibited put_page.  2.6.15-rc1 removed that inhibition (while
      leaving ineffective PageReserveds around for now), but it hasn't caused
      trouble because..  we've not been freeing from VM_RESERVED at all.

      [PATCH] USB: URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag removed from the kernel · b375a049
      Alan Stern 提交于
      29 July 2005, Cambridge, MA:
      
      This afternoon Alan Stern submitted a patch to remove the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK
      flag from the Linux kernel.  Mr. Stern explained, "This flag is a relic
      from an earlier, less-well-designed system.  For over a year it hasn't
      been used for anything other than printing warning messages."
      
      An anonymous spokesman for the Linux kernel development community
      commented, "This is exactly the sort of thing we see happening all the
      time.  As the kernel evolves, support for old techniques and old code can
      be jettisoned and replaced by newer, better approaches.  Proprietary
      operating systems do not have the freedom or flexibility to change so
      quickly."
      
      Mr. Stern, a staff member at Harvard University's Rowland Institute who
      works on Linux only as a hobby, noted that the patch (labelled as548) did
      not update two files, keyspan.c and option.c, in the USB drivers' "serial"
      subdirectory.  "Those files need more extensive changes," he remarked.
      "They examine the status field of several URBs at times when they're not
      supposed to.  That will need to be fixed before the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag
      is removed."
      
      Greg Kroah-Hartman, the kernel maintainer responsible for overseeing all
      of Linux's USB drivers, did not respond to our inquiries or return our
      calls.  His only comment was "Applied, thanks."
