A segmentation fault can occur in kimage_add_entry in kexec.c when loading a kernel image into memory. The fault occurs because a page is requested by calling kimage_alloc_page with gfp_mask GFP_KERNEL and the function may actually return a page with gfp_mask GFP_HIGHUSER. The high mem page is returned because it was swapped with the kernel page due to the kernel page being a page that will shortly be copied to. This patch ensures that kimage_alloc_page returns a page that was created with the correct gfp flags. I have verified the change and fixed the whitespace damage of the original patch. Jonathan did a great job of tracking this down after he hit the problem. -- Eric Signed-off-by: Jonathan Steel <jon.steel@esentire.com> Signed-off-by: Eric W.

PCMCIA abuses dev->private_data in the probe methods. Unfortunately it continues to abuse it after calling drv->probe() which leads to crashes and other nasties (such as bogus probes of multifunction devices) giving errors like pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.1 kernel: 0.1: GetNextTuple: No more items Extract the passed data before calling the driver probe function that way we don't blow up when the driver reuses dev->private_data as its right. As its close to the final release just move the hack so it works out, hopefully someone will be sufficiently embarrassed to produce a nice rework for 2.6.28.

Currently simple_tx_hash is hashing inside of udp fragments. As a result packets are getting getting sent to all queues when they shouldn't be. This causes a serious performance regression which can be seen by sending UDP frames larger than mtu on multiqueue devices. This change will make it so that fragments are hashed only as IP datagrams w/o any protocol information. Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
