Does the problem occur only with v4l? Did you back up your files? BTW, while spelunking the swap code I noticed this oddity: pte_t pte_mkdirty(pte_t pte) { (pte).pte_low |= _PAGE_DIRTY; return pte; } and similarly for 10 or so other functions - these functions just return the passed pte, and reassign it to the pte orginally passed. :-/ This dates from version 1.2.13. -- Daniel - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
