I should really seperate them out earlier.. Greg, The first two patches are on devmem. 2.6.32 also needs fixing, however the patches can only apply cleanly to 2.6.33. I can do backporting if necessary. [PATCH 1/4] devmem: check vmalloc address on kmem read/write [PATCH 2/4] devmem: fix kmem write bug on memory holes The next two patches are on readahead. All previous kernel needs fixing, and the patches can apply cleanly to 2.6.32, too. [PATCH 3/4] vfs: take f_lock on modifying f_mode after open time [PATCH 4/4] readahead: introduce FMODE_RANDOM for POSIX_FADV_RANDOM Thanks, Fengguang -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
