Don't use alloc_vm_area()/free_vm_area() directly, instead define xen_alloc_vm_area()/xen_free_vm_area() and use them. alloc_vm_area()/free_vm_area() are used to allocate/free area which are for grant table mapping. Xen/x86 grant table is based on virtual address so that alloc_vm_area()/free_vm_area() are suitable. On the other hand Xen/ia64 (and Xen/powerpc) grant table is based on pseudo

Hello Andrew, I fetched (CVS) ext3 latest changes (3 July 2001) which include changing GFP_BUFFER to GFP_NOFS and now have random troubles with symlink files on ext3 filesystems. >From my experience over the last days with Linus's changes I find that GFP_NOIO worked perfectly. Below is Linus's response about bounce buffer change. I am late to work, but this evening will try to

Hi Jeremy. According to your suggestion, I recreated patches for Ingo's x86.git tree. And this patch series includes Eddie's modification. Please review and forward them. (or push back to respin.) Recently the xen-ia64 community started to make efforts to merge xen/ia64 Linux to upstream. The first step is to merge up domU portion. This patchset is preliminary for xen/ia64 domU linux
