[PATCH 0/9] UML various fixes for 2.6.16

From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Date: Tue Jan 17 2006 - 19:26:05 EST


Merge various fixes, mainly for locking issues.

A bit of attention is to give to "uml: avoid malloc to sleep in atomic
sections". It's really an hack, but we already use this hack in a more buggy
way (see the patch).

In practice, when malloc() is called, it's translated in
a call to kmalloc(GFP_?), where ATOMIC or KERNEL is used depending on
in_atomic() and in_interrupt().
