In gsm_dlci_data_kick() we call gsm_dlci_data_sweep() with the
"gsm->tx_lock" held so we can't lock it again inside
gsm_dlci_data_sweep().  I removed that lock from and added one to
gsmld_write_wakeup() instead.  The sweep function is only called from
those two places.

How to deal with bad memory e.g. reported by memtest86+ ?
#########################################################

There are three possibilities I know of:

1) Reinsert/swap the memory modules

2) Buy new modules (best!) or try to exchange the memory
   if you have spare-parts

3) Use BadRAM or memmap

This Howto is about number 3) .


BadRAM
######
BadRAM is the actively developed and available as kernel-patch
here:  http://rick.vanrein.org/linux/badram/

For more details see the BadRAM documentation.

memmap
######

memmap is already in the kernel and usable as kernel-parameter at
boot-time.  Its syntax is slightly strange and you may need to
calculate the values by yourself!

Syntax to exclude a memory area (see kernel-parameters.txt for details):
memmap=<size>$<address>

Example: memtest86+ reported here errors at address 0x18691458, 0x18698424 and
         some others. All had 0x1869xxxx in common, so I chose a pattern of
         0x18690000,0xffff0000.

With the numbers of the example above:
memmap=64K$0x18690000
 or
memmap=0x10000$0x18690000
