However, burning does not work completely yet. The cdrecord starts,

This the quasi-S/G patch for ub as suggested by Jens Axboe at OLS and
implemented that night before 4 a.m. Surprisingly, it worked right away...
Alas, I had to skip some OLS partying, but it was for the good cause.
Now the speed of ub is quite acceptable even on partitions with small
block size.
The ub does not really support S/G. Instead, it just tells the block
layer that it does. Then, most of the time, the block layer merges
requests and passes single-segmnent requests down to ub; everything
works as before. Very rarely ub gets an unmerged S/G request. In such
case, it issues several commands to the device.
I added a small array of counters to monitor the merging (sg_stat).

[PATCH] fix klist semantics for lists which have elements removed on traversal
The problem is that klists claim to provide semantics for safe traversal of
lists which are being modified. The failure case is when traversal of a
list causes element removal (a fairly common case). The issue is that
although the list node is refcounted, if it is embedded in an object (which
is universally the case), then the object will be freed regardless of the
klist refcount leading to slab corruption because the klist iterator refers
to the prior element to get the next.
The solution is to make the klist take and release references to the
embedding object meaning that the embedding object won't be released until
the list relinquishes the reference to it.

replaced with other than break instruction, then we continue to execute
from the replaced instruction, else if we find that it is still a break,
then we let the kernel handle this, as this might be the break instruction

[PATCH] Kprobes: prevent possible race conditions generic
There are possible race conditions if probes are placed on routines within the
kprobes files and routines used by the kprobes. For example if you put probe
on get_kprobe() routines, the system can hang while inserting probes on any
routine such as do_fork(). Because while inserting probes on do_fork(),
register_kprobes() routine grabs the kprobes spin lock and executes
get_kprobe() routine and to handle probe of get_kprobe(), kprobes_handler()
gets executed and tries to grab kprobes spin lock, and spins forever. This
patch avoids such possible race conditions by preventing probes on routines
within the kprobes file and routines used by kprobes.
I have modified the patches as per Andi Kleen's suggestion to move kprobes
routines and other routines used by kprobes to a seperate section
.kprobes.text.
Also moved page fault and exception handlers, general protection fault to
.kprobes.text section.

As for why this doesn't happen in ext3 (or OCFS2 during normal
