Hi,
I had an interesting effect: Due to NVdriver I had a lot of system
freezes, and I had to reboot. Using e2fsck 1.19a (SuSE 7.1) I got the
message that one specific "Special (device/socket/fifo) inode .. has
non-zero size. FIXED."
Interestingly I got the message for every reboot. So either

It only does that for the atari, where the driver isnt used by other things

It is just for debugging. The message can go. If anytbing it would be more
useful to tack Failed alloc data on the end
I'm seeing stalls sending packets to some clients. I see this problem
under 2.4 (2.4.1 and 2.4.1ac17) but not under 2.2.17.
My theory is there is an ICMP black hole between my server and some of its
clients. Is there a tool to pinpoint that black hole if it exists?
Can anyone suggest another

No improvement. (In fact, 2.4.2ac3 breaks 3ware IDE RAID support.)

Your patch does not work at all because you are relying on the
data in the part component of the hd structure, which does not
hold the geometry data of the disk but the data of the partitions
on that disk. Besides

I am currently writing a device driver that must listen to a socket
connection in kernel space. By looking at various code, I found out that
many drivers in the kernel use the socket->sk->sleep wait queue to queue
themselves on that list and get waken_up() by the socket.
My question is : if I

Hi all,
please take a look at attached patches (2.4.2-ac1):
cyclades.c: remove panic() calls;
serial.c: ioremap() checks, better error handling in start_pci_pnp_board() function
(dectivate/deinit device on failire), remove panic() calls.
Also I have some questions:
- trying to remove
Usually identd's on Linux parse /proc/net/tcp.
When migrating from Linux 2.2.17 to 2.4.2 identd became much slower.
I traced it back to the point where /proc/net/tcp is read.
On the same slightly loaded system:
2.2.17 $ time cat /proc/net/tcp >/dev/null

Well, I obviously strace'd it to find out why I get a memory fault without

I've been noticing some weird cache/swap behavior under 2.4.1 and
2.4.2. If there is a large amount of allocated cache space, a program
requests a lot of RAM, and then the program exits, then one can end up
using lots of swap while having a hefty cache, which doesn't make much
sense. Here is a
