Have you had any feedback about this patch? I applied it last night to
2.4.
I think there is a bug in ide-scsi. Please excuse me if I am wrong.
I have found independantly on 2 different machines, with 3 different
kernels (including 2.4), that certain conditions cause ide-scsi to lock
up irretrievably. Here is one condition which I know to reproduce the

A similar phenomenon happens when you simply copy a file - file A is read
into the cache and file B is written to the cache, until the memory runs
out. Then both start to flush at the same time, creating a horrible
performance hit (especially if A and B are on the same disk :)

In the just-released Red Hat 7.1 source disk, the file kernel-2.4.2-2.src.rpm

The fix in -ac3 eliminated the corruption but left the console

the corruptions resurfaced later. (Sorry about that.)

Hi
Im a newbe to Linux kernel, and Im trying to understand some networking
issues in kernel 2.4.
I will highly appreciate it if anyone could refer me to networking
documentation in general, and tcp / ip stack documentation in particular.
Ive been reading tcp/ip illustrated (vol. II), but it se

Hi Alan, linux-kernel,
Some of our customer reported a hang when modprobing nm256_audio,
this patch should fix the problem.

Hi,
Several pci_enable_device()s in drivers/sound happen _after_ accessing
PCI resources. I have moved them before the relevant first accesses.
(Untested, but should work.)
Against 2.4.3-ac9.

Jeff,
Thanks for the comments. This patch has been hanging too long already, the
drivers should be updated as given and I'll work up all the fixes and
another patch.

Hi,
this is my try for implementing the llseek operation on raw devices. The
reason is that lseek does a check on the limits of the undlying
filesystem and thus tends to err where the real device lies. Lseek check
takes the /dev/raw/rawX filesystem as limiting factor, not the device
that is bound

This must be a Troll. MS-DOS didn't have spin-locks and, when you
have multiple CPUs with one interrupt control

No. Sizes are not "logical". They are whatever you decide they are, ie
it's purely a complier convention.
At least earlier, size_t was defined as "unsigned int" in user mode, and
