The user-mode port of 2.4.0-test10 is available.
The stack overflows seen in test9 are fixed. The stack is now allocated as
four pages, the top two used as a kernel stack, the third is inaccessible and
acts as a guard page, and the lowest page contains the task structure.

Does autofs4 work yet
Autofs4 was fixed in 2.4.0-test10-pre6 or so. Autofs4 for 2.2.x has
been working for some time, though I just updated the 2.2 patch so it
doesn't stomp on autofs (v3).

Sorry for our mess mail, but we want to improve linux kernel.
We are glad to announce the 1st release of USAGI Project. The "USAGI"

As many other operating systems and routers, the Linux
In the Linux scheduler they use a circular queue implementation with round
robin. What is the advantage of this over just using a normal queue with a
back and front. Also does anyone know what a test plan for such a design
would even begin to look like. This is a project for a proposal going
Greetings,
I'm just getting started playing around with the lvm.
I've used the HP-UX lvm, and was giving the Linux
version a spin for the very first time when I ran into
some big problems:
Let me know if I'm doing something really stupid, but
something tells me a kernel oops is not a good sign!

I just tried version 2.4.0-test10 and found the AM53C974
driver does not get any kernel boot parameters when compiled
in the kernel.
This is my quick fix for it. It seems some other drivers
need similar changes too, but I do not have fixes for them
yet.
Thanks.

That's 283.2 nanoseconds per call, to save you the math.

Presumeably you'd immediately do a ret to some address, and there pop a
base address off the stack to get some global memory. Is that right?
Linus,
Were there no changes between test10-pre7 and test10?
I notice you didn't send out a Changelist.
The Changelists help me focus my testing.
Thanks,

I would tend to agree with Linus on that. If that's truly what
you're doing, it would be rather nonobvious.
Well, ok, opinion vs. opinion. The thing is, userspace code almost
*never* needs to care about link order -- and, not counting boot loader
magic, kernel code didn't care about

Also, the function remove_duplicates can be written using make rules
and functions. Using functions "foreach" "if" from make and
comparison you can easily build a function remove_duplicates in make,
no shell involved.
