Hi all,
Here is the second try for the atm refcount problem. I've made made
several enhancement over the previos patch. Can you take a look at it if
I've missed anything? (This time it also includes the driver for the
firestream card. That's why the patch is so large. It's gziped and
uuencoded).

Hi Linus,
We have isa_*() functions to access ISA memory space since a while.
I'm still missing isa_{request,release}_mem_region(), though.

If this is 2.2.17 then please send me the details.
If it's something earlier then you will need to use the 2.2.17 driver.
Or, even better, the 2.2.18

Hello all,
I am running a 2.4.0-test9 kernel and I have noticed a VM problem I
have not seen reported before. The machine is a uniprocessor Pentium
II with 2G of ram, and the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G and
CONFIG_HIGHMEM both set to y. I also have 512M of swap on the machine.

Hi Linus,
This patch renames the block_til_ready of generic serial to
gs_block_til_ready. This patch also exports the symbols needed by other
modules with generic_serial compiled into the kernel.
(it also helps when other modules have a "static block_til_ready"
defined. This IMHO is a bug in the

A simple polling scheme (i.e. not using poll() or select(), just looping

For one of our projects here, we've crashed head first into the 2 gig file size
limitation in Linux 2.2 kernels. While I know that this has been solved in
2.3/2.4, has there been any work to backport this feature into a Linux 2.2
kernel? I'm looking for a temporary solution until we can

Consider this:
A subsystem that is statically built into the Linux Kernel is modified
to allow the registration of a structure containing function pointers.
The function pointers corrolate to a set of functions within that subsystem.

Thats not the general consensus, but its worth trying in case it works best
for a given problem. In paticular it knows about bugs with combinatio

Dear Linus,
As you know we at MontaVista are working on a fully preemptable kernel.
In this work we have come up with a couple of issues we would like your
comments on.
First, as you know, we have added code to the spinlock macros to count
up and down a preemption lock counter. We would like t

Alan,
I agree with your point. In term of usability, the e100 driver has a wider
range of support for the Intel NIC cards.

If I use some GPL'd code and make calls from my software to the GPL'd
code, do I need to make *my* code available? Or would I only have to
make available any changes to the GPL'd code?
Section 2.b of the GPL seems to indicate that I need to make the source
for my entire executable available if i

However all software is *not* written to use LFS extended versions
of things. Often using defines of:

Does anyone have the IDE patches updated for 2.2.18-pre17? The version
