Hi,
I get this during boot:
[ 40.821740] netconsole: eth1 doesn't exist, aborting.
Given that CONFIG_NETCONSOLE=y and CONFIG_8139TOO=m, I can imagine.
Is there a way to get this working without making 8139TOO=y or
NETCONSOLE=m?
thanks,
Jan

wing patches provide an alternative implementation of the
sys_indirect system call which has been discussed a few times.
This no system call allows us to extend existing system call
interfaces with adding more system calls.
Davide's previous implementation is IMO far more complex than
warranted.
This patch adds support to set the FD_CLOEXEC flag for the file descriptors
returned by eventfd, signalfd, timerfd.

Great, thank
This patch allows LSM modules filter incoming connections/datagrams
based on the process's security context who is attempting to pick up.
There are already hooks to filter incoming connections/datagrams
based on the socket's security context, but these hooks are not
applicable when one wants to do

On 32-bit x86, we have CONFIG_IRQBALANCE available,
but not on 64-bit x86. Why not?
I ask, because this feature seems almost essential to obtaining
reasonable latencies during heavy I/O with fast devices.
