I've just released Linux 2.4.35-pre2.
It contains a fix for bug in IPv6 which can be locally triggered.

I've just released Linux 2.4.34.2.
Only two fixes here, one from Pete Zaitcev to support USB high-speed HID,

in IPv6.
The patch and changelog will appear soon at the following locations:

for non-ram backed filesystems emulate with linear mappings. This
retains ABI compatibility with previous kernels at minimal code cost.

So, now we have tsc_disable, tsc_enabled and tsc_unstable.
I can understand the latter, but this lacks orthogonality IMHO.

tsc_disable should be renamed to tsc_disable_override or so, to signal
that it's only t

Hi,
When I boot using linux-2.6.21-rc4 on ThinkPad T41 with pl2303 USB
serial device plugged in, the kernel crashes.
The reason is struct usb_serial_port is referenced without checking
whether it is NULL or not.
Regards,

While booting, this entry is set to NULL in destroy_serial(),

I have some doubts about the loop to find the gfporder of a cache. For
the code below, its main purpose is to find a gfporder value that can
make the internal fragmentation less that 1/8 of the total slab size.
It is done by increase gfporder for low number to high(possibly 0 to
MAX_GFP_ORDER). Bu
Trec's are initialized early in main.c and then dump

Trec is a light weight tracing mechanism that places
trace information into a buffer. The contents of the
buffer is dumped when errors occurs or when enabled
via SYSRQ commands.

Hello,
this is just a QA / cosmetic fix .. nevertheless the documentation about
modules / drivers should be appropriate to the great work of those who
write all the real important stuff. :-)
