I tried patching the 2.2.1 kernel w/ the latest patch on ftp.us.kernel.org
(19990128-2.2.0). Everything worked ok except for the patch against:
mm/mmap.c
Seems that this patch is trying to do the following:
***************
*** 556,562 ****
unsigned long start, unsigned long end)
{
unsigned long first = start & PGDIR_MASK;
- unsigned long last = (end & PGDIR_MASK) + PGDIR_SIZE;
if (!prev) {
prev = mm->mmap;
--- 556,562 ----
unsigned long start, unsigned long end)
{
unsigned long first = start & PGDIR_MASK;
+ unsigned long last = ((end-1) & PGDIR_MASK) + PGDIR_SIZE;
if (!prev) {
prev = mm->mmap;
BUT that line is actually:
unsigned long last = (end + PGDIR_SIZE -1) & PGDIR_MASK;
...
I'm not at all familiar with this level of the kernel so does anyone
know if this is ok to leave?
