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?  

Steve
