This patch against stock 2.2.19 is a backport of the task structure

In theory, and for just ip configuration, nothing.

Hi,
I upgraded from kernel 2.2.17 to 2.4.4. I used "make oldconfig" to be sure I
had as many of the prior settings as possible. Didn't change any of the old
settings. I am running under RedHat 6.2. And, yes, I did all the updates
required
to go to the 2.4.4 kernel.
I use a Seagate ATAPI tape dri

Hi,
The following patch addresses two issues:
- Buffer cache pages in the inactive lists are not getting their age
increased if they get touched by getblk (which will set the referenced bit
on the page). page_launder() simply cleans the referenced bit on such
pages and moves them to the acti

Actually I'd be just as happy to call the ARM pci_free_consistent()
behavior (BUG in_interrupt) the problem. Particularly if that ARM
patch works OK! I've gotten success reports with pci_pool from
folk using about half the architectures in
