Jeff, does it mean that you do not use code reviews on other projects?
It's not that hard to
This patch adds page aging similar to what was in 2.0. The patch
is quite straight forward but I've had one lockup that I have
been unable to reproduce. I don't know if the lockup was caused
by my patch or was a test8 bug.
This patch is supposed to improve interactive performance,

never managed to figure out what's wrong with the original;
maybe somebody who understands config-speak will know.

Thanks to Jens David, the 8139too net driver has been backported to
2.2.x kernels:

Although feedback is encouraged, it should be noted that this is an

Hi Alan,
[Thanks to Arjan van de Ven for mailing me a patch that I have modified]

Cheers,
Stephen

The bottom line is, 2.4.0-test8 works for me with this setup. I
