Hi,
I read that the hard limit of the number of the users on
2.2.x is 65000 and on 2.4.x it will be more.
I just wonder if it is true and if we have to wait for 2.4.x
to have more that 65000 users with kernel's quota management ?
Thanks

Hi Linus,
It seems that the TCP code has morphed again, breaking the RPC over
tcp write_space() calls. Basically it seems that the current version
of the tcp code no longer allows us to specify that we'd like to wait
until a specific number of bytes are free in the buffer (udp is
unchanged).

My major comment is that you should use "SEND_DIAGNOSTIC" instead of a

Marty,
I think they said they could care less about kernel debuggers. Just go
write one, use Keith's or ours or whatever, and do what you want with
your Linux development -- Linus doesn't seem to care if you just make a
fork of Linux or someone else does with a debugger for your projects.
This patch prevents scsi_ioctl_send_command() from overwriting the SEND
DIAGNOSTICS (Drive Self Test) reserved bits in cmd[1], as found in SCSI-3.
Code provided by Michael Landrus of Dell.
Comments are requested. If there are no objections, Linus and Alan please
apply.

Biggest understatement this side of Linux 2.4. :-) Cool. Will test.

Please not that all of this is the same boot.

ARCnet does ACK in hardware. Packets don't hit the wire until the
destination has indicated that it's got a buffer available.
You really want to be able to reserve space on the queue

If a program checks
Hi!
Beeing an active user mode linux user :-) I can say that since
2.4.0-test8 (host kernel) I cannot run uml-linux successfully.
In contrast with popular feeling that "threaded programes screwed
signal handling on test8.", it is actually a small change to
arch/i386/ptrace.c introduced since

I just found out that my earlier statement "2.2.x is okay" should be
changed to "win98 is okay" so there are definitely problems with sharing
PCI irqs between eepro100/3c59x/(rtl)8139(too) in both 2.2.x and 2.4.x. I
utterly don't care about 2.2.x but I am in the mood to find out

Hi!
I just got the 2.4.0-test8 (test9 did the same), set it up, compiled it (same
procedure as I always do when I'm installing a new kernel):
make menuconfig
make dep clean zlilo modules modules_install
Okay, 2.4.0-testX said it was too big, so I tried bzImage instead of zlilo and
did a
cp

Linus, please think this over before applying Andi's patch.

This is an old problem. There was a thread on this topic last March.
