I've seen the same arguments over and over again here. It seems that there
are two feasible ways to accomplish persistence: totally kernel and
totally user-space
The totally kernel-space people want to make a way for modules to store

Ok, but why doesn't 2.2.16 exhibit this behavior?
We've had reports from quite a number of people complaining about
this and I'm fairly certain not all of them are from Earthlink.

Hmm. One of these weird bandwidth limiters again?
In a more recent mail, TCP header compression in Win98 or Earthlink's

The address_space::writepage callback is called from try_to_swap_out()
path, and also from the filemap_sync_pte() path. There appears to be no
way to tell the difference between the two callers. This is not good
because the semantics are very different: "sync this page" versus "page

On a related topic, I've pulled down your stuff at sourceforge and we
are using it for our 2.4 build. Is this the baest place or do you have
somewhere more recent and is this the list to report bugs? We have seen
some problems with IBM thinkpads with DSP devices having some

How long ago was this? I would need to know
I can't get raid-2.2.18-A2 to apply cleanly on 2.2.18pre19. Does
anyone know of a newer raid-2.2.18preX patch? (pre18 or pre19 would
be great).
Here's the output I get...

Hunk #4 succeeded at 1631 (offset 4 lines).

The UID/GID mapper should be sepatate from the regex rewriting rules.
Both should be separate from NFS, because they have little to do with NFS.
These are useful generic VFS features. It would be perfectly reasonable
to use these features on a Zip disk with UFS (from MacOS X maybe).

hi,
As you've suggested, you'd be better off not using the load
average but rather some other measure (or combination of
measures) to figure out when you have enough spare cycles or
bandwidth.
The "pmie" tool might be useful to you - here's a contrived
example I just knocked up (instead of a

Hello everybody,
I am fairly new to the kernel programming, in fact it's my first attemt
at it. As an exercise I was trying to back-port cramfs code to the 2.2.x
kernel, and I seem to have succeeded! The only thing still not working
are symlinks. There are 2 routines in the code,
This sounds to me like the most flexible way to do it. If the module accepts
parameters then those who want the sound card initialized at every load can put
the desired settings in modules.conf. The rest of us can just initialize it
once at boot time and the rest of the time the settings will

What's up with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE? It is
set in .config by "make config", but it not
used by the kernel.
I checked the cvs tree and see that it was used
for in a single rev of the file. Looks to me
like this change may have been lost by accident.
Can anyone confirm or deny? Is
Hi.
If I compile a 2.4.0-test10 kernel without pci support I get a compile
error in both drivers/isdn/hisax/nj_u.c and nj_s.c. The patch below
fixes these in what I hope is the Right Way. But I am not sure, so
Linus is not cc'ed on this. Please forward to him if the patches are
correct.
