Oh, I forgot to mention: I use a slight modification to your patch: you

The mouse problems have gone away with the 2.2.18-25 pre-patch. I

Hi.
This patch makes a 'defined but not used' warning go away when compiling
drivers/net/tokenring/smctr.c without module support (kernel 240t12p3).
(It should apply cleanly.)

Exactly, and you wouldn't set DPL=3 for interrupt 8 since a double-fault
can only occur from ring 0..

Hi.
(Does anyone know the maintainer of this code?)
When compiling drivers/net/rclanmtl.c (240t12p3) I get a warning about
incompatible pointer assignment. As far as I can tell it has appeared
because PU32 has been changed to __u32* since test9 (where it was an
unsigned long*). The following pat
Hello!
I just found two serious bugs in the YMF PCI legacy driver (i.e. the
driver that puts it to the Sound Blaster compatible mode).
pci_unregister_driver() was not called from the cleanup routine, which
caused a recoverable oops while running /sbin/lspci.
Also some module parameters were OR'

can't we just change rss to count pages?

Hi.
The following patch moves the page_table_lock in mm/* to cover the
modification of mm->rss in 240-test12-pre7. It was inspired by a
similar patch from davej(?) which covered too much, AFAIR. The item
is on Tytso's ToDo list.
Please comment.

Hi.
The following patch removes a 'defined but not used' warning from drivers/
