Hi,
We have a 8-way P-III, 16GB RAM running 2.6.8-1. We use this as
our server to keep source code, cscopes and do the builds.
This machine seems to slow down over the time. One thing we
keep noticing is it keeps running out of lowmem. Most of
the lowmem is used for ext3 inode cache + dentry

With the new stable series kernels, the .x versioning is being added to
EXTRAVERSION. This has traditionally been a space for local modification.
I know several distributions are using EXTRAVERSION for build numbers,
platform and assorted other information to differentiate their kernel
releases.

Hi Andrew,
Here is the simplified version of "nobh" support patch
for ext3 writeback mode. I took out all the complicated
logic and fallback to creating buffers in
ext3_truncate_block_page() if needed.
Looks sane ? Can you include it in -mm tree ?
Thanks,

The attached patch changes the key implementation in a number of ways:
(1) It removes the spinlock from the key structure.
(2) The key flags are now accessed using atomic bitops instead of
write-locking the key spinlock and using C bitwise operators.

Hi Wendy, Greg, all,
If IBM intends on our DPA management program to work for the JSM
products,
the ioctls are needed.
DPA support is a requirement for all Digi drivers, so it would
not be possible for me to remove them from my "dgnc" version
of the driver.
For the JSM driver, its up to you

This patch is against 2.6.11.
The Mobility docking station provides a PCI-based parallel port. Since
the docking station connects via Cardbus, such devices are removable.
Therefore, track which parallel ports are registered to each PCI device,
and remove them when the PCI device is

Dear All,
I have developed a small module in Fedora Core 3 with 2.6.9-1.667 kernel
version. This module uses the interruptible_sleep_on_timeout call and
one proc entry in it. After inserting the module when I try to cat the
/proc entry I got the following messages on the screen.
invoked!

OK, I have run some simple tests with JACK, Hydrogen, and 2.6.11.
2.6.11 does not seem to be much of an improvement over 2.6.10. It may
in fact be slightly worse. This was what I expected, as it appears that
a number of latency fixes in the VM got preempted by the 4-level page
Hi,

Hi
There is a bug in "make menuconfig". If one chooses 386 or 486 for cpu
type, CONFIG_X86_TSC=y is set in .config. This creates a kernel that is
unbootable on 386. Testing shows that it worked in 2.4.19, but is broken
from 2.4.20 onwards. Someone should definetely look into this.

Hi Christian,
I found the 2.6.11-rc3 patch. The oom killer modification from
Arcangeli was included in 2.6.11-rc3. Right? So this is correct, so
the problem is not related to Arcangeli modification.
Does anyone have idea?

Hi,
I have some questions regarding the page descriptors in the linux kernel with
discontig memory support.
According to my understanding memory for page descriptors is allocated from
the
bootmem allocator and that for pg_dat_t structure comes from the
node_remap_start addr.
So the first

Hello,
In the ChangeLog-2.6.11 file I read that the enhanced I/O accounting
data patch and the enhanced memory accounting data collection patch were
added. It's cool but I don't see how this stuff is used because
information is never dump in a file or send to an accounting application

Hello,
I just connected an Ultratrak SX8000 instead of the Ultratrak100 TX8,
and it seems to work without a problem...
