Diff between 2.2.20pre2aa1 and 2.2.20pre3aa1 (besides moving on top of 2.2.20pre3 that notably fixes the ptrace local DoS races): ------------------------------------------------------------ Only in 2.2.20pre2aa1: 00_andi-mark_bh-1 Merged in 2.2.20pre3. Only in 2.2.20pre3aa1: 00_alpha-pci-compile-1 Fix alpha pci_controller_num. (recommended) Only in 2.2.20pre3aa1: 00_newboot-2.2.20-pre2-1.diff.gz Support new boot protocol in sync with 2.4 for new bootloaders. (nice to have) Only in 2.2.20pre3aa1: 00_nfs-lseek-1 Make SEEK_CUR offset 0 to return the current vfs file offset on nfs to cure userspace. Fix from Andi. (recommended) Only in 2.2.20pre2aa1: 00_parent-timeslice-loss-fix-3 Only in 2.2.20pre3aa1: 00_parent-timeslice-loss-fix-4 Rebuild the asm_offsets.h for sparc and sparc64 after the ptrace fix and fixup the trivial reject generated by the ptrace DoS fixes. (recommended) Only in 2.2.20pre3aa1: 00_tcp-syn-during-established-1 Reject any duplicate syn carrying payload, process the syn during established after checking if rst is set in the incoming packet (that's a faster path) and send ack back after a duplicate valid syn.
