Hello,
Sorry if that has already been posted, I read the m-l via newsgroups.

particular field and the name/type only indicate it is pointing to

Any thoughts about adding a 'fast path' to the SMP code in

Hi,
My IBM Thinkpad 600E changes between 100MHz and 400MHz depending if the
power is on. This means gettimeofday goes backwards if you boot with the
power out (tsc calibrated at 100MHz) and then plug the power in. (tsc is now
spinning at 4x speed, so offsets within the HZ timer period are 4x out

Intel are being remarkably reluctant on the documentation front.
I'm using an old Intel Pentium 90 mb -I think its "Plato". It's worked well
as a gateway and file server for over two years.
When I boot 2.2.17, the machine always hangs at the Real Time Clock driver.
Pressing any key gets it going, but this is a remote machine - which makes
it a real pain.

While we're at it, on my RH6.2 system db_185.h is in /usr/include,
i.e.
bash$ echo "`locate db_185.h` ($(rpm -qf `locate db_185.h`))"
/usr/include/db_185.h (glibc-devel-2.1.3-22)
FWIW, for my builds I've been using the following patch (hey, it works

The 600E's CPU doesn't actually use SpeedStep (it's only a 400MHz

This bug seems to be fixed in 2.4.2-ac16.

I've noticed this as well in my logs. In linux/include/net/tcp.h,
TCP_DEBUG is turned on; in linux/net/ipv4/tcp_input.c,
tcp_ack_update_window() contains the following:

printk(KERN_DEBUG "TCP: peer %u.%u.%u.%u:%u/%u shrinks window %u:%u:%u. Bad, what else

As always, the latest version of this driver is availalbe here:

me directly.

Hello,
one small question... Will O_DSYNC flag be available in Linux?
It is available at least on AIX, and HP-UX. The difference with O_SYNC is the
same as between fsync and fdatasync.
Any comments?

Folks, looks like we can simplify both the callers of read_cache_page
and function itself. Without breaking existing code.
a) all but two callers do the following:
page = read_cache_page(...);
if (IS_ERR(page))
goto fail;
wait_on_page(page);
Variant with saner locking is in the same place, called
ext2-dir-patch-b-S2.gz (no hash stuff, just an update of my part)
Comments?
