I cannot answer questions about Linux -- I merely summarize the kernel
patches after reading them. I try to make them useful to everyone,
but kernel hackers should take them with a grain of salt and read the
patches themselves. The patch file is patch-1.2.10.gz
These are expanded from Linus's description:
- sbpcd driver update (mainly longer timeouts and more robust open
code)
- some TEAC drives come with interface cards that only recognize a single drive.
- sonycd535 driver update (modularized, now reports verify_area
errors, and some 510/515 support fixes)
- fdomain SCSI driver update (mainly new signatures)
- SCSI tape fix (read-protected tapes)
- elf map fixups
- If we get an error while connecting a TCP socket, return that error.
