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 patch39.gz
- hdparm.c is split out into its own file.
- IDE driver no longer complains about drives with heads>16.
- Changed the way drives are id'ed (no longer an option).
- Changed around a few IDE ioctls, added new ones for BLKRAGET, GETIDENTIFY.
- Mis-spellings of grab ("Unable to grab floppy IRQ") fixed.
- plip adds a few delays in its timeout code. Makes timeouts more reliable.
- Added scsicam.h.
- Add command line string for ramdisk=SIZE.
- Oops! We can now ptrace if if just the gids match.
- In the socket buffering, remember to carry the packet type across.
- Fix the "If we get an ICMP error while we've only sent a SYN, give up" code.
