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 patch44.gz
- SA_INTERRUP mis-spelled in QIC-02 tape driver.
- Added compatibility for 8390 clones in transmit busy code.
- Keep a per-process uid and gid for permission to access a file system.
Makes it easier/safer to implement the access() system call.
- Added system calls to change the fsuid and fsgid.
- memcpy_fromfs didn't work if you tried to move a constant 3 bytes
- Compiler compatibility:
- Added a few missing casts of structures.
- Removed use of keyword private and new.
- Don't take address of function in soundcard driver.
