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 patch49.gz
- Switching to release 2.6 of SoundBlaster Pro CD-ROM driver. No real
changes, just cleaning up a few code sillynesses.
- Support changed to one or two floppy controllers (not up to four).
- Immediately after reading the ID bytes off the IDE driver, reset the
driver IFF it's a Quantum.
- Added a little more delay to turning off the ID information.
- Fixed spellling erors in ni5210 and ni6510 dirver messages.
- SCSI disk driver deleted the wrong disk device.
- Added a few calls to MAP_NR macro in filesystem buffer code (no change
in actual code).
- Set the block size of a file when an inode is created.
- MSDOS filesystem wasn't able to deal with files with embedded blanks
(supposedly illegal but DOS will let some intrinsics create them).
- A few more compatibility fixes.
- Create a macro for printing our return address.
- A whole bunch of embedded/trailing whitespace removed from skbuff.c
- Caught an off-by-one flag in TCP checksum code.
