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 patch59.gz
- Oops, a tty_struc pointer got dereferenced before the check for null
in the Secure Attention Key code.
- Improved the code that sets the mode when opening a new file.
- Added inode_setattr and inode_change_ok to the ksyms list.
- Ugly code added in the __get_dma_pages routine (but nobody seems to call it).
- Oops, URG PUSH fix in 1.1.58 broken rlogin. Fixed harder this time.
- recv(...,MSG_OOB) never blocks in the BSD (our) api.
- Remove select() debugging code.
