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 patch87.gz
- More Alpha work.
- Switch to release 3.3 of the SBPCD. Might work on a CreativeLabs CD200?
- I *think* we've finally gotten the MODULES right in .../drivers/char/Makefile.
- Turn on debugging in the SCSI CD-ROM driver and clean up the code some
(seems to be related to multisession).
- Change the error reporting on the SCSI tape driver when a SCSI command
was not completely successful.
- The NFS error EAGAIN is now mapped to the errno EAGAIN.
- Whoops! Make the vsprintf temporary number output buffer 66 instead
of 36 because of the Alpha's 64-bit architecture.
- Change the code that decides whether we should send an ICMP in
response to an ICMP message.
- Remember that a timer is running in the igmp code to avoid starting
another timer to do the same thing.
- If we do too many TCP retransmits, not only do we set an error in the
structure, but we also report the error.
