Hi Linus,
The Makefile changes broke compiling drivers/media, such as bttv,
as kernel modules. Below is the patch against test13-pre3 to fix it.
Please apply.

Hi,
Basically this new swap_writepage function looks for dirty swapcache pages
which may be contiguous (reverse and forward searching wrt to the physical
address of the page being passed to swap_writepage) and builds a page list
which is written "at once".
The patch is against test13pre3.

Hi Neil,
This sounds good. Any plans on implementing a backport of the nfs
filesystem layer for handling inodes that you put together for
2.4. Ie.. the code that reiserfs uses in 2.4 to properly work with knfsd

Hi !
I use the usb bus. Mostly it is for a mouse and today, I have installed a
scanner. I've read the documentation (yes!) in
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/usb/scanner.txt
There is a mention about the usbdevfs and an advice to add a line in
