The early-flush patch I posted a couple of days ago had the virtue of being

loads that are neither continously heavy or light. Today's patch is not a

I upgraded a fileserver to 2.4.5 because of the RAID support (the 0.90
patch I grabbed did not apply cleanly to 2.2.19, despite it being a fresh
copy). Besides a nice speed increase (the EEPro now pumps 10 megs a second,
instead of 2 or 3), there is a problem with the video4linux in it.

The patch below adds one instance of vmalloc return code checking
and a number of error path resource release cleanups in build_maps.
It is against 245-ac16.

Currently it tracks O_EXCL on open() and sets a flag, whereby no other
open() calls can succeed. Is this functionality really needed? Perhaps it

It would be much easier to use a memcmp.

Linux is normally loaded either directly as a bootable floppy image or from
hard disk via a boot loader called lilo. The kernel image is transferred
into low memory and a parameter block above it.
When booting from floppy disk the B

Ah. Missed that.

Hello,
the following kernel-oops message I've found in my syslogs.
As it's a production system, I'd very happy for a feedback/help. If you need
further information, please let me know.
As I'm not on the list, please cc: me.
Christian.

Hi,
Is there a reason for __FD_SETSIZE to be 1024 in
linux/posix_types.h and gnu/types.h ?
Why can't we increase this number by default ?
Shouldn't it be set to the real limit of the kernel ? (And let
applications define their own limit if there is a need for one ?)

Hello,
I've been trying to update my home (originally RedHat 7.0) linux server
from the 2.4.4 kernel to the 2.4.5 kernel. On other servers I've had no
problems at all, but for some reason my Gateway GP7-550 P-III at home is
being stubborn. I've reconfigured and rebuilt numerous times hoping t
Hello,
the attached patch fix a problem with fbgen when changing the
RGBA components but not the depth ; fbgen would not change
the colormap in this case, where it should.
