2021-01-27 Thread Rene Rebe
Debugging some bizare memory corruption in certain kernel configs on some machines, I noticed MPSC (1st gen Intel X64 Nocona) is missing in selecting X86_INTEL_USERCOPY and X86_USE_PPRO_CHECKSUM. Unless someone has a good reason not to, I think MPSC should select the two, and maybe MATOM should als

[PATCH v3] zstd compressed firmware loading

2020-12-15 Thread Rene Rebe

Hi Adrian, first front off: thanks for the phantastic 2.6.16 stable maintenance. Currently I wonder if you have any plan for doing the 2.6.16 review for let's say "years", or if you "soon" pick some new series such as 2.6.20 or so for long-term maintenance. I ask because I wonder if I should wai
