David,
The patch below fixes some problems I found in trying to use the
in-kernel pcmcia/cardbus support in 2.4.0-test8 on my 1999 G3

The first part of the patch fixes a simple endianness problem in cs.c.

Hi Linus,
Here's a resubmitted small optimization for the mm/filemap.c file.
- The `curr = curr->next;' statement doesn't need to be executed
if the repeat is taken. I used the list_for_each() macro to
accomodate this better.
Share and enjoy!

Hi,
Running on 2.2.17 / raid-soft (piii600/512ram) I have the

folk: no more resource available.
How can I run more that 500 process ? is there any
/proc to change or is the hard li

Yes, but if the queue is short processes are likely to remain
blocked in D state for more time and the chances to merge rq
are smaller.
IMHO we should add a way to give priority to rqs from
