Hi Alan,
Instead of having SMP-specific code and doing a sequence of (on SMP):
test if count is 0
take a spinlock
test if count is still 0
we could make use of the atomic primitive
atomic_dec_and_lock()
and do it in one go, which is cleaner, imho.

Hi,
I have one small problem with 2.4.0-test11 and exec_usermodehelper.
When vmware modules shutdown (specifically vmnet-netifup), kernel tries
to load some module through call_usermodehelper, but unfortunately
from task which has current->files == NULL.
So it prints message:

That simple program will tell you that an unsigned long is 4 bytes, or 8
bytes.

Hello all,
I have used patch from GCC-PATCHES list
posted by Bernd Schmidt .
Because of high importance I am forwarding this patch to
Linux-Kernel. Patch seems to solve problem.
I have added warning print for case of problem,
to find which parts of Linux kernel could be affected by this GCC
bug.

This patch will allow you from something like lilo to do the following:

In the current ac97_codec, computation of attenuation values may overflow
the register width, thus resulting in maximum volume when minimum was requested.
This patch adds overflow checks and limitations.

I'm going to be mounting a filesystem that uses a block device from inside
the kernel. This mount will not be visible from userland nor can it be
unmounted from userland. Is anyone else doing something like this so we can
coordinate on the changes needed to fs/super.c?

Hi Matthew, David, Linus,
any particular reason why the support for special dongles in the usb-storage
driver can not be selected during kernel configuration? (See attached patch).
I can only tell about the Freecom support in the usb-storage driver: It
works flawlessly for me driving some OnStre
Alan, here's the DMI info you requested. Sorry about the delay.
The BIOS listed is a new test BIOS that has a *corrected* APM that I

who the right people wer

Hi!
Here're some notes about my problem:
· problems with awe64 soundcard
· maybe it has something to do with changes in sound.c in
vers. 2.4.0-test11?
a general description of the problem:
· i'm getting some kernel-oopses while loading awe_wave.o .
· This soundcard (Creative Soundblaster AWE

Hi!
I didn't know which driver was the right one for my network card so I
just compiled all network-card drivers that where listed into my kernel
I tried it with test9 and test11. The DS21140 Tulip driver found my card
and crashes the system during boot up. My card is a Davicom 9102(?). It's
work
Some of these sub-drivers are immature, even for the CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
label. AFAIK, a patch is pending to make Freecom support appear -- it's
definately ready for prime-time, having been extensively tested by several
people.

Am I foolish to expect the aironet4500_cs (and friends) to work with
my shiny new Cisco Aironet 340 pcmcia card?
If not, anybody got any helpful hints on how to get things off the
ground?

Hi!
I'm afraid they have only one with intel RISC on board for hardware raid,
which amkes these card rather exensive for me wanting multilple channels,
