It seems that in 2.4.4 suddenly the function "skb_cow" no longer

This means that for networking modules requiring this function, there

Hello!
I read net/ipv4/ipip.c. It seems to me that ipip_rcv() function after

Is there a some reason to do things this way instead of calling ip_rcv() for
"unwrapped" IP packet?

The problem was a not properly working cd-rw-device. I cleaned the optical

Actually I'd be just as happy to call the ARM pci_free_consistent()
behavior (BUG in_interrupt) the problem. Particularly if that ARM
patch works OK! I've gotten success reports with pci_pool from
folk using about half the architectures in

Hi,
The following patch addresses two issues:
- Buffer cache pages in the inactive lists are not getting their age
increased if they get touched by getblk (which will set the referenced bit
on the page). page_launder() simply cleans the referenced bit on such
pages and moves them to the acti

required
to go to the 2.4.4 kernel.
I use a Seagate ATAPI tape dri

I noticed discussion of the various Via KT133A chipset problems related to
Athlon optimized kernels has trailed off. Are people successfully using
the patch that Alan Cox posted, or are there still problems?
I just ran into this last night (I thought all the Athlon chipset bugs had
been fixed in
