currently active Linux kernel versions

Hi, which are the "currently active Linux kernel versions" at any point in time? The quote is taken from http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/11/29. Or more precisely: which are the "stable" versions I can depend on for a more or less critical server, those that have active security support or receive at

[PATCH 1/5] Remove trailing NULs from network bonding sysfs interface.

Also remove trailing spaces from multivalued files. This fixes output like for example: $ od -c /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves 000 e t h - l e f t e t h - r i g 020 h t \n \0 025 It mostly entails deleting '+1'-s after sprintf() calls:

[PATCH 2/5] net/bonding: Return nothing for not applicable values

The previous code returned '\n' (that is, a single empty line) from most files, with one exception (xmit_hash_policy), where it returned 'NA\n'. This patch consolidates each file to return nothing at all if not applicable, not even a '\n'. I find this behaviour more usual, more useful, more effic

[PATCH 3/5] net/bonding: Purely cosmetic: rename a local variable

Code for rendering multivalue sysfs files occurs three times in this module. Rename 'buffer' to 'buf' in the first, for the sake of consistency. Signed-off-by: Ferenc Wagner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- drivers/net/bonding/bond_sysfs.c |9 - 1 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-

[PATCH 5/5] net/bonding: Allow setting and querying xmit policy regardless of mode

For consistency with the behaviour of the arp_ip_target option, let /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/xmit_hash_policy accept and report current policy even if the bonding mode in effect does not use it. Signed-off-by: Ferenc Wagner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- drivers/net/bonding/bond_sysfs.c | 21 +++--

bonding sysfs output

Hi, Am I totally of the limit with the attached patch against drivers/net/bonding/bond_sysfs.c? I'd like to receive some comments, as I'm not a kernel developer. I propose it as a fix for trailing NULs and spaces like eg. $ od -c /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves 000 e t h - l
