The summary of the bugs, the SMP-safe fix explanation and the patch file are all available at http://www.gr.opengroup.org/java/jdk/linux/kernel1.htm Best regards, -Eric P.S. The patch file contains the fix against a clean 2.1.111 P.S.2 I have just seen that the 2.1.112 is out (and that a cleaner 2.1.113 is about to be available :-) If you want me to adapt the fix for 2.1.113 and test it on my 4-way SMP, just let me know. Right now, it works correctly on 2.1.111. +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ Eric PAIRE Email : e.paire@gr.opengroup.org | THE Open GROUP - Grenoble Research Institute Phone : +33 (0) 476 63 48 71 | 2, avenue de Vignate Fax : +33 (0) 476 51 05 32 | F-38610 Gieres FRANCE - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Please read the FAQ at http://www.altern.org/andrebalsa/doc/lkml-faq.html
