E-mail: jt@hpl.hp.com From: Jean Tourrilhes Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi, You know the story : another set of IrDA patches are ready to be incorporated in the Linux kernel. One one hand, minor cleanups of the stack, one the other hand nasty bugs in IrLPT and IrLAN (that could crash your kernel). Patches are mostly obvious and have been tested on 2.4.18-pre2 and 2.5.2-pre10 (because I still want to keep 2.4.X and 2.5.X in sync). Some patches will apply to 2.5.X with harmless line differences. The last patch, ir248_config-3.diff is only to sync 2.4.X with 2.5.X (Marcelo missed one bit). Have fun... Jean [FEATURE] : Add a new feature to the IrDA stack [CORRECT] : Fix to have the correct/expected behaviour [CRITICA] : Fix potential kernel crash ir247_irlan_dynalloc-2.diff : --------------------------- o [CRITICA] Don't pass the same skb to two different state machines o [CRITICA] Don't flag netdev as NETIF_F_DYNALLOC, because not kmalloc ir247_lpt_fix.diff : ------------------ o [CRITICA] Provide a valid skb when calling irlmp_connect_response() o [FEATURE] Display something meaningfull in /proc/net/irda/ircomm ir247_debug_warn.diff : --------------------- o [FEATURE] Remove compiler warning when not using DEBUG ir247_drv_region-2.diff : ----------------------- o [CORRECT] Cleanup check_region()/request_region() in various drivers ir248_config-3.diff : ------------------- o [FEATURE] Remove useless and confusing config option
