Only in 2.4.20pre11aa1: 00_extraversion-11 Only in 2.4.20rc1aa1: 00_extraversion-12 Rediffed. Only in 2.4.20pre11aa1: 00_module-locking-fix-1 Only in 2.4.20rc1aa1: 00_module-locking-fix-2 Readd the BKL too, to serialize against module callbacks (thanks to Andrew for noticing). Only in 2.4.20pre11aa1: 00_reduce-module-races-1 Only in 2.4.20rc1aa1: 20_reduce-module-races-1 Rename. Only in 2.4.20pre11aa1: 08_qlogicfc-template-aa-4 Only in 2.4.20rc1aa1: 08_qlogicfc-template-aa-5 Fix qlogic compilation. Only in 2.4.20pre11aa1: 20_sched-o1-fixes-5 Only in 2.4.20rc1aa1: 20_sched-o1-fixes-8 Further o1 sched fixes and improvements (on all the benchmarks). Only in 2.4.20pre11aa1: 9900_aio-12.gz Only in 2.4.20rc1aa1: 9900_aio-13.gz Further fixes, now fully functional with fs and rawio. More optimizations coming soon. Only in 2.4.20pre11aa1: 9910_shm-largepage-5.gz Only in 2.4.20rc1aa1: 9910_shm-largepage-6.gz Fixed, apparently ipc shm just couldn't use largepages at all in the original version (VM_BIGPAGE would never be set in the vma so it was only a fake that forbidden the vm to touch the SGA possibly showing improvements with bad VM algorithms, equivalent to mlock/SHM_LOCK), now ipcshm will use real large tlb entries too if the alignment/size suggested by userspace is correct (same as in shmfs). Only in 2.4.20pre11aa1: 9920_kgdb-3.gz Only in 2.4.20rc1aa1: 9920_kgdb-4.gz Allow only the admin to invoke kgdb (noticed by Andrew). Only in 2.4.20rc1aa1: 9941_ocfs-20021012.gz Only in 2.4.20rc1aa1: 9942_ocfs-compile-1 Updated to a recent snapshot. Andrea
