Only in 2.4.7aa1: 00_gcc-30-extern-static-1 Only in 2.4.7aa1: 00_gcc-30-reiserfs-1 minor gcc-3_0-branch compilation fixes. Only in 2.4.7aa1: 00_i_blocks-pipe-socket-1 Avoid fstat to return garbage in st_blocks for socket and pipe filedescriptors (the bug generate userspace troubles). Thanks to Andreas Schwab and various other suse guys for spotting it. Only in 2.4.7aa1: 00_net_rx_softirq-optimize-1 Microoptimization (__cpu_raise_softirq is required to be atomic against irqs, [side note: it is not required to be atomic against SMP]). Only in 2.4.7aa1: 00_paride-max_sectors-1 Merged s/max_segments/max_sectors/ fix from Sergij Kolisnyk to avoid generating requests with more segments than "cluster". Only in 2.4.7aa1: 00_sd-max_sectors-1 Allow sym driver to generate 512k scsi commands. Set max_sectors of the sd majors to 8*MAX_SEGMENTS, and the SHpnt->max_sectors of the sym to 8*MAX_SEGMENTS. All other devices should get backwards compatibility because when the ->max_sectors isn't specified by the lowlevel driver, it defaults to MAX_SECTORS. Only in 2.4.7pre8aa1: 40_blkdev-pagecache-6 Only in 2.4.7aa1: 40_blkdev-pagecache-7 Further fixes: serialize the cache coherency protocol against ->read_super and ->remount_sb to make sure the MS_RDONLY doesn't go away under us while we synchronize the caches (see update_buffers()) and also automatically serializes against the journal reply on a read only mount. Thanks to Chris Mason for spotting and helping fixing those races. Found also a race condition in invalidate_devices, we must lock down the super before messing with the fs, to ensure the fs doesn't go away under us. s_op->clear_inode then is not allowed anymore to lock_down the super, and if somebody does better to deadlock than to crash ;). Only in 2.4.7aa1: 50_uml-2.4.7-1.bz2 Only in 2.4.7pre8aa1: 50_uml-arch-2.4.5ac17.bz2 Only in 2.4.7pre8aa1: 50_uml-common-1.bz2 Only in 2.4.7pre8aa1: 51_uml-ac-to-aa-3.bz2 Only in 2.4.7aa1: 51_uml-ac-to-aa-4 Only in 2.4.7aa1: 53_uml-gcc-3.0-1 uml updates from Jeff Dike (in sync with 2.4.7-1 plus some minor fix just submitted). Known problems: For some reason lvm is not working correctly on alpha (not on x86!). Strange because nothing seems changed on the lvm side, it shouldn't be related to the sd_max-sectors changes either since the harddisks works otherwise ok. Since it is reproducible only on alpha so far it will be fixed in an later update (probably next week).
