Only in 2.4.10pre2aa1: 00_clear_pagetable-smp-1 Clear the pagetables only under the page_table_lock (from 2.4.8ac11). Only in 2.4.10pre2aa1: 00_copy_strings-str-1 Skip a not needed check (if str is null strnlen_user will take care of returning 0). Only in 2.4.10pre2aa1: 00_delayed-writes-fix-1 Fix delayed writes for numa systems (with numa emulation enabled it takes 10 minutes to delete a kernel tree in cache without this fix applied). Only in 2.4.10pre2aa1: 00_ext2-lookup-rotate-1 Heuristic to optimize stat/unlink etc... on ext2. (from 2.4.8ac8) Only in 2.4.10pre2aa1: 00_km_user-1 Avoid wasting PAGE_SIZE*NR_CPUS bytes of kernel virtual address space. Only in 2.4.10pre2aa1: 00_raid1-prealloc-1 Avoid losing preallocated bh for raid1. (from Neil Brown) Only in 2.4.9aa3: 00_rwsem-17 Only in 2.4.10pre2aa1: 00_rwsem-18 Rediffed due rejects. Only in 2.4.10pre2aa1: 00_smp_call_function-1 Fix a few races, really the two mb() are probably not needed in practice because while writes can pass reads, the other way around shouldn't happen on x86. The wmb() seems needed instead for the compiler (a barrier() would be enough as well but wmb() is nicer conceptually). Only in 2.4.9aa3: 00_softirq-fixes-6_wait-network-fixes-1 Only in 2.4.10pre2aa1: 10_softirq-wait-network-fixes-2 Rediffed. Only in 2.4.10pre2aa1: 00_softirq-irq-1 Russell King raised the issue that the risc archs cannot easily implement a lightweight __cpu_raise_softirq atomic with respect to irqs. Since we are just running almost all the __cpu_raise_softirq and cpu_raise_softirq with irq disabled right now, __cpu_raise_softirq is been reimplemented in C and it must be run with irq disabled (same applies to cpu_raise_softirq). Only raise_softirq (unused at the moment) can be called with irq enabled. Only in 2.4.10pre2aa1: 00_strnlen_user-x86-ret1-1 Andreas Schwab noticed that the x86 strnlen_user isn't returning a value > N if N = 0. This leads to execve to return -EFAULT instead of -E2BIG when bprm->p is zero. Only in 2.4.9aa3: 10_prefetch-2 Only in 2.4.10pre2aa1: 10_prefetch-3 Really use prefetchw (from -ac) Only in 2.4.9aa3: 40_blkdev-pagecache-14 Only in 2.4.10pre2aa1: 40_blkdev-pagecache-15 Rediffed. Only in 2.4.10pre2aa1: 50_uml-patch-2.4.9-2.bz2 Only in 2.4.9aa3: 50_uml-patch-2.4.9.bz2 Picked last update from sourceforge. Only in 2.4.9aa3: 60_atomic-alloc-3 Only in 2.4.10pre2aa1: 60_atomic-alloc-4 Rediffed. Only in 2.4.9aa3: 70_mmap-rb-5 Only in 2.4.10pre2aa1: 70_mmap-rb-6 Drop all the init_mmap and INIT_MMAP. Only in 2.4.10pre2aa1: 71_mmap-rb-6_other-archs-1 Same as above but for the other archs.
