SubjectAX25 Patches for 2.4.17 and above - have they been included yet
DateWed, 13 Feb 2002 10:03:11 +0000
Hi,

I have been looking and searching the latest kernel pachecs and update for
the fixes that were issued some time ago, but I have yet to see them.

The patches were issed by Henk De Groot and were as follows...

+ if(!sk->dead && (atomic_read(&sk->wmem_alloc) << 1) <= sk->sndbuf) {
if (sk->sleep && waitqueue_active(sk->sleep))
wake_up_interruptible(sk->sleep);

These were, I believe, issed against the 2.4.17 kernel.
These were to fix a lock up problem that I have encountered when useing an
scc card and the scc utilites but might have been more general to ax25 use.

Have I missed something and they are there in the kernel now, haven't seen
anything listed in the kernel changes or are these fixes being incorporated
in the 2.5.xx series.
