The Update Version patchset is a set of patches which include only fatal compile/runtime bug fixes and security updates for the current kernel version. This patch set can be used in production environments for those who wish to run 2.4.23, but do not use vendor kernels and at the same time require patches which add to the stability of the current release kernel version. This is a patch set only, it does not include kernel source. Current version is 2.4.23-uv3 which contains many patches pulled from the 2.4-bk mailing list and adds the last 5 patches in the list below. The complete URL to the patch set is http://www.hardrock.org/kernel/current-updates/linux-2.4.23-updates.patch Individual patches can be viewed and downloaded from http://www.hardrock.org/kernel/current-updates/ This patch set only contains and will only contain security updates and fixes for the latest kernel version. Each individual patch contains text WRT the patch itself and the creator of the patch, I will try to keep doing that as standard reference for the complete collection. Please send bug reports to jbourne@hardrock.org and CC linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org. Patch specifics are: linux-2.4.23-updates.patch: Contains all the patches below. linux-2.4.23-extraversion.patch: Updated the extraversion in the Makefile linux-2.4.23-file_lock_acct.patch: Remove broken file lock accounting linux-2.4.23-ht-detect.patch: Fixup smb_boot_cpus(): Fix HT detection bug linux-2.4.23-ipfw_compat_oops.patch: fix for a known bug in the netfilter linux-2.4.23-ll_rw_blk_race_fix.patch: from -aa tree: Fix potential fsync() race condition linux-2.4.23-lockd_reclaim.patch: Drop module count if lockd reclaimer thread failed to start linux-2.4.23-no_idt.patch: fix reboot/no_idt bug linux-2.4.23-oom_kill.patch: out_of_memory() locking issue linux-2.4.23-rbs_clobber.patch: ia64: Fix a bug in sigtramp() which corrupted ar.rnat when unwinding across a signal trampoline (in user space). Reported by Laurent Morichetti. linux-2.4.23-root_rlim.patch: Make root a special case for per-user process limits. linux-2.4.23-rtc-compile.patch: Patch to allow RTC to compile properly on some systems, see http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/12/1/150 duplicate-pid-fix-2.4.23.patch: Without this, duplicate pids can be allocated, which will make one of them unkillable (signals are deliverd to only one of them), and this can be exploitable (I don't know for sure, but maybe, like brk()). irda-log-buster-2.4.23.patch: I just ran 2.4.23, and after a few min the disk reached 100% capacity. A quick check lead to to oversized kernel log, and to the following changeset. iseries-saverestore-flags-2.4.23.patch: [PPC64] Fix save_flags/restore_flags on iSeries. mct_u232-baudratefix-2.4.23.patch: Fix a problem in the 'mct_u232' driver whereby output data gets held up in the USB/RS-232 adapter for RS-232 devices which don't assert the 'CTS' signal. odirect-offset-2.4.23.patch: here's an obvious mistake i made in the NFS O_DIRECT implementation.
