Plodding through the release notes for 2.2.12 to 2.2.17 I find 2.2.14 contains
Dcache Scaling The dcache hash is scaled by memory size. Dcache corruption A specific very rare case of dcache corruption has been fixed.
I'd like to find more detail of the rare corruption so I can see if it matches what we're experiencing, is it more likely with an SMP machine, etc. Is there an archive of patches that go into a particular version anywhere?
Ralph.
