Diff between 2.4.7pre2aa1 and 2.4.7pre3aa1:
--------------------------------------------------------- Only in 2.4.7pre2aa1: 00_3c59x-zerocopy-1 Only in 2.4.7pre3aa1: 00_3c59x-zerocopy-2
Right fix for enabling zerocopy on highmem kernels.
(nice to have)
Only in 2.4.7pre3aa1: 00_async-io-unlock-race-1
Fix possible memory corruption due a race where the page can be unlocked under us and so the bh could be unlocked as well under us. Found it in -ac.
(recommended)
Only in 2.4.7pre2aa1: 00_ksoftirqd-7 Only in 2.4.7pre3aa1: 00_ksoftirqd-8
Add the BUG() check, to be as strict as mainline (no functional differences for correct code).
(nice to have)
Only in 2.4.7pre3aa1: 00_meminfo-wraparound-1
Use long long in /proc/meminfo to avoid wrap arounds on >4G boxes.
(nice to have)
Only in 2.4.7pre3aa1: 00_rawio-down_read-1
Use read lock for rawio.
(nice to have)
Only in 2.4.7pre2aa1: 00_vm-deadlock-fix-1 Only in 2.4.7pre2aa1: 00_xircom-serial-1
Merged in mainline.
Only in 2.4.7pre2aa1: 10_blkdev-pagecache-4 Only in 2.4.7pre3aa1: 40_experimental
Moved the 10_blkdev-pagecache-4 patch back into the 40_experimental directory, don't apply it for production it's not ready yet, initrd is still broken (it will be fixed soon). ---------------------------------------------------------
