Hi,
Here goes 2.4.27-pre4.
It contains a TCP update (backporting some 2.6.x work), XFS/JFS updates,
some architecture updates, driver fixes, the usual...
Please read the detailed changelog for details
Summary of changes from v2.4.27-pre3 to v2.4.27-pre4
============================================
<akepner:sgi.com>:
o [TG3]: Fix ethtool -S
o [TG3]: Make sure RX/TX flow control settings actually get set
<felixb:sgi.com>:
o [XFS] Remove speculative preallocation from linvfs_get_block_core
<fsgqa:sgi.com>:
o [XFS] Remove the 128K limitation on pagebuf_get_no_daddr() and allow the kmem_alloc() to fail.
<gnb:melbourne.sgi.com>:
o [TG3]: Count rx_discards in rx_errors
o [TG3]: Add more ethtool -S stats
<joshk:triplehelix.org>:
o [SPARC64]: Pull in drivers/i2c/Config.in
o [SPARC64]: Use $(CC) in check for egcs/gcc3
o [SPARC64]: Backport some lvalue warning fixes from 2.6.x
o [SPARC32]: Use $(LD) -V for NEW_GAS check
<jpk:sgi.com>:
o [XFS] xfs_iomap_write_delay() was doing speculative allocations without checking if there were any real blocks already in the speculative allocation area. This could result in an allocation that overlaps pre-allocated space. This would result in an ASSERT failure in debug kernels, or invalid output from xfs_bmap.
o [XFS] Add support for allocating additional file space in stripe width sized chunks. A new fstab/mount option, "swalloc" has been defined. If specified when mounting a striped file system, allocation requests will be rounded up to a stripe width if the file size is >= stripe width, and the data is being appended to eof. The 'swalloc' option is "off" by default.
<linux-kernel:vortech.net>:
o [VLAN]: Use KERN_INFO for VLAN_INF
<mhuth:mvista.com>:
o [IPV6]: Fix sock identity checking bug in tcp_ipv6_check_established
<michael.waychison:sun.com>:
o cramfs use pagecache
