| Geometry for >8Gig
| Don't start with multimode on
| Even if the BIOS says UDMA for known problem drives, turn it off
| for WD AC11000H, 22100H, 32500H and 33100H
| Misordered DMA stop, status check - causes some peoples drives
| to do interestingly bad things
o Fix accidentally reversed rpc time wrap fix (Matti Aarnio)
Fixed in -ac patches (* = sent on to Linus)
For Linus:
o AVL tree vm avoids bad perfomance problems
o MediaGX crashes on boot
o Certain numbers of scsi disks dont seem to work
* VFS clears setuid/gid flags wrongly on directories
* COSA credited twice
* string.h egcs fixes
* Some further time fixes
* Various time fixes submitted
* KNFSD patches. With them knfsd seems to work ok. With the current
tree it doesnt work at all. Probably this is "Experimental for 2.2"
o AMD stepping ident, K6 ident
o What the hell is going on in time.c, on a low memory box picking
586 gives better performance for a 486 and several other chips
without TSC registers. That patch piece is a bad way to save 1K
* Various config combinations don't build
* FTAPE doesnt work in .132/2.2.0pre
* Various of the time_* changes to net/* are one out
o Ted's last serial patch is missing (setserial crashes box)
* IBMMCA doesnt work on the model 77 internal scsi
o Trond's last NFS fix
* include/linux/sysctl.h is exposed to user tasks even with glibc,
but isnt strictly ANSI compliant
* SYS5 shm debugging slows stuff down measurably -ifdef it
* DVD isofs trips an iso bug trap wrongly.
Unsure:
o Large file array support (will be required by vendors for several
big name products). This is a tricky one. Im wearing too many hats
to judge this objectively. Vendors will probably ship this anyway
or something similar.
Linus doesnt want:
o QlogicFC - no big problem, its seperate its clean and vendors
can ship it and other driver addons easily as they do now. Its a
nobrainer to install of the net.
Stale ?:
o ADFS updates
o Load unversioned modules into versioned kernels when doing
request_module etc.
