Download Linux kernel 2.4.3-pre7
This time not one, but three patches in one posting. As may be assumed, this pre-production software and its use are therefore not without risk.
The changelog of 2.4.3-pre5, pre6 and pre7:
pre7:
more bugs found by the automatic stanford checker, yay!
Andrew Morton: fix SAK locking bugs by moving it into a process context
Johannes Erdfelt: USB updates
Jeff Garzik: merge Hermes driver by David Gibson
Jens Axboe: cdrom merges, ll_rw_blk proper accounting
pre6:
Jeff Garzik: network driver merge
Andrew Morton: fix missed page_table_lock unlock
David Miller: Qlogic, FC bufix, page allocation order problem.
pre5:
Rik van Riel and others: mm rw-semaphore (ps/top ok when swapping)
IDE: 256 sectors at a time is legal, but apparently confuses some drives. Max out at 255 sectors instead.
Petko Manolov: USB pegasus driver update
make the boottime memory map printout at least almost readable.
USB driver updates
pte_alloc()/pmd_alloc() need page_table_lock.
