Continuano in modo intensivo i lavori sul Kernel in manutenzione.
L\'hacker inglese Alan Cox continua a collaborare con Marcelo Tosatti e a rilasciare a getto continuo nuove patch per contibuire ed accellerare la revisione del Kernel 2.4.20; proprio ieri sono state rilasciate due versioni a distanza di quattro ore, la 2.4.20-pre7-ac2 e ac1, e qui di seguito potete vedere tutte le novità:
Linux 2.4.20-pre7-ac2
- Fix mtd glitch (Art Haas)
- Updated Configure.help entries (Steven Cole)
- Configurable core file naming (Jes Klinke)
- PCI layer updates (Ivan Kokshaysky)
- Fixing missing hard_cur_sectors assignment on legacy ide disk path (Andre Hedrick)
- Remove _p form I/O helpers (Andre Hedrick)
- Remove all the ifdef stuff from ide-iops (me)
| This means if you have a device needing delays (we don\'t
| in our tree right now) you should register a new set of
| delaying iops yourself. That keeps the crud in the afflicted
| code not in the core. No functionality actually removed I believe
- IDE taskfile diag breakages fix (Andre Hedrick)
- CMD648 Ultra DMA mask setup (Andre Hedrick)
- PDC202xx-old cleanuops - use dma_master address (Andre Hedrick)
- Test tg3 fix (Dave Miller)
- Add SETTIMEOUT to wafer5823 watchdog (Joel Becker)
- Add Motorola TimePort to USB ACM idents (Andrew Meredith)
- Fix get_user checks in sc520_wdt, shwdt, sc1200wdt, advantechwdt, alim7101, machzwdt, eurotechwdt, wdt_pci, w83877f_wdt watchdogs (Joel Becker)
- Fix piix build I hope (me)
- Give tmpfs directories a size to avoid confusing broken apps (Hugh Dickins)
Linux 2.4.20-pre7-ac1
- Merge 2.4.20pre6
- Discard nasty list_t disease patch
- Discard mac fb bug add
- Merge 2.4.20pre7
- Dropped ide-sibyte. The mips people need to move his and their ide.h changes to the new IDE layer.
- e1356fb has missing kmalloc range checks - TODO
- e1356fb has a user triggerable kernel memory leak - TODO
-Fix quoting bug in unbz64wrap (me)
| Note that csets-to-patches has a trivial /tmp/exploit too
| Its not clear if you can trick the stuff into a rev that is
| deliberately malformed, if so there are even more problems
| I hope Linus unpack scripts are better written
- Fixed mips Config.in error in mtd (me)
- Fix highpoint 374 bug (Jens Axboe)
- Turned down natsemi threshold notice (me)
- Alan\'s crazy cardbus with bridge hacks (me)
| Unfinished experiment but it doesn\'t affect normal
| cardbus (ie anything that worked before)
| Very much a work in progress
- Fix make xconfig (Adrian Bunk)
- Define blk_queue_empty for 2.5 compat in IDE (Jens Axboe)
- Kill reduce media failure retires config (Jens Axboe)

- IRQ distribution code for PA Risc (Grant Grundler)
- Radeonfb fix for cards reporting zero RAM (James Mayer)
| Got lost somewhere, reapplied
