E-mail: catab # embedromix dot ro Phone: +40-745-048374 My Fedora repository: rpm -Uhv http://kernel.embedromix.ro/dinorepo-0.0.9-1.noarch.rpm Comercial support and customizations: Embedromix [Home]  [Networking]  [Crypto]  [Linux kernel patches]  [Userspace]  [Docs]  [CV/Resume]  [Links]  Name Date Status Description Links IPVS-Allow-boot-time-change-of-hash-size.patch Sent 2008-11-25 to netdev and lvs-devel lists. Pending (Patrick) Allow changing at run-time the number of bits for IPVS. Patch (local) Added-support-for-a-no-name-4-ports-multiserial-card.patch 2007-12-16 Resent 2008-06-06 Accepted in 2.6.27 on 2008-07-25 Added support for a no-name 4 ports PCI serial card (10b5:9050, 10b5:1584). Patch was Acked by Alan Cox and Russell King. Patch (local) git e100_sleep_in_invalid_context.patch 2005-07-08 Not needed Tiberiu reported, on rlug, a BUG in e100. The error was: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slab.c:2088. The problem is this call path: e100_up - request_irq - ... - proc_create - kmalloc(..., GFP_KERNEL). This patch deffers up/down to keventd. A similar patch was already applied before I sent it upstream. Patch (local) e100_fix_io_ordering.patch 2005-07-08 Accepted on 2006-03-04 Checking e100.c with Documentation/io-ordering.txt, I saw a problem; code calling spin_unlock_irq[restore] _after_ e100_write_flush. This patch corrects this situation moving e100_write_flush before spin_unlock. Patch (local) git bridge_features.patch 2005-05-26 Accepted Select bridge features based on the slaves ones. Also, activate LLTX (Lockless TX), HIGHDMA, SG and TSO. Patch (local) NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE.patch 2005-05-26 Accepted This patch adds notification for netdevice's features changes. Patch (local) sysfs_net_features_rw.patch 2005-05-21 Not accepted This patch permit features changing using sysfs: echo 0x1004 > /sys/class/net/_device_/features. Not accepted because it's better to use ethtool. Patch (local) dummy_features.patch 2005-05-21 Not accepted Improve dummy device performance. Not accepted because David thinks that "dummy device performance cannot be claimed to be important at all". Patch (local) sch_api_rtnl_unlock_lock-try3.patch 2005-04-01 Accepted This is a rework of Dave's patch to apply cleanly and corrected some device refcount problem. Patch (local) uml-extend-cmd-line-limits.patch 2004-10-27 Not accepted UML has some nasty limits on command line size. This patch allow for a bigger command line. Not accepted because it was rewroten by Jeff or Blaisorblade. Patch (local) cdc-acm-usb-use-uninit-mem-bug 2004-09-?? Accepted Out of bounds access. [Coverity] Patch was accepted by Greg.
