[uml-devel] host-skas3a-RH8.patch

[Jeff Dike]

There have been a number of requests for skas patches for RH kernels.  Since
I did skas3 for RH8 a while ago, I have that lying around, and got around
to releasing it.

It's basically the same as the current skas3 patch, except for a fix which
allows a !CONFIG_PROC_MM kernel to build, hence the 'a' in the name.

Get it at the usual place.

Thanks Jeff.

Have you looked into making the patch apply to 2.4.20 or later kernels from RH?
It seems that the copy_segments() function is deprecated in the newer kernels
and I'm not quite adventurous enough to try eliminating the copy_segments()/
mm_copy_segments() portions of the skas3 patch.  It looks like the Alan Cox
patches for 2.4.20-22 also include the elimination of copy_segments.

Is everyone that is running current stable kernels on the host just using the
base code?

Not really.  Lots of people have asked about it, but until I upgrade from
RH8, I'm not going to be personally interested :-)
