Linux 2.5.13-dj2

Linux 2.5.13-dj2

[Dave Jones]

Merge in some fixes for various corruption possibilities.
Drop some of the USB bits thanks to GregKH for going through those.
Some of the other things reported as broken in -dj1 (such as cpqarray
are still borked, I've not had chance to look at them yet).

As usual,..
Patch against 2.5.13 vanilla is available from:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/davej/patches/2.5/

Merged patch archive: http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/patches/merged/

Check http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/Linux-2.5.html before reporting
known bugs that are also in mainline.

Hi Dave,

I got the following compile error in cpqfcTSinit.c:

<--  snip  -->

The first part of the error message is strange. 2.5.13-dj2 does exactly
the following change to this file:


--- linux-2.5.13/drivers/scsi/cpqfcTSinit.c	Fri May  3 01:22:40 2002

-	if( !capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) )
+	if( !capable(CAP_RAW_IO) )
 	  return -EPERM;

 	// copy the caller's struct to our space.



This is the only place in the 2.5.13-dj2 patch where CAP_RAW_IO is
mentioned and a grep showed that it's the only occurence of CAP_RAW_IO in
the whole 2.5.13-dj2 kernel sources:

<--  snip  -->

~/linux/kernel-2.5/linux-2.5.13$ grep -r CAP_RAW_IO *

~/linux/kernel-2.5/linux-2.5.13$

You only think this is a free country. Like the US the UK spends a lot of
time explaining its a free country because its a police state.

This should be CAP_SYS_RAWIO

OK. There is someone, who seems to help me...
See the thread from the linux-kernel-archive:
