Only in 2.4.20rc2aa1: 00_drop-inetpeer-cache-2.gz Only in 2.4.20aa1: 00_drop-inetpeer-cache-3.gz Fix smp race due __SMP__ and increase the wrap around time per-cpu. from Andi and meissner. Only in 2.4.20rc2aa1: 00_extraversion-13 Only in 2.4.20aa1: 00_extraversion-14 Rediffed. Only in 2.4.20aa1: 00_getcwd-err-1 Report an error to userspace is getcwd can't return a correct value. From Jirka Kosina. Only in 2.4.20rc2aa1: 00_highio-nohighmem-fix-1 Only in 2.4.20rc2aa1: 00_prepare-write-fixes-3 Only in 2.4.20rc2aa1: 00_presto-dentry-slab-1 Only in 2.4.20rc2aa1: 00_vmalloc-leak-fix-1 Merged in mainline. Only in 2.4.20aa1: 00_nfs-xid-smp-1 Avoid xid races with different mountpoints (in case the highlevel locks don't serialize). From Olaf Kirch. Only in 2.4.20aa1: 00_nfs_writeback-1 Make sure not to lose writebacks in case of network errors during the pageouts from the vm. Only in 2.4.20aa1: 00_nfsd-reply-cache-smp-1 More smp locking in nfsd from Olaf Kirch. Only in 2.4.20aa1: 00_tcp-syn-rst-fin-1 Don't accept syns if they've rst or fin set too, from Andi Kleen.

Only in 2.4.20aa1: 10_sched-o1-bluetooth-1 o1 sched compile fix, problem noted by Eyal Lebedinsky. Eyal, FYI, DAC960 won't compile yet, if you need DAC960 simply backout elevator-lowlatency until I/somebody will fix it. Only in 2.4.20aa1: 9925_kmsgdump-0.4.4-1.gz Merged kmsgdump, from Willy Tarreau. Only in 2.4.20rc2aa1: 9942_ocfs-compile-1 Only in 2.4.20aa1: 9942_ocfs-compile-2 Delete the .c version file. Only in 2.4.20rc2aa1: 9981_elevator-lowlatency-1 Only in 2.4.20aa1: 9981_elevator-lowlatency-2 Increase the size to 2M and left unchanged the elvtune settings. Also reduce the cost of a seek, first we don't know if the newly inserted request will eventually become big (like a merge), secondly we want seeks to be passed over easily by other seeks because the elevator will matter more with lots of seeks. We'll see if these changes helps or hurts. Andrea
