Any chance to apply this patch before release?

Hi Andrey,

I talked to Atul and Arjan about this one - the correct thing to do is to 
replace mdelay() with CPU yielding msleep(). 

We should backport msleep() in 2.4.29-pre1.

Ok, msleep() backported, but driver isn't fixed. This patch acceptable?

Prevent NMI oopser kill kernel thread when megearid2 driver wating 
abort or reset command completion.

The megaraid maintainers seem to have an scheduled driver update but they
have taken too long.

Patch applied, thanks.

[patch] 2.4.28-rc3: neigh_for_each must be EXPORT_SYMBOL'ed

[Adrian Bunk]

I'm getting the following error:

<--  snip  -->

depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.28-rc3/kernel/net/decnet/decnet.o
depmod:         neigh_for_each

<--  snip  -->


This was caused by Harald's backport of the neighbour scalability fixes 
from 2.6 .


neigh_for_each must be EXPORT_SYMBOL'ed (as it is in 2.6):

Good catch Adrian, I'll apply this and push it to
Marcelo.

Just compiled it right now (with Adrian's patch applied).

results :
  - it builds and runs on athlon SMP+scsi (aic7xxx)
  - it builds and runs on sparc64 SMP+scsi (ncr), except for aic7xxx,
    which needs the attached patch to remove an unused function (aic7xxx
    compiles with -Werror).

Willy
