well, this is the nvidia chance to support officially
the kernel.org drivers ;-)

I figured as much. I've pinged Manfred a couple of times on this. It
doesn't appear that he is interested in keeping the 2.4 version of the
driver up-to-date.

Marcelo,

Congratulations on that.

Does this mean that there is no hope for adding iswraid to 
the 2.4 kernel?
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/iswraid/2.4.28-pre3-iswraid.patch.gz?download
It still applies cleanly to 2.4.28-pre4 as well... Please consider.

Martins,

New drivers are OK, as long as they dont break existing setups, 
and if substantial amount of users will benefit from it.

You've submitted the patch to this list for review already? 
Can't remember from the top of my head.

A review by someone with good knowledge on this area (arjan, 
bart, alan, ?) would also be a good point on getting it into the
tree.

Marcelo,

It cannot possibly break anything for somebody who does not
use it, and I am not aware of any unresolved problems in it,
i.e., I don't think it can harm its users either.
 
> You've submitted the patch to this list for review already?

Yes and no. This driver has been announced here 3 times,
the latest announcement being this:
http://www.kerneltraffic.org/kernel-traffic/kt20040807_270.html#7

However, I did not announce the latest release here on the list,
and only emailed you personally last Sunday, because I felt that
there are not enough differences with the previous release. This
was a mistake and I'll make an announcement in a separate email.

I would appreciate a review of the driver very much.

FWIW I ACK'd iswraid a while ago...

True, and it was very much appreciated. Jeff's comments
induced many of the changes between iswraid versions 
0.1.3 and 0.1.4.

But now, of course, the current iswraid version
is 0.1.4.3, and nobody has reviewed it, AFAIK.
As always, I'm looking forward to any feedback.

Linux 2.4.28-pre4

[Marcelo Tosatti]

Hi,

Here goes 2.4.28-pre4...

It contains a number of driver updates (pcnet, e1000, gdth, prism54),
a network update from David, few more gcc3.4 warning fixes.

I'm happy that the number of updates is small, -pre3
has been released more than one month ago.

Re: Linux 2.4.28-pre4

[Brian Lazara]

At some point, can we get forcedeth.c updated in 2.4.x? We've taken the
latest from 2.6.8 and posted a patch against 2.4.27, but it isn't
getting picked up. See 
http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0408.1/1523.html

The driver in 2.6.8 contains a critical bug that prevents the operation 
on the non-GB board with a modularized driver.
See
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=128292

It's now fixed, I've written a backport of the 0.29 driver, it's at

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=109439014812433&w=2

But that backport was stopped due to an oddity in your original backport:

NVENET_3 can't have the id 0x00d5. I've asked Jane Liu a month ago to 
double check the values and I'm still waiting for a reply.

For me, that's the only open point that prevents merging. What I'm 
missing is a positive test report from a non-GB board, but that's not 
mandatory - IMHO the code receives enough testing in 2.6.

Nobody has submitted a forcedeth update to me for 2.4.

These things don't just happen by magic ;-)

Is it still possible to add this patch to 2.4 (i.e. 2.4.28 or 2.4.29),
or is it too late/too invasive?

[PATCH] fix ELF exec with huge bss
http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.5/cset@3ff112802L-9-rs0BbkozDnTnpch9w

AFAIK, this patch has been in 2.6 for several months and has been in Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 3 kernels for a long while too. The reason I'd like
to see it in a future 2.4 kernel is that it fixes some crashes that some
of my users are seeing (e.g. with a Fortran 77 program that has a BSS
larger than 2GB).


BTW, if the above patch is added to 2.4, maybe this patch is also needed
to handle a corner case (like the previous patch, it's been in 2.6 for
several months and RHEL 3 for a long time):

[PATCH] binfmt_elf.c fix for 32-bit apps with large bss
http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.5/cset@407afc8e4kEZSl4pklf3Ptrl2ZzkeA
