If they seem OK I'll :submit them on for the next 2.0.x kernel proper. : I agree with Tim. This patch hasn't caused any real problems with my setup however it may with other people. I know that it can result in a kernel oops under a load if you have compiled it with a funky compiler. If you do have problems with it, please mail me or Alan. If you do end up mailing me about it, I'm just going to forward it to Alan anyway. I'm not a kernel hacker by any stretch of the imagination. :) --Chris :Alan Cox :Linux Networking Project : :--patch-- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Christopher Blizzard | "The truth knocks on the door and you say [email protected] | 'Go away.
