Small patches to 1.3.79 to fix hopefully the last of the silly problems with 78/79. There are a few unresolved issues still:
- interrupt latency problems. Some people see these, others don't. I haven't been able to see the pattern here, could people who see it please tell me their configurations. Somebody reported it solved already, others disagreed. Very confusing. - md seems to get confused by the new plugging code - it probably doesn't understand the dummy plug request.
I need more info (and in the case of md I need the patches to fix it ;-)
[ For my sanity, if you have interrupt problems, you could try to do just a "grep '=[ym]' .config" in your linux top-level directory and send me your results. And if you use kerneld and/or modules, tell me _which_ ones. I'll ask for more information later if I still can't see any pattern with that kind of minimal report from people. But try 1.3.80 _first_, just on the off chance that it's fixed by mistake. ]
Anyway, 1.3.80 does fix: - interrupt problem on the alpha (resulting in not only bad interrupt latency, but also keyboard led setting not working) (me) - nfsroot cleanup (Gero Kuhlmann) - small ide driver updates (Mark Lord) - slight cleanup to how the plugging was done (me) - idle time in /proc/uptime works again (Halleluja!) - increased max read-ahead - xconfig hopefully works again
As usual, the new kernel can be found on ftp.funet.fi: pub/Linux/PEOPLE/Linus/v1.3 ftp.cs.helsinki.fi: pub/Software/Linux/Kernel/v1.3
Go and sin no more,
Linus
