Sorry about the subject line, folks, but this is the special easter release of linux, more mundanely called 1.3.84. It fixes a few minor problems, notably a stupid bug on my part in the TCP received queue pruning. I think it's ok now (not that the prune stuff is ever done in normal use..)
Patches: - digiboard documentation - alpha patches to support PCI-PCI bridges - file locking is better - kmalloc() is slightly faster - new pages are appropriately marked dirty if written to (results in fewer page faults on architectures that do the dirty bit in software, ie alpha) - use atomic operations instead of disabling interrupts for skb free'ing.
Please do test this all out..
Linus
PS. You people sure know how to use "finger". Today (Apr 4), I have so far been fingered 1576 times. No kidding.
PPS. There are only three different figures. After you've seen them all, you can stop ;-)
