Subject: test10-pre7
Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2000 11:32:33 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.10.10010301128380.5551-100000@penguin.transmeta.com> (raw)
Ok, this one contains at least a preliminary fix for the problem with
truncate together with a concurrent page access - the bug that causes
oopses in block_read_full_page() and filemap_nopage().
This is a fairly minimal fix, and I'll still have to verify that I caught
all the relevant places, but I wanted people who have seen this problem to
please test this out asap - I'll make a real test10 later once I've
integrated some further patches from Alan and Jeff, but this should fix
the major show-stopper bug.
Thanks,
Linus
----
- pre7:

memory leak fixes

for static binaries too.

non-existent, but still..)

scheduling - delete the code that calculates it.

the window from the parent. Better than not booting.
