LinuxLists.cc - Linux 2.5.51

2002-12-10 03:11:08

Subject: Linux 2.5.51

Ok, big patch, but this is mostly all over the place with a lot of fairly
random small fixes (a lot of compile fixes for the build breakage from the
header file cleanups, for example).

The AGP reorg, fbdev merge, and the s390 updates also help make the patch
quite large.

Architecture merges, more merges with Andrew, and Al started cleaning up
some of his favourite code - devfs. See details in the changelog.

Linus

PS. I'm going to be traveling for three days, so..

Summary of changes from v2.5.50 to v2.5.51

<jsimmons@kozmo.(none)>:
o Grabbed the PPC drivers and in the process of porting to the latest
api. Can now use driver specific read and write functions
o fbgen is gone and now we have cfbcursor.c
o Major fixes for the software accel functions. We have the penguin
back

with respect to the keyboard.'

Stephen Lord <[email protected]>:
o [XFS] add a field to the iclog output
o [XFS] clean up use of run_task_queue in xfs

allocation!
