I think the patch is botched. Here is an output from patch -p0 <
patch-2.4.17,
same patch command I used for all other kernels.
can't find file to patch at input line 4
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

Um, what happened to the idea of 'no changes between the last

I'm disappointed; I thought we were entering a new era of
release discipline in the stable kernel.

I haven't said that, did I?
I said I would make -rc kernels which would not add any new _feature_.

I think the policy is 'not to add unnecessary changes' , not 'no changes'.

I'd be dissapointed if Marcelo had released and stable kernel still
with the loopback deadlocks. And i don't think the alpha compile fix is
going to break anything.

Sorry; I must have misunderstood. But I think lwn.net
misunderstood, too; http://lwn.net/2001/1213/kernel.php3
says "Marcelo's stated plan is to have the final release be the same
as the last release candidate; the hope is to be done with surprises
caused by last-minute patches."
I guess I and lwn.net were projecting our desires onto Marcello's statements?

No, but it's a good idea. There's always the risk of breaking something
and you don't want to introduce a disk-eating bug between -rc and -final.
It's better to ship one more -rc and wait a day before -final. If you
don't, people will just get in the habit of waiting a day after -final to
be safe.

That's less important.

I agree with releasing an extra -rc and waiting the extra day for -final.
My thought is that the _only_ difference between the last -rc and -final is
correctly setting "EXTRAVERSION=" in Makefile.

One possibility would be to release 2.4.17 and 2.4.18-pre1
simultaneously, with the otherwise last minute changes. There have
been so many brown-bag bugs introduced by the last changes, there
everyone is or should be nervous. Immediately launching the next -pre
series will help keep the momentum moving while preserving the more
certain knowledge of the quality of the last -rc level.

I've lots of thoughts as well as things i would have liked to have seen in
2.4.17. However, This is Marcelo's show. It is his call to make, and I support
what he did. It has got to be a tough job to know that *you* are the one who
says "This is good (enough)."

Well, of course having another RC wont be too much of a problem.

I'll weigh in on this one, basically a "me too". The only changelog entry I
find unsettling is "Fix more loopback deadlocks" and all I have to say about
it is: remember what happened when Al fixed the iput bug. I'm not suggesting
that there was no basic idiot testing - I'm practically certain you did some
yourself, but it would have been oh-so-nice to have an rc3 that lived for at
least a short time on the kernel list before going to final.
By the way, great job managing this first major point release (2.4.16 doesn't
really count ;-).

My thanks to for Marcelo's efforts...but....
Is there any way we can get Marcelo, Rik, and Andrea to work together on the
"stable" version now (a Linux tribunal)?
If Rik and Andrea just send their patches to Marcelo can we get agreement on
one release version?
It would seem that it's time to converge for the sake of bringing some
stability & simplicity to 2.4.x
There's been way too much discussion/questions on the list from people
wondering which one to use.
I understand Linus' reluctance to incorporate but it just seems like it's
time to converge these branches.

Would you mind to give us a short hint on the implicit "instability" you are
exactly talking about? I think 2.4.17 is in various ways well worked out and
maintained. There are further improvements possible for sure, but that is a
normal thing. Anyway I cannot really see any major instability issues that
require instant brainstorming. I am confident in Marcelo's maintenance.

Hello Everyone;
At this point I'm not a kernel developer, most likely never will be, but I do
use linux exclusively. So from that perspective here are my comments for
consideration.
At some point in the development of a new kernel there must be an emphasis on
quality and reliability. I personally do not see how it is even possible to
release a "final" kernel revision with only one or two days testing.
Granted everyone expects a new kernel series to have a few issues upon
release, but once the ** in a 2.4.** kernel move past 10 it really is time to
think quality.
Realizing that excessive time spent on quality issues would lead to many
delays, I'd like to suggest that the third dot number use an odd even
numbering system to seperate the heavly tested kernels from the heavily
modified kernels. In other words all pre-kernels leading up to a 2.4.18
kernel would be aimed at stabilizing the code and quality. When this is
done the pre-kernels for the 2.4.19 series would aim to oimplement the more
major changes that everyone wants or needs.
I'd to be able to pick up a kernel from http://www.kernel.org and have some
confidence that it will work correctly without extensive patching. The idea
that vendors can supply us with a heavily tested kernel is, to me anyways,
against the spirit of the whole community. After all there are many fly by
night Linux distributions, a stable kernel available from http://www.kernel.org would
go a long way to maintaining these sort of systems.
Now this may seem a bit demanding but consider this. If the users of this
list did not have prior knowledge of the kernels available on http://www.kernel.org
how would they know which ones to avoid totally, which ones are OK, and which
ones seem to be well done? Its really a shame that we need to talk about a
stable kernel this way, on the other hand due to reading this list I
understand how the various revisions came about. The problem, as I see it,
is that there were to many kernels released before everything stabilized.
If your implementing or testing new technology them by all means release a
pre-kernel, a patch against a stable kernel, or a technology specific
pre-kernel (such as the -aa releases) but lets not go on with throwing out
grossly buggy release kernels. Even if it takes months, release a kernel
that for most people will work.
I hope these comments are helpful. Like I say Linux is the only thing that
I use at home, I really want it to succeed. So for the 2.4.** kernel lets
concentrate on quality, it would be nice to know that from now on each new
kernel release is beter than the one before it.
Thanks

They are not different branches. Perhaps what is confusing him (and sometimes
also confuses me), is that there are patches in aa kernel (I am not a
compulsive patcher...) that look like basic bug fixes or simple but effective
enhancements that never reach mainline, they are only in aa for ages (looking
at andrea's dir in ftp.kernel.org: all the _vm patches, the spinlock-cacheline,
compiler.h, rwsem, parent-timeslice, etc.). Nothing wrt numa, tux, uml or lvm.
How about a 18-pre1 taking from aa all that is usefull and not really intrusive ?
