LinuxLists.cc - Linux v2.5.45

2002-10-31 00:50:43

Subject: Linux v2.5.45

Big changes, lots of merges. A number of the merges are fairly
substantial too.

Device mapper (LVM2), crypto/ipsec stuff for networking, epoll and giving
the new kernel configurator a chance. Big things.

And a _lot_ of maintenance, from various architecture updates to USB and
ISDN and ALSA. Merges with Andrew & Alan etc.. Go out and test,

Linus

Summary of changes from v2.5.44 to v2.5.45
============================================

<[email protected]>:
o The following patch adds support for ethtool to the ewrk3 driver.
It is against 2.5-BK but should apply to any recent 2.5 and 2.4 as
well. In addition to adding ethtool support, it also removes the
cli/sti fixup attribution from the changelog since that didn't
actually go in yet and fixes a small style issue I introduced in
the multi-card support patch.
o This patch adds some locking fixups to the ewrk3 ioctl routine.
None of these are critical since the ioctls AFAIK are used only by
the EEPROM config utility.
o Last ewrk3 update for now. Updates the changelog to cover previous
patches, bumps the revision number, and replaces the horrific
EthwrkSignature function with something (slightly) less horrific.
o sd.c major number off-by-one

definitions and include Makefile.lib.

Replaced by the more readable $(Q)$(MAKE) construct
o kbuild: Added Descend to top-level Makefile again It is used by
arch specific Makefiles
