. The ext2 "free inodes corrupted" problem which Martin saw should be
fixed.
. The ext3 assertion failure which Maneesh hit should be fixed (I can't
reproduce this, please retest?)
. A patch from Neil which will hopefully fix the RAID "bio too big" bug.
Neil cannot reproduce that, so we are asking anyone who _can_ make this
happen to test this out.
. The weird behaviour with time-n-date on SpeedStep machines should be
fixed. Some of the weird behaviour, at least.
. A tweak to the oom killer here may cause earlier oom-killings. I was
able to trigger just the one. Keep an eye on that please.
And on a personal note: The OSDL will now be sponsoring my kernel work at
Digeo. This means that I shall become [email protected]. [email protected] still
will work. Many thanks to the OSDL and Digeo teams who put this together.

Works OK here.
The config option for the feral driver got gratuitously renamed. To
CONFIG_SCSI_FERAL_ISP.

It is fixed. Ran multiple iterations without any ext3 assertion failure.

Sweet, thanks.
And thanks also for the ext3-debug trace - that found the bug in sixty
seconds of peering.

Bah humbug.
Well, I tried that now. Still E_NO_WORKEE though. Does spit out one

The problem I noted with speedstep-ich.c mangling the loops_per_jiffies variable
is still there. Looks like I have something to do on the plane tomorrow. ;)

OK, this rediffed version of Mike's earlier patch fixes it - I guess it
got trampled in the merge. All the ifdefs surrounding isplinux_release
are a bit odd, but I think I got 'em right. Would be a damned sight
easier if we ripped out all that version crud.

Looks like:
53 static int cpufreq_p4_setdc(unsigned int cpu, unsigned int
newstate)
54 {
55 u32 l, h;
56 unsigned long cpus_allowed;
the decl for cpus_allowed should be cpumask_t and the array has to be
copied at places like:
66 /* switch to physical CPU where state is to be changed*/
67 cpus_allowed = current->cpus_allowed;
I'll try 2.5.74-mm3...

I tried 2.5.74-mm3 and had a problem with apm_save_cpus()
definition returning a 0. This isn't a pointer to an array.
Perhaps something like this would be better in arch/i386/kernel/apm.c:
527 /*
528 * No CPU lockdown needed on a uniprocessor
529 *
530 * #define apm_save_cpus() 0 Need ptr to array
531 */
532 static cpumask_t apm_save_cpus(void)
533 {
534 cpumask_t x = current->cpus_allowed;
535 return x;
536 }
It gets around the compile problem.

I tried 2.5.74-mm3 and had a problem with apm_save_cpus()
definition returning a 0. This isn't a pointer to an array.
Perhaps something like this would be better in arch/i386/kernel/apm.c:
527 /*
528 * No CPU lockdown needed on a uniprocessor
529 *
530 * #define apm_save_cpus() 0 Need ptr to array
531 */
532 static cpumask_t apm_save_cpus(void)
533 {
534 cpumask_t x = current->cpus_allowed;
535 return x;
536 }
It gets around the compile problem.
