Hello,
I did some tests with bootmem-2.4.17-pre6 and waitq-2.4.17-mainline-1 (don't
know who wrote it in the first place) on top of 2.4.17-preX with good
results.
Are there any plans to get this into 2.4 mainline?
Thanks,
Dieter
BTW waitq-2.4.17-mainline-1 do not apply to latest kernel versions.

Well, I wrote both.
The bootmem patch's benefits are not very visible (if at all) for
machines other than simulators and some unusual large systems. I
am not pressing for its inclusion in mainline for the basic reason
that what it addresses does not affect the systems I'm using anymore,
if only because the systems changed. =)
The waitqueue patch has been integrated into both mainline 2.4 and 2.5.
Cheers,
Bill

I don't use the affected systems anymore. I moved from one group to
another within my company just before the beginning of the year.
