This directory contains patches that are queued for sending to Linus
for inclusion into next official kernel.
They are not yet thoroughly tested (26.11.2001) and your testing and
feedback are most welcome.
All patches are subject to in-place modification without further notice.
They should be applied in alphabetical order against vanilla official
kernel.
A-map_block_for_writepage_highmem_fix-1.diff
Fixes erroroneous page access before making sure page is really accessable.
Bug can be triggered only on highmem sysetms.
B-mmaped_data_loss_fix.diff

due to page-cache interacting mistake in low number of free buffers situation.

hole-creation time. (Author is Chris Mason. fs/buffer.c (generic_cont_expand) were written by

This patch fixes a problem for 64bit arches, because set_bit is only defined for long integers.
K-big-endian-const.patch
Suppress compilation warnings on big endian platform.
L-kreiserfsd-sleep-timeout.patch
Correct a typo in fs/reiserfs/journal.c:
interruptible_sleep_on_timeout() takes timeout in jiffies, rather
than seconds.
M-remount-options.patch
Handle more options on remount: notail, no_border,
no_unhashed_relocation, hashed_relocation, test4
