Hello,
Before I hose my linux box, I've got a quick question regarding the
preemptive patches. According to the changelog for the preemptive patches:
This is a ChangeLog for patch-rml-preempt
Currently synced with 2.4.10-pre14 and 2.4.9-ac14
SMP is now considered stable, but YMMV
20010919
- push XFS fix into XFS CVS
Does this mean that there is just the one needed to create preemptive
XFS kernel? I've applied the current preemptive patch against the
2.4.10-xfs kernel and it applies (although with a few offsets) and
compiles cleanly.
If I'm not mistaken, that patch process used to be:
Apply preemptive patches
Apply XFS patches
Apply XFS fixes
Am I correct?
Sorry about the slightly OT message here, it's just that the entry in
the Changelog made me think the fix was already within the CVS tree
(which I almost always use to compile kernels from) and all I needed was
the preemptive patch against the current CVS - as it's nearly a clean
Linus + XFS kernel (I think). Thanks for any help.
PS. Thanks to all for the great FS. I still can't believe how awesome it
is to run a FREE OS with such awesome capabilities. I really appreciate
everyone's hard work. Thanks,
-Walt
