If these defaults are too small, why haven't we got upstream to take the change?: patches.suse/shmall-bigger
There is a change being worked on upstream (or rather mm) to do this more generically.
Andi Kleen: Why aren't these upstream? patches.arch/disable-apic-error
The idea was that we should find out upstream why the APIC error occurs and so not silence it, but don't do that for the distro production kernels.
patches.arch/x86-nvidia-timer-quirk
Hmm, I thought I had submitted that one but it seems to have gotten lost somewhere.
patches.suse/wireless-no-aes-select
I submitted that one. The maintainers thought it was not needed, but I'm still not convinced. Right now modprobe aes without this patch still does load the wrong code I think.
Bernhard Kaindl: Why are these patches not upstream: patches.drivers/early-firewire.diff
They are. Did you not check mainline?
KBD fun:
KDB
These might go upstream, but I really doubt it. Note that kgdb hooks might be in mainline soon,
No, the basic hooks have been in forever. kgdb adds a few new one, but most of them are actually misguided and KDB typically doesn't need them.
so these might need to be majorly rewritten to handle these hooks. For now we'll keep them, but I really doubt their usability. Does anyone use this?
It is the current standard kernel debugger for SUSE and afaik used by a lot of people.
patches.fixes/ipv6-no-autoconf
Might be still needed for Xen
patches.fixes/oom-warning
This patch seems valuable to me.
patches.fixes/tiocgdev
This is needed for init. There is unfortunately some philosophical disagreement on that one for mainline (I tried to submit it a long time ago). Maintainer is Werner Fink. Probably would make sense to resubmit it -- i'm a little tired of always seeing the "kernel does not support TIOCGDEV" messages when I boot a mainline kernel.
patches.suse/crasher-26.diff
This one is a valuable debugging tool and should be probably submitted.
patches.suse/twofish-2.6 (We gotta be able to drop this one now, right? If not, why isn't it upstream?)
No we can't because that would break updates with encrypted file systems. -Andi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
