[PATH 2.6.33 2/3] net: Kconfig change for Micrel KSZ884X driver
From: Tristram Ha <Tristram.Ha(a)micrel.com> Add Micrel KSZ8841/KSZ8842 PCI Ethernet chip support. Some users like to use KSZ8842 switch to run Spanning Tree Protocol. As a result a hardware STP support was implemented so that the host does not waste CPU time forwarding each and every packet. Signed-off-by: Tri... 15 Jan 2010 22:44

[PATCH] scripts/get_maintainer.pl: Change --sections to print in the same style as MAINTAINERS
On Sat, 2010-01-16 at 01:57 +0100, Stefan Richter wrote: The MAINTAINERS file uses tab or space after "^[A-Z]:" Perhaps that format should be kept. Right, the original format is actually better (if you want to tweak your output at all). Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe(a)perches.com> --- diff --git a/... 15 Jan 2010 21:38

-O0 kernel Re: High cpu temperature with 2.6.32, bisection shows commit 69d258 (fwd)
BTW, how can I remove that irritating -O2 flag? I 'm used to compiling with -O0 my debug builds in userland, because compilation is *many times* faster. I should be really useful for bisections. Actually, figuring out kernel flags for fastest kernel compilation would be nice. Nice for bisect, and nice ... 15 Jan 2010 16:04

Userspace RCU API (minor changes)
Hi, I'd like to proceed to a minor API change in the next userspace RCU release: moving from SIGURCU to SIGRCU for the signal name. This is part of an effort to standardize the library prefix to "rcu_". I plan to add support for backward compatibility, so when we see that SIGURCU is defined, then we use that va... 15 Jan 2010 12:43

hang on 2.6.33-rc4
Dear all, kernel 2.6.33-rc4 I am having repeatable complete hard lockups on my laptop with 2.6.33-rc4. 2.6.32.3 works fine. I believe that it is related to the network, because sometimes I can actually log in (gnomes session) and as soon as I do some network related suddenly hard hang, not even Sysrq workin... 2 Feb 2010 15:57
