Summary of changes from v2.4.27-pre3 to v2.4.27-pre4
:
[TG3]: Fix ethtool -S
[TG3]: Make sure RX/TX flow control settings actually get set
:
[XFS] Remove speculative preallocation from linvfs_get_block_core
:
[XFS] Remove the 128K limitation on pagebuf_get_no_daddr() and allow the kmem_alloc() to fail.
:
[TG3]: Count rx_discards in rx_errors
[TG3]: Add more ethtool -S stats
:
[SPARC64]: Pull in drivers/i2c/Config.in
[SPARC64]: Use $(CC) in check for egcs/gcc3
[SPARC64]: Backport some lvalue warning fixes from 2.6.x
[SPARC32]: Use $(LD) -V for NEW_GAS check
:
[XFS] xfs_iomap_write_delay() was doing speculative allocations without checking if there were any real blocks already in the speculative allocation area. This could result in an allocation that overlaps pre-allocated space. This would result in an ASSERT failure in debug kernels, or invalid output from xfs_bmap.
[XFS] Add support for allocating additional file space in stripe width sized chunks. A new fstab/mount option, "swalloc" has been defined. If specified when mounting a striped file system, allocation requests will be rounded up to a stripe width if the file size is >= stripe width, and the data is being appended to eof. The 'swalloc' option is "off" by default.
