Kernel hacking : Patches, baby!


I don't have any noteworthy kernel patches at the moment.

Old (outdated) patches: all pulled from the site to discourage people from shooting themselves in the foot with them.

  • Non-recursive symlink lookups (VFS)
    • Linus doesn't like it architecturally.
  • Console blanking/APM interaction fix (console)
    • Backport of a 2.1 fix to 2.0
    • See drivers/char/console.c in any recent 2.0 kernel for my credz
  • Bottom-line-garbage clearing patch (VGA console)
    • Better solution exists in current driver
