Yes, they mostly are more up to date. I have prepared a diff from 2.0.30 with
your pre-patch-5 to 2.0.30 with pre2.0.31_DAVEM_FINAL. It has 1.7 MB. I have
read throuh that and noted apparent direction of changes (was suprized, it
took only 6 hours ;-)
The results are on http://crds.chemie.unibas.ch/linux/davem-missing-5.html
or ...txt
Line numbers refer to linux-davem.diff file in that directory (also
available as linux-davem.diff.gz.
So, it looks like pre2.0.31_DAVEM_FINAL has:
>64M RAM detection patch (neccesary for me, was already in pre2.0.31-2
DaveM, so is well tested. It works also for me. :-)
ncr53c8xx (change from: 1.12c to 1.18i)
aic7xxx.h and the whole aic7xxx 3.2 -> 3.3 (files moved to
drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/ directory)
new driver for Tekram DC-390 (T) PCI SCSI
some difficult to sort out differences in buffer cache (see below)
All the other important fixes are in pre-patch-5 (and then much more :-)
I am really interested in RAM size detection patch and that fix for 3c509 I
have sent in previos mail. I am also using the nonexecutable-stack patch
since 2-3 months without any problems.
Here is my "chunk list" file. Just look for lines marked with "F" or "?".
col1= patch_starts col2= patch_ends col3 =status:
B= going backwards (commented changes from DaveM to Linus version)
F= forwards (commented changes from Linus to DaveM version)
?= difficult to say
R= recommended to apply (tested)

OFF TOPIC: Do the most overflooded Linux developers have some filter which passes only one copy of a message sent to several lists and CCed to them ? I am not sure if I should post questions/remarks about serial interfeces and networking to all relevant lists and developers, or only to a single list?
