Apparently something has :)
As I described in my patch, I torture-tested it on an AS 200 (21064 UP),
and 2.1.120+my patch came through with flying colors. *NO* error
messages at all. That's why I sent it to Linus.
As a further, unintended torture test, I ran "make -j boot". Turns out
this command tries to compile *every* *.c file in the kernel at once!
(I thought it would only do multi-job on each directory, in succession)
I have 144 MB RAM and 90 MB swap, and that disappeared real quick. I
let it run for a while with gcc's failing all over the place for lack of
memory... then finally <Ctrl-C> to stop the mess. The system recovered
beautifully, and was usable immediately after the Ctrl-C (from a
previous load of over 100).
I would be happy to post my .config, it's basic though.
CONFIG_AVANTI
CONFIG_NCR53C8XX
CONFIG_DE4X5
CONFIG_SRM*
CONFIG_PCI*
I encourage others to test the patch on other processors and
motherboards. It works great here :)
