* Procfs has locking errors on mm's in progress
* Page table reclamation isnt done. Any user can toast the machine.
Unfixed
* PPP Oopses with IPX
* PPP breaks with Ricochet modems (-vj is a workaround)
* PPP trace show driver breakages somewhere
* Run two processes that keep rejoining multicast groups on an SMP
box - (crash should be fixed by ANK by now)
* Spam the box remotely with syn floods and other crap, it leaks
memory (this takes a lot of crap to do fortunately)
* select/poll magically break at some number of handles without an
error (not a problem with default settings)
* IDE probe often guesses wrong. Linux is impossible to install on
these ranges of PCs. (most are now ok but not all -UMC problem)
* isdn4linux is old not CVS version. If its not changing for 2.2.0
include a note about the CVS one.
* eata-dma driver crashes the machine if at any instant it cant grab
atomic isa dma memory. (Possible fix mark it obsolete and use
eata.c which works fine)
* Video4linux bttv tends to crash machines grabbing
(update to follow tonight)
* NTP: 2.2.x is missing the NTP updates still.
* You can't mount an ext2fs cdrom. (Block size error). Works in 2.0
Ok on IDE, breaks on SCSI
* generic_file_mmap and MSDOS/UMSDOS disagree over who clears blocks
* DaveM reports a pile of VMA operations done without locks held.
* Need to review all CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL tags
* ide-scsi crashes (HP 8100 for one). Command translation problems
can cause crashes.
* SCSI error can hold the io lock, causing scsi interrupt handlers
to need to sleep- then they panic since its an irq (1542 at least
affected)
* Quota seems to crash some machines.
Unfixed but not vital
* NFS client over tcp doesnt work (Now apparently fixed)
* NFS readahead is too low
* NFS performance to 8K page sized BSD boxes sucks rocks, 2.0.x is
about 5 times faster for some cases
* IPv6 calls set_multicast_list in the wrong context in progress
* TCP fails to handle small SO_SNDBUF/RCVBUF settings
* Make xconfig needs layout fixes patch exists
_________________________________________________________________
Fixed in -ac patches but not yet in Linus tree
For Linus:
* AVL tree vm avoids bad perfomance problems
* Certain numbers of scsi disks dont seem to work
* Some further time fixes
* JJ Swap header fix
Unsure:
* Large file array support (will be required by vendors for several
big name products). This is a tricky one. Im wearing too many hats
to judge this objectively. Vendors will probably ship this anyway
or something similar.
Linus doesnt want:
* QlogicFC - no big problem, its seperate its clean and vendors can
ship it and other driver addons easily as they do now. Its a
nobrainer to install of the net.
* Message queue support for 32bit sizes. This gets suprisingly
tangled for compatibility. 2.3.x we have 64bit fileops and 32bit
uid to face so do it all then.
* IPI counter
