PATCH 1/1 Linux 2.4.21-pre3-jam3

Hi all.

Just to announce a new release, with some updates and novelties (important ones, aic and epoll...)
As usual:

http://giga.cps.unizar.es/~magallon/linux/kernel/2.4.21-pre3-jam3.tar.bz2
http://giga.cps.unizar.es/~magallon/linux/kernel/2.4.21-pre3-jam3/

NOTE: there is anew version of bproc, but I could not update it 'cause the tarball in bproc.sf.net is corrupted...

Changelog:
- aa updated to -pre3-aa1
- highpage_init integrated in -aa
- killed cd-read-audio-dma, because it was giving too much oopses...
- 08-e100-hw-init.bz2
Fix hard reset of controller in some boards.
Author: [email protected]
- 18-fat-fdmode.bz2
Add mount flags for file (fmode=...) and dir (dmode=...) in vfat fs.
Author: Paul Evans <[email protected]>
- 32-epoll-0.61.bz2
Improved polling interface via sys_epoll call. Faster, lighter and more scalable.
Author: Davide Libenzi <[email protected]>
- 33-epoll-smbfs
Fix for smbfs.
- 37-ext3-scheduling-storm.bz2
Fixes an inefficiency and potential system lockup in ext3 filesystem. Anyone who is using tasks which have realtime scheduling policy on ext3 systems should apply this change.

Is someone working on this (assuming it will eventually get into 2.6)? It seems to make a worthwhile improvement when ripping CDs. Not as worthwhile as stability, obviously ;-)

Hum, I believe that means cdrecord, although I've never seen a problem.
