ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.5/2.5.73/2.5.73-mm3/

. The ext2 "free inodes corrupted" problem which Martin saw should be
  fixed.

. The ext3 assertion failure which Maneesh hit should be fixed (I can't
  reproduce this, please retest?)

. A patch from Neil which will hopefully fix the RAID "bio too big" bug. 
  Neil cannot reproduce that, so we are asking anyone who _can_ make this
  happen to test this out.

. The weird behaviour with time-n-date on SpeedStep machines should be
  fixed.  Some of the weird behaviour, at least.

. A tweak to the oom killer here may cause earlier oom-killings.  I was
  able to trigger just the one.  Keep an eye on that please.


And on a personal note: The OSDL will now be sponsoring my kernel work at
Digeo.  This means that I shall become akpm@osdl.org.  akpm@digeo.com still
will work.  Many thanks to the OSDL and Digeo teams who put this together.

Works OK here.

The config option for the feral driver got gratuitously renamed.  To
CONFIG_SCSI_FERAL_ISP.

Configuring highmem support to 4G instead of turning

this machine.

Turning off highmem and page allocation debugging
also compiles.

It is fixed. Ran multiple iterations without any ext3 assertion failure.

Sweet, thanks.

And thanks also for the ext3-debug trace - that found the bug in sixty
seconds of peering.

Bah humbug.

Well, I tried that now. Still E_NO_WORKEE though. Does spit out one
error:

The problem I noted with speedstep-ich.c mangling the loops_per_jiffies variable
is still there.  Looks like I have something to do on the plane tomorrow. ;)

OK, this rediffed version of Mike's earlier patch fixes it - I guess it
got trampled in the merge. All the ifdefs surrounding isplinux_release
are a bit odd, but I think I got 'em right. Would be a damned sight 
easier if we ripped out all that version crud.

I thought maybe I pulled the 2.5.74-mm1 before it was ready for use.

I'll go back to 2.5.73-mm3; just curious what I did wrong.

Looks like:

     53 static int cpufreq_p4_setdc(unsigned int cpu, unsigned int
newstate)
     54 {
     55         u32 l, h;
     56         unsigned long cpus_allowed;

the decl for cpus_allowed should be cpumask_t and the array has to be
copied at places like:

     66         /* switch to physical CPU where state is to be changed*/
     67         cpus_allowed = current->cpus_allowed;

I'll try 2.5.74-mm3...

I tried 2.5.74-mm3 and had a problem with apm_save_cpus()
definition returning a 0. This isn't a pointer to an array.
Perhaps something like this would be better in arch/i386/kernel/apm.c:

    527 /*
    528  *      No CPU lockdown needed on a uniprocessor
    529  *
    530  * #define apm_save_cpus()      0       Need ptr to array
    531  */
    532 static cpumask_t apm_save_cpus(void)
    533 {
    534         cpumask_t x = current->cpus_allowed;
    535         return x;
    536 }

It gets around the compile problem.

I tried 2.5.74-mm3 and had a problem with apm_save_cpus()
definition returning a 0. This isn't a pointer to an array.
Perhaps something like this would be better in arch/i386/kernel/apm.c:

    527 /*
    528  *      No CPU lockdown needed on a uniprocessor
    529  *
    530  * #define apm_save_cpus()      0       Need ptr to array
    531  */
    532 static cpumask_t apm_save_cpus(void)
    533 {
    534         cpumask_t x = current->cpus_allowed;
    535         return x;
    536 }

It gets around the compile problem.
