From: ebiederm+eric@npwt.net (Eric W. Biederman) Date: 29 Jun 1998 18:47:37 -0500 Message-ID: Sender: owner-linux-mm@kvack.org To: SHMFS list Cc: linux-mm@kvack.org List-ID: This is an beta release, aimed at producing a stable version shortly. My code is at: http://www.npwt.net/~ebiederm/files/ files: shmfs-0.1.010.tar.gz shmfs-0.3.001.tar.gz shmfs-0.3.001 is a developmental version written primarily by Gabor Kuti where new features are being worked upon. Since I just started integrating his patches I may have done something stupid... shmfs-0.1.010 has hit the code freeze before becoming shmfs-0.2.000 a stable and usefull version. For people wishing to look at what I have done with dirty pages in the page cache, this should be a good release to look at. I still need to document it more but working code, and clean patches is should be good enough if you know the linux-kernel :) This works with both kernels 2.0.32 and 2.1.101. 2.1.102-2.1.105 should also work but I haven't tested those. Changes since 0.1.009: Rewrote the kernel patches, and modified shmfs to take advantage of the new semantics. With this version shmfs on linux-2.1.101 has become quite useful. Changes since 0.1.008: Fixed minor bugs and ported to kernel 101. Now I should have a correct kernel patch, on a kernel that handles swapping correctly. Use on development kernels is no longer discouraged, only minor performance glitches appear to remain as problems there. Changes since 0.1.004: I have synchronized my two versions, and rewritten a bunch of namei code in the search for races. And I have found and fixed my mysterious mutating symlink bug. Eric
