- With respect to just the patches directly related to kernel
- performance, I've had no troubles with the following six:
-
- patch00018 select()
- patch00019 slip
- patch00045 silo overflow
- patch00001 cgd makefile
- patch00002 bufpage
- patch00009 mbuf
-
- I did post a fix for patch00019 a few weeks ago, but it only affects
- the performance of slip. If you aren't running slip you can ignore
- it.
-
- After appplying the following ten I've seen more frequent kernel
- panics, but none of the code in the patches themselves look suspect.
-
- Does anyone have any information on problems with these patches?
-
- patch00007 filesystem performance
- patch00010 console scrolling backward
- patch00011 copy on write
- patch00012 ring buffer
- patch00017 dma
- patch00024 execute permission
- patch00025 execve #!
- patch00033 read /dev/drum crash
- patch00042 nfs read
- patch00044 daylight savings time
