File: rt_cache_stat.dif
|
|
Apply to: kernel < 2.4.7
|
|
Status: recommended for kernels < 2.4.7.
|
|
already present in >= 2.4.7
|
|
Description: tracing efficiency of routing cache
|
|
Side effects: none

File: pidentd-3.0.12.dif
|
|
Apply to: pident-3.0.12 tree f.e. from am redhat rpm
|
|
Status: highly recommended
|
|
Description: Patch to pidentd allowing to use tcpdiag facility and fixing
|
|
some bugs in original pident.
|
|
Side effects: none. Does not break anything not depending on kernel version,
|
|
even if tcpdiag is absent.
|
|
Advice: not related to this patch but should be said yet.
|
|
Do NOT configure pidentd to use threads! Use option
|
|
"--without-threads" when doing "configure".
|
|
pidentd is typical example of application where
|
|
threading results in nothing but collapse of performance.
|
|
Apparently author learned thread programming and decided
|
|
to apply new knowledge to the first victim.

File: symbol_exports.dif
|
|
Apply to: kernel < 2.4.17
|
|
Status: desired for kernels < 2.4.17
|
|
not needed for kernels >= 2.4.17
|
|
Description: exports symbols required to load tcpdiag module
|
|
tcpdiag is builtin since 2.4.17, hence the exports
|
|
are redundant.
|
|
Side effects: none
|
|
|
|
File: af_unix.dif
|
|
Apply to: kernel
|
|
Status: recommended
|
|
Desciption: implements fragmented skb for unix sockets reducing
|
|
vm pressure for datagram sockets and adds to /proc/net/unix
|
|
columns allowing to monitor recv/send memory and identify
|
|
peer of connected sockets.
|
|
Side effects: "lsof" blames something about unix sockets.
|
|
Not a big loss, lsof is not able to tell anything more
|
|
clever than "can't identify protocol" for sockets anyway.
|
|
Note: the patch affects area where one or two lines changed
|
|
several times while 2.4. It does not depend on this,
|
|
but unfortunately may reject. It apply cleanly to
|
|
2.4.17.
