Sam Vilain's linux kernel patch collection
Here you will find information on the kernel I use, and links
to the patches and their sources.
I am currently using the 2.4.16 kernel, with the following
patches:
- Supplemental reiserfs patches, from ftp.namesys.com.
Get this entire directory and apply the patches.
- My immutable Linkage patch for reiserfs -
linux-2.4.16-reiserfspatches-immutable-linkage.patch
- Virtual server patch - the original
has parts of my other
immutable linkage patch rolled into it, so I have produced
linux-2.4.16-reiserfspatches-immutable-ctx4.patch,
which is the incremental changes for vserver.
- Pre-emptible
kernel patch (increases workstation responsiveness).
Apply
preempt-kernel-rml-2.4.16-2.patch.
You may wish to install
lock-break-rml-2.4.16-3.patch,
the lock breaking patch, or
preempt-stats-rml-2.4.16-pre1-1.patch,
the preemption stats patch, although I've had the odd hard
hang with those patches.
- Linux
international crypto patch (if you want encrypted filesystems)
linux-2.4.16-cryptoapi.patch
is a port of the most recent monolithic kernel patch to
2.4.16.
-
- Patch to get a whole load more entropy, from the network -
network device entropy patch. You need to install two patches -
netdev-random-core-rml-2.4.16-1.patch
and
netdev-random-drivers-rml-2.4.16-1.patch
