Description of problem:
While all other sources and patches are identical in the
latest errata kernels for 9/8.0/7.3 (some turned on only for nptl),

          linux-2.4.20-rmap-updates.patch

differs slightly:

        // ret += shrink_other_caches( DEF_PRIORITY, gfp_mask); 
  #ifdef CONFIG_QUOTA
        ret += shrink_dqcache_memory(DEF_PRIORITY, gfp_mask);

Is that on purpose? If not, which is the correct patch to use?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Unpack the src.rpm for RH9 and one of RH8.0 or RH7.3.
2. Compare all files.
3. Only file that differs is the above one.


Actual Results:  The files differ (see diff in description)

Expected Results:  All files should be equal.

Additional info:

If this is on prupose, please rename the file for RH9 to
allow the different kernel sources/patches to coexists in the same
folder.

Comment 1 Rik van Riel 2003-08-20 10:49:28 UTC
The second variant is the correct one.
