Linux 2.4.32-pre2

[Marcelo Tosatti]

Hi,

Here goes another -pre, after a long period.

A couple of USB corrections, a socket hashing bugfix and ipvs race
condition, avoidance of rare inode cache SMP race.

And a zlib security update (erratic changelog for that one, my fault),

Breaks Toshiba laptop: hard lockup --> what is on screen is same as
working dmesg up to point: "host/uhci.c: detected 2 port"

Same .config as for 2.4.31-hf3 or 2.4.32-pre1

Grant.

Am I missing something here? We're certainly adding TDs to the schedule, so
why is this patch setting the QH bit?

Yes, that fixed it :o) a USB mouse works.

dmesg:
...
host/uhci.c: detected 2 ports <<== previous lockup after this
usb.c: kmalloc IF c12f36e0, numif 1
usb.c: new device strings: Mfr=0, Product=2, SerialNumber=1
usb.c: USB device number 1 default language ID 0x0
Product: USB UHCI-alt Root Hub
SerialNumber: ff80
...

And the other USB driver (usb-uhci) didn't lockup.

Thanks,
