mbuff-0.7.3 released.




Here comes the wonderfully untested release of mbuff.
http://crds.chemie.unibas.ch/PCI-MIO-E/mbuff-0.7.3.tar.gz

CHANGES:

v0.7.3 08.12.2000
"(unsigned long)" added before "page_address( pte_page(pte))" to compile
in 2.4.0test11 version. Also survives virt_to_page <-> MAP_NR change.
(Terry Ridder,  Michael Barabanov)
Updated documentation.
Cosmetic changes to Makefile.
"static inline" and "DEV_NAME" patches from Stuart Hughes.
Introduced spinlocks for SMP safety. VERIFYME.
Introduced mbuff_open - just gathered common code from all mbuff_*. User
only.
Introduced mbuff_mmap(_at) - map _existing_ mbuff or fail with NULL.
Introduced mbuff_size - get the size of _existing_ mbuff or -EINVAL.
Removed rtl_nfifo.c from distribution.
Updated kernel_compat.h


This is a snapshot, experimental release. If verified, most of the changes
will be included in stable 0.6 release. I intend to proceed to fix fork/VMA
cloning problem - this will be probably done only in 0.7.

If there are requests not done now and not in TODO file, please tell me.

Enjoy,
