LWN.net kernel patch page

Kernel patches

This is an archive of kernel patches as seen by the LWN.net editors. It is presented as a window into the ongoing Linux kernel development process. Not all patches are here - mostly those which eventually find their way into the "patches and updates" section in the LWN.net Kernel Page. The dates listed, for now, are the dates the patch was posted into the LWN system - not when the author originally posted it to the net (we'll fix that).

Note that, as with all kernel patches, there is no guarantee that what you find here won't break your system, delete your files, make you violate the DMCA, or drink all your beer.
