Hello,
I had build linux-2.6.12-rc3 from a tar file.
It passes successfully. Now I want to apply the inotify patch of Robert Love.
I look under: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rml/inotify/v2.6
I see many version theres.
In 0.23 there are 4 patches which seems relavant:
-
inotify-0.23-rml-2.6.12-rc3-1.patch
inotify-0.23-rml-2.6.12-rc3-2.patch
inotify-0.23-rml-2.6.12-rc3-3.patch
inotify-0.23-rml-2.6.12-rc3-4.patchWhat I do not understand here is this: Is inotify-0.23-rml-2.6.12-rc3-1.patch can ve applied on linux-2.6.12-rc3? or should I apply first a pacth named linux-2.6.12-rc3-1?
The same is for the 3 other paches : how should I apply them ?
Is this "enumeration" ,so to speak, means that I need to patch first inotify patch 1 , then inotify patch 2 ,
than inotify patch 3 ,and than inotify patch 3 ; or does it mean that the kernel itself , inux-2.6.12-rc3,
has 4 correspondong patches , and in order to patch inotift I nees to take an inorify patch number
which is the same as the inux-2.6.12-rc3 patch number ?
Regards, John
