One more set of checkins before the next release. This one makes the ubd driver fall back to synchronous I/O if it can't start the I/O thread. The main reason this can happen is that the I/O thread communicates with the kernel with a pts pty, which can't be allocated by a normal user on sme distributions. So, not having a backup plan would make uml unusable for those people without running as root. I also changed arch/um/defconfig and bumped EXTRAVERSION in arch/um/Makefile. Jeff |
