About the kernels / shortcodes

  • Kernels were compiled off of the master branch of Linus' git tree (git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git)
  • 2.6.36 Kernels (Checked out from the tag "v2.6.36")
    • 36: This kernel has not been modified at all. It was compiled right after checking out "v2.6.36"
    • 36NORC: This kernel has the readdir plus cap for large directories removed
  • 2.6.38 Kernels (Checked out from the tag "v2.6.38")
    • 38: This kernel has not been modified at all. It was compiled right after checking out "v2.6.38"
    • 38RC: This kernel has re-added the readdir plus cap for large directories
    • 38NB: This kernel features a more selective readdir operation. It issues a readdir plus call, and if the extra attributes are used then it will keep issuing readdir plus calls. If the attributes go unused, it will switch over to using a readdir call. This kernel also features loop detection for readdir cookies, a problem that only hit very large directories.
