Note that this is <i>not</i> the place to search through the LWN email archive; you can search that archive on the <a href="/ml/">mailing-list page</a>. <p> The search syntax is simple, and the search engine understands basic English word transformations (thus a search for "page" will also find instances of "pages" or even "paging"). Putting a search string "in quotes" will search for the given words in sequence. <p> <p> <blockquote> <form action="/Search/DoTextSearch" method="post"> <table class="Form"> <tr><td valign="top"><b>Query:</b></td> <td valign="top"><input type="text" name="words" value="" size="40" /></td></tr> <tr><td valign="top"><b>Filters:</b></td> <td valign="top"><table width="100%"> <tr><th>Content type</th><th>Categories</th></tr> <tr><td valign="top"> <input type="checkbox" name="ctype11" value="yes" checked="checked" /> LWN Feature article<br><input type="checkbox" name="ctype8" value="yes" checked="checked" /> Guest article<br><input type="checkbox" name="ctype3" value="yes" checked="checked" /> News item<br><input type="checkbox" name="ctype12" value="yes" /> Email item<br><input type="checkbox" name="ctype1" value="yes" /> Security alert<br><input type="checkbox" name="ctype2" value="yes" /> Security vulnerability<br><input type="checkbox" name="ctype7" value="yes" /> Kernel patch<br><input type="checkbox" name="ctype50" value="yes" /> Comment</td> <td valign="top"> <input type="checkbox" name="cat_79" value="yes" checked="checked" /> Announcements<br><input type="checkbox" name="cat_271" value="yes" checked="checked" /> Briefs<br><input type="checkbox" name="cat_56" value="yes" checked="checked" /> Commerce<br><input type="checkbox" name="cat_25" value="yes" checked="checked" /> Development<br><input type="checkbox" name="cat_21" value="yes" checked="checked" /> Distributions<br><input type="checkbox" name="cat_1" value="yes" checked="checked" /> Front<br><input type="checkbox" name="cat_8" value="yes" checked="checked" /> Kernel<br><input type="checkbox" name="cat_2" value="yes" checked="checked" /> Legal<br><input type="checkbox" name="cat_84" value="yes" checked="checked" /> Letters<br><input type="checkbox" name="cat_72" value="yes" checked="checked" /> Press<br><input type="checkbox" name="cat_3" value="yes" checked="checked" /> Security</td></tr><tr><td valign="bottom"> <div id="ctypeshide" style="display:none"> <input type="checkbox" name="ctypesbox" value="yes" onclick=" ['ctype11', 'ctype8', 'ctype3', 'ctype12', 'ctype1', 'ctype2', 'ctype7', 'ctype50'].forEach(n => document.querySelectorAll('input[name=' + n + ']'). forEach(el => el.checked = document.querySelector("input[name=ctypesbox]").checked)) " /> <b>Select all</b> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> document.getElementById("ctypeshide").style.display="block"; </script> </td><td valign="bottom"> <div id="catshide" style="display:none"> <input type="checkbox" name="catsbox" value="yes" checked="checked" onclick=" ['cat_79', 'cat_271', 'cat_56', 'cat_25', 'cat_21', 'cat_1', 'cat_8', 'cat_2', 'cat_84', 'cat_72', 'cat_3'].forEach(n => document.querySelectorAll('input[name=' + n + ']'). forEach(el => el.checked = document.querySelector("input[name=catsbox]").checked)) " /> <b>Select all</b> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> document.getElementById("catshide").style.display="block"; </script> </td></tr></table> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top"><b>Order by:</b></td> <td valign="top"><input type="radio" name="order" value="relevance" />relevance <input type="radio" name="order" value="date" checked="checked" />date</td></tr> <tr><td valign="top"><b></b></td> <td valign="top"><input type="submit" name="Search" value="Search" /></td></tr> </table> </form> </blockquote> </div>  </div>  <div class="rightcol not-print"> <div id="azk93271_right_zone"></div> </div> </div>  <br clear="all"> <center> <P> <span class="ReallySmall"> Copyright © 2025, Eklektix, Inc.<BR> Comments and public postings are copyrighted by their creators.<br> Linux is a registered trademark of Linus Torvalds<br> </span> </center> </body></html>
