(I assume the final S is a typo here)

Eric, it looks like you're the one who added these links, would you
happen to have a copy around if you care about keeping these?
Otherwise I'm not sure of the value of listing the papers without the
actual files available, but I don't mind either way.

I agree dead links are of little value though so will pick this up if
there's no reply in a while

https://www.kernel.org/doc/ols/2007/ols2007v2-pages-59-64.pdf ?
