Bligh" To: linux-kernel cc: lse-tech Subject: 2.6.0-test9-mjb1 Message-ID: <14860000.1067544022@flay> X-Mailer: Mulberry/2.1.2 (Linux/x86) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org The patchset contains mainly scalability and NUMA stuff, and anything else that stops things from irritating me. It's meant to be pretty stable, not so much a testing ground for new stuff. I'd be very interested in feedback from anyone willing to test on any platform, however large or small. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mbligh/2.6.0-test9/patch-2.6.0-test9-mjb1.bz2 Since 2.6.0-test8-mjb1 (~ = changed, + = added, - = dropped) Notes: Mostly a merge forwards. Now in Linus' tree: Dropped: New: + autoswap Con Kolivas Auto-tune swapiness + ext2_fix Andrew Morton Fix a race in ext2 Pending: lotsa_sds config_numasched 4/4 split new kgdb list_of_lists Hyperthreaded scheduler (Ingo Molnar) scheduler callers profiling (Anton or Bill Hartner) Child runs first (akpm) Kexec e1000 fixes Update the lost timer ticks code pidmaps_nodepages (Dave Hansen) Present in this patch: early_printk Dave Hansen / Keith Mannthey Allow printk before console_init confighz Andrew Morton / Dave Hansen Make HZ a config option of 100 Hz or 1000 Hz config_page_offset Dave Hansen / Andrea Make PAGE_OFFSET a config option numameminfo Martin Bligh / Keith Mannthey Expose NUMA meminfo information under /proc/meminfo.numa sched_tunables Robert Love Provide tunable parameters for the scheduler (+ NUMA scheduler) partial_objrmap Dave McCracken Object based rmap for filebacked pages. spinlock_inlining Andrew Morton & Martin J. Bligh Inline spinlocks for profiling. Made into a ugly config option by me. lockmeter John Hawkes / Hanna Linder Locking stats. sched_interactive Ingo Molnar Bugfix for interactive scheduler local_balance_exec Martin J. Bligh Modify balance_exec to use node-local queues when idle tcp_speedup Martin J. Bligh Speedup TCP (avoid double copy) as suggested by Linus disable preempt Martin J. Bligh I broke preempt somehow, temporarily disable it to stop accidents ppc64 pci fix Anton Blanchard Fix some ppc64 pci thing or other. per_node_idt Zwane Mwaikambo Per node IDT so we can do silly numbers of IO-APICs on NUMA-Q aiofix2 Mingming Cao fixed a bug in ioctx_alloc() config_irqbal Keith Mannthey Make irqbalance a config option percpu_real_loadavg Dave Hansen / Martin J. Bligh Tell me what the real load average is, and tell me per cpu. nolock Dave McCracken Nah, we don't like locks. mbind_part1 Matt Dobson Bind some memory for NUMA. mbind_part2 Matt Dobson Bind some more memory for NUMA. per_node_rss Matt Dobson Track which nodes tasks mem is on, so sched can be sensible. pfn_to_nid Martin J. Bligh Dance around the twisted rats nest of crap in i386 include. gfp_node_strict Dave Hansen Add a node strict binding as a gfp mask option page_lock William Lee Irwin Conditionally convert mapping->page_lock back to an rwlock irqbal_fast Adam Litke Balance IRQs more readily kcg Adam Litke Acylic call graphs from the kernel. Wheeeeeeeeeeeee! numa_mem_equals Dave Hansen mem= command line parameter NUMA awareness. qlogic driver Qlogic The qlogic driver autoswap Con Kolivas Auto-tune swapiness ext2_fix Andrew Morton Fix a race in ext2 -mjb Martin J.
