Thanks for including these patches. Here is one more that is needed to
make some old synaptics touchpads work.
When setting the mode byte, don't set bits that the touchpad doesn't
understand. Those bits are reserved and setting them can lead to
weird problems, like the left button not working, as reported by Miles
Lane.

I have the same opinion with respect to 2.6.0-test2-mm2 here, but with a
box much more powrful than yours (fact that did not prevent jerky
behaviour in past kernel releases though).
Under my "common" workload (X, Mozilla in pages full of crap^Wflash,
xmms, several monitors, spamassassin analyzing no less than 10
simultaneous mails, and "make -j25 bzImage" to add some more work to the
mix) mouse movement was smooth, and MP3 didn't skip. So i nthis aspect,
2.6.0-test2-mm2 is better than 2.6.0-test2-G7 (2.6.0-test2 with Ingo's
sched-2.6.0-test1-G7).
But there is one thing 2.6.0-test2-mm2 "does" worse than 2.6.0-test2-G7,
and that is prevent windows in X to freeze under heavy window movement
(with "show contents of windows while moving" ON, of course). Under
2.6.0-test2-G7 I was unable to make windows freeze, but with
2.6.0-test2-mm2 I can after several seconds, and the moving window (and
the rest of them) get frozen for a while (couple of seconds).
Hope this helps.

Hmm, must investigate. Any change if you toggle CONFIG_FW_LOADER?

I can't reproduce it in >= -mm3 and I don't have my -mm2 tree anymore.
I assume that whatever caused it, it's fixed.

I have noticed that while the system remains responsive when there is
heavy CPU load alone, the unresponsiveness comes when there is heavy disk
i/o. In light of this, I subjected my system to the following tests :
1) Untarred linux-2.6.0-test2.tar.bz2 (To create a stream of writes)
2) did a `find / -name "foobar" -print` as root (To create a stream of reads)
3) bzip2'ed a 30 MB file to 3.2 MB ( this ensures 100 % CPU usage).
All the above were working on the same disk.
As the above three things were going on, I was browsing, playing music
on xmms, reading a pdf file in acrobat and generally switching between
windows.
I did the above test on both 2.6.0-test2-mm1 + O11int + O11.1int ( no
O11.2 int) and on 2.6.0-test2-mm2. I find that mm1 + O11 patches are
better than mm2. The music never skipped on mm1, while it did on
mm2. Also, overall resposiveness of the various windows was better on
mm1.
However, when I did a `rpm --rebuilddb` on mm1 + O11int patches, I
still got quite severe skipping toward the end of the 8 min process. I
could not repeat the skipping again, even on the same kernel, because
I guess there was not much rebuilding to do again..
If there are tools which I can use to produce helpful numbers, please
let me know. I will post the required numbers ASAP.
Also, if you have any other tests which I could perform to create
heavy disk I/O, please let me know about that too.
Regards,
- Apurva

rpm is probably doing a lot of fsync() calls, so you'd want a benchmark that
did similar. You'd get similar results from a mail server, or client
running on a bunch of messages too.

How embarressing. Russell King noticed a similar problem
in agpgart a while back, and I overlooked the adjacent struct.
Likewise, I goofed in cpufreq. Oops. Thanks for fixing them up.

Nah, that patch is bogus:
.subdevice = PCI_ANY_ID,
},
- { }
+ { 0, },
These two things are equivalent: it is a no-op.
The bug was actually the __devinitdata problem.

Greg did a tree-wide sweep and removed __devinitdata and __initdata from a
large number of pci_device_id tables. Linus merged that yesterday.
