Bligh" To: linux-kernel cc: lse-tech Subject: 2.5.69-mjb1 Message-ID: <9380000.1052624649@[10.10.2.4]> X-Mailer: Mulberry/2.2.1 (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/2.5.69/patch-2.5.69-mjb1.bz2 additional patches that can be applied if desired: (these two form the qlogic feral driver) ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.5/2.5.67/2.5.67-mm1/broken-out/linux-isp.patch ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.5/2.5.67/2.5.67-mm1/broken-out/isp-update-1.patch Since 2.5.68-mjb3 (~ = changed, + = added, - = dropped) Notes: Now in Linus' tree: - node_balance Martin J. Bligh Turn on node balance - it's not overagressive anymore - sisfix (equivalent fix) Martin J. Bligh Fix warning & bug in sis900 driver - diskstats Rick Lindsley Make disk stats available in /proc so they scale to lotsa disks. - lost_tick_fix John Stultz Lost tick stuff - dentry_stat_fix Maneesh corrects the dentry_stat.nr_unused calculation - follow_hugetlb_page Bill Irwin Fix follow_hugetlb_page() - hugetlb_mem_enough Bill Irwin fixes an overflow when there is more than 4GB of hugetlb - aio_fix Badari Pulavarty Fix something in AIO - oom_locking Bill Irwin / Robert Love Fix OOM locking Dropped until I get an updated version because I'm too idle to merge them ;-) - separate_pmd Dave Hansen Separate kernel pmd per process - banana_split Dave Hansen Provide non PMD aligned splits with PAE mode (eg 3.5:0.5) New: + fsaio_vs_aio_fix Janet Morgan (?) Fix up a fistfight between AIO and fsAIO. Pending: Hyperthreaded scheduler (Ingo Molnar) scheduler callers profiling (Anton or Bill Hartner) Child runs first (akpm) Kexec e1000 fixes Update the lost timer ticks code Present in this patch: early_printk Dave Hansen et al.
