A performance enhancement that reduced the number of partial-page journal writes resulted in some journal records staying in cache indefinately. We need to make sure that these records are written in a timely fashion.

Originally, before this set of patches moving stuff out from kernel/ksyms.c, set_cpus_schedule was EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, my mistake, bring it back. Also follow Andrew Morton's suggestions of moving the EXPORT_SYMBOL{_GPL) even closer to the place where the symbol exported is defined, i.e. just after the symbol definition, this makes mistakes more difficult to happen, as when the symbol definition is #ifdefed the EXPORT_SYMBOL{_GPL} is in the same block.

Our tools are somewhat too stupid. They find a mistyped CONFIG_HIGMEM (missing 'H') and assume a dependency on config/higmem.h. Fix the comment.

Vserver is a patch that implements BSD jail style virtual host semantics inside Linux, where every process not only runs in its own namespace (it reuses the chroot code for that, should switch to CLONE_NEWNS for 2.6), but also its own hostname and IP address as well as its own view of /proc. Because of that added functionality, it needs more than what is available in the LSM framework (which can only allow/deny permissions, not alter return values). The source code has been running stable for the last few years and is in use at quite a few service providers. The Fedora project also wants to use vserver for their build system. However, vserver for 2.4 just tacks their syscalls onto the end of the syscall table and the userland tools find those "dynamic numbers" somehow ... EWWWW. For 2.6 I'd like to do things right. At the moment the vserver patch has sys_new_s_context and sys_set_ipv4root calls, but since we'll probably end up getting an ipv6 call too and people are planning future functionality, I guess it would be more appropriate to multiplex these through one sys_vserver patch, in the same way sys_ipc works. For your reference, you can find more information about vserver on these pages: http://www.13thfloor.at/VServer/ http://www.solucorp.qc.ca/miscprj/s_context.hc I estimate the project has about a dozen developers now. We are planning on making the implementation for 2.6 fairly lightweight, reusing infrastructure from other code where possible and only doing things through sys_vserver where there is no other way. This small change just adds sys_vserver to the syscall table.

This picks up another place where aliases where getting lost. And adds a couple of checks. I can't hang the osdl database thingy anymore. The transfer alias list loops could probably quite nicely be changed to if (unlikely(!list_empty( old_queuelist ))) __list_splice( old_queuelist, new_queuelist.prev);

There doesn't seem to be any active maintainer for EFS: It's either abandoned, or never required specific patches too badly (also quite possible in this case). It went into the tree in 2.3.2 and from there to 2.6.0-test6 I see nothing that would look like maintainer's update. OTOH, it's read-only and shouldn't be too badly broken (or hard to keep alive). Outside of trunk (i.e. in 2.4.16--) we have a backport of global 2.5 change (sb_bread()) and check for set_blocksize() failures (from Alan). This is the 2.6.x equivalent.

ide-floppy has screwy bio handling. I rewrote it and got confirmation from one tester (the only one :) that it actually works now.

ELF_CORE_SYNC and dump_smp_unlazy_fpu seem to have been introduced by Ingo around 2.5.43, but as far as I can tell, never used.
