. this allows us to kill the shorlived kmalloc/kfree for events in the fast path. . because of this there is no need for the skb member in the event structs . use more labeled elements in the transition tables . simplify llc_sock proc routine . more kernedoc style comments . . remove unused defines in llc_main.h . create llc_set_backlog_type and llc_backlog_type .

This just adds an if switch to irq_balance which the compiler optimises away anyway.

This patch that adds a prctl so that processes can set their floating-point exception mode on PPC and on PPC64. We need this because the FP exception mode is controlled by bits in the machine state register, which can only be accessed by the kernel, and because the exception mode setting interacts with the lazy FPU save/restore that the kernel does.

The patch allows userspace to issue printk's, via sys_syslog(). The main use of this is within hpa's klibc - initial userspace needs a way of logging information and this API allows that information to be captured into the printk ringbuffer. It ends up in /var/log/messages. Messages are truncated at 1024 characters by printk's vsprintf(). Requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN.

Make sure we delete devices from the driver list the iteration after we detach them (so we can get a valid next pointer)

- I changed the sector_t thing in max_block to use davem's approach. I agree with Anton, but making it explicit doesn't hurt. - Remove a dead comment in copy_strings. Old stuff: - Remove the IO error warning in end_buffer_io_sync(). Failed READA attempts trigger it. - Emit a warning when an ext2 is mounting an ext3 filesystem. We have had quite a few problem reports related to this, mainly arising from initrd problems. And mount(8) tends to report the fstype from /etc/fstab rather than reporting what has really happened. Fixes some bogosity which I added to max_block(): - `size' doesn't need to be sector_t - `retval' should not be initialised to "~0UL" because that is 0x00000000ffffffff with 64-bit sector_t. - Allocate task_structs with GFP_KERNEL, as discussed. - Convert the EXPORT_SYMBOL for generic_file_direct_IO() to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. That was only exported as a practicality for the raw driver. - Make the loop thread run balance_dirty_pages() after dirtying the backing file. So it will perform writeback of the backing file when dirty memory levels are high. Export balance_dirty_pages to GPL modules for this. This makes loop work a lot better - I suspect it broke when callers of balance_dirty_pages() started writing back only their own queue. There are many page allocation failures under heavy loop writeout. Coming from blk_queue_bounce()'s allocation from the page_pool mempool. So... - Disable page allocation warnings around the initial atomic allocation attempt in mempool_alloc() - the one where __GFP_WAIT and __GFP_IO were turned off. That one can easily fail. - Add some commentary in block_write_full_page()

get_page_state() is showing up on profiles on some big machines. It is a quite expensive function and it is being called too often. The patch replaces the hardwired RATELIMIT_PAGES with a calculated amount based on the amount of memory in the machine and the number of CPUs.

include/linux/prefetch.h does a strange thing: if the arch doesn't have the prefectch functions, this header defines no-op version of them and then defines ARCH_HAS_PREFETCH. So there's no way for mainline code to know if the architecture *really* has prefetch instructions. This information loss is unfortunate. Examples: for (i = 0; i < N; i++) prefetch(foo[i]); Problem is, if `prefetch' is a no-op, the compiler will still generate an empty busy-wait loop. Which it must do. We need to know the truth about ARCH_HAS_PREFETCH to correctly elide that loop.

This adds two new clone() flags: CLONE_SETTLS => if present then the third clone() syscall parameter is the new TLS. CLONE_SETTID => if present then the child TID is written to the address specified by the fourth clone() parameter. the new parameters are handled in a safe way, clone() returns -EFAULT or -EINVAL if there's some problem with them.

Here is a trivial bug fix for blkdev_reread_part() in 2.5.31. Without this fix, "fdisk" hangs with following messages: Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table. WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy. The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at the next reboot.

Change all iterators of devices to: - use list_for_each - check return of get_device_locked - don't break until we hold the lock if we get an error When a device's reference count hits 0, remove it from all lists, including bus and driver lists. Between the iterator algorithm and the guaranteed removal from the lists, there should never be a device in a list with a reference count of 0. So, whenever we're iterating over the lists, we'll always have a valid device. We don't decrement the refcount until the next iteration of the loop, so we're also guaranteed to get the correct next item in the list.
