      [PATCH] export flush_tlb_all for drm modules · 8a8197fa
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Jan Dittmer <j.dittmer@portrix.net>
      
      This adds an export for flush_tlb_all to i386_ksyms.c.  The drm modules
      miss this, when compiling for SMP.
      
      I changed Jan's patch to use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.

      Don't set the directory's index flag until we know that we're doing ahead
      with the directory modification.

      [PATCH] ext3: fix memory leak · 508fc350
      Andrew Morton authored
      We need to unconditionally brelse() the buffer in there, because
      journal_remove_journal_head() leaves a ref behind.
      
      release_buffer_page() does that.  Call it all the time because we can usually
      strip the buffers and free the page even if it was not marked buffer_freed().
      
      Mainly affects data=journal mode

      [PATCH] ext3: fix page lock vs journal_start ranking bug · 30276fd6
      Andrew Morton authored
      ext3_block_truncate_page() is calling grab_cache_page() inside a JBD
      transaction.  This is wrong, because transactions nest inside lock_page().
      
      The deadlock is against shrink_list->ext3_journalled_writepage->journal_start.
      
      This was not noticed before because we never used to journal writepage() data
      in journalled-data mode.  And because the deadlock against
      generic_file_write() is covered up by i_sem.
      
      Rework things so that we lock the page prior to starting a transaction.

      [PATCH] compat_sys_old_getrlimit() depends on · b70732ef
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: David Mosberger <davidm@napali.hpl.hp.com>
      
      compat_sys_old_getrlimit() depends on sys_old_getrlimit() and the patch
      below updates the guarding #ifdef accordingly.

      [PATCH] normalise node load for NUMA · 325a2824
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Andrew Theurer <habanero@us.ibm.com>
      
      This patch ensures that when node loads are compared, the load value is
      normalised.  Without this, load balance across nodes of dissimilar cpu
      counts can cause unfairness and sometimes lower overall performance.
      
      For example, a 2 node system with 4 cpus in the first node and 2 cpus in
      the second.  A workload with 6 running tasks would have 3 tasks running on
      one node and 3 on the other, leaving one cpu idle in the first node and two
      tasks sharing a cpu in the second node.  The patch would ensure that 4
      tasks run in the first node and 2 in the second.
      
      I ran some kernel compiles comparing this patch on a 2 node 4 cpu/2 cpu
      system to show the benefits.  Without the patch I got 140 second elapsed
      time.  With the patch I get 132 seconds (6% better).
      
      Although it is not very common to have nodes with dissimilar cpu counts, it
      is already happening.  PPC64 systems with partitioning have this happen,
      and I expect it to be more common on ia32 as partitioning becomes more
      common.
