[PATCH] VMSPLIT config options
Enable selection of different user/kernel VM splits for i386, including an
optimized mode for 1GB physical RAM, which gives the kernel a direct (non
HIGHMEM) mapping to the entire 1GB rather than just the first 896MB.
There is a similarly a similarly optimized mode for machines with exactly 2GB
of physical RAM.
This can speed up the kernel by avoiding having to create/destroy temporary
HIGHMEM mappings, and by not having to include HIGHMEM support at all on such
machines. The flip side is that there's less virtual addressing left for
userspace in these alternatives, and some binary-only kernel modules may
misbehave unless rebuilt with the same VMSPLIT option as the main kernel

The page migration code may change a swap pte to point to a different page

If that happens then the vm must retry the lookup operation in the swap space
to find the correct page number. There are a couple of locations in the VM
where a lock_page() is done on a swap page. In these locations we need to
check afterwards if the page was migrated. If the page was migrated then the
old page that was looked up before was freed and no longer has the

If large amounts of zone memory are used by empty slabs then zone_reclaim
becomes uneffective. This patch shakes the slab a bit.
The problem with this patch is that the slab reclaim is not containable to a
zone. Thus slab reclaim may affect the whole system and be extremely slow.
This also means that we cannot determine how many pages were freed in this
zone. Thus we need to go off node for at least one allocation.
The functionality is disabled by default.
We could modify the shrinkers to take a zone parameter but that would be quite

[PATCH] Zone reclaim: Allow modification of zone reclaim behavior
In some situations one may want zone_reclaim to behave differently. For
example a process writing large amounts of memory will spew unto other nodes
to cache the writes if many pages in a zone become dirty. This may impact the
performance of processes running on other nodes.
Allowing writes during reclaim puts a stop to that behavior and throttles the
process by restricting the pages to the local zone.
Similarly one may want to contain processes to local memory by enabling
regular swap behavior during zone_reclaim. Off node memory allocation can
then be controlled through memory policies and cpusets.

[PATCH] zone_reclaim: configurable off node allocation period.
Currently the zone_reclaim code has a fixed window of 30 seconds of off node
allocations should a local zone have no unused pagecache pages left. Reclaim
will be attempted again after this timeout period to avoid repeated useless
scans for memory. This is also useful to established sufficiently large off
node allocation chunks to relieve the local node.
It may be beneficial to adjust that time period for some special situations.
For example if memory use was exceeding node capacity one may want to give up
for longer periods of time. If memory spikes intermittendly then one may want
to shorten the time period to reduce the number of off node allocations.
This patch allows just that....

Clean up the interface to hrtimers by changing the init code to pass the mode
as well as the clock. This allow the init code to select the correct base and
eliminates extra timer re-init code in posix-timers. We also simplify the
restart interface nanosleep use.

[PATCH] hrtimers: fix posix-timer requeue race
From: Steven Rostedtrostedt@goodmis.org <rostedt@goodmis.org>
CPU0 expires a posix-timer and runs the callback function. The signal is
queued.
After releasing the posix-timer lock and before returning to hrtimer_run_queue
CPU0 gets interrupted. CPU1 delivers the queued signal and rearms the timer.
CPU0 comes back to hrtimer_run_queue and sets the timer state to expired.
The next modification of the timer can result in an oops, because the state
information is wrong.
Keep track of state = RUNNING and check if the state has been in the return
path of hrtimer_run_queue. In case the state has been changed, ignore a
restart request and do not touch the state variable.

using the address of the buffer rather than the contents of it.
The patch adds more nasty typecasting, but I think the whole arrangement could
be done in a more typesafe manner.

At the 2.6.12 timeframe ipmi_si_intf.c was patched to provide default
register spacings in try_init_acpi() if the register spacing was set to
zero, similar to code in other routines.
Unfortunately, another patch was simultaneously added that exits early from
try_init_acpi() if the register spacings are set to zero, circumventing the
new defaults. This patch removes the early exit code and some incorrect
comments that aren't present in other common code snippets.

Clean up the code responsible for the on-disk mirror logs by using the
set_le_bit test_le_bit functions of ext2. That makes the BE machines keep the
bitmap internally in LE order - it does mean you can't use any other type of
operations on the bitmap words but that looks to be OK in this instance. The
efficiency tradeoff is very minimal as you would expect for something that
ext2 uses.
This allows us to remove bits_to_core(), bits_to_disk() and log->disk_bits.
Also increment the mirror log disk version transparently to avoid sharing with
older kernels that suffered from the 64-bit BE bug.

If you're using lvm2, for this patch to work properly you should update to

[PATCH] ide-scsi: fix for IDE probe/remove ops changes
Kernel 2.6.16-rc1 broke the ide-scsi driver: ide-scsi loads but fails to
find any devices to bind to. It also triggers a message "Driver 'ide-scsi'
needs updating - please use bus_type methods" from the driver core.
The IDE core in 2.6.16-rc1 changed the location of an IDE driver's
->probe()/->remove()/->shutdown() methods: they are now in the ide_driver_t
struct not in the gen_driver sub-struct. drivers/ide/ was updated for this
change but ide-scsi.c wasn't. Hence the breakage.
This patch repairs ide-scsi and also eliminates the driver core warning.
