2006-10-21[PATCH] cpuset: mempolicy migration typo fixPaul Jackson
Mistyped an ifdef CONFIG_CPUSETS - fixed. I doubt that anyone ever noticed. The impact of this typo was that if someone: 1) was using MPOL_BIND to force off node allocations 2) while using cpusets to constrain memory placement 3) when that cpuset was migrating that jobs memory 4) while the tasks in that job were actively forking then there was a rare chance that future allocations using that MPOL_BIND policy would be node local, not off node.

2006-10-21[PATCH] x86-64: Revert timer routing behaviour back to 2.6.16 stateAndi Kleen
By default route the 8254 over the 8259 and only disable it on ATI boards where this causes double timer interrupts. This should unbreak some Nvidia boards where the timer doesn't seem to tick of it isn't enabled in the 8259. At least one VIA board also seemed to have a little trouble with the disabled 8259. For 2.6.20 we'll try both dynamically without black listing, but I think for .19 this is the safer approach because it has been already well tested in earlier kernels. This also makes the x86-64 behaviour the same as i386. Command line options can change all this of course. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

2006-10-21[PATCH] x86-64: Speed up dwarf2 unwinderJan Beulich
This changes the dwarf2 unwinder to do a binary search for CIEs instead of a linear work. The linker is unfortunately not able to build a proper lookup table at link time, instead it creates one at runtime as soon as the bootmem allocator is usable (so you'll continue using the linear lookup for the first [hopefully] few calls). The code should be ready to utilize a build-time created table once a fixed linker becomes available. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

2006-10-20[PATCH] separate bdi congestion functions from queue congestion functionsAndrew Morton
Separate out the concept of "queue congestion" from "backing-dev congestion". Congestion is a backing-dev concept, not a queue concept.

This proper layering is needed so that NFS can cleanly use the congestion functions, and so that CONFIG_BLOCK=n actually links.

2006-10-19[PATCH] Take i_mutex in splice_from_pipe()Mark Fasheh
The splice_actor may be calling ->prepare_write() and ->commit_write(). We want i_mutex on the inode being written to before calling those so that we don't race i_size changes. The double locking behavior is done elsewhere in splice.c, and if we eventually want _nolock variants of generic_file_splice_write(), fs modules might have to replicate the nasty locking code. We introduce inode_double_lock() and inode_double_unlock() to consolidate the locking rules into one set of functions.

2006-10-19[TCP]: Bound TSO defer timeJohn Heffner
This patch limits the amount of time you will defer sending a TSO segment to less than two clock ticks, or the time between two acks, whichever is longer. On slow links, deferring causes significant bursts. See attached plots, which show RTT through a 1 Mbps link with a 100 ms RTT and ~100 ms queue for (a) non-TSO, (b) currnet TSO, and (c) patched TSO. This burstiness causes significant jitter, tends to overflow queues early (bad for short queues), and makes delay-based congestion control more difficult. Deferring by a couple clock ticks I believe will have a relatively small impact on performance. Signed-off-by: John Heffner <jheffner@psc.edu> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
