Improve the performance of slab_put_obj(). Without the cast, gcc considers ptrdiff_t a 64 bit signed integer and ends up emitting code to use a full signed 128 bit divide on EM64T, which is substantially slower than a 32 bit unsigned divide. I noticed this when looking at the profile of a case where the slab balance is just on edge and thrashes back and forth freeing a block. Signed-off-by:

- If we only reclaim nr_pages then its okay to stay on node. Switch from > to >= for the comparison. - vm_table[] entry for zone_reclaim_mode is a bit screwed up. - Add empty lines around shrink_zone to show that this is the central function to be called. Signed-off-by:

Zone reclaim is usually only run on the local node. Headless nodes do not have any local processors. This patch checks for headless nodes and performs zone reclaim on them. Signed-off-by:

Ensure that the performance of off node pages stays the same as before. Off node pagefault tests showed an 18% drop in performance without this patch. - Increase the timeout to 30 seconds to reduce the overhead. - Move all code possible out of the off node hot path for zone reclaim (Sorry Andrew, the struct initialization had to be sacrificed). The read_page_state() bit us there. - Check first for the timeout before any other checks. Signed-off-by:

OpenBSD doesn't see "." correctly in directories created by Linux. Copying files over several KB will buy you infinite loop in __getblk_slow(). Copying files smaller than 1 KB seems to be OK. Sometimes files will be filled with zeros. Sometimes incorrectly copied file will reappear after next file with truncated size. Signed-off-by:

The flattened device tree is the only supported way of booting ARCH=powerpc kernels on non Open Firmware machines. The documentation for the flattened tree format and contents has been discussed on mailing lists and lately has been living in the dtc git tree. Really, it ought to go in the kernel's Documentation directory for maximum visibility. Signed-off-by:

Avoid lost tick compensation early in boot before the TSCs are synchronized. Currently timekeeping is enabled before the TSCs are synchronized, thus when the TSCs are synched (reset to zero), it appears that a number of lost ticks have occurred. This can cause premature expiry of timers and in extreme cases can cause the soft lockup detection to fire. This resolves issues reported by Andy Whitcroft as well as bug #5366 reported by Tim Mann.

Change sched_getaffinity() so that it returns a bitmap that indicates the legally schedulable cpus that a task is allowed to run on. Without this patch, if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is enabled, sched_getaffinity() unconditionally returns (at least on IA64) a mask with NR_CPUS bits set. This conveys no useful infornmation except for a kernel compile option. This fixes a breakage we obseved running recent kernels. We have MPI jobs that use sched_getaffinity() to determine where to place their threads. Placing them on non-existant cpus is problematic :-) Signed-off-by:

This arch-independent routine copies data to a memory-mapped I/O region, using 32-bit accesses. The naming is double-underscored to make it clear that it does not guarantee write ordering, nor does it perform a memory barrier afterwards; the kernel doc also explicitly states this. This style of access is required by some devices. This change also introduces include/linux/io.h, at Andrew's suggestion. It only has one occupant at the moment, but is a logical destination for oft-replicated contents of include/asm-*/{io,iomap}.h to migrate to. Signed-off-by: -

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. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:
