      [PATCH] reiserfs: truncate leak fix · e2de7edb
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Chris Mason <mason@suse.com>
      
      reiserfs_unmap_buffer should clean and wait on all buffers.  This fixes a
      leak under fsx workloads.

      From: Chris Mason <mason@suse.com>
      
      reiserfs_file_write makes a hole one block too large if it is the first thing
      in the file.

      [PATCH] reiserfs: fix race with writepage · 7a06b83d
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Chris Mason <mason@suse.com>
      
      Fix reiserfs_writepage so it doesn't race with data=ordered writes.  This
      still has a pending fix to redirty the page when it finds a locked buffer. 
      Waiting for Andrew to finish sorting that out on ext3 first.

      [PATCH] reiserfs: tail repacking fix · fb1b3b04
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Chris Mason <mason@suse.com>
      
      Repacking a tail might leave a journal handle attached to an unmapped buffer.
       If that buffer gets dirtied again (via mmap for example), the reiserfs
      data=ordered code might try to write the dirty unmapped buffer to disk.
      
      The fix is to make sure we remove the journal handle when we unmap buffers.

      [PATCH] reiserfs: logging rework · 7c563ced
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Chris Mason <mason@suse.com>
      
      reiserfs logging rework, making things much faster for small transactions. 
      metadata buffers are dirtied when they are safe to write, so normal kernel
      mechanisms can contribute to log cleaning.

      [PATCH] Fix ext3 transaction batching · 545b0840
      Andrew Morton authored
      ext3 transaction batching has been ineffective since the scheduler changes
      forced us to replace the yield() with a schedule().
      
      Using schedule_timeout(1) fixes it up again.  Benchmarking is positive with
      wither a 1 or 10 millisecond delay in there, so there appears to be no need
      to play around with HZ.

      [PATCH] Non-Exec stack support · 01cc53b2
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Kurt Garloff <garloff@suse.de>
      
      A patch to parse the elf binaries for a PT_GNU_STACK section to set the stack
      non-executable if possible.  Most parts have been shamelessly stolen from
      Ingo Molnar's more ambitious stackshield
      http://people.redhat.com/mingo/exec-shield/exec-shield-2.6.4-C9
      
      The toolchain has meanwhile support for marking the binaries with a
      PT_GNU_STACK section wwithout x bit as needed.
      
      If no such section is found, we leave the stack to whatever the arch defaults
      to.  If there is one, we explicitly disabled the VM_EXEC bit if no x bit is
      found, otherwise explicitly enable.

      [PATCH] Fix 32bit statfs on NFS · 678736c9
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Olaf Kirch <okir@suse.de>
      
      The attached patch fixes a problem with the 32bit statfs call on NFS file
      systems.  Some NFS servers return a value of -1 for the f_files and f_ffree.
      The current code would think this is a 64bit value that cannot be converted
      to 32bits.  Consequently, the system call would always fail.
      
      The patch adds two special if() to detect a value of -1 for f_files and
      f_ffree.

      [PATCH] v4l: bttv driver update · 2b12289c
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Gerd Knorr <kraxel@bytesex.org>
      
      This patch updates the bttv driver.  Changes:
      
        (1) several card-specific tweaks.
        (2) make software vs. hardware i2c configurable per TV card.
        (3) reinitialize image parameters after chip reset.
        (4) make bttv quite by default on frame drops.
        (5) new insmod option: "debug_latency=1" to enable frame drop
            debug messages.
      
      bttv is quite sensitive to irq latencies, especially when capturing both
      video and vbi.  There are several reports about problems due to this, I don't
      see that on my machines through.  (5) dumps a stracktrace if the driver
      thinks the frame drop is is caused by high latencies as experiment, lets see
      whenever that helps ...

      Some NFS clients respond badly to a TCP connection being reset immediately
      after it has been accepted so:
      
      - Accept more connections before starting to drop them
      
      - Always drop the oldest connection - Random Early Drop doesn't really help
        here, and can hurt
      
      - ratelimit the friendly warnings.

      [PATCH] ppc64: NUMA fix for 16MB LMBs · 4c886627
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Olof Johansson <olof@austin.ibm.com>
      
      As discussed on the ppc64 list yesterday and today:
      
      On some ppc64 systems, Open Firmware will give memory device nodes that are
      only 16MB in size, instead of the 256MB that our NUMA code currently
      expects (see MEMORY_INCREMENT in mmzone.h).
      
      Just changing the defines from 256MB to 16MB makes the table blow up from
      32KB to 512KB, so this patch also makes it dynamically allocated based on
      actual memory size.  Since all this is done before (well, during) bootmem
      init so we need to use lmb_alloc().
      
      Finally, there's no need to use a full int for node ID. Current max is 16
      nodes, so a signed char still leaves plenty of room to grow.
