The patchset contains mainly scalability and NUMA stuff, and anything else that stops things from irritating me. It's meant to be pretty stable, not so much a testing ground for new stuff.
I'd be very interested in feedback from anyone willing to test on any platform, however large or small.
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mbligh/2.5.69/patch-2.5.69-mjb1.bz2
additional patches that can be applied if desired:
(these two form the qlogic feral driver) ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.5/2.5.67/2.5.67-mm1/broken-out/linux-isp.patch ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.5/2.5.67/2.5.67-mm1/broken-out/isp-update-1.patch
Since 2.5.70-mjb1 (~ = changed, + = added, - = dropped)
Notes: I've left out some shiny new bits people have sent me because there were a few things that were just broken. Fixing those up before piling more on. Various floating fixes merged back into their main elements to make maintaince easier (possible?)
Now in Linus' tree:
New: + numaq_apic_handling Martin J. Bligh Fix numaq code to use phys apic ids + remove_x86_summit Martin J. Bligh remove the magic switch - genarch is better + target_cpus Martin J. Bligh Fix up target cpus mask handling + backout_locking The ghost of patches past dcache_lock-vs-tasklist_lock broke my box. I'm grumpy.
Dropped:
- devfs_fixup The ghost of patches past Some moron fat fingered a merge. OK, OK, so it was me.
