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/2.6.0-test2/patch-2.6.0-test2-mjb1.bz2
additional patches that can be applied if desired:
(these three form the qlogic feral driver) ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.5/2.5.72/2.5.72-mm1/broken-out/linux-isp.patch ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.5/2.5.72/2.5.72-mm1/broken-out/isp-update-1.patch ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.5/2.5.72/2.5.72-mm1/broken-out/isp-remove-pci_detect.patch
Since 2.5.74-mjb1 (~ = changed, + = added, - = dropped)
Notes: Just a merge up. Dropped a bunch o' stuff.
Now in Linus' tree: - stacks_from_slab William Lee Irwin Take kernel stacks from the slab cache, not page allocation. - swsusp_state_check Matt Dobson Fix a check in s/w suspend code - node_spanned_pages Dave Hansen Fix up NUMA beancounting
New:
Dropped: - thread_info_cleanup (4K stacks pt 1) Dave Hansen / Ben LaHaise - interrupt_stacks (4K stacks pt 2) Dave Hansen / Ben LaHaise - stack_usage_check (4K stacks pt 3) Dave Hansen / Ben LaHaise - 4k_stack (4K stacks pt 4) Dave Hansen - 4k_stacks_vs_kgdb Dave Hansen (will conflict with 4/4 split)
- fs_aio_1_retry Suparna Bhattacharya - fs_aio_2_read Suparna Bhattacharya - fs_aio_3_write Suparna Bhattacharya - fs_aio_4_down_wq Suparna Bhattacharya - fs_aio_5_wrdown_wq Suparna Bhattacharya - fs_aio_6_bread_wq Suparna Bhattacharya - fs_aio_7_ext2getblk_wq Suparna Bhattacharya - fs_aio_8_down_wq-ppc64 Suparna Bhattacharya - fs_aio_9_down_wq-x86_64 Suparna Bhattacharya (didn't merge cleanly, awaiting update from Suparna).
Pending: 4/4 split list_of_lists Hyperthreaded scheduler (Ingo Molnar) scheduler callers profiling (Anton or Bill Hartner) Child runs first (akpm) Kexec e1000 fixes Update the lost timer ticks code pidmaps_nodepages (Dave Hansen)

mbind_part1 Matt Dobson Bind some memory for NUMA.
mbind_part2 Matt Dobson Bind some more memory for NUMA.
