Nothing particularly exciting here. There are two diffs at the above
site: 2.5.50-mm1.gz is the full patch, and 2.5.50-mm1-shpte.gz is
everything up to `shpte-always-on.patch'. The latter is for Dave to
create diffs against.
Changes since 2.5.49-mm2:
+fbcon-timer-fix.patch
+hugepage-fixes.patch
Random fixes
+ext3-oldalloc.patch
Add the `oldalloc' and `orlov' mount options to ext3.
ext3 has taken a big performance hit in dbench-on-scsi-on-SMP. This
is due to the Orlov allocator triggering a weakness in the ext2/ext3
block allocator design.
For a full analysis and protopatches see
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=1365460&forum_id=6379
Bottom line: we need to strengthen the block allocator. The `oldalloc'
mount option can be used to determine whether any performance regression
is due to this problem. Same deal with ext2, which is also affected.
+dio-return-partial-result.patch
A direct-IO correctness fix.
+deprecate-bdflush.patch
Warn about use of sys_bdflush()
+suppress-write-error-warnings.patch
Suppress some scary warnings due to write I/O errors.
+quota-smp-locks.patch
Jan Kara's quota update - remove BKL, replace with private locking.
+shpte-always-on.patch
Always enable shared pagetables on ia32. If it's merged, it will
be merged in the "always on" state, and it needs the testing.
+sync_fs.patch
+ext3_sync_fs.patch
Fix the ext3 data=journal unmount problem.
+ext3-fsync-speedup.patch
Small tweak to the ext3 fsync() path.
+page-walk-api-bugfix.patch
A bugfix. (Ingo, the page-walk API probably needs updating for
mm/nommu.c)
