Differences with `Kernelver':
o FIXED process stuck in D state. It was shrink_dcache_memory()
that was recalling iput() that was recursing on the lowlevel fs
super_lock().
o final semaphore down_interruptible() race fixes. Unlukily 2.2.2
doesn't include my final fix even if it's really close to be
perfect
o new shrink_mmap() that works on a perfect lru basis and doesn't need
to waste time browsing the mem_map, and mem_map L1 cache aligned in SMP
(o TCP timestamps ts_recent in tescr of syn-ack) merged in 2.2.2
(o do_tty_hangup() SMP races) merged in 2.2.2
o inode cache can't grow over inode-max if you are have not the
CAP_SYSADMIN capabilities.
(o inode leakage fix (syncing back dirty inode when there's noting
of freeable in the inode-inuse list).) merged in 2.2.2
(o fixed kpiod (PF_MEMALLOC) and improved) merged in 2.2.2
o complete /proc race fixes
o improved tqueue.h (better scale in SMP and removed a cli() in
run_task_queue())
o My new update_shared_mappings() code. This will greatly improve
performance while handling shared mmaped files from different contexts.
o irq_state array is PII cache aligned (32byte to decrease bus traffic
under intense irq activities in SMP)
o dynamic buffer hash table size (improvement for high memory
machines, and saved memory for low memory machines)
o final fix for the disable/enable_bh I fixed some weeks ago
This patch fix also a possible not critical race in remove_bh(),
btw note the wmb() to take care of SMP ;).
o 2.2.1-1284-15 latest parport code mainly developed by Tim Waugh
o get_wchan() moved in arch specific section and CTRL+SCROLL-LOCK
use get_wchan() to get the PC filed information.
o fixed page bound limits in get_wchan()
o some jiffies wrap update
o reimplemented hopefully completly wrap compliant time
to jiffies/msec (and reverse) functions
o little vmalloc fix + vmalloc SMP thread safety
o bttv doesn't generate 50 irq per sec even if not used
o sure some other thing from me and/or from other people
