Subject2.5.34-mm4

url: http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/2.5/2.5.34/2.5.34-mm4/

Some additional work has been performed on the new, faster
sleep/wakeup facilities.

I have converted TCP/IPV4 over to use the faster wakeups. It would
be appreciated if the people who are interested in (and set up for
testing) high performance networking could test this out. Note
however that there is no benefit to select()/poll(). That's quite
a large change.

So please bear in mind that this code will only help if applications
are generally sleeping in accept(), connect(), etc. At this stage
I'd like to know whether this work is generally something which should be
pursued further - let's be careful that the measurements are not
swamped by select()/poll() wakeups.

The individual patches are:

http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/2.5/2.5.34/2.5.34-mm4/broken-out/wake-speedup.patch
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/2.5/2.5.34/2.5.34-mm4/broken-out/tcp-wakeups.patch

These apply against 2.5.26 and possibly earlier, and testing against
earlier kernels would be valid. Thanks.



Changes have been made to /proc/stat which break top(1) and vmstat(1).
New versions are available at
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/procps-2.5.34-mm4.tar.gz
and newer versions will appear at
http://surriel.com/procps/

+aio-sync-iocb.patch

Ben's AIO patch conflicted with the readv/writev patch. This is
Ben's patch reworked to fit on top of readv-writev.patch

+pagevec_lru_add.patch

Fix a bogon which broke reiserfs4

+taka-writev.patch

Hirokazu Takahashi's writev() speedup.

+vm-wakeups.patch

Use the auto waitqueues in the VM and block layers. Broken out of
the wake-speedup patch.

+per-node-kswapd.patch

David Hansen's per-NUMA-node kswapd patch.

+topology-api.patch

Matthew Dobson's topology API.

+kswapd-reclaim-stats.patch

Add `kswapd_steal' and `pgrefill' to /proc/vmstat. The former indicates
that, on a quick test, 99% of page reclaim is being performed by kswapd.

+iowait.patch

Instrumentation to show how much time is spent in disk wait. (Doesn't
appear to come out in the new top(1) though?)

+tcp-wakeups.patch

Use auto-waitqueues in TCP/IPV4
