Only in 2.4.12aa1: 00_backout-2.4.11pre1-1 Only in 2.4.12aa1: 00_o_direct-2 Only in 2.4.13pre2aa1: 00_o_direct-3
Made a self contained patch that applies cleanly to 2.4.13pre2 ready for merging. Many thanks to Janet Morgan for fiding another bug in the blkdev O_DIRECT support.
Only in 2.4.12aa1: 00_cache-without-buffers-1 Only in 2.4.12aa1: 00_parport-fix-1
Just in mainline.
Only in 2.4.13pre2aa1: 00_files_struct_rcu-2.4.10-04-1
File locking read/write spinlock replaced with RCU.
Only in 2.4.13pre2aa1: 00_ordered-freeing-1
Free the pages so that they gets allocated in physical order later, shouldn't matter but I got reports of slower in-core (cache) performance on some arch after a fresh boot, and speedup after the freelist got randomized by load.
Only in 2.4.13pre2aa1: 00_rcu-poll-1
RCU implementation based on latest Dipankar's patch against 2.4.10. I changed it so that it only has as fast-path/reader-load cost a per-cpu counter increment in scheduler and nothing else. It is not arch dependent either. I also tried to optimized the UP case.
Only in 2.4.12aa1: 00_rwsem-fair-22 Only in 2.4.13pre2aa1: 00_rwsem-fair-23
Rediffed.
Only in 2.4.12aa1: 00_rwsem-fair-22-recursive-4 Only in 2.4.13pre2aa1: 00_rwsem-fair-23-recursive-4
Renamed.
Only in 2.4.12aa1: 00_vm-2 Only in 2.4.13pre2aa1: 00_vm-3 Only in 2.4.13pre2aa1: 00_vm-3.1
Further vm changes, backed out the PG_wait_for_IO since it seems not to make a relevant difference. Should behave better under swap load. In particular I'm probing the inactive list from shrink_cache now, so that I get feedback on when it's time to swap before the shrinks on the inactive list starts failing.
Only in 2.4.12aa1: 10_compiler.h-1 Only in 2.4.13pre2aa1: 10_compiler.h-2
Rediffed.
Only in 2.4.13pre2aa1: 10_lvm-snapshot-check-1 Only in 2.4.12aa1: 10_lvm-snapshot-hardsectsize-1 Only in 2.4.13pre2aa1: 10_lvm-snapshot-hardsectsize-2
