Bligh" To: linux-kernel Subject: 2.5.47-mjb3 (scalability / NUMA patchset) Message-ID: <19270000.1038270642@flay> X-Mailer: Mulberry/2.1.2 (Linux/x86) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I've been maintaining a patchset for internal use on and off for a while, and have decided to publish it externally. It's based on 2.5.47 partly because I'm slow and boring, but also because I don't particularly want anything from 49, and there's some bleeding edge stuff in it I'd rather not cut myself on. 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 other people running large SMP or NUMA boxes. Next additions will probably be timer fixes, moving NUMA-Q to subarch, Summit support, and shared pagetables. http://www.aracnet.com/~fletch/linux/2.5.47/patch-2.5.47-mjb3 kgdb Various People The older version of kgdb, not the shiny new stuff in Andrew's tree. Yes, I'm boring and slow. rcu_stats Dipankar Sarma Gives rcu statistics dcache_rcu Dipankar Sarma Use read copy update locking for the directory entry cache noearlyirq Martin Bligh Don't allow irqs on secondary cpus during IO-APIC init until __cpu_up Else your machine may go belly up on boot. i386_topo Matt Dobson Some i386 topology cleanups to make it cache the data. use_generic_topo Matt Dobson Something to do with tolopology that I forget. numasched1 Erich Focht Numa scheduler general foundation work + pooling numasched2 Michael Hohnbaum Numa scheduler lightweight initial load balancing. local_pgdat Bill Irwin Move the pgdat structure into the remapped space with lmem_map early_printk Dave Hansen et al.
