Certain things are still being worked on which are commanding my attention above the details of merge to current. In order to boot, back out changes from pgcl-2.5.66 to mm/bootmem.c and mm/page_alloc.c; proper fixups for the recent bootmem.c and page_alloc.c changes that came from mainline are still being worked on. Some simple asm-i386/pci.h pci_dac_dma_to_page() and pci_dac_dma_to_offset() fixes are also pending, which are the usual substitutions. TODO (in no particular order): (1) merge the asm-i386/pci.h fixes (2) fix up the bootmem stuff so current works (3) fix up the memmap_init() stuff so current works (4) PAGE_SIZE -align pkmap and kmap portions of fixmapspace to remove core dependencies on FIX_KMAP_END for aligning addresses. (5) debug the scatter/gather kmapping calls for COW and anon pages to reduce internal fragmentation of pagecache (6) find the problem with ext2 and 64KB PAGE_SIZE (7) fix q->max_sectors < PAGE_SIZE (8) audit the rest of drivers/ As usual, available from: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/wli/vm/pgcl/ Results: $ cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 65949952 kB MemFree: 65840448 kB Buffers: 5472 kB Cached: 15328 kB SwapCached: 0 kB Active: 37536 kB Inactive: 12864 kB HighTotal: 65198080 kB HighFree: 65131968 kB LowTotal: 751872 kB LowFree: 708480 kB SwapTotal: 0 kB SwapFree: 0 kB Dirty: 0 kB Writeback: 0 kB Mapped: 24320 kB Slab: 13216 kB Committed_AS: 7164 kB PageTables: 2304 kB VmallocTotal: 131080 kB VmallocUsed: 4552 kB VmallocChunk: 126528 kB HugePages_Total: 0 HugePages_Free: 0 Hugepagesize: 2048 kB LowFree remains above 700MB, as compared to under 200MB on mainline.
