Hey, I lied. -rc5 wasn't the last RC, I wanted to make one more, because
we've had enough small changes that I wasn't comfortable _not_ doing one
more RC.
Now, most of them are really quite trivial, and the shortlog and diffstat
is appended. Some s390 and MIPS changes, but also, for example, some cfq
IO scheduler locking and fairness fixes, and a SATA resume fix that is
reported to fix resume on at least a couple of machines.

Hi,
We still experience the NFS client slow down reported by Jakob
Østergaard in http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/3/31/82, even with 2.6.17-rc6.
Trond Myklebust have created a patch which we have verified solves this
problem for 2.6.16, 2.6.17-rc4 and 2.6.17-rc6. The patch is available
from http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/4/24/320, and as an attachment to
bugzilla bug 6557.

The patch is already queued up for inclusion in 2.6.18. I'm not planning
on submitting it for 2.6.17 since it is not a critical bug.

Moin.
Without alpha-generic-hweight-build-fix.patch 2.6.17-rc6 does not compile

I guess that depends on how much it slows down and how much you depend
on the speed of NFS. I have all of my machines sharing some local
binaries and docs, but the files are typically small and the network is
gigE, so I doubt it will hurt me. On the other hand I do know people
running workstations with virtually everything NFS mounted, working with
large image files.
The initial bug report makes it look as if it's about two orders of
magnitude slower, but doesn't quantify the effect on more common
sequential access operations.
If this becomes an issue in 2.6.17, I hope it will show up in -stable
before 2.6.18, the current development cycle is a bit, um, protracted...
lately.

Obscure bug of 2004: BASH BUFFER OVERFLOW - if bash is being run by a
normal user and is setuid root, with the "vi" line edit mode selected,
and the character set is "big5," an off-by-one errors occurs during
wildcard (glob) expansion.

Thank you. This works on my IBM X60s with Centrino Duo. Pure vanilla
2.6.17-rc6, no other patches necessary.
Works with ata-piix, but not ahci.
Jeff.

It hurts writing, not reading. And only certain cases of writing.
But when it hurts it hurts quite a bit; slowdown is 10-20 times and gigE
most likely won't matter.

Sequential read and write seems to be fine. At least from my testing.
This was what made this so weird; normal testing with dd or bonnie etc.
showed all was fine. But link jobs over NFS were unreasonably slow.
Turned out you needed a somewhat special read/write pattern (similar to
ld) to trigger the slowdown.
So I guess it's probably mostly people who do development over NFS who
are hurt - and then only those who produce rather large executables.

Same for me on a thinkpad t60. Works in compatability mode, not not in
AHCI.
