- CPU scheduler updates.  We're heading into another big round of testing,
  measuring and tuning of the SMP/SMT/NUMA features in the CPU scheduler. 
  Nick and Ingo are driving this - thanks to the people who are working with
  them.  We really need to get this wrapped up.

- A significant number of changes to laptop-mode.  If you're using this,
  please grab the updated startup script from Documentation/laptop-mode.txt.

- A few more tweaks to the page reclaim logic.  Needs careful testing.  I
  have one workload which seems to run faster in laptop mode (minus the
  readahead size increase), which is a little odd.

For those who missed it (because vger was on the blink) (which is probably
everyone), here are the 2.6.5-rc2-mm3 release notes:





ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.5-rc2/2.6.5-rc2-mm3/

- A signal handling race fix which breaks the build on everything except x86
  and ia64.

- Kernel NFS server updates

- CPU scheduler tuning and fixes

- reiserfs update.  This adds ordered-data mode, and makes it the new
  default.  You can select the old default with `mount -o data=writeback'.

You'll need to revert signal-race-fix.patch until the various arch guys
catch up.

I'm not trying to kill partioning (which doesn't exist, btw), it's just
an artifact of flagging the gendisk removable that they don't show up in
/proc/partitions

With the patches that I have just sent, plus adding #include
<linux/types.h> to include/linux/prefetch.h, since it uses size_t, -mm4
compiles and runs on my powerbook (ppc32).  It does, however, freeze
up shortly after waking up from sleep (suspend-to-ram).  I don't know
why.

On ppc64 I got a compile error in arch/ppc64/kernel/eeh.c, because the
-mm4 patch removes a #include <asm/machdep.h> that is needed.  When I
put that back in, it compiles and runs on my G5.  That is with the
include/linux/prefetch.h change and the ppc signal patch that I posted.

Paul.

Hi Andrew,

On a Thinkpad T40p, 2.6.5-rc2-mm4 does not boot successfully,
whereas 2.6.5-rc2 does.  All the typical things (ACPI, CPUFREQ, APIC
& IOAPIC, etc.) are built in.  The -mm4 kernel config was derived
from the working config for 2.6.5-rc2.  

I have to pass the nolapic kernel option to disable the local APIC
in order to successfully boot 2.6.x kernels.  It appears that with
2.6.5-rc2-mm4, this option is ignored, or perhaps there's a ordering
issue with when it is checked.  With -mm4, a message saying that it
is enabling the local APIC appears _before_ the "Kernel command
line: ... nolapic" line appears.

Without the -mm4 patch, the nolapic command line option is parsed
before it would have tried to reenable the local APIC.  With -mm4,
it is parsed after it tries to renable it.  Boom, and then it locks
on "Calibrating delay loop...".

Any relevant config options I should try with/without to help narrow
it down?

Thanks,
