2006-01-18	[PATCH] mm: dirty_exceeded speedup	Andrew Morton	1	-3/+4
	Ravikiran reports that this variable is bouncing all around nodes on NUMA machines, causing measurable performance problems. Fix that up by only writing to it when it actually changed. And put it in a new cacheline to prevent it sharing with other things (this happened).

2006-01-06	identify multipage ->writepages() calls	Andrew Morton	1	-2/+8
	NFS needs to be able to distinguish between single-page ->writepage() calls and multipage ->writepages() calls. For the single-page writepage calls NFS can kick off the I/O within the context of ->writepage(). For multipage ->writepages calls, nfs_writepage() will leave the I/O pending and nfs_writepages() will kick off the I/O when it all has been queued up within NFS.

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+819
	Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
