Only in 2.4.21pre3aa1: 00_o_direct-align-1 Fix alignment check. Only in 2.4.21pre3aa1: 00_one_highpage_init-cleanup-1 Cleanup from J.A. Magallon backported from 2.5. Only in 2.4.21pre2aa2: 00_semop-timeout-1 Only in 2.4.21pre3aa1: 00_semop-timeout-2 Add ia32 emulation of the syscall to ia64 (forwarded by Andrew). Only in 2.4.21pre3aa1: 00_vmalloc-ltp-crash-1 Fix oops with ltp (still log, doesn't need to be rate limited since it's a privilegied call and printing it is useful for debugging but it doesn't crash). Only in 2.4.21pre3aa1: 05_vm_22_vm-anon-lru-1 SMP scalability feature that increase performance of 20% on some 16-way. VM will be less aware when it's time to start swapping, this may be even better for some DB workload, but it could be a little worse for very small boxes. The first seconds of swap could be less smooth. If you want the VM to always have visibility of anon pages just set this sysctl to 1: /proc/sys/vm/vm_anon_lru. Default is set to zero. After the first swapouts the anon pages will be left into the lru and the behaviour will be equivalent to vm_anon_lru set to 1. Only in 2.4.21pre3aa1: 05_vm_23_per-cpu-pages-1 Add per-cpu-pages in front of the allocator, this brings several dozen points percent to some 16-way too, this along with the vm-anon-lru drops all the global locks in the anonymous memory allocation page fault fast path, and if applied together they nearly doubles performance of very parallel SMP workloads. This patch is based on the original code from Ingo Molnar but the refill/allocation decisions are quite different, and this as well is made to work fine with the per-point-of-view watermarks. Only in 2.4.21pre2aa2: 10_rawio-vary-io-16 Only in 2.4.21pre3aa1: 10_rawio-vary-io-17 Add some exports for modules needing these functionalities. Only in 2.4.21pre2aa2: 93_NUMAQ-8 Only in 2.4.21pre3aa1: 93_NUMAQ-9 Should fix compilation (reported by William Lee Irwin III) Only in 2.4.21pre2aa2: 9985_blk-atomic-aa4 Only in 2.4.21pre3aa1: 9985_blk-atomic-aa5 Remeber to start with blk_elv_seq set to 0 by default (or it can hang with synchronous-rawio followed by async-io-rawio). Only in 2.4.21pre3aa1: 9995_frlock-gettimeofday-1 Added patch from Stephen Hemminger that uses the two sequence numbers to bring total SMP scalability to gettimeofday and implements a frlock framework that can replace read/write locks. This way the fr_write_lock is also fair, and it cannot get starved by the readers (unlike the plain read_lock where we depend on the unfariness to avoid clearing irq in the readers if the writes will never run from irqs). Avoiding starvation of writes make sure not to lose timer ticks (and in turn system time), in particular on numa or big smp. The locking design is the same of the one implemented in the x86-64 vsyscalls, except here the reader is still in kernel so it's still some order of magnitude slower than x86-64, but at least the smp scalability is total and the starvation is gone. This also includes a critical race fix from me to make the code stable, and some porting work from Andreas Schwab.
