  • a5453be48   [PATCH] bio_clone fix ... Browse Code »

    Fix bug introduced in 2.6.11-rc2: when we clone a BIO we need to copy over the
    current index into it as well.

    It corrupts data with some MD setups.

    See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4946

    Huuuuuuuuge thanks to Matthew Stapleton for doggedly
    chasing this one down.

  • 6c036527a   [PATCH] mostly_read data section ... Browse Code »

    Add a new section called ".data.read_mostly" for data items that are read
    frequently and rarely written to like cpumaps etc.

    If these maps are placed in the .data section then these frequenly read
    items may end up in cachelines with data is is frequently updated. In that
    case all processors in an SMP system must needlessly reload the cachelines
    again and again containing elements of those frequently used variables.

    The ability to share these cachelines will allow each cpu in an SMP system
    to keep local copies of those shared cachelines thereby optimizing
    performance.

    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!
