[PATCH] kjournald keeps reference to namespace

2006-02-21T04:27:38Z

In daemonize() a new thread gets cleaned up and 'merged' with init_task. The current fs_struct is handled there, but not the current namespace. This adds the namespace part. [ Eric Biederman pointed out the namespace wrappers, and also notes that we can't ever count on using our parents namespace because we already have called exit_fs(), which is the only way to the namespace from a process. ] Signed-off-by: Björn Steinbrink Acked-by: Eric Biederman Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Unlinline a bunch of other functions

2006-01-15T02:27:06Z

Remove the "inline" keyword from a bunch of big functions in the kernel with the goal of shrinking it by 30kb to 40kb Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Acked-by: Jeff Garzik Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] sched: add new SCHED_BATCH policy

2006-01-15T02:25:20Z

Add a new SCHED_BATCH (3) scheduling policy: such tasks are presumed CPU-intensive, and will acquire a constant +5 priority level penalty. Such policy is nice for workloads that are non-interactive, but which do not want to give up their nice levels. The policy is also useful for workloads that want a deterministic scheduling policy without interactivity causing extra preemptions (between that workload's tasks).

[PATCH] move capable() to capability.h

2006-01-12T02:42:13Z

- Move capable() from sched.h to capability.h; - Use where capable() is used (in include/, block/, ipc/, kernel/, a few drivers/, mm/, security/, & sound/; many more drivers/ to go) Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Decrease number of pointer derefs in exit.c

2006-01-10T16:02:01Z

Decrease the number of pointer derefs in kernel/exit.c Benefits of the patch: - Fewer pointer dereferences should make the code slightly faster. - Size of generated code is smaller - improved readability Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl Acked-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] hrtimer: switch itimers to hrtimer

2006-01-10T16:01:38Z

switch itimers to a hrtimers-based implementation Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] mutex subsystem, more debugging code

2006-01-09T23:59:21Z

more mutex debugging: check for held locks during memory freeing, task exit, enable sysrq printouts, etc. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven

[PATCH] setpgid: should work for sub-threads

2006-01-09T04:14:01Z

setsid() does not work unless the calling process is a thread_group_leader(). 'man setpgid' does not tell anything about that, so I consider this behaviour is a bug. Signed-off-by: Oren Laadan Cc: Oleg Nesterov Cc: Roland McGrath Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] little do_group_exit() cleanup

2006-01-09T04:13:55Z

zap_other_threads() sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT at the very start, do_group_exit() doesn't need to do it. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] RCU signal handling

2006-01-09T04:13:40Z

RCU tasklist_lock and RCU signal handling: send signals RCU-read-locked instead of tasklist_lock read-locked. This is a scalability improvement on SMP and a preemption-latency improvement under PREEMPT_RCU. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
