- 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'.

Do we still need __ARCH_SI_BAND_T with this one?

Nope, I'll kill that, thanks.

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

Subject: Re: 2.6.5-rc2-mm4

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.

D'oh, sorry. I thought I audited the ppc64 files that looked to be
using <asm/machdep.h> just for cmd_line/COMMAND_LINE_SIZE but missed
the real usage in that one.
