      [PATCH] reduced locking in release_pages() · 12f189a1
      Andrew Morton authored
      From Marcus Alanen <maalanen@ra.abo.fi>
      
      Don't retake the zone lock after spilling a batch of pages into the
      buddy.
      
      Instead, just clear local variable `zone' to indicate that no lock is
      held.
      
      This is actually a common case - whenever release_pages() is called
      with exactly 16 pages (truncate, page reclaim..) Marcus' patch will
      save a lock and an unlock.
      
      Also, remove some lock-avoidance heuristics in
      pagevec_deactivate_inactive(): the caller has already made these
      checks, and the chance of the check here actually doing anything useful
      is negligible.

      [PATCH] misc fixes · e19941e9
      Andrew Morton authored
      - Spell Jeremy's name correctly.
      
      - Fix compile warning in raw.c
      
      - Do a waitqueue_active() test before waking klogd in printk.
      
        Not only is is negligibly faster, but the wake_up() in there causes
        deadlocks when you try to print debug info out from inside scheduler
        code.
      
        This patch gives a delightfully obscure way of avoiding the
        deadlock: kill off klogd.
      
      - Fix a couple of compile warnings in the mtrr code.

      [PATCH] blk_init() cleanups · fc1be578
      Andrew Morton authored
      From Christoph Hellwig, acked by Jens.
      
      - remove some unneeded runtime initializers.
      
      - remove the explicit call to hd_init() - it already goes through
      module_init(), so we're currently running hd_init() twice.

      [PATCH] hugetlbpages cleanup · a7d2851c
      Andrew Morton authored
      From Christoph Hellwig, acked by Rohit.
      
      - fix config.in description: we know we're on i386 and we also know
      that a feature can only be enabled if the hw supports it, the code
      alone is not enough
      
      - the sysctl is VM-releated, so move it from /proc/sys/kernel tp
      /proc/sys/vm
      
      - adopt to standard sysctl names
