      [PATCH] PPC32: Fix copy prefetch on non coherent PPCs · 1c4a7135
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Matt Porter <mporter@kernel.crashing.org>
      
      This patch fixes the condition where prefetching cache lines beyond a
      buffer can cause data corruption on non cache coherent PPCs.  It is a port
      of the version that went into 2.4.  From Eugene Surovegin
      <ebs@ebshome.net>.

      [PATCH] PPC32: Fix __flush_dcache_icache_phys() for Book E · 4bab667f
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Matt Porter <mporter@kernel.crashing.org>
      
      This patch implements/uses __flush_dcache_icache_page() which kmaps on a
      Book E part, but keeps the existing behavior on other PowerPCs which can
      disable the MMU.

      [PATCH] export clear_pages on ppc32 · 239adc58
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Olaf Hering <olh@suse.de>
      
      ext3 as module is not possible in 2.6.6, clear_pages, called from clear_page,
      is not exported.
      
      Also, unexport clear_page(), which is an inline.

      [PATCH] befs: inode->i_flags thinko fix · a710c387
      Andrew Morton authored
      Jorn Engel <joern@wohnheim.fh-wedel.de>
      
      inode->i_flags should never contain fs-specific flags.  In fact, it doesn't;
      the checks against it cause "chattr +T" to be useless for ext[23].  Same bug
      was in befs as well.

      [PATCH] befs: microoptimisation, use befs_bread() instead of befs_bread_iaddr() · 4286d673
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: "Sergey S. Kostyliov" <rathamahata@php4.ru>
      
      We already have block number (inode->i_ino), so there is no need to calculate
      it from befs_block_run before sb_bread() call (this is what befs_bread_iaddr()
      do).

      [PATCH] Add del_single_shot_timer() · 1b9407d7
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Geoff Gustafson <geoff@linux.jf.intel.com>,
            "Chen, Kenneth W" <kenneth.w.chen@intel.com>,
            Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>,
            me.
      
      The big-SMP guys are seeing high CPU load due to del_timer_sync()'s
      inefficiencies.  The callers are fs/aio.c and schedule_timeout().
      
      We note that neither of these callers' timer handlers actually re-add the
      timer - they are single-shot.
      
      So we don't need all that complexity in del_timer_sync() - we can just run
      del_timer() and if that worked we know the timer is dead.
      
      Add del_single_shot_timer(), export it to modules and use it in AIO and
      schedule_timeout().
      
      
      (these numbers are for an earlier patch, but they'll be close)
      
      Before:             32p     4p
           Warm cache   29,000    505
           Cold cache   37,800   1220
      
      After:              32p     4p
           Warm cache       95     88
           Cold cache    1,800    140
      
      [Measurements are CPU cycles spent in a call to del_timer_sync, the average
      of 1000 calls. 32p is 16-node NUMA, 4p is SMP.]
      
      (I cleaned up a few things and added some commentary)

      [PATCH] more dentry shrinkage · 66ca0978
      Andrew Morton authored
      - d_vfs_flags can be removed - just use d_flags.  All modifications of
        dentry->d_flags are under dentry->d_lock.
      
      On x86 this takes the internal string size up to 40 bytes.  The
      internal/external ratio on my 1.5M files hits 96%.

      [PATCH] dentry d_bucket fix · b7b5563e
      Andrew Morton authored
      The gap between checking d_bucket and sampling d_move_count looks like a bug
      to me.
      
      It feels safer to be checking d_bucket after taking the lock, when we know
      that it is stable.
      
      And it's a little faster to check d_bucket after having checked the hash
      rather than before.

      [PATCH] dentry qstr consolidation · 90b163a4
      Andrew Morton authored
      When dentries are given an external name we currently allocate an entire qstr
      for the external name.
      
      This isn't needed.  We can use the internal qstr and kmalloc only the string
      itself.  This saves 12 bytes from externally-allocated names and 4 bytes from
      the dentry itself.
      
      The saving of 4 bytes from the dentry doesn't actually decrease the dentry's
      storage requirements, but it makes four more bytes available for internal
      names, taking the internal/external ratio from 89% up to 93% on my 1.5M files.
      
      
      Fix:
      
      The qstr consolidation wasn't quite right, because it can cause qstr->len to
      be unstable during lookup lockless traverasl.
      
      Fix that up by taking d_lock earlier in lookup.  This serialises against
      d_move.
      
      Take the lock after comparing the parent and hash to preserve the
      mostly-lockless behaviour.
      
      This obsoletes d_movecount, which is removed.
