We need this small change to drivers/scsi/Config.in. It only affects people using powermacs since the MESH hardware only exists on powermacs and clones.

Update my email address and fix an ancient miscalculation. One could argue that this driver should just be removed. I sent these changes to the maintainer a few years ago and got no reply.

For 2.5 Gerd Knorr is the video4linux/v4l2 maintainer not me kraxel@bytesex.org or the list video4linux-list@redhat.com - which is hosted at but not an RH specific list.

This makes the CONFIG_VIDEO_PROC_FS question depend on CONFIG_PROC_FS. Additionally, this changes all tests/comments about CONFIG_PROC_FS && CONFIG_VIDEO_PROC_FS to be just CONFIG_VIDEO_PROC_FS.

Here are a couple of patches for files in include/asm-i386. Patches are against 2.5.31.

<linux/config.h> has the normal idempotent construction. The attached file removes the second #include.

Silence hotplug printk()s in input.c More careful probe and init in atkbd.c and psmouse.c to avoid triggering bugs in certain keyboards. Accept old AT (non PS/2) keyboards with limited command set. Accept Logitech mice which can only do IMPS/2 and not PS2++. Use a buffer in i8042.c to avoid spinlock deadlocks when serio_write is called from within serio_interrupt. Only ask keyboard to resent if the keyboard is there (ie no timeout). Linus, this should fix both your keyboard and your mouse!

buffers via usb_buffer_alloc in 2.5.x This helps platforms where doing a pci_{map,unmap}_single() on every input event is very inefficient. Also adds a missing kfree(hid), because the HID struct was never freed.

Use the new max cache alignment to optimise the layout of struct zone. struct zone goes from ~270 bytes (UP) to 768 bytes (SMP, x86). This is not a trick which should be generally used.

zone->lock and zone->lru_lock are two of the hottest locks in the kernel. Their usage patterns are quite independent. And they have just been put into the same structure. It is essential that they not fall into the same cacheline. That could be fixed by padding with L1_CACHE_BYTES. But the problem with this is that a kernel which was configured for (say) a PIII will perform poorly on SMP PIV. This will cause problems for kernel vendors. For example, RH currently ship PII and Athlon binaries. To get best SMP performance they will end up needing to ship a lot of differently configured kernels. To solve this we need to know, at compile time, the maximum L1 size which this kernel will ever run on. This patch adds L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX to every architecture's cache.h. Of course it'll break when newer chips come out with increased cacheline sizes. Better suggestions are welcome.

Now the LRUs are per-zone, make their lock per-zone as well. In this patch the per-zone lock shares a cacheline with the zone's buddy list lock, which is very bad. Some groundwork is needed to fix this well. This change is expected to be a significant win on NUMA, where most page allocation comes from the local node's zones. For NUMA the `struct zone' itself should really be placed in that node's memory, which is something the platform owners should look at. However the internode cache will help here. Per-node kswapd would make heaps of sense too.

Replace the global page LRUs with per-zone LRUs. This fixes the failure described at http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-mm/2002-08/msg00049.html It will also fixes the problem wherein a search for a reclaimable ZONE_NORMAL page will undesirably move aged ZONE_HIGHMEM pages to the head of the inactive list. (I haven't tried to measure any benefit from this aspect). It will also reduces the amount of CPU spent scanning pages in page reclaim. I haven't instrumented this either. This is a minimal conversion - the aging and reclaim logic is left unchanged, as far as is possible. I was bitten by the "incremental min" logic in __alloc_pages again. There's a state in which the sum-of-mins exceeds zone->pages_high. So we call into try_to_free_pages(), which does nothing at all (all zones have free_pages > pages_high). The incremental min is unchanged and the VM locks up. This was fixed in __alloc_pages: if zone->free_pages is greater than zone->pages_high then just go and grab a page.

- Remove the zonelist_t typedef. Rename struct zonelist_struct to struct zonelist and use that everywhere. - Remove the zone_t typedef. Rename struct zone_struct to struct zone and use that everywhere.

Don't align the buffer_head slab on hardware cacheline boundaries. It's on the wrong side of the speed/space tradeoff, especially for P4's.
