Bligh" cc: linux-kernel Subject: 2.5.59-mjb7 (scalability / NUMA patchset) Message-ID: <6530000.1046113021@[10.10.2.4]> X-Mailer: Mulberry/2.2.1 (Linux/x86) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org The patchset contains mainly scalability and NUMA stuff, and anything else that stops things from irritating me. It's meant to be pretty stable, not so much a testing ground for new stuff. I'd be very interested in feedback from anyone willing to test on any platform, however large or small. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mbligh/2.5.59/patch-2.5.59-mjb 7.bz2 additional: http://www.aracnet.com/~fletch/linux/2.5.59/pidmaps_nodepages Since 2.5.59-mjb6 (~ = changed, + = added, - = dropped) Notes: + fix_was_sched Ingo / wli / Rick Lindsley + kirq Nitin Kamble + kirq_clustered Dave Hansen / Martin J.
