I've sifted out all the things which I intend to send to the boss soon. It would be good if you could perform some quick non-ia32 testing please. Possible breakage would be in the new frlock-for-xtime_lock code and the get_order() cleanup. The frlock code is showing nice speedups, but I think the main reason we want this is to fix the problem wherein an application spinning on gettimeofday() can make time stop.
Checks out OK on ppc64 bar some problems with the get_order patch. (should include linux/bitops.h instead of asm/bitops.h). It passed some stress tests (sdet, tpc-h) Anton -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
