I have been watching this thread with interest for a while now, but am
wondering about the real-world use of this, given the performance penalty
for write()
As I see it there are two basic cases you are saying this will help in.
1. webservers
2. other fileservers
I also freely admit that I don

There is a rare SMP race in brelse:
1138 void __brelse(struct buffer_head * buf)
1139 {
1140 if (atomic_read(&buf->b_count)) {
1141 atomic_dec(&buf->b_count);
1142 return;

Since egcs-1.1.2 and gcc 2.95 miscompile the kernel strstr code dont forget

Good day;
I have been having consistent trouble with the last several kernels; all the
test[9-12], 2.4.0 (all patched with reiser) and the 2.4.1 kernel (unpatched)
seem to do this for me. I have devfs enabled as well, but this seems to happen
with or without devfs. I don't believe it happened

Hi Alan, hi others,
source of problems with matroxfb on G450 was revealed: BIOS forgets
to initialize ZORG (0x1C0C) register, and although matroxfb does not use
it, it must contain reasonable value, as it was proved that otherwise it
does not work...
Patch contains:
1) matroxfb_DAC1064.c: chan

Hi.
This patch tries to fix the potential rss accounting race where we
change mm->rss without holding page_table_lock.
My reasoning for the correctness of the patch below is as follows.
First I cover the lock pairs added by the patch (top to bottom)
and then the places it does not touch.

This is a good example of what is missed by not copying the exact message.
For example, mine says:

Hey folks,
First off, sorry for spamming all the mailing lists, but I want to make
sure that everyone interested in kiobufs, aio and the like sees this.
Since the mass of discussion going on about kiobufs started, I ran a few
tests of the behaviour of various code when reading from a cached ~700m
