I've just released 2.6.24-ext4-1. It's basically just a clean up of the
stable patch series, in response to LKML review comments, in preparation
for Linus to pull them into mainline.

Hi Linus,
Please pull from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4.git for_linus
This is the major set of updates meant for 2.6.24 from the ext4 team;
these patches have been baking in -mm for a while. The two major
features included here is the multi-block allocator
also change name_prefix from char pointer to char array.

This patchkit implements support for the 1GB pages of AMD Fam10h CPUs
in the kernel direct mapping.
Change to previous versions:
- Ported to latest change_page_attr
- kexec now works again
- Ported to latest git-x86
- Minor cleanups.
I believe this patchkit is ready for the 2.6.25 merge.
This was a long standing obscure problem in the relocatable kernel. The
AMD GART driver needs to unmap part of the GART in the kernel direct mapping to
prevent cache corruption. With the relocatable kernel it is in theory possible
that the separate kernel text mapping straddles that area too.

The two programs operate entirely differently from each other,
so it may still be worth trying the make_bad_sector utility there.
dd goes through the regular kernel I/O calls,
whereas make_bad_sector sends raw ATA commands

We want to allow different implementations of pci_raw_ops for standard
and extended config space on x86. Rather than clutter generic code with
knowledge of this, we make pci_raw_ops private to x86 and use it to
implement the new raw interface -- raw_pci_read() and raw_pci_write().
PCI x86: always use conf1 to access config space below 256 bytes
Thanks to Loic Prylli <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, who originally proposed
this idea.
Always using legacy configuration mechanism for the legacy config space
and extended mechanism (mmconf) for the extended config space is

Must have slipped somehow. Patch needs to be applied after the rcu fix.

Patch looks good.
If BIOS does not report HPET on more of such systems we may have to add
other chipsets in ICH9 family (ICH9_8, ...) as well.

Hi Ingo,
Here's a followup set from that last batch of patches:
1. fix up the pgd_ctor merge, so that non-PAE will end up getting
kernel mappings
2. revert "optimise-pud_clear-cr3-reload"
3. only do a cr3 reload if pud_clear is being used on the active pagetable
4. update documentation
Remove bogus reference to "Pentium-II erratum A13" and point to the
actual canonical source of information about what requirements x86
processors have for PAE pagetable updates.

Rather than unconditionally reloading cr3, only do so if the pud we're
updating is within the active pgd.
This eliminates TLB flushes most of the time. The
performance-critical uses of pud_clear are during execve and exit, but
in those cases cr3 is referring to some other pagetable. The only
