Presumably it is there just in case you print them out with lpr instead of enscript, or if your editor doesn't tell you the filename. -hpa -

Since the x86 merge, lots of files that referenced their own filenames are no longer correct. Rather than keep them up to date, just delete them, as they add no real value. Additionally: - fix up comment formatting in scx200_32.c - Remove a credit from myself in setup_64.c from a time when we had no SCM - remove longwinded history from tsc_32.c which can be figured out from git.

The current code runs the balance_rt_tasks() on every _schedule() once the system enters an overload state. Now that we have better distribution on the push side, we can reduce the conditions that require us to pull tasks. They are as follows: At the time of a _schedule(), if our priority is staying the same or going logically higher between _prev_ and _next_ we can skip trying to balance tasks because any tasks that were runnable by our queue have already been pushed to us. However, if our prio...

There are three events that require consideration for redistributing RT tasks: 1) When one or more higher-priority tasks preempts a lower-one from a RQ 2) When a lower-priority task is woken up on a RQ 3) When a RQ downgrades its current priority Steve Rostedt's push_rt patch addresses (1). It hooks in right after a new task has been switched-in. If this was the result of an RT preemption, or if more than one task was awoken at the same time, we can try to push some of those other tasks aw...

The system currently evaluates all online CPUs whenever one or more enters an rt_overload condition. This suffers from scalability limitations as the # of online CPUs increases.

The hiddev driver currently lacks 32bit ioctl compatibility, so if you're running with a 64bit kernel and 32bit userspace, it won't work. I'm pretty sure that the only thing missing is a compat_ioctl implementation as all structs have fixed size fields. With this change I can use revoco to configure my MX Revolution mouse.

This fix corrects the problem that early_identify_cpu() sets cpu_index to '0' (needed when called by setup_arch) after smp_store_cpu_info() had set it to the correct value. Thanks to Suresh for discovering this problem. -- -

Here are a some PCI patches against your 2.6.23 git tree. Nothing major here, just a number of bugfixes and updates and new quirks. See the shortlog below for details. All of these have been in the -mm tree for a while. Please pull from: master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/pci-2.6.git/ The full patches will be sent to the linux-pci mailing list, if anyone wants to see them. thanks, greg k-h Documentation/DMA-API.txt | 3 + Documentation/MSI-HOWTO.txt...

Through the magic of greylisting (thanks vger) and IRC, I've just had a chat with Arjan and GregKH about this stuff. So, just to follow up for people interested in watching me talk to myself: - while an LSM must be compiled in, they are not mutually exclusive, and the desired module can be selected at boot-time. As such, I don't have any strong objections. It'd be nice for folks doing LSM development to allow for a way for it to be modular, but I'll let them fight for that. :) Sorry for...

Due to historical reasons, struct kobject contained a static array for the name, and a dynamic pointer in case the name got bigger than the array. That's just dumb, as people didn't always know which variable to reference, even with the accessor for the kobject name. This patch removes the static array, potentially saving a lot of memory as the majority of kobjects do not have a very long name. Thanks to Kay for the idea to do this.
