[net-next-2.6 PATCH 2/2] x86: Align skb w/ start of cache line on newer core 2/Xeon Arch
From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck(a)intel.com> x86 architectures can handle unaligned accesses in hardware, and it has been shown that unaligned DMA accesses can be expensive on Nehalem architectures. As such we should overwrite NET_IP_ALIGN and NET_SKB_PAD to resolve this issue. Signed-off-by: Alexander... 2 Jun 2010 18:42

[PATCH] task_io_accounting, taskstats
Hello, I'm proposing this patch to extend taskstats capability of IO_ACCOUTING based on socket msg size. Already discussed with Balbir about it. The idea was to keep the "socket" accounting generic. Not taking in consideration witch type of socket or protocol is used. I'm using this in a user land tool called u... 2 Jun 2010 18:42

[PATCH 9/11] x86, UV: correct BAU regular message type
The Broadcast Assist Unit messages have a regular or retry message type. The regular type was not being set, but needs to be, because the lack of a message type is sometimes used to identify an unused entry in the message queue. Also removing some excess comments.

[PATCH 6/11] x86, UV: correct BAU software acknowledge
Correct the acknowledgment and the reset of a BAU software-acknowledged message. A retry message should be testing only for timed-out resources (mask << 8). (And we delete a log message that might cause unnecessary concern) The acknowledge MMR is |--timed-out--|---pending--|, each is 8 bits. The IPI-driven... 2 Jun 2010 17:36

[PATCH] checkkconfigsymbols.sh: Kconfig symbols sometimes have lowercase letters
Quite a few Kconfig symbols contain lowercase letters. The current checkkconfigsymbols.sh code only contains A-Z in the regexp it uses to find config symbols in source code, so it comes up with the wrong symbol to look for in Kconfig files and then generates false positives when it doesn't find that wrong symbol. ... 2 Jun 2010 17:36
