[PATCH] hid-input: Use a larger event buffer for MT devices
The MT devices produce a lot of data. Tell the underlying input device approximately how many events will be sent per synchronization, to allow for better buffering. The number is a template based on continuously reporting details for each finger on a single hand. Signed-off-by: Henrik Rydberg <rydberg(a)euromail.s... 14 Jun 2010 08:25

A blocking, synchronous GET_REPORT transfer was easy when I implemented this for USB because data is both sent and received as part of a single control transfer.

[PATCH] x86: add power_end event to process_*.c cpu_idle routine
From: Robert Schöne <robert.schoene(a)tu-dresden.de> Systems using the idle thread from process_32.c and process_64.c do not generate power_end events which could be traced using perf.

[PATCH 01/12] tracing, vmscan: Add trace events for kswapd wakeup, sleeping and direct reclaim
This patch adds two trace events for kswapd waking up and going asleep for the purposes of tracking kswapd activity and two trace events for direct reclaim beginning and ending. The information can be used to work out how much time a process or the system is spending on the reclamation of pages and in the case of d... 14 Jun 2010 08:25

[PATCH 09/12] vmscan: Setup pagevec as late as possible in shrink_page_list()
shrink_page_list() sets up a pagevec to release pages as according as they are free. It uses significant amounts of stack on the pagevec. This patch adds pages to be freed via pagevec to a linked list which is then freed en-masse at the end. This avoids using stack in the main path that potentially calls writepage(... 14 Jun 2010 08:25

[PATCH 10/12] vmscan: Update isolated page counters outside of main path in shrink_inactive_list()
When shrink_inactive_list() isolates pages, it updates a number of counters using temporary variables to gather them. These consume stack and it's in the main path that calls ->writepage(). This patch moves the accounting updates outside of the main path to reduce stack usage. Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mel(a)csn.u... 14 Jun 2010 08:25
