Kernel

Sound goes too fast due to commit 7b3a177b0
Hello, I have a similar problem with hda-intel ALC883 since kernel 2.6.33 (problems are identical with kernel 2.6.34). There are quick short gaps with the default options. In turn, bdl_pos_adj=0 results in fast sound as reported here. position_fix=1 does not fix it. The card worked fine with previous kernels. ... 18 Jun 2010 12:26

TCP stream performance regression due to c377411f2494a931ff7facdbb3a6839b1266bcf6
More info about the testing: It's a loopback testing. We start one client netperf process to communicate with netserver process in a stream TCP testing. To reduce the cpu cache effect, we bind the 2 processes on 2 different physical cpus. #taskset -c 0 ./netserver #taskset -c 15 ./netperf -t TCP_STREAM -l 60 -H 127.... 18 Jun 2010 04:47

[PATCH V2] tracing, function graph: Remove the noisy output when use function graph filter
If we use function graph filter(echo some_functions >> set_graph_function) we are only interested in the graph of some_functions. But if a interrupt occurs when these functions are being traced(or preparing), the graphs of the handlers of this interrupt are also recorded. These events that we aren't interested in... 18 Jun 2010 04:47

[PATCH] fbdev: section cleanup in efifb
This patch removes 43 section mismatches by moving the two structures efifb_defined and efifb_fix from .init.data to .devinit.data. Also the two structure arrays dmi_system_table[] and dmi_list[] have been moved from .data to .init.rodata and .init.data, which saves, if built-in, some space. On x86_64 'size -... 18 Jun 2010 04:47

[PATCH 1/1] kmemleak: Fix false positive with alias
There is a false positive case that a pointer is calculated by other methods than the usual container_of macro. "kmemleak_ignore" can cover such a false positive, but it would loose the advantage of memory leak detection. This patch allows kmemleak to work with such false positives by aliasing of address. A client ... 18 Jun 2010 02:38
