Regression 2.6.33->2.6.34: OOPS at boot, kmalloc corruption?
Trying to upgrade my system from 2.6.33 to 2.6.34, I can't get it to boot. All tries used CONFIG_SLUB=y The gentoo version of 2.6.34 generated an OOPS during network initialization and then came to a stop. (It seemed that all processes got stuck waiting on some locks.) As in this instance the system was able t... 31 Jul 2010 06:25

[RFC PATCH] x86-64: software IRQ masking and handling
Hello, This is something suggested by Rusty Russell a while ago. It makes IRQ masking a software switch like preemption or softirq enable/disable.

[PATCH 1/2] JBD2: Allow feature checks before journal recovery
Before we start accessing a huge (> 16 TiB) OCFS2 volume, we need to confirm that its journal supports 64-bit offsets. So we need to check the journal's feature bits before recovering the journal. This is not possible with JBD2 at present, because the journal superblock (where the feature bits reside) is not loa... 11 Jul 2010 13:45

[PATCH 2/2] OCFS2: Allow huge (> 16 TiB) volumes to mount
The OCFS2 developers have already done all of the hard work to allow volumes larger than 16 TiB. But there is still a "sanity check" in fs/ocfs2/super.c that prevents the mounting of such volumes, even when the cluster size and journal options would allow it. This patch replaces that sanity check with a more sop... 11 Jul 2010 13:45
