[RFC][PATCH 4/7][memcg] memcg use ID in page_cgroup
From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu(a)jp.fujitsu.com> Now, addresses of memory cgroup can be calculated by their ID without complex. This patch relplaces pc->mem_cgroup from a pointer to a unsigned short. On 64bit architecture, this offers us more 6bytes room per page_cgroup. Use 2bytes for blkio-cgroup's page... 27 Jul 2010 05:09

[RFC][PATCH 7/7][memcg] use spin lock instead of bit_spin_lock in page_cgroup
From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu(a)jp.fujitsu.com> This patch replaces page_cgroup's bit_spinlock with spinlock.

ixgbe->bonding->vlan->bridge->ebtables&iptables causes memory corruption
Hi, I have a rather interesting network setup here. First I have a dual 10Gbit ixgbe ethernet card, being bonded into one link, on which we run a number of vlans, which are bridged with various virtual machines. Now, to protect the box itself and the virtual machines I have a set of iptables and ebtables rule... 27 Jul 2010 04:04
