[RFC PATCH 2/2] x86: Prefer TSC Deadline Timer over LAPIC timer
From: Len Brown <len.brown(a)intel.com> The LOCAL APIC on new processors has a mode where its underlying hardware timer can now be accessed via the non-serializing IA32_TSC_DEADLINE_MSR in TSC tick units. If this mode is present, prefer it over the traditional LAPIC timer mode. KERN_DEBUG dmesg will print "TSC... 28 Jul 2010 10:45

[PATCH 1/2] [PATCH] x86: Look for TSC Deadline Timer
From: Len Brown <len.brown(a)intel.com> The new TSC Deadline Timer offers system software a low overhead per-logical-thread deadline timer in TSC units. The timer is implemented via a new architectural 64-bit register, IA32_TSC_DEADLINE_MSR. Reads and writes of this MSR occur in program order, but are non-serial... 28 Jul 2010 10:45

[PATCH] firewire: ohci: release channel in error path
firewire-ohci keeps book of which isochronous channels are occupied by IR DMA contexts, so that there cannot be more than one context listening to a certain channel. If IR context creation failed due to an out-of-memory condition, this bookkeeping leaked a channel. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr(a)s5r6.i... 28 Jul 2010 10:45
