irq: rename IRQF_TIMER to IRQF_NO_SUSPEND
On Wed, 28 Jul 2010, Ian Campbell wrote: Continue to provide IRQF_TIMER as an alias to IRQF_NO_SUSPEND since I think it is worth preserving the nice self-documenting name (where it is used appropriately). It also avoid needing to patch all the many users who are using the flag for an actual timer interrup... 29 Jul 2010 05:19

The only major thing that's really missing, and which should help dramatically with the I/O patters is stopping direct writeback from balance_dirty_pages(). I've seen patches frrom Wu and and Jan for this and lots of dis... 3 Aug 2010 11:26
