[PATCH 3/3] vmscan: Put kswapd to sleep on its own waitqueue, not congestion
If kswapd is raising its priority to get the zone over the high watermark, it may call congestion_wait() ostensibly to allow congestion to clear. However, there is no guarantee that the queue is congested at this point because it depends on kswapds previous actions as well as the rest of the system. Kswapd could si... 8 Mar 2010 07:29

pcmcia's use of IRQ_NOAUTOEN
Commit 635416ef393e8cec5a89fc6c1de710ee9596a51e introduced this, but I can't see how it can take effect - the argument passed to request_irq() only affects action->flags (IRQF_*), whereas the flag in question is a desc->status one (IRQ_*). Am I overlooking something? If not, while currently this just should not wor... 15 Mar 2010 14:37
