[PATCH 0/6] tagged sysfs support
The main short coming of using multiple network namespaces today is that only network devices for the primary network namespaces can be put in the kobject layer and sysfs. This is essentially the earlier version of this patchset that was reviewed before, just now on top of a version of sysfs that doesn't need ... 30 Mar 2010 14:59
[PATCH 5/6] sysfs: Implement sysfs_delete_link
From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm(a)xmission.com> When removing a symlink sysfs_remove_link does not provide enough information to figure out which tagged directory the symlink falls in. So I need sysfs_delete_link which is passed the target of the symlink to delete. sysfs_rename_link is updated to call sysfs_d... 30 Mar 2010 14:59

Linux 2.6.34-rc3
Ok, so -rc2 was messy, no question about it. I'm too much of a softie to hold back some peoples work, so my hard-line -rc1 didn't work out the way I wanted. But _next_ time! For sure this time. Anyway, from a messy -rc2 we now have a -rc3 that should be in much better shape. Regressions fixed, and the ShortL... 4 Apr 2010 00:42

[PATCH -mm] proc: don't take ->siglock for /proc/pid/oom_adj
->siglock is no longer needed to access task->signal, change oom_adjust_read() and oom_adjust_write() to read/write oom_adj lockless. Yes, this means that "echo 2 >oom_adj" and "echo 1 >oom_adj" can race and the second write can win, but I hope this is OK. Also, cleanup the EACCES case a bit. Signed-off-by:... 30 Mar 2010 13:52
[PATCH] increase PREEMPT_BITS to 12 to avoid overflow when starting KVM
Increase the PREEMPT_BITS to 12, to deal with a larger number of locks that can be taken in mm_take_all_locks or other places where many instances of the same type of lock can be taken. The overflow of PREEMPT_BITS should be harmless, since it simply increments the counter into the SOFTIRQ_BITS, and the counter ... 30 Mar 2010 13:52
