[PATCH 15/39] lmb: Add lmb_find_area_node()
It can be used to find NODE_DATA for numa. Need to make sure early_node_map[] is filled before it is called, otherwise it will fallback to lmb_find_area(), with node range.

[PATCH 09/39] bootmem, x86: Add weak version of reserve_bootmem_generic
It will be used lmb_to_bootmem converting It is an wrapper for reserve_bootmem, and x86 64bit is using special one. Also clean up that version for x86_64. We don't need to take care of numa path for that, bootmem can handle it how Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai(a)kernel.org> --- arch/x86/mm/init_32.c | ... 9 Apr 2010 02:21

powerpc: Add rcu_read_lock() to gup_fast() implementation
It's not wrong per se, but the entire powerpc memory management code does the IRQ disabling for its pagetable RCU code. So I think it would be better to do the whole thing in one go. I don't think Paul will surprise-break powerpc :) It's up to Ben really, though. On Thu, Apr 08, 2010 at 09:17:38PM +0200, P... 18 Apr 2010 15:17

[PATCH] cfq-iosched: Fix the incorrect timeslice accounting with forced_dispatch.
When CFQ dispatches requests forcefully due to a barrier or changing iosched, it runs through all cfqq's dispatching requests and then expires each queue. However, it does not activate a cfqq before flushing its IOs resulting in using stale values for computing slice_used. This patch fixes it by calling activate qu... 8 Apr 2010 23:03
