proc: get_nr_threads() doesn't need ->siglock any longer
Acked-by: Roland McGrath <roland(a)redhat.com> I'm not entirely sure about the name, but it's probably fine. There should be some comments somewhere making clear what "nr" or kind of threads this refers to. This is threads created and not yet reaped. It differs from the "threads not yet exited" (signal->live) co... 9 Apr 2010 16:44

make task_struct->signal immutable/refcountable
Acked-by: Roland McGrath <roland(a)redhat.com> but some comments: This patch adds the reference counter, sigcnt, into signal_struct. This reference is owned by task_struct and it is dropped in __put_task_struct(). I'm not thrilled about the field name, but whatever. We now have three atomic counts with subt... 9 Apr 2010 16:44

[PATCH 0/7] The FunctionFS composite function
Hello everyone, *Changes from Previous Version* This is the second version of the FunctionFS patchset. 1. A new wait_event_interruptible_locked() macro (in 6 variants) has been added and used in the f_fs.c instead of an open-coding it. This, again, was suggested by Greg. As a side effect of the... 9 Apr 2010 15:37

[PATCHv2 2/8] fs/timerfd.c: make use of wait_event_interruptible_locked_irq()
This patch modifies the fs/timerfd.c to use the newly created wait_event_interruptible_locked_irq() macro. This replaces an open code implementation with a single macro call.

Chris Mason wrote: shrink_zone on my box isn't 500 bytes, but lets try the easy stuff first. This is against .34, if you have any trouble applying to .32, just add the word noinline after the word static on the function definitions. This makes shrink_zone disappear from my check_stack.pl output. ... 9 Apr 2010 14:30
