Kernel

Fix a huge latency problem in the MTD CFI and LPDDR flash drivers.
Is the MTD mailing list routed to /dev/null? It is very sad that nobody gives my a reply. I ask for a merge for the patch, and if there any reason why not, it would be great to know. Otherwise i can't fix it. So again, please merge the path for the huge latency problem. Am Sonntag, den 18.04.2010, 22:46 ... 28 Apr 2010 10:35

Should calculation of vm.overcommit_ratio be changed?
> might have 4GB RAM and 1GB swap. I don't think you would expect Desktop users to understand or tweak overcommit_ratio, but I also don't think having the distro simply change the default from 50 (to 100 or something else) would cover all the cases well. Sounds like the distribution should be tuning the val... 20 Apr 2010 14:29

[PATCH] hugetlbfs: Kill applications that use MAP_NORESERVE with SIGBUS instead of OOM-killer
Ordinarily, application using hugetlbfs will create mappings with reserves. For shared mappings, these pages are reserved before mmap() returns success and for private mappings, the caller process is guaranteed and a child process that cannot get the pages gets killed with sigbus. An application that uses MAP_NO... 20 Apr 2010 14:29

From: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec(a)gmail.com> Date: Sun, 18 Apr 2010 22:50:10 +0200 The ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter, sysctl and sysrq let one dump every cpu buffers when an oops or panic happens. It's nice when you have few cpus but it may take ages if have many, plus you miss the real orig... 19 Apr 2010 01:12
