2006-03-22[PATCH] mm: less atomic opsNick Piggin
In the page release paths, we can be sure that nobody will mess with our page->flags because the refcount has dropped to 0. So no need for atomic operations here.

2006-03-22[PATCH] mm: never ClearPageLRU released pagesNick Piggin
If vmscan finds a zero refcount page on the lru list, never ClearPageLRU it. This means the release code need not hold ->lru_lock to stabilise PageLRU, so that lock may be skipped entirely when releasing !PageLRU pages (because we know PageLRU won't have been temporarily cleared by vmscan, which was previously guaranteed by holding the lock to synchronise against vmscan).

2006-03-22[PATCH] dcdbas: convert to the new platform device interfaceDmitry Torokhov
Do not use platform_device_register_simple() as it is going away, define dcdbas_driver and implement ->probe() and ->remove() functions so manual binding and unbinding will work with this driver. Also switch to using attribute_group when creating sysfs attributes and make sure to check and handle errors; explicitely remove attributes when detaching driver.

2006-03-22[PATCH] __get_page_state() cpumask cleanup and fixAndrew Morton
__get_page_state() has an open-coded for_each_cpu_mask() loop in it. Tidy that up, then notice that the code was buggy: while (cpu < NR_CPUS) { unsigned long *in, *out, off; if (!cpu_isset(cpu, *cpumask)) continue; an obvious infinite loop. I guess we just never call it with a holey cpu mask.

2006-03-22[PATCH] v9fs: assign dentry ops to negative dentriesLatchesar Ionkov
If a file is not found in v9fs_vfs_lookup, the function creates negative dentry, but doesn't assign any dentry ops. This leaves the negative entry in the cache (there is no d_delete to mark it for removal). If the file is created outside of the mounted v9fs filesystem, the file shows up in the directory with weird permissions. This patch assigns the default v9fs dentry ops to the negative dentry.

2006-03-22[PATCH] sched: remove sleep_avg multiplierMike Galbraith
Remove the sleep_avg multiplier. This multiplier was necessary back when we had 10 seconds of dynamic range in sleep_avg, but now that we only have one second, it causes that one second to be compressed down to 100ms in some cases. This is particularly noticeable when compiling a kernel in a slow NFS mount, and I believe it to be a very likely candidate for other recently reported network related interactivity problems. In testing, I can detect no negative impact of this removal.

2006-03-21[PATCH] smc91x: allow for dynamic bus access configsNicolas Pitre
All accessor's different methods are now selected with C code and unused ones statically optimized away at compile time instead of being selected with #if's and #ifdef's. This has many advantages such as allowing the compiler to validate the syntax of the whole code, making it cleaner and easier to understand, and ultimately allowing people to define configuration symbols in terms of variables if they really want to dynamically support multiple bus configurations at the same time (with the unavoidable performance cost).
