It took a bit longer because I first had to make preemption and thread_info

tested for a long time on UP.

I'm not sure what I should describe.  A lot is based on i386 with
a lot of cleanups. I wrote a paper about it for last year's OLS that describes
most of the changes (ftp://ftp.firstfloor.org/pub/ak/x86_64.ps.gz). It is
a bit outdated now, but should give a good overview.

It currently has a completely cut'n'pasted from others+hacked 32bit
emulation. I hope to clean that up in the future by merging the generic
core of this with other 64bit archs.

23 years ago[PATCH] flush_icache_user_range (v2.5.4)
Paul Mackerras [Wed, 13 Feb 2002 04:27:37 +0000 (20:27 -0800)]
[PATCH] flush_icache_user_range (v2.5.4)

The patch below changes access_process_vm to use a new architecture
hook, flush_icache_user_range, instead of flush_icache_page, and adds
a definition of flush_icache_user_range which does the same thing as
flush_icache_page for all architectures except PPC.  (The PPC update
that is in Linus' BK tree already includes a suitable definition of
flush_icache_user_range.)

The reason for doing this is that when flush_icache_page is called
from do_no_page or do_swap_page, I want to be able to do the flush
conditionally, based on the state of the page.  In contrast,
access_process_vm needs to do the flush unconditionally since it has
just modified the page.  In the access_process_vm case it is useful to
have the information about the user address and length that have been
modified since then we can just flush the affected cache lines rather
than the whole page.

This patch should make it easy to improve performance on alpha, since
there (as I understand it) the icache flush is not needed at all in
do_no_page or do_swap_page, but is needed in access_process_vm.  All
that is needed is to make flush_icache_page a noop on alpha.  The
patch below doesn't do this, I'll let the alpha maintainers push that
change if they want.

[PATCH] usb_set_interface: correct toggle reset

this is a patch to prevent usb_set_interface() from erroneously resetting
the toggles for all endpoints instead of only the affected ones from the
requested interface/altsetting. I've also added some missing parentheses
to related macros in usb.h as I prefered not to take special care for
nasty side-effects ;-)

Patch below was created against 2.4.18-pre9 (with some lines of offset it
applies to 2.5.4-pre5 as well).

Tested in multi-interface configuration to provide evidence it:
* correctly identifies the affected endpoints and resets the toggles
* doesn't touch endpoints from other interfaces
* provides correct handling of shared EP0
* solves an issue I had with 2.4.18-pre9 where setting one interface
  occasionally caused transfers on other interface to hang due to lost
  toggle synchronisation

Despite being a pure bugfix, well localized and (IMHO) pretty obviously
correct wrt. USB-spec, I'd like to suggest including this in early
2.4.19-pre. Just in case some existing driver would somehow workaround
the currently wrong behavior and might break with this fix. And it's
not very urgent right now, as we are probably close to 2.4.18-rc1.

[PATCH] BKL-free ext2_get_block()

Linus, I've got the first of BKL-removal ext2 patches ready to
go.  It removes BKL from ext2_get_block() and guts of ext2_truncate().
The only place where we hold BKL on these paths is in dquot.c - probably
can be easily dealt with, but threading quota is a separate story.

Inode metadata (pointers to blocks, both in inode itself and in
indirect blocks, preallocation data and allocation goal) are protected
by rwlock - EXT2_I(inode)->i_meta_lock.

Next steps will involve threading the group descriptors and bitmaps
handling - lock_super() uses in ext2 are going to die.  However, that's
a separate story - let's do that step-by-step.

I suspect that patch below will take care of almost all BKL contention
from ext2 - we still have BKL held over directory operations, but for regular
files that's it.
