commit 6dccd16b7c2703e8bbf8bca62b5cf248332afbe2 kills r8169 send performance

2007-09-26 Thread Timo Jantunen
Heip! (commit: "r8169: merge with version 6.001.00 of Realtek's r8169 driver") In current 2.6.23-rc8 snapshot r8169 send performance is bad, around 32MB/s. In 2.6.22 it was around 83MB/s. Interestingly, the receive performance has increased from around 85MB/s to 96MB/s at the same time! Git

Heip! I have had few total hangs with 2.6.22.1 kernel. Everything suddenly freezes and nothing works (SysRq keys, pinging the machine from the network.) Neither syslog nor netconsole have any relevant messages. I'm 99% sure this didn't happen in 2.6.21.x kernels. All hangs happened with relati

inotify_rm_watch() EINVAL race condition for deleted files

1. Add IN_DELETE_SELF watch to a file 2. unlink() the file 3. Try to remove the watch -> EINVAL I undestand this happens because there's an IN_IGNORED event in the inotify queue, but couldn't inotify_rm_watch() be silent about it if the event hasn't been read()? Otherwise there's a race condition

If I open a file with O_APPEND and write() to it, it looks like the file offset is updated and I can get it with lseek(SEEK_CUR). Can I trust that this behavior won't change in future Linux versions? Apparently this isn't standard, because at least OS X and Solaris don't do this. pwrite()
