The recent changes in cifs have helped a lot with dbench performance.
Mounting cifs version 1.33 (current development tree of cifs) to current
Samba 3 (loopback on same host, to eliminate most network adapter

Enforces the RLIMIT_NPROC limit by adding an additional check for

When a 32bit program is mapping a lot of hugepage vm_areas,
hugetlb_get_unmapped_area may search beyond 4G, then the program will
get a SIGFAULT instead of an errno of ENOMEM.
This patch will fix that.

Why do we even look at disk dump when kexec based dump can dump to disk

This looks like a patch for Linux 2.4. Such major changes for the
