Back in 2006 Srivatsa Vaddagiri summarised proposals for CPU controllers,
which variously offered to limit or guarantee CPU for a task group. Some
of these supported both soft and hard limits.
Now in 2008 we have FAIR_CGROUP_SCHED in mainline, which supports soft CPU
limits per control group.

The powerpc show_regs prints CPU using smp_processor_id: change that to

Recent percpu changes have broken CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT's per_cpu checking
on several architectures. On s390, sparc64 and x86 it's been weakened to
not checking at all; whereas on powerpc64 it's become too strict, issuing
warnings from __raw_get_cpu_var in io_schedule and init_timer for example.

Even if you did -f, it must have shutdown the network. I think somehow
in latest kernels there is some dependency on network and that's why
not shutting down network in this case is helping you.

Add NFS mount options to allow the local caching support to be enabled.
The attached patch makes it possible for the NFS filesystem to be told to make
use of the network filesystem local caching service (FS-Cache).
To be able to use this, a recent nfsutils package is required.
There are three
nfs_readpage_async() needs to be non-static so that it can be used as a
fallback for the local on-disk caching should an EIO crop up when reading the
cache.

Invalidate the FsCache page flags on the pages belonging to an inode when the
cache backing that NFS inode is removed.
This allows a live cache to be withdrawn.

Add some new NFS I/O event counters for FS-Cache events. They have to be
added as byte counters because I may need to be able to increase the numbers
by more than 1 at a time.

FS-Cache page management for NFS. This includes hooking the releasing and
invalidation of pages marked with PG_fscache (aka PG_private_2) and waiting for
completion of the write-to-cache flag (PG_fscache_write aka PG_owner_priv_2).

Add read context retention so that FS-Cache can call back into NFS when a read
operation on the cache fails EIO rather than reading data. This permits NFS to
then fetch the data from the server instead using the appropriate security
context.

Define and create superblock-level cache index objects (as managed by
nfs_server structs).
Each superblock object is created in a server level index object and is itself
an index into which inode-level objects are inserted.
Ideally there would be one superblock-level object per server, and the
301 - 400 of 1083 matches
