. 2.5.53-mm2 was a bit sick in the timekeeping and slab department. That
should be fixed here.
. The idea of using the slab head arrays for object preallocation has been
abandoned. It involved too many slab changes, and slab just explodes in
your face when touched. So I've used a custom reservation pool in the
radix-tree code instead.
. I've spent two days chasing the memory leak which Con has reported and
have thus far not been able to reproduce it (managed to collaterally
discover a swapoff lockup and an htree leak though). It's probably an
ext3/VM interaction. Please keep an eye out for this.
Changes since 2.5.53-mm2:
-aic-bounce.patch
-ga2.patch
-reduce-random-context-switch-rate.patch
-file-nr-doc-fix.patch

Merged
-slab-preallocation.patch
-slab-export-tuning.patch
-rat-preallocation.patch
Dropped
+rat-preload.patch
Do the preallocation as a custom radix-tree thing, not generically.
+i_shared_sem.patch
Turn i_shared_lock into a semaphore. Will be needed for scheduling latency
reasons. Is needed to avoid a shared pagetable deadlock.
+cond_resched_lock-rework.patch
Tidy up a couple of low-latency things
+mempool_resize-fix.patch
Fix a problem in mempool_resize()
+slab-redzone-cleanup.patch
Clean up the slab redzoning debug code, add useful messages.
+shrink-kmap-space.patch
Save some wasted kernel virtual address space
+setuid-exec-no-lock_kernel.patch
Locking cleanup
+fix-ethernet-hash.patch
Fix for the ethernet crc function
+route-cache-kmalloc-per-cpu.patch
Use kmalloc_per_cpu for the route cache stats
-config_page_offset.patch
-config_hz.patch
Dropped. Not to Linus' taste.
+page-walk-api-2.5.53-mm2-update.patch
New stuff from Ingo
-page-walk-api-update.patch
-gup-check-valid.patch
Folded into other patches
+page-walk-scsi-2.5.53-mm2.patch
