Zone reclaim may remove 32 unmapped\npages. File I/O will use these pages for the next read/write requests and the\nunmapped pages increase. After the zone has filled up again zone reclaim will\nremove it again after only 32 pages. This cycle is too inefficient and there\nare potentially too many zone reclaim cycles.\n\nWith the 1% boundary we may still remove all unmapped pages for file I/O in\nzone reclaim pass. However. it will take a large number of read and writes\nto get back to 1% again where we trigger zone reclaim again.\n\nThe zone reclaim 2.6.16/17 does not show this behavior because we have a 30\nsecond timeout.\n\n[akpm@osdl.org: rename the /proc file and the variable]\nSigned-off-by: Christoph Lameter \u003cclameter@sgi.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "23f78d4a03c53cbd75d87a795378ea540aa08c86", "tree": "27dfe06337990911380fe8c5949ae9acd8e9568a", "parents": [ "b29739f902ee76a05493fb7d2303490fc75364f4" ], "author": { "name": "Ingo Molnar", "email": "mingo@elte.hu", "time": "Tue Jun 27 02:54:53 2006 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Tue Jun 27 17:32:47 2006 -0700" }, "message": "[PATCH] pi-futex: rt mutex core\n\nCore functions for the rt-mutex subsystem.\n\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Thomas Gleixner \u003ctglx@linutronix.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Arjan van de Ven \u003carjan@linux.intel.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "e6e5494cb23d1933735ee47cc674ffe1c4afed6f", "tree": "c8945bb3ae5bec38693d801fb589d22d48d6f8eb", "parents": [ "d5fb34261dcd32c9cb3b28121fdc46308db513a1" ], "author": { "name": "Ingo Molnar", "email": "mingo@elte.hu", "time": "Tue Jun 27 02:53:50 2006 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Tue Jun 27 17:32:38 2006 -0700" }, "message": "[PATCH] vdso: randomize the i386 vDSO by moving it into a vma\n\nMove the i386 VDSO down into a vma and thus randomize it.\n\nBesides the security implications, this feature also helps debuggers, which\ncan COW a vma-backed VDSO just like a normal DSO and can thus do\nsingle-stepping and other debugging features.\n\nIt\u0027s good for hypervisors (Xen, VMWare) too, which typically live in the same\nhigh-mapped address space as the VDSO, hence whenever the VDSO is used, they\nget lots of guest pagefaults and have to fix such guest accesses up - which\nslows things down instead of speeding things up (the primary purpose of the\nVDSO).\n\nThere\u0027s a new CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO (default\u003dy) option, which provides support\nfor older glibcs that still rely on a prelinked high-mapped VDSO.

For example, these issues include:\n\n1) ICMPv6 handling, which is used for neighbour discovery in\n ipv6 thus some messages such as these should not participate\n in connection tracking since effectively they are like ARP\n messages\n\n2) fragmentation must be handled differently in ipv6, because\n the simplistic \"defrag, connection track and NAT, refrag\"\n (which the existing ipv4 connection tracking does) approach simply\n isn\u0027t feasible in ipv6\n\n3) ipv6 extension header parsing must occur at the correct spots\n before and after connection tracking decisions, and there were\n no provisions for this in the existing connection tracking\n design\n\n4) ipv6 has no need for stateful NAT\n\nThe ipv4 specific conntrack layer is kept around, until all of\nthe ipv4 specific conntrack helpers are ported over to nf_conntrack\nand it is feature complete.
