ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.1-rc2/2.6.1-rc2-mm1/

  •   
  • Some rework to the mt-ranier CDROM support and ATAPI access to
    MO drives. Could anyone who uses these please retest.
  • A fix for loop-on-ext2-on-cdrom. Also needs testing
    please.
  • A significant amount of work on remap_file_pages() from Ingo.
    Most notably, we now support per-page protections within a single
    VMA. This is aimed at UML and similar specialised applications
    which are presently forced to allocate one VMA per page.

    Anyone who is interested in remap_file_pages(), please test.

    This adds a new syscall and breaks all non-ia32 architectures.
    Instructions as to how to unbreak them is in the
    remap_file_pages-prot-2.6.1-H2 patch.

  • The remap_file_pages non-blocking infrastructure has been used
    to implement prefaulting of minor faults for mappings. This will
    reduce the kernel’s minor fault rate by up to a factor of eight and
    has been shown to offer a few percent speedup on some things.

    This needs serious benchmarking please. Tests which involve
    short-lived processes.

    The remap_file_pages work will probably live in -mm for a while.
    It needs careful review – alterations to largely unused code paths
    are a concern because of the potential for long-lived security and
    DoS holes.

  • Added an implementation of RAID6 from Peter Anvin. Usage
    information is available in the Kconfig help for the feature. I’m
    sure he’d like to hear of testing results.
  • There’s a fix for the Radeon framebuffer card here which we’re
    a bit wobbly about. if you have such a thing, please send a
    report.
  • Significant amount of rework of the ACPI PM timer source patch.
    I’m not sure that I got all the right patches in the right place.
    John and Dominik, please double-check.
  • Added the latest code drop from DRM CVS. People who use DRM,
    please test it.
