Nick Piggin 674539115c [PATCH] mm: less atomic ops
In the page release paths, we can be sure that nobody will mess with our
page->flags because the refcount has dropped to 0.  So no need for atomic
operations here.

Nick Piggin a74609fafa [PATCH] mm: page_state opt
Optimise page_state manipulations by introducing interrupt unsafe accessors
to page_state fields.  Callers must provide their own locking (either
disable interrupts or not update from interrupt context).

Switch over the hot callsites that can easily be moved under interrupts off
sections.

Hugh Dickins 664beed019 [PATCH] unpaged: unifdefed PageCompound
It looks like snd_xxx is not the only nopage to be using PageReserved as a way
of holding a high-order page together: which no longer works, but is masked by
our failure to free from VM_RESERVED areas.  We cannot fix that bug without
first substituting another way to hold the high-order page together, while
farming out the 0-order pages from within it.

That's just what PageCompound is designed for, but it's been kept under
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE.  Remove the #ifdefs: which saves some space (out- of-line
put_page), doesn't slow down what most needs to be fast (already using
hugetlb), and unifies the way we handle high-order pages.

Martin Hicks c07e02db76 [PATCH] VM: add page_state info to per-node meminfo
Add page_state info to the per-node meminfo file in sysfs.  This is mostly
just for informational purposes.

The lack of this information was brought up recently during a discussion
regarding pagecache clearing, and I put this patch together to test out one
of the suggestions.

It seems like interesting info to have, so I'm submitting the patch.

This bitop does not need to be atomic because it is performed when there will
be no references to the page (ie.  the page is being freed).

Benjamin LaHaise c2f29ea111 [PATCH] __read_page_state(): pass unsigned long instead of unsigned
By making the offset argument of __read_page_state an unsigned long instead of
unsigned, we can avoid forcing the compiler to sign extend a usually constant
argument.  This saves 1 instruction on x86-64.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki edfbe2b003 [PATCH] count bounce buffer pages in vmstat
This is a patch for counting the number of pages for bounce buffers.  It's
shown in /proc/vmstat.

Currently, the number of bounce pages are not counted anywhere.  So, if
there are many bounce pages, it seems that there are leaked pages.  And
it's difficult for a user to imagine the usage of bounce pages.  So, it's
meaningful to show # of bouce pages.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
