I have a very interesting question about something that we're seeing
happening with threading between Fedora Core 3 and Fedora Core 5. Running
on Dell PowerEdge 1800 Hardware with a Xeon processor with hyper-threading
turned on. Both systems are using a 2.6.16.16 kernel (MVP al la special).

This patch contains the following possible cleanups:
- make needlessly global code static
- remove the following unused variable:
- debug.c: alloc_pri
The commit 4916b3a57fc94664677d439b911b8aaf86c7ec23 introduced a
hid regression between 2.6.19 and 2.6.20-rc1. The device put in
input_dev->cdev is now of type usb_device instead of usb_interface.

Pagecache ratio is the ratio of memory to be left over? Would it not be
better to twist this around and to be able to specify how much of the
memory of a node may be used by the pagecache?
Why limit the size of the pa
Hi Andrew,
Thanks again for finding the fix to the problem I reported.
Can you tell me when I might expect this fix to show up in
2.6.20-rc?
Thanks,

Yes, this is apparently a bug. Thanks a lot for the

I have been running 2.6.20-rc2-mm1 without problems, but both rc3-mm1
and rc4-mm1 have been giving me these freezes. They were happening
inside X and without external console it was impossible to get anything,
plus I was reluctant to test it since the freeze sometimes requires a
full fsck.reiser4
