At the moment, static_prio_timeslice() is only used in
sys_sched_rr_get_interval() and only gives the correct result for
SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR tasks as the time slice for normal tasks is
unrelated to the values returned by static_prio_timeslice().

The coredump code always calls set_dumpable(0) when it starts (even
if RLIMIT_CORE prevents any core from being dumped). The effect of
this (via task_dumpable) is to make /proc/pid/* files owned by root
instead of the user, so the user can no longer examine his own
process--in a case where there

Hi :)
I have two harddisks with encfs on top of reiserfs between which I could copy
data at ~22MB/s before the upgrade from 2.6.22 to 2.6.23.
After the upgrade the transfer rate stuck at ~14MB/s and changing nice values
did not help anything.
And now the funny part:
I noticed the transfer rate

Kexec base hibernation has some potential advantages over uswsusp and
TuxOnIce (suspend2). Some most obvious advantages are:
1. The hibernation image size can exceed half of memory size easily.
2. The hibernation image can be written to and read from almost
anywhere, such as USB disk, NFS.
3.
This patch adds writing support for /dev/oldmem. This is used to
restore the memory contents of hibernated system.

Hi Christoph, Al,
Here's a set of patches that remove all calls to iget() and all read_inode()
functions. They should be removed for two reasons: firstly they don't lend
themselves to good error handling, and secondly their presence is a temptation
for code outside a filesystem to call iget() t
Use iget_failed() in AFS to kill a failed inode.

Introduce a function to register failure in an inode construction path. This
includes marking the inode under construction as bad, unlocking it and
releasing it.

Add an ERR_CAST() macro to complement ERR_PTR and co. for the purposes of
casting an error entyped as one pointer type to an error of another pointer
type whilst making it explicit as to what is going on.
This provides a replacement for the ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(p)) construct.

Thanks. At least now all I have to do is worry about the
details when we get that far instead of selling the big picture...

There will be no change in API. Driver will accept a parameter
"locality" and it will always operate on that locality. By default this
parameter will be 0 which is what current driver assumes.
Who is the maintainer for this driver?
