- Added a new vm tunable: /proc/sys/vm/vfs-cache-pressure.
This allows tuning of the kernel's preference for reclaiming VFS caches
versus pagecache.
vfs-cache-pressure=0: dentry and inode caches aren't reclaimed at all
vfs-cache-pressure=100: default - current behaviour
vfs-cache-pressure > 100: reclaim the VFS caches harder.
It seems that large values of vfs-cache-pressure are needed to make much
difference: 1000 or more.
- Under some circumstances the current page reclaim code can hold
interrupts off for a long time. That is fixed here.
- I went through and dropped a bunch of patches which don't seem to be very
useful now - mainly debug stuff.
- Various driver updates and random fixes
I can't compile 2.6.7-mm1. here are the errors :
CC security/selinux/hooks.o
security/selinux/hooks.c:4129: error: `selinux_netlink_send' undeclared here (not in a function)
security/selinux/hooks.c:4129: error: initializer element is not constant

make[2]: *** [security/selinux/hooks.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [security/selinux] Error 2
make: *** [security] Error 2
With the same config, the 2.6.7 compiles perfectly. I join my .config.
