Please bear in mind that the bulk of a -mm patch is in fact the latest batch
of updates from Linus's tree. So if you discover a problem, don't just tell
me about it! Other people write bugs too, you know.
. More anticipatory scheduler work. We're now starting to track
per-process I/O patterns.
This is all part of fixing up all the small (and not so small)
regressions which are a natural consequence of leaving the disk head idle
for 5-10 milliseconds. We're getting there.
. There's a missing spin_unlock() in sysfs_remove_dir() which is fairly
fatal for SMP and preemptible kernels. Fix it with this:
