ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.5/2.5.64/2.5.64-mm5/
. Various fixes and debug things.
. Included the brlock-removal patches for a bit of testing.
. The global files_lock spinlock is now one of the most expensive locks in
the kernel. There are a few patches here which pretty much exterminate it.
These were written by Manfred and myself. We somehow blundered through
this despite our never having seen any UNIX(tm) source code. Beginner's
luck.
. No significant anticipatory scheduler changes this time. We're still
hunting Ed's bug. Testing results would be interesting.
