[PATCH] smaps: shared fix

2006-03-07T02:40:45+00:00

The point of the smaps "shared" is to count the number of pages that are
mapped by more than one process, according to Mauricio Lin.  However, smaps
uses page_count for this, so it will return a false positive for every page
that is mapped by just that one process, which is also in pagecache or
swapcache.  There are false positive situations for anonymous pages not in
swapcache as well: - page reclaim, migration - get_user_pages (eg.
direct-io, ptrace)

Use page_mapcount instead, to count the number of mappings to the page.

Use vm_normal_page so that weird things like /dev/mem aren't counted either.

[PATCH] fix handling of st_nlink on procfs root

2006-02-18T20:54:36+00:00

1) it should use nr_processes(), not nr_threads; otherwise we are getting
very confused find(1) and friends, among other things.
2) better do that at stat() time than at every damn lookup in procfs root.

Patch had been sitting in FC4 kernels for many months now...

[PATCH] disable per cpu intr in /proc/stat

2006-02-03T16:32:07+00:00

Don't compute and display the per-irq sums on ia64 either, too much
overhead for mostly useless figures.

[PATCH] convert /proc/devices to use seq_file interface

2006-01-15T02:25:19+00:00

A Christoph suggested that the /proc/devices file be converted to use the
seq_file interface.  This patch does that.

I've obxerved one or two installation that had sufficiently large sans that
they overran the 4k limit on /proc/devices.

[PATCH] powerpc: Add/remove/update properties in /proc/device-tree

2006-01-13T10:02:13+00:00

Add support to the proc_device_tree file for removing
and updating properties.  Remove just removes the
proc file, update changes the data pointer within
the proc file.  The remainder of the device-tree
changes occur elsewhere.

[PATCH] kdump: vmcore compilation warning fix

2006-01-12T02:42:11+00:00

o fs/proc/vmcore.c compilation gives warnings on ppc64. The reason being
  that u64 is defined as unsigned long hence u64* is not same as loff_t*
  and compiler cribs.

o Changed the parameter type to u64* instead of loff_t* to resolve the
  conflict.
