Linux 2.6.32-rc1
It's been two weeks (and then some - but with last week being LinuxCon and Plumbers conf I extended it by a few days), and as usual that means that the merge window is all over and done with. 2.6.32-rc1 is out, so give it a whirl. What can I say? 67% drivers (the bulk of which is from 'staging', but there'... 5 Oct 2009 11:16

[PATCH] softlockup: keep current softlockup period before touching timestamp
Imaging such a scenario, softlockup deadline is 60s and a softirq runs at most 65s. Assume that currently that softirq runs 50s. At this moment, issue a "echo 40 > /proc/sys/kernel/softlockup_thresh" and thus lead to recounting the timeout. The remaining time for that softirq is 15s less than new threshold 40s, whi... 27 Sep 2009 01:34
