[patch -mm 8/9 v2] oom: avoid oom killer for lowmem allocations
If memory has been depleted in lowmem zones even with the protection afforded to it by /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio, it is unlikely that killing current users will help. The memory is either reclaimable (or migratable) already, in which case we should not invoke the oom killer at all, or it is pinned by an ap... 15 Feb 2010 17:46

[net-next PATCH v4 0/3] net: reserve ports for applications using fixed port
This iteration makes the bitmap dynamically allocated since it is quite big (8192 bytes) and adding that much in BSS may still, apparently, cause problems on some architectures.

[PATCH] dmatest: correct raid6 PQ test
The number of PQ sources specified by module parameter "pq_sources" is always forced odd to fit into dmatest's destination verificaton scheme. But number of PQ sources and coefficients as passed to the driver's prep_dma_pq() is not adjusted accordingly. Fix it now to get correct PQ testing results in the case pas... 15 Feb 2010 17:45
