[PATCH 8/9] fs/ceph: Eliminate useless code
From: Julia Lawall <julia(a)diku.dk> The variable client is initialized twice to the same (side effect-free) expression. Drop one initialization.

nommu: implement vmap/vunmap with kmalloc
Seems a reasonable idea. It could be done more efficiently if vunmap() was given the page count given to vmap().

[PATCH 1/4] perf/core: Split context's event group list into pinned and non-pinned lists
Split-up struct perf_event_context::group_list into pinned_groups and flexible_groups (non-pinned). This first appears to be useless as it duplicates various loops around the group list handlings. But it scales better in the fast-path in perf_sched_in(). We don't anymore iterate twice through the entire list t... 16 Jan 2010 09:30

[PATCH] perf: Fix implicit declaration of getline in util.c
getline() is considered as undeclared in util/util.c because it includes string.h, that in turn includes stdio.h, without having defined _GNU_SOURCE. But util.c also includes util.h that handles the _GNU_SOURCE and all the needed inclusions already. Let's include only util.h and sys/mman.h which is the only one ... 16 Jan 2010 09:29

[PATCH 06/37] x86: call early_res_to_bootmem one time
simplify setup_node_mem, do use bootmem from other node. instead just find_e820_area in early_node_mem. so we can keep the boundary between early_res and boot mem more clear. and only call civertion one time instead of for all nodes.
