==== diff-ms-stopmachine-ipi-deadlock ====
<div class="change">Patch from Kirill:<br/>
This patch fixes deadlock of stop_machine() vs. synchronous IPI send.
The problem is that stop_machine() disables interrupts before disabling
preemption on other CPUs. So if another CPU is preempted and then calls
something like flush_tlb_all() it will deadlock with CPU doing stop_machine()
and which can't process IPI due to disabled IRQs.<br/>
I changed stop_machine() to do the same things exactly as it does on
==== diff-ubc-oom-fix-20051102 ====
<div class="change">Patch from Pavel:<br/>
* shrinked slabs counting during try_to_free_pages() (lost from 2.4);
* do not call yield() in oom_kill() if suicide hapened (lost from 2.4);
==== diff-ms-pagealloc-nofail-20051108 ====
<div class="change">Patch from Kirill and Pavel:<br/>
When PF_MEMALLOC is set __alloc_pages() does it best
to allocate a page. If even this try fails it is not
good to immediately return NULL - try to wait longer.

If we have custom iptables entries inside VPS, than on VPS stop related
iptable_* modules counts decrements aren't performed. Fixed.

==== diff-fairsched-balance-20051102 ====
<div class="change">Patch from Andrey, fixed/splitted/corrected by Kirill:<br/>
This patch adds passive/active balancing in CPU scheduler.
Additionally:

* fixed initialization of VCPUs and scheduler domains

==== diff-ms-flock-hotplug-fix-20051114 ====
<div class="change">Patch from mainstream:<br/>
The patch below fixes an interesting oddity we're seeing with fedora core
development (where we recently started using udev heavily); basically right
locking operations. When that happens the kernel oopses because the slabs
for file locks aren't initialized yet.
Solution: initialize this way early. It's only a kmem_cache_create after
all, so can happen early.

==== diff-ve-vpid-alloc-20051118 ====
<div class="change">Patch from Alexey, modified by Kirill:<br/>
[PATCH] vpid allocator was broken<br/>
alloc_pidmap sometimes returned 65536. I understood its logic incorreclty,
apparently pid_max does not mean a strict limit on pid value,
it just prescribes to allocate pid < pid_max, if there is at least one
free value in this range.<br/>
Plus, it was suboptimal because nr_free never reached 0, so if we have

[PATCH] x86_64: correct copy_user_generic return value when exception
happens<br/>
Fix a bug that arch/x86_64/lib/copy_user:copy_user_generic will return a
wrong value when exception happens.<br/>
In the case the address is not 8-byte aligned (i.e. go into
copied bytes, then copy_user_generic returns wrong value. It also fixed a
bug of zeroing wrong number of bytes of destination at this situation. (In
Lzero_rest)<br/>

==== diff-ms-dethread-20051117 ====
<div class="change">Patch from mainstream:<br/>
[PATCH] fix de_thread() vs send_group_sigqueue() race<br/>
When non-leader thread does exec, de_thread calls release_task(leader) before
calling exit_itimers(). If local timer interrupt happens in between, it can oops
in send_group_sigqueue() while taking ->sighand->siglock == NULL.<br/>
However, we can't change send_group_sigqueue() to check p->signal != NULL,
because sys_timer_create() does get_task_struct() only in SIGEV_THREAD_ID
case. So it is possible that this task_struct was already freed and we can't
trust p->signal.<br/>
This patch changes de_thread() so that leader released after exit_itimers()
call.<br/>

[PATCH] Don't auto-reap traced children<br/>
If a task is being traced we never auto-reap it even if it might look
like its parent doesn't care. The tracer obviously _does_ care.<br/>

A threaded app that posix-locks and closes the same file
