* [PATCH] mm: rss = file_rss + anon_rssHugh Dickins2005-10-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I was lazy when we added anon_rss, and chose to change as few places as possible. So currently each anonymous page has to be counted twice, in rss and in anon_rss. Which won't be so good if those are atomic counts in some configurations. Change that around: keep file_rss and anon_rss separately, and add them together (with get_mm_rss macro) when the total is needed - reading two atomics is much cheaper than updating two atomics. And update anon_rss upfront, typically in memory.c, not tucked away in page_add_anon_rmap.

* [PATCH] largefile support for accountingPeter Staubach2005-09-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a problem in the accounting subsystem in the kernel can not correctly handle files larger than 2GB. The output file containing the process accounting data can grow very large if the system is large enough and active enough. If the 2GB limit is reached, then the system simply stops storing process accounting data. Another annoying problem is that once the system reaches this 2GB limit, then every process which exits will receive a signal, SIGXFSZ. This signal is generated because an attempt was made to write beyond the limit for the file descriptor. This signal makes it look like every process has exited due to a signal, when in fact, they have not. The solution is to add the O_LARGEFILE flag to the list of flags used to open the accounting file. The rest of the accounting support is already largefile safe. The changes were tested by constructing a large file (just short of 2GB), enabling accounting, and then running enough commands to cause the accounting data generated to increase the size of the file to 2GB. Without the changes, the file grows to 2GB and the last command run in the test script appears to exit due a signal when it has not. With the changes, things work as expected and quietly. There are some user level changes required so that it can deal with largefiles, but those are being handled separately.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-171-0/+561
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
