[PATCH] gfp flags annotations - part 1

2005-10-08T22:00:57+00:00

 - added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;

 - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
   the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
   generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
   typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

[IPSEC]: Document that policy direction is derived from the index.

2005-10-05T19:15:12+00:00

Here is a patch that adds a helper called xfrm_policy_id2dir to
document the fact that the policy direction can be and is derived
from the index.

This is based on a patch by YOSHIFUJI Hideaki and 210313105@suda.edu.cn.

[NET]: use __read_mostly on kmem_cache_t , DEFINE_SNMP_STAT pointers

2005-08-29T23:11:18+00:00

This patch puts mostly read only data in the right section
(read_mostly), to help sharing of these data between CPUS without
memory ping pongs.

On one of my production machine, tcp_statistics was sitting in a
heavily modified cache line, so *every* SNMP update had to force a
reload.
