Benjamin LaHaise 5a6b7951bf [PATCH] get_empty_filp tweaks, inline epoll_init_file()
Eliminate a handful of cache references by keeping current in a register
instead of reloading (helps x86) and avoiding the overhead of a function
call.  Inlining eventpoll_init_file() saves 24 bytes.  Also reorder file
initialization to make writes occur more sequentially.

Benjamin LaHaise 6cb153cab9 [NET]: use fget_light() in net/socket.c
Here's an updated copy of the patch to use fget_light in net/socket.c.
Rerunning the tests show a drop of ~80Mbit/s on average, which looks
bad until you see the drop in cpu usage from ~89% to ~82%.  That will
get fixed in another patch...

Benjamin LaHaise 9884fd8df1 [PATCH] Use 32 bit division in slab_put_obj()
Improve the performance of slab_put_obj().  Without the cast, gcc considers
ptrdiff_t a 64 bit signed integer and ends up emitting code to use a full
signed 128 bit divide on EM64T, which is substantially slower than a 32 bit
unsigned divide.

I noticed this when looking at the profile of a case where the slab balance
is just on edge and thrashes back and forth freeing a block.

Ben Lahaise e763b793f7 [PATCH] uml: switch_mm fix
Not quite, something along the lines of the patch below works correctly (and
makes aio performance not suffer from multiple second delays), as skas0 mode
correctly switches mm contexts, unlike TT (which should probably get nuked
from the kernel now that skas0 seems to be working).

Benjamin LaHaise ac0b1bc1ed [PATCH] aio: kiocb locking to serialise retry and cancel
Implement a per-kiocb lock to serialise retry operations and cancel.  This
is done using wait_on_bit_lock() on the KIF_LOCKED bit of kiocb->ki_flags.
Also, make the cancellation path lock the kiocb and subsequently release
all references to it if the cancel was successful.  This version includes a
fix for the deadlock with __aio_run_iocbs.

Benjamin LaHaise 07dc3f0718 [NET]: Make use of ->private_data in sockfd_lookup
Please consider the patch below which makes use of file->private_data to
store the pointer to the socket, which avoids touching several unused
cachelines in the dentry and inode in sockfd_lookup.
