Re: Linux 2.6.22-rc2: make -j makes it unresponsive

Hi,

Various random fixes all over - the shortlog (appended) is fairly
readable. The most notable ones are probably more SLUB fixes, and the
epoll optimizations and cleanups.

But there's stuff in architectures (ia64, SH, AVR32, POWER), libata,
network drivers, sound.. Give it a try.

I've been telling some people off on merging stuff, and I'll get even more
hard-nosed about it after -rc2, so please don't even try to send anything
but real fixes.

I think the current situation looks reasonably good for 2.6.22, but I hope
everybody will take a good look at the regression lists (whether they
_think_ they are affected or not), and spend some time wondering "was that
anything I did, or is it something I can look at". Ok?

Running 'make -j' kernel compilation on my test box (Athlon64 X2, 2 SATA drives
with 6 software RAID1 ext3 and reiserfs partitions, 2 GB of RAM) makes it
completely unresponsive. I can't even move the mouse pointer when it's
running, I can't log to the box from the network etc.

The anticipatory IO scheduler is used.

Greetings,
Rafael
