Updated lockless pagecache patchset available here: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/npiggin/patches/lockless/2.6.17/lockless.patch.gz This should hopefully be my last release using the old (2.6.17) indirect radix-tree, and I'll switch to the direct radix-tree in future. Changes since last release: - lots of radix-tree cleanups and bugs fixed - radix-tree tag lookups may be lockless - added some missing memory barriers - lockless pagevec_lookup_tag The last item allowed me to remove the last few read-lockers, which is nice.
