Changes ------- Added: +mm-highmem_fix_background_scan.patch The background scanning when used with a very small amount of highmem (eg 1GB) was continually clearing out page cache inappropriately. This patch corrects it by not background scanning if highmem is below watermarks. +sched-staircase13.4_13.5.patch Increase rr intervals to 6ms for slightly better cache utilisation while still staying below human perceptible jitter levels. +nfs-fix_build.patch The 2.6.15.5 stable patch includes a build error; this fixes it.
