#pragma description Summary of the changes and new features merged in the Linux Kernel during the 2.6.9 development

2.6.9 was released October 19, 2004. [[http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.9|Changelog]]
 * Token-based thrashing control. When there are pageins going on, a task can grab a token, that protects the task from pageout (except by itself) until it is no longer doing heavy pageins, or until the maximum hold time of the token is over. [[http://lwn.net/Articles/96621|(LWN article)]] [[https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/history/history.git/commit/?id=d4f9d02b9151b9ff87a950ed42220de4f740d27b|commit]]
 * Support for POSIX's waitid(2) Also, now linux now supports the POSIX specification that SIGCHLD is sent to the parent when one of its children resumes as a consequence of receiving a SIGCONT signal. Also, WCONTINUED flag is added to waitpid() and waitid() [[https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/history/history.git/commit/?id=ca3f74aa7baa11482435275c41ba323e3e2ec7b6|commit]]
 * Concurrent {{{O_SYNC}}} write support: In databases it is common to have multiple threads or processes performing O_SYNC writes against different parts of the same file. Performance at this is poor, because each writer blocks access to the file by waiting on I/O completion while holding i_sem: everything is serialised. The patch improves things by moving the writing and waiting outside i_sem. So other threads can get in and submit their I/O and permit the disk scheduler to optimise the IO patterns better [[https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/history/history.git/commit/?id=db205bd6b845f6fdd4a1e1984371e25af9c62a13|commit]],  [[https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/history/history.git/commit/?id=f3996c8cf3ff3595fa3c60efef8c07901b380b54|commit]]

 * {{{RLIMIT_MEMLOCK}}} semantics change: In Linux kernels before 2.6.9, only privileged processes ({{{CAP_IPC_LOCK}}}) could lock memory, and the {{{RLIMIT_MEMLOCK}}} soft resource limit placed an upper limit on the number of bytes that a privileged process can lock.
