* [PATCH] relative atimeValerie Henson2006-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add "relatime" (relative atime) support. Relative atime only updates the atime if the previous atime is older than the mtime or ctime. Like noatime, but useful for applications like mutt that need to know when a file has been read since it was last modified. A corresponding patch against mount(8) is available at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mount-relative-atime.txt Signed-off-by: Valerie Henson <val_henson@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Cc: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] PM: Fix SMP races in the freezerRafael J. Wysocki2006-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, to tell a task that it should go to the refrigerator, we set the PF_FREEZE flag for it and send a fake signal to it. Unfortunately there are two SMP-related problems with this approach. First, a task running on another CPU may be updating its flags while the freezer attempts to set PF_FREEZE for it and this may leave the task's flags in an inconsistent state. Second, there is a potential race between freeze_process() and refrigerator() in which freeze_process() running on one CPU is reading a task's PF_FREEZE flag while refrigerator() running on another CPU has just set PF_FROZEN for the same task and attempts to reset PF_FREEZE for it. If the refrigerator wins the race, freeze_process() will state that PF_FREEZE hasn't been set for the task and will set it unnecessarily, so the task will go to the refrigerator once again after it's been thawed. To solve first of these problems we need to stop using PF_FREEZE to tell tasks that they should go to the refrigerator. Instead, we can introduce a special TIF_*** flag and use it for this purpose, since it is allowed to change the other tasks' TIF_*** flags and there are special calls for it. To avoid the freeze_process()-refrigerator() race we can make freeze_process() to always check the task's PF_FROZEN flag after it's read its "freeze" flag. We should also make sure that refrigerator() will always reset the task's "freeze" flag after it's set PF_FROZEN for it. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* [PATCH] PM: Fix freezing of stopped tasksRafael J. Wysocki2006-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, if a task is stopped (ie. it's in the TASK_STOPPED state), it is considered by the freezer as unfreezeable. However, there may be a race between the freezer and the delivery of the continuation signal to the task resulting in the task running after we have finished freezing the other tasks. This, in turn, may lead to undesirable effects up to and including data corruption. To prevent this from happening we first need to make the freezer consider stopped tasks as freezeable. For this purpose we need to make freezeable() stop returning 0 for these tasks and we need to force them to enter the refrigerator. However, if there's no continuation signal in the meantime, the stopped tasks should remain stopped after all processes have been thawed, so we need to send an additional SIGSTOP to each of them before waking it up. Also, a stopped task that has just been woken up should first check if there's a freezing request for it and go to the refrigerator if that's the case. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* [PATCH] SLAB: use a multiply instead of a divide in obj_to_index()Eric Dumazet2006-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When some objects are allocated by one CPU but freed by another CPU we can consume lot of cycles doing divides in obj_to_index(). (Typical load on a dual processor machine where network interrupts are handled by one particular CPU (allocating skbufs), and the other CPU is running the application (consuming and freeing skbufs)) Here on one production server (dual-core AMD Opteron 285), I noticed this divide took 1.20 % of CPU_CLK_UNHALTED events in kernel. But Opteron are quite modern cpus and the divide is much more expensive on oldest architectures : On a 200 MHz sparcv9 machine, the division takes 64 cycles instead of 1 cycle for a multiply. Doing some math, we can use a reciprocal multiplication instead of a divide. If we want to compute V = (A / B) (A and B being u32 quantities) we can instead use : V = ((u64)A * RECIPROCAL(B)) >> 32 ; where RECIPROCAL(B) is precalculated to ((1LL << 32) + (B - 1)) / B Note : I wrote pure C code for clarity. gcc output for i386 is not optimal but acceptable : mull 0x14(%ebx) mov %edx,%eax // part of the >> 32 xor %edx,%edx // useless mov %eax,(%esp) // could be avoided mov %edx,0x4(%esp) // useless mov (%esp),%ebx [akpm@osdl.org: small cleanups] Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Cc: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Cc: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] cpuset: rework cpuset_zone_allowed apiPaul Jackson2006-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Elaborate the API for calling cpuset_zone_allowed(), so that users have to explicitly choose between the two variants: cpuset_zone_allowed_hardwall() cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() Until now, whether or not you got the hardwall flavor depended solely on whether or not you or'd in the __GFP_HARDWALL gfp flag to the gfp_mask argument. If you didn't specify __GFP_HARDWALL, you implicitly got the softwall version. Unfortunately, this meant that users would end up with the softwall version without thinking about it. Since only the softwall version might sleep, this led to bugs with possible sleeping in interrupt context on more than one occassion. The hardwall version requires that the current tasks mems_allowed allows the node of the specified zone (or that you're in interrupt or that __GFP_THISNODE is set or that you're on a one cpuset system.) The softwall version, depending on the gfp_mask, might allow a node if it was allowed in the nearest enclusing cpuset marked mem_exclusive (which requires taking the cpuset lock 'callback_mutex' to evaluate.) This patch removes the cpuset_zone_allowed() call, and forces the caller to explicitly choose between the hardwall and the softwall case. If the caller wants the gfp_mask to determine this choice, they should (1) be sure they can sleep or that __GFP_HARDWALL is set, and (2) invoke the cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() routine. This adds another 100 or 200 bytes to the kernel text space, due to the few lines of nearly duplicate code at the top of both cpuset_zone_allowed_* routines. It should save a few instructions executed for the calls that turned into calls of cpuset_zone_allowed_hardwall, thanks to not having to set (before the call) then check (within the call) the __GFP_HARDWALL flag. For the most critical call, from get_page_from_freelist(), the same instructions are executed as before -- the old cpuset_zone_allowed() routine it used to call is the same code as the cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() routine that it calls now. Not a perfect win, but seems worth it, to reduce this chance of hitting a sleeping with irq off complaint again.

* [PATCH] Cleanup slab headers / API to allow easy addition of new slab allocatorsChristoph Lameter2006-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a response to an earlier discussion on linux-mm about splitting slab.h components per allocator. Patch is against 2.6.19-git11. See http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-mm&m=116469577431008&w=2 This patch cleans up the slab header definitions. We define the common functions of slob and slab in slab.h and put the extra definitions needed for slab's kmalloc implementations in <linux/slab_def.h>. In order to get a greater set of common functions we add several empty functions to slob.c and also rename slob's kmalloc to __kmalloc. Slob does not need any special definitions since we introduce a fallback case. If there is no need for a slab implementation to provide its own kmalloc mess^H^H^Hacros then we simply fall back to __kmalloc functions. That is sufficient for SLOB. Sort the function in slab.h according to their functionality. First the functions operating on struct kmem_cache * then the kmalloc related functions followed by special debug and fallback definitions. Also redo a lot of comments.

Also, customers can disable any pci device via the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU). If the customer has disabled the controller we should not try to blindly enable the card from the driver.

* [PATCH] reorder struct pipe_buf_operationsEric Dumazet2006-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fields of struct pipe_buf_operations have not a precise layout (ie not optimized to fit cache lines nor reduce cache line ping pongs) The bufs[] array is *large* and is placed near the beginning of the structure, so all following fields have a large offset. This is unfortunate because many archs have smaller instructions when using small offsets relative to a base register. On x86 for example, 7 bits offsets have smaller instruction lengths. Moving bufs[] at the end of pipe_buf_operations permits all fields to have small offsets, and reduce text size, and icache pressure. # size vmlinux.pre vmlinux text data bss dec hex filename 3268989 664356 492196 4425541 438745 vmlinux.pre 3268765 664356 492196 4425317 438665 vmlinux So this patch reduces text size by 224 bytes on my x86_64 machine.

* [PATCH] isdn/gigaset: fix possible missing wakeupTilman Schmidt2006-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Eliminate some possibilities for user processes writing to the Gigaset character device to be left sleeping indefinitely, by adding wakeup calls to error paths and properly disposing of pending write requests when the device is disconnected. It also removes unnecessary NULL checks before usb_free_urb() and usb_kill_urb() calls.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | More fixes to build breakage from the work_struct changes ... this updates the tps65010 driver. Plus, fix some dependencies related to the way it's used on the OMAP OSK: force static linking there, since the resulting kernel can't link. NOTE that until the i2c core gets fixed to work without SMBUS_QUICK, kernels needing this driver must still use "tps65010.force=0,0x48" on the command line.

| * [IA64] kprobe clears qp bits for special instructionsbibo,mao2006-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On IA64 there exists some special instructions which always need to be executed regradless of qp bits, such as com.crel.unc, tbit.trel.unc etc. This patch clears qp bits when inserting kprobe trap code and disables probepoint on slot 1 for these special instructions.

| * [IA64] enable trap code on slot 1Tony Luck2006-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because slot 1 of one instr bundle crosses border of two consecutive 8-bytes, kprobe on slot 1 is disabled. This patch enables kprobe on slot1, it only replaces higher 8-bytes of the instruction bundle and changes the exception code to ignore the low 12 bits of the break number (which is across the border in the lower 8-bytes of the bundle). For those instructions which must execute regardless qp bits, kprobe on slot 1 is still disabled. Signed-off-by: bibo,mao <bibo.mao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
