* [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.

* [PATCH] cciss: remove calls to pci_disable_deviceMike Miller2006-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove calls to pci_disable_device except in fail_all_cmds. The pci_disable_device function does something nasty to Smart Array controllers that pci_enable_device does not undo. So if the driver is unloaded it cannot be reloaded. 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. Please consider this for inclusion.

* [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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Run "make xconfig" on a freshly untarred kernel-tree. Look at the floppy disk icon of the qt application, that has just started: Its in a normal, active state. Mouse click on it: .config is being saved. This patch series changes things so taht after the mouse click on the floppy disk icon, the icon is greyed out. If you mouse click on it now, nothing happens. If you change some CONFIG_*, the floppy disk icon returns to "active state", that is, if you mouse click it now, .config is written. This patch: Returns sym_change_count to reflect the .config's change state. All read only accesses of sym_change_count are replaced by calls to conf_get_changed() . mconfig.c is manipulated to ask for saving only when conf_get_changed() returned true.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 373beb35cd6b625e0ba4ad98baace12310a26aa8. No one is using this identifier yet. The purpose of this identifier is to export nsproxy to user space which is wrong. nsproxy is an internal implementation optimization, which should keep our fork times from getting slower as we increase the number of global namespaces you don't have to share. Adding a global identifier like this is inappropriate because it makes namespaces inherently non-recursive, greatly limiting what we can do with them in the future. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch eliminates a potential deadlock that is possible when XPC disconnects a channel to a partition that has gone down. This deadlock will occur if at least one of the kthreads created by XPC for the purpose of making callouts to the channel's registerer is detained in the registerer and will not be returning back to XPC until some registerer request occurs on the now downed partition. The potential for a deadlock is removed by ensuring that there always is a kthread available to make the channel disconnecting callout to the registerer.

There are 2 distinctly different problems in this code. 1) If prctl is used to disable logging, last_time is never updated. The result is that fpu_swa_count is zeroed out on EVERY fp fault. This causes a very very hot cache line. The fix reduces the wallclock time of a 1024p FP exception test from 28734 sec to 19 sec!!! 2) On VERY large systems, excessive messages are logged because multiple cpus can each reset or increment fpu_swa_count at about the same time. The result is that hundreds of messages are logged each second. The fixes reduces the logging rate to ~1 per second.

| * [IA64] fix arch/ia64/mm/contig.c:235: warning: unused variable `nid'Tony Luck2006-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This warning only shows up with CONFIG_VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP=y and CONFIG_FLATMEM=y. There is only one caller left for register_active_ranges() from the contig.c code ... so it doesn't need to pick up the node number, the node number is always zero.

| * [IA64] Kexec/Kdump: honour non-zero crashkernel offset.Horms2006-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There seems to be a value in both allowing the kernel to determine the base offset of the crashkernel automatically and allowing users's to sepcify it. The old behaviour on ia64, which is still the current behaviour on most architectures is for the user to always specify the address. Recently ia64 was changed so that it is always automatically determined. With this patch the kernel automatically determines the offset if the supplied value is 0, otherwise it uses the value provided. This should probably be backed by a documentation change.

| * [IA64] CONFIG_KEXEC/CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP permutationsHorms2006-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Actually, on reflection I think that there is a good case for keeping the options separate. I am thinking particularly of people who want a very small crashdump kernel and thus don't want to compile in kexec. The patch below should fix things up so that all valid combinations of KEXEC, CRASH_DUMP and VMCORE compile cleanly - VMCORE depends on CRASH_DUMP which is why I said valid combinations. In a nutshell it just untangles unrelated code and switches around a few defines. Please note that it creats a new file, arch/ia64/kernel/crash_dump.c This is in keeping with the i386 implementation.

| * [IA64] Do not call SN_SAL_SET_CPU_NUMBER twice on cpu 0Jay Lan2006-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is an SN specific patch. Architectually, cpu_init is always called twice on cpu 0 and thus resulted in two SN_SAL_SET_CPU_NUMBER calls. This was harmless in production kernel; however, it can cause problem on booting up a crashdump kernel at Altix. Here is the patch that detects the second sn_cpu_init call and skips the second call to SN_SAL_SET_CPU_NUMBER. Signed-Off-By: Jay Lan <jlan@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
