The patch creates a generic framework that lays on top of bsg and the SGIO v4 ioctl in order to pass transaction requests to LLDD's. The interface supports the following operations: On an fc_host basis: Request login to the specified N_Port_ID, creating an fc_rport. Request logout of the specified N_Port_ID, deleting an fc_rport Send ELS request to specified N_Port_ID w/o requiring a login, and wait for ELS response. Send CT request to specified N_Port_ID and wait for CT response. Login is required, but LLDD is allowed to manage login and decide whether it stays in place after the request is satisfied. Vendor-Unique request. Allows a LLDD-specific request to be passed to the LLDD, and the passing of a response back to the application. On an fc_rport basis: Send ELS request to nport and wait for ELS response. Send CT request to nport and wait for CT response. The patch also exports several headers from include/scsi such that they can be available to user-space applications: include/scsi/scsi.h include/scsi/scsi_netlink.h include/scsi/scsi_netlink_fc.h include/scsi/scsi_bsg_fc.h For further information, refer to the last RFC: http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=123436574018579&w=2 Note: Documentation is still spotty and will be added later.

In this case, that means making the profile more generic so that it works for both the Pointnix Intra-Oral USB camera and the KWorld device. The device provides the audio through a pass-thru cable, so we don't need an actual audio capture profile (neither the K-World device nor the Pointnix have an onboard audio decoder). Thanks to Paul Thomas for providing sample hardware.

In such situations, kmalloc() could face some problem to find the required free memory. vmalloc() is a safer solution instead, as the allocated memory does not need to be contiguous.

| * | | | | console: make blank timeout value a boot optionDaniel Mack2009-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The console blank timer is currently hardcoded to 10*60 seconds which might be annoying on systems with no input devices attached to wake up the console again. Especially during development, disabling the screen saver can be handy - for example when debugging the root fs mount mechanism or other scenarios where no userspace program could be started to do that at runtime from userspace. This patch defines a core_param for the variable in charge which allows users to entirely disable the blank feature at boot time by setting it 0. The value can still be overwritten at runtime using the standard ioctl call - this just allows to conditionally change the default.

| * | | | | vmscan: properly account for the number of page cache pages zone_reclaim() ↵Mel Gorman2009-06-16

The reported problem was that malloc() stalled for a long time (minutes in some cases) if a large tmpfs mount was occupying a large percentage of memory overall. The pages did not get cleaned or reclaimed by zone_reclaim() because the zone_reclaim_mode was unsuitable, but the lists are uselessly scanned frequencly making the CPU spin at near 100%. This patchset intends to address that bug and bring the behaviour of zone_reclaim() more in line with expectations which were noticed during investigation. It is based on top of mmotm and takes advantage of Kosaki's work with respect to zone_reclaim(). Patch 1 fixes the heuristics that zone_reclaim() uses to determine if the scan should go ahead. The broken heuristic is what was causing the malloc() stall as it uselessly scanned the LRU constantly. Currently, zone_reclaim is assuming zone_reclaim_mode is 1 and historically it could not deal with tmpfs pages at all. This fixes up the heuristic so that an unnecessary scan is more likely to be correctly avoided. Patch 2 notes that zone_reclaim() returning a failure automatically means the zone is marked full. This is not always true. It could have failed because the GFP mask or zone_reclaim_mode were unsuitable. Patch 3 introduces a counter zreclaim_failed that will increment each time the zone_reclaim scan-avoidance heuristics fail. If that counter is rapidly increasing, then zone_reclaim_mode should be set to 0 as a temporarily resolution and a bug reported because the scan-avoidance heuristic is still broken. This patch: On NUMA machines, the administrator can configure zone_reclaim_mode that is a more targetted form of direct reclaim. On machines with large NUMA distances for example, a zone_reclaim_mode defaults to 1 meaning that clean unmapped pages will be reclaimed if the zone watermarks are not being met. There is a heuristic that determines if the scan is worthwhile but the problem is that the heuristic is not being properly applied and is basically assuming zone_reclaim_mode is 1 if it is enabled. The lack of proper detection can manfiest as high CPU usage as the LRU list is scanned uselessly. Historically, once enabled it was depending on NR_FILE_PAGES which may include swapcache pages that the reclaim_mode cannot deal with. Patch vmscan-change-the-number-of-the-unmapped-files-in-zone-reclaim.patch by Kosaki Motohiro noted that zone_page_state(zone, NR_FILE_PAGES) included pages that were not file-backed such as swapcache and made a calculation based on the inactive, active and mapped files. This is far superior when zone_reclaim==1 but if RECLAIM_SWAP is set, then NR_FILE_PAGES is a reasonable starting figure. This patch alters how zone_reclaim() works out how many pages it might be able to reclaim given the current reclaim_mode. If RECLAIM_SWAP is set in the reclaim_mode it will either consider NR_FILE_PAGES as potential candidates or else use NR_{IN}ACTIVE}_PAGES-NR_FILE_MAPPED to discount swapcache and other non-file-backed pages. If RECLAIM_WRITE is not set, then NR_FILE_DIRTY number of pages are not candidates. If RECLAIM_SWAP is not set, then NR_FILE_MAPPED are not.

| * | | | | oom: move oom_adj value from task_struct to mm_structDavid Rientjes2009-06-16

If a task were to be killed while attached to an mm that could not be freed because another thread were set to OOM_DISABLE, it would have needlessly been terminated since there is no potential for future memory freeing. This patch moves oomkilladj (now more appropriately named oom_adj) from struct task_struct to struct mm_struct. This requires task_lock() on a task to check its oom_adj value to protect against exec, but it's already necessary to take the lock when dereferencing the mm to find the total VM size for the badness heuristic. This fixes a livelock if the oom killer chooses a task and another thread sharing the same memory has an oom_adj value of OOM_DISABLE. This occurs because oom_kill_task() repeatedly returns 1 and refuses to kill the chosen task while select_bad_process() will repeatedly choose the same task during the next retry. Taking task_lock() in select_bad_process() to check for OOM_DISABLE and in oom_kill_task() to check for threads sharing the same memory will be removed in the next patch in this series where it will no longer be necessary. Writing to /proc/pid/oom_adj for a kthread will now return -EINVAL since these threads are immune from oom killing already. They simply report an oom_adj value of OOM_DISABLE.
