* aoe: user can ask driver to forget previously detected devicesEd L. Cashin2008-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When an AoE device is detected, the kernel is informed, and a new block device is created. If the device is unused, the block device corresponding to remote device that is no longer available may be removed from the system by telling the aoe driver to "flush" its list of devices. Without this patch, software like GPFS and LVM may attempt to read from AoE devices that were discovered earlier but are no longer present, blocking until the I/O attempt times out.

* mn10300: add the MN10300/AM33 architecture to the kernelDavid Howells2008-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add architecture support for the MN10300/AM33 CPUs produced by MEI to the kernel. This patch also adds board support for the ASB2303 with the ASB2308 daughter board, and the ASB2305. The only processor supported is the MN103E010, which is an AM33v2 core plus on-chip devices.

Counters are placed in SLUB's per cpu data structure. The per cpu structure may be extended by the statistics to grow larger than one cacheline which will increase the cache footprint of SLUB. There is a compile option to enable/disable the inclusion of the runtime statistics and its off by default. The slabinfo tool is enhanced to support these statistics via two options: -D Switches the line of information displayed for a slab from size mode to activity mode. -A Sorts the slabs displayed by activity. This allows the display of the slabs most important to the performance of a certain load. -r Report option will report detailed statistics on Example (tbench load): slabinfo -AD ->Shows the most active slabs Name Objects Alloc Free %Fast skbuff_fclone_cache 33 111953835 111953835 99 99 :0000192 2666 5283688 5281047 99 99 :0001024 849 5247230 5246389 83 83 vm_area_struct 1349 119642 118355 91 22 :0004096 15 66753 66751 98 98 :0000064 2067 25297 23383 98 78 dentry 10259 28635 18464 91 45 :0000080 11004 18950 8089 98 98 :0000096 1703 12358 10784 99 98 :0000128 762 10582 9875 94 18 :0000512 184 9807 9647 95 81 :0002048 479 9669 9195 83 65 anon_vma 777 9461 9002 99 71 kmalloc-8 6492 9981 5624 99 97 :0000768 258 7174 6931 58 15 So the skbuff_fclone_cache is of highest importance for the tbench load. Pretty high load on the 192 sized slab.

RemoteObj/Froz: How many times were remotely freed object encountered when a slab was about to be deactivated. Frozen: How many times was free able to skip list processing because the slab was in use as the cpuslab of another processor. Flushes: Number of times the cpuslab was flushed on request (kmem_cache_shrink, may result from races in __slab_alloc) Refill: Number of times we were able to refill the cpuslab from remotely freed objects for the same slab. Deactivate: Statistics how slabs were deactivated. Shows how they were put onto the partial list. In general fastpath is very good. Slowpath without partial list processing is also desirable. Any touching of partial list uses node specific locks which may potentially cause list lock contention. Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>

The driver will report the reason of the last wake up in the sysfs attribute "wakeup_reason": 0 for "none, unknown, or standard ACPI wake up event", 1 for "bay ejection request" and 2 for "undock request". The firmware will also report if the operation that triggered the wake up has been completed, by issuing an HKEY 0x3003 or 0x4003 event. If the operation fails, no event is sent. When such a hotunplug sucessfull notification is issued, the driver sets the attribute "wakeup_hotunplug_complete" to 1. While the firmware does tell us whether we are waking from a suspend or hibernation scenario, the Linux way of hibernating makes this information not reliable, and therefore it is not reported. The idea is that if any of these attributes are non-zero, userspace might want to do something at the end of the "wake up from sleep" procedures, such as offering to send the machine back into sleep as soon as it is safe to do so.

For these models, one has to poll the CMOS NVRAM to check the key state at a rate faster than the expected rate at which the user might repeatedly press the same hot key. This patch implements this functionality for many of the hotkeys in a transparent way: hot keys will now Just Work, and the driver knows the best approach (events or NVRAM polling) to employ, based on the HKEY.MHKA ACPI method. Also, the driver can turn off the polling when there are no users for the hot keys that need such polling. The NVRAM-based hot keys of the A3x series that have never been implemented by later models are not supported, to avoid changes in the keymap of the input devices that could cause headaches in the future. There is a Kconfig option to avoid compiling the NVRAM polling code, as it is not very small, and unlikely to be useful on any ThinkPad newer than a T40, X31 or R52. This feature is based on a previous effort by Richard Hughes.

Furthermore, this removes the temptation to use iget() to find an inode by number in a filesystem from code outside that filesystem. iget_locked() should be used instead. A new function is added in an earlier patch (iget_failed) that is to be called to mark an inode as bad, unlock it and release it should the get routine fail. Mark iget() and read_inode() as being obsolete and remove references to them from the documentation. Typically a filesystem will be modified such that the read_inode function becomes an internal iget function, for example the following: void thingyfs_read_inode(struct inode *inode) { ... } would be changed into something like: struct inode *thingyfs_iget(struct super_block *sp, unsigned long ino) { struct inode *inode; int ret; inode = iget_locked(sb, ino); if (!inode) return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); if (!(inode->i_state & I_NEW)) return inode; ... unlock_new_inode(inode); return inode; error: iget_failed(inode); return ERR_PTR(ret); } and then thingyfs_iget() would be called rather than iget(), for example: ret = -EINVAL; inode = iget(sb, ino); if (!inode || is_bad_inode(inode)) goto error; becomes: inode = thingyfs_iget(sb, ino); if (IS_ERR(inode)) { ret = PTR_ERR(inode); goto error; } Note that is_bad_inode() does not need to be called. The error returned by thingyfs_iget() should render it unnecessary.
