* [PATCH] shmem: restore superblock infoHugh Dickins2005-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To improve shmem scalability, we allowed tmpfs instances which don't need their blocks or inodes limited not to count them, and not to allocate any sbinfo. Which was okay when the only use for the sbinfo was accounting blocks and inodes; but since then a couple of unrelated projects extending tmpfs want to store other data in the sbinfo. Whether either extension reaches mainline is beside the point: I'm guilty of a bad design decision, and should restore sbinfo to make any such future extensions easier. So, once again allocate a shmem_sb_info for every shmem/tmpfs instance, and now let max_blocks 0 indicate unlimited blocks, and max_inodes 0 unlimited inodes. Brent Casavant verified (many months ago) that this does not perceptibly impact the scalability (since the unlimited sbinfo cacheline is repeatedly accessed but only once dirtied). And merge shmem_set_size into its sole caller shmem_remount_fs.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The options FMV18X and SK_G16 do depend on the non-available CONFIG_OBSOLETE even in kernel 2.4 - IOW, the last time it was able to select them was in kernel 2.2 (or even before).

Please apply to Linux 2.6. Thanks. Changes: - doc updates - added Cisco LMI support to Frame-Relay code - cleaned hdlc_fr.c a bit, removed some orphaned #defines etc. - fixed a problem with non-functional LMI in FR DCE mode. - changed diagnostic messages to better conform to FR standards - all protocols: information about carrier changes (DCD line) is now printed to kernel logs.

* | | [PATCH] cpusets+hotplug+preepmt brokenPaul Jackson2005-05-20

Since the hotplug code is holding a spinlock at this point, we cannot take the cpuset semaphore, cpuset_sem, as would seem to be required either to update the tasks cpuset, or to scan up the nested cpuset chain, looking for the nearest cpuset ancestor that still has some CPUs that are online. So we just punt and blast the tasks cpus_allowed with all bits allowed. This reverts these lines of code to what they were before the cpuset patch. And it updates the cpuset Doc file, to match. The one known alternative to this that seems to work came from Dinakar Guniguntala, and required the hotplug code to take the cpuset_sem semaphore much earlier in its processing. So far as we know, the increased locking entanglement between cpusets and hot plug of this alternative approach is not worth doing in this case.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The driver model has a "detach_state" mechanism that: - Has never been used by any in-kernel drive; - Is superfluous, since driver remove() methods can do the same thing; - Became buggy when the suspend() parameter changed semantics and type; - Could self-deadlock when called from certain suspend contexts; - Is effectively wasted documentation, object code, and headspace. This removes that "detach_state" mechanism; net code shrink, as well as a per-device saving in the driver model and sysfs.
