* | [PATCH] kdump: introduce "reset_devices" command line optionVivek Goyal2006-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Resetting the devices during driver initialization can be a costly operation in terms of time (especially scsi devices). This option can be used by drivers to know that user forcibly wants the devices to be reset during initialization. This option can be useful while kernel is booting in unreliable environment. For ex. during kdump boot where devices are in unknown random state and BIOS execution has been skipped.

* | [PATCH] NOMMU: Make futexes work under NOMMU conditionsDavid Howells2006-09-27

This can be tested by running this in one shell: #define SYSERROR(X, Y) \ do { if ((long)(X) == -1L) { perror(Y); exit(1); }} while(0) int main() { int shmid, tmp, *f, n; shmid = shmget(23, 4, IPC_CREAT|0666); SYSERROR(shmid, "shmget"); f = shmat(shmid, NULL, 0); SYSERROR(f, "shmat"); n = *f; printf("WAIT: %p{%x}\n", f, n); tmp = futex(f, FUTEX_WAIT, n, NULL, NULL, 0); SYSERROR(tmp, "futex"); printf("WAITED: %d\n", tmp); tmp = shmdt(f); SYSERROR(tmp, "shmdt"); exit(0); } And then this in the other shell: #define SYSERROR(X, Y) \ do { if ((long)(X) == -1L) { perror(Y); exit(1); }} while(0) int main() { int shmid, tmp, *f; shmid = shmget(23, 4, IPC_CREAT|0666); SYSERROR(shmid, "shmget"); f = shmat(shmid, NULL, 0); SYSERROR(f, "shmat"); (*f)++; printf("WAKE: %p{%x}\n", f, *f); tmp = futex(f, FUTEX_WAKE, 1, NULL, NULL, 0); SYSERROR(tmp, "futex"); printf("WOKE: %d\n", tmp); tmp = shmdt(f); SYSERROR(tmp, "shmdt"); exit(0); } The first program will set up a SYSV IPC SHM segment and wait on a futex in it for the number at the start to change. The program will increment that number and wake the first program up.

| * [PATCH] x86: Allow disabling early pci scans with pci=noearly or disallowing ↵Andi Kleen2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | conf1 Some buggy systems can machine check when config space accesses happen for some non existent devices. i386/x86-64 do some early device scans that might trigger this. Allow pci=noearly to disable this. Also when type 1 is disabling also don't do any early accesses which are always type1. This moves the pci= configuration parsing to be a early parameter. I don't think this can break anything because it only changes a single global that is only used by PCI.

* | [PATCH] zone_reclaim: dynamic slab reclaimChristoph Lameter2006-09-26
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently one can enable slab reclaim by setting an explicit option in /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode. Slab reclaim is then used as a final option if the freeing of unmapped file backed pages is not enough to free enough pages to allow a local allocation. However, that means that the slab can grow excessively and that most memory of a node may be used by slabs. We have had a case where a machine with 46GB of memory was using 40-42GB for slab. Zone reclaim was effective in dealing with pagecache pages. However, slab reclaim was only done during global reclaim (which is a bit rare on NUMA systems). This patch implements slab reclaim during zone reclaim. Zone reclaim occurs if there is a danger of an off node allocation. At that point we 1. Shrink the per node page cache if the number of pagecache pages is more than min_unmapped_ratio percent of pages in a zone. 2. Shrink the slab cache if the number of the nodes reclaimable slab pages (patch depends on earlier one that implements that counter) are more than min_slab_ratio (a new /proc/sys/vm tunable). The shrinking of the slab cache is a bit problematic since it is not node specific. So we simply calculate what point in the slab we want to reach (current per node slab use minus the number of pages that neeed to be allocated) and then repeately run the global reclaim until that is unsuccessful or we have reached the limit. I hope we will have zone based slab reclaim at some point which will make that easier. The default for the min_slab_ratio is 5% Also remove the slab option from /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode.
