* [PATCH] ppc32: Modify Freescale MPC52xx IRQ mapping to _not_ use irq 0Sylvain Munaut2006-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | AFAIK IRQ number 0 is a perfectly valid IRQ number. But it seems there are numerous places where it's considered to be invalid or "no irq" value. Since that value is problematic, the IRQ mapping is changed to not use it.

* [PATCH] atomic_long_t & include/asm-generic/atomic.h V2Christoph Lameter2006-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Several counters already have the need to use 64 atomic variables on 64 bit platforms (see mm_counter_t in sched.h). We have to do ugly ifdefs to fall back to 32 bit atomic on 32 bit platforms. The VM statistics patch that I am working on will also make more extensive use of atomic64. This patch introduces a new type atomic_long_t by providing definitions in asm-generic/atomic.h that works similar to the c "long" type. Its 32 bits on 32 bit platforms and 64 bits on 64 bit platforms. Also cleans up the determination of the mm_counter_t in sched.h.

* [PATCH] mm: move determination of policy_zone into page allocatorChristoph Lameter2006-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the function to build a zonelist for a BIND policy has the side effect to set the policy_zone. This seems to be a bit strange. policy zone seems to not be initialized elsewhere and therefore 0. Do we police ZONE_DMA if no bind policy has been used yet? This patch moves the determination of the zone to apply policies to into the page allocator. We determine the zone while building the zonelist for nodes.

* [PATCH] sparsemem: provide pfn_to_nidAndy Whitcroft2006-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before SPARSEMEM is initialised we cannot provide an efficient pfn_to_nid() implmentation; before initialisation is complete we use early_pfn_to_nid() to provide location information. Until recently there was no non-init user of this functionality. Provide a post init pfn_to_nid() implementation. Note that this implmentation assumes that the pfn passed has been validated with pfn_valid(). The current single user of this function already has this check.

* [PATCH] flatmem split out memory modelAndy Whitcroft2006-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are three places we define pfn_to_nid(). Two in linux/mmzone.h and one in asm/mmzone.h. These in essence represent the three memory models. The definition in linux/mmzone.h under !NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES is both the FLATMEM definition and the optimisation for single NUMA nodes; the one under SPARSEMEM is the NUMA sparsemem one; the one in asm/mmzone.h under DISCONTIGMEM is the discontigmem one. This is not in the least bit obvious, particularly the connection between the non-NUMA optimisations and the memory models. Two patches: flatmem-split-out-memory-model: simplifies the selection of pfn_to_nid() implementations. The selection is based primarily off the memory model selected. Optimisations for non-NUMA are applied where needed. sparse-provide-pfn_to_nid: implement pfn_to_nid() for SPARSEMEM This patch: pfn_to_nid is memory model specific The pfn_to_nid() call is memory model specific. It represents the locality identifier for the memory passed. Classically this would be a NUMA node, but not a chunk of memory under DISCONTIGMEM. The SPARSEMEM and FLATMEM memory model non-NUMA versions of pfn_to_nid() are folded together under NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES, while DISCONTIGMEM has its own optimisation. This is all very confusing. This patch splits out each implementation of pfn_to_nid() so that we can see them and the optimisations to each.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | mempolicy.c contains provisional interface for huge page allocation based on node numbers. This is in use in SLES9 but was never used (AFAIK) in upstream versions of Linux. Huge page allocations now use zonelists to figure out where to allocate pages. The use of zonelists allows us to find the closest hugepage which was the consideration of the NUMA distance for huge page allocations. Remove the obsolete functions.

* [PATCH] madvise(MADV_REMOVE): remove pages from tmpfs shm backing storeBadari Pulavarty2006-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here is the patch to implement madvise(MADV_REMOVE) - which frees up a given range of pages & its associated backing store. Current implementation supports only shmfs/tmpfs and other filesystems return -ENOSYS. "Some app allocates large tmpfs files, then when some task quits and some client disconnect, some memory can be released. However the only way to release tmpfs-swap is to MADV_REMOVE". - Andrea Arcangeli Databases want to use this feature to drop a section of their bufferpool (shared memory segments) - without writing back to disk/swap space. This feature is also useful for supporting hot-plug memory on UML. Concerns raised by Andrew Morton: - "We have no plan for holepunching! If we _do_ have such a plan (or might in the future) then what would the API look like? I think sys_holepunch(fd, start, len), so we should start out with that." - Using madvise is very weird, because people will ask "why do I need to mmap my file before I can stick a hole in it?" - None of the other madvise operations call into the filesystem in this manner. A broad question is: is this capability an MM operation or a filesytem operation? truncate, for example, is a filesystem operation which sometimes has MM side-effects. madvise is an mm operation and with this patch, it gains FS side-effects, only they're really, really significant ones." Comments: - Andrea suggested the fs operation too but then it's more efficient to have it as a mm operation with fs side effects, because they don't immediatly know fd and physical offset of the range. It's possible to fixup in userland and to use the fs operation but it's more expensive, the vmas are already in the kernel and we can use them. Short term plan & Future Direction: - We seem to need this interface only for shmfs/tmpfs files in the short term. We have to add hooks into the filesystem for correctness and completeness. This is what this patch does. - In the future, plan is to support both fs and mmap apis also. This also involves (other) filesystem specific functions to be implemented. - Current patch doesn't support VM_NONLINEAR - which can be addressed in the future.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes truncate_inode_pages_range from truncate_inode_pages. truncate_inode_pages became a one-liner call to truncate_inode_pages_range. Reiser4 needs truncate_inode_pages_ranges because it tries to keep correspondence between existences of metadata pointing to data pages and pages to which those metadata point to. So, when metadata of certain part of file is removed from filesystem tree, only pages of corresponding range are to be truncated.

* [PATCH] nbd: fix TX/RX race conditionHerbert Xu2006-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Janos Haar of First NetCenter Bt. reported numerous crashes involving the NBD driver. With his help, this was tracked down to bogus bio vectors which in turn was the result of a race condition between the receive/transmit routines in the NBD driver. The bug manifests itself like this: CPU0 CPU1 do_nbd_request add req to queuelist nbd_send_request send req head for each bio kmap send nbd_read_stat nbd_find_request nbd_end_request kunmap When CPU1 finishes nbd_end_request, the request and all its associated bio's are freed. So when CPU0 calls kunmap whose argument is derived from the last bio, it may crash. Under normal circumstances, the race occurs only on the last bio. However, if an error is encountered on the remote NBD server (such as an incorrect magic number in the request), or if there were a bug in the server, it is possible for the nbd_end_request to occur any time after the request's addition to the queuelist. The following patch fixes this problem by making sure that requests are not added to the queuelist until after they have been completed transmission. In order for the receiving side to be ready for responses involving requests still being transmitted, the patch introduces the concept of the active request. When a response matches the current active request, its processing is delayed until after the tranmission has come to a stop. This has been tested by Janos and it has been successful in curing this race condition. From: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Here is an updated patch which removes the active_req wait in nbd_clear_queue and the associated memory barrier. I've also clarified this in the comment.

| * [PATCH] add AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE, prepend AOP_ to WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATEZach Brown2006-01-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | readpage(), prepare_write(), and commit_write() callers are updated to understand the special return code AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE in the style of writepage() and WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE. AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE tells the caller that the callee has unlocked the page and that the operation should be tried again with a new page. OCFS2 uses this to detect and work around a lock inversion in its aop methods. There should be no change in behaviour for methods that don't return AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE. WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE is also prepended with AOP_ for consistency and they are made enums so that kerneldoc can be used to document their semantics. Signed-off-by: Zach Brown <zach.brown@oracle.com>

| * | [PATCH] driver core: replace "hotplug" by "uevent"Kay Sievers2006-01-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Leave the overloaded "hotplug" word to susbsystems which are handling real devices. The driver core does not "plug" anything, it just exports the state to userspace and generates events.

| * | [PATCH] merge kobject_uevent and kobject_hotplugKay Sievers2006-01-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The distinction between hotplug and uevent does not make sense these days, netlink events are the default. udev depends entirely on netlink uevents. Only during early boot and in initramfs, /sbin/hotplug is needed. So merge the two functions and provide only one interface without all the options. The netlink layer got a nice generic interface with named slots recently, which is probably a better facility to plug events for subsystem specific events. Also the new poll() interface to /proc/mounts is a nicer way to notify about changes than sending events through the core. The uevents should only be used for driver core related requests to userspace now. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
| * | [PATCH] remove mount/umount uevents from superblock handlingKay Sievers2006-01-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The names of these events have been confusing from the beginning on, as they have been more like claim/release events. We needed these events for noticing HAL if storage devices have been mounted. Thanks to Al, we have the proper solution now and can poll() /proc/mounts instead to get notfied about mount tree changes.

| * | [PATCH] remove CONFIG_KOBJECT_UEVENT optionKay Sievers2006-01-04
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It makes zero sense to have hotplug, but not the netlink events enabled today. Remove this option and merge the kobject_uevent.h header into the kobject.h header file. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
