| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds the necessary support to hpte_decode() to handle 1TB segments and 16GB pages, and removes an uninitialized value warning on avpn. We don't have any code to generate HPTEs for 1TB segments or 16GB pages yet, so this is mostly for completeness, and to fix the warning.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The rheap allocation functions return a pointer, but the actual value is based on how the heap was initialized, and so it can be anything, e.g. an offset into a buffer. A ulong is a better representation of the value returned by the allocation functions. This patch changes all of the relevant rheap functions to use a unsigned long integers instead of a pointer. In case of an error, the value returned is a negative error code that has been cast to an unsigned long. The caller can use the IS_ERR_VALUE() macro to check for this. All code which calls the rheap functions is updated accordingly. Macros IS_MURAM_ERR() and IS_DPERR(), have been deleted in favor of IS_ERR_VALUE(). Also added error checking to rh_attach_region().

| | * | | | acpi,msi-laptop: Fall back to EC polling mode for MSI laptop specific EC ↵Lennart Poettering2007-05-10
| | | |_|/ | | |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commands The ACPI EC that is used in MSI laptops knows some non-standard commands for changing the screen brighntess and a few other things, which are used by the msi-laptop.c driver. Unfortunately for these commands no GPE events for IBF and OBF are triggered. Since nowadays the EC code uses the ec_intr=1 mode by default, this causes these operations to timeout, although they don't fail. In result, all operations that you can do with the msi-laptop.c driver take more or less 1s to complete, which is awfully slow. In one of the more recent kernels (2.6.20?) the EC subsystem has been revamped. With that change the EC timeout has been increased. before that increase the MSI EC accesses were slow -- but not *that* slow, hence I took notice of this limitation of the MSI EC hardware only very recently. The standard EC operations on the MSI EC as defined in the ACPI spec support GPE events properly. The following patch adds a new argument "force_poll" to the ec_transaction() function (and friends). If set to 1, the function will poll for IBF/OBF even if ec_intr=1 is enabled. If set to 0 the current behaviour is used. The msi-laptop driver is modified to make use of this new flag, so that OBF/IBF is polled for the special MSI EC transactions -- but only for them.

Entering the kernel at startup_32 without passing our real mode data in %esi, and without guaranteeing that physical and virtual addresses are identity mapped makes head.S impossible to maintain. The only user of this infrastructure is lguest which is not merged so nothing we currently support will break by removing this over designed nightmare, and only the pending lguest patches will be affected. The pending Xen patches have a different entry point that they use. We are currently discussing what Xen and lguest need to do to boot the kernel in a more normal fashion so using startup_32 in this weird manner is clearly not their long term direction. So let's remove this code in head.S before it causes brain damage to people trying to maintain head.S Cc: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Cc: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Cc: Zachary Amsden <zach@vmware.com> CC: H.

* | | | | | slub: support concurrent local and remote frees and allocs on a slabChristoph Lameter2007-05-10

This patch avoids that need by moving all free objects onto a lockless_freelist. The regular freelist continues to exist and will be used to free objects. So while we consume the lockless_freelist the regular freelist may build up objects. If we are out of objects on the lockless_freelist then we may check the regular freelist. If it has objects then we move those over to the lockless_freelist and do this again. There is a significant savings in terms of atomic operations that have to be performed. We can even free directly to the lockless_freelist if we know that we are running on the same processor. So this speeds up short lived objects. They may be allocated and freed without taking the slab_lock. This is particular good for netperf. In order to maximize the effect of the new faster hotpath we extract the hottest performance pieces into inlined functions. These are then inlined into kmem_cache_alloc and kmem_cache_free. So hotpath allocation and freeing no longer requires a subroutine call within SLUB. [I am not sure that it is worth doing this because it changes the easy to read structure of slub just to reduce atomic ops. However, there is someone out there with a benchmark on 4 way and 8 way processor systems that seems to show a 5% regression vs. Slab. Seems that the regression is due to increased atomic operations use vs. SLAB in SLUB).

Because these adapters can also be used as ethernet NICs and Fibre Channel HBAs, the driver is split into two modules: mlx4_core: Handles low-level things like device initialization and processing firmware commands. Also controls resource allocation so that the InfiniBand, ethernet and FC functions can share a device without stepping on each other. mlx4_ib: Handles InfiniBand-specific things; plugs into the InfiniBand midlayer.

| * | | | IB: Put rlimit accounting struct in struct ib_umemRoland Dreier2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When memory pinned with ib_umem_get() is released, ib_umem_release() needs to subtract the amount of memory being unpinned from mm->locked_vm. However, ib_umem_release() may be called with mm->mmap_sem already held for writing if the memory is being released as part of an munmap() call, so it is sometimes necessary to defer this accounting into a workqueue. However, the work struct used to defer this accounting is dynamically allocated before it is queued, so there is the possibility of failing that allocation. If the allocation fails, then ib_umem_release has no choice except to bail out and leave the process with a permanently elevated locked_vm. Fix this by allocating the structure to defer accounting as part of the original struct ib_umem, so there's no possibility of failing a later allocation if creating the struct ib_umem and pinning memory succeeds.

Also move these functions to be in the ib_core module instead of ib_uverbs, so that driver modules using them do not depend on ib_uverbs. This has a number of advantages: - It is better design from the standpoint of making generic code a library that can be used or overridden by device-specific code as the details of specific devices dictate. - Drivers that do not need to pin userspace memory regions do not need to take the performance hit of calling ib_mem_get(). For example, although I have not tried to implement it in this patch, the ipath driver should be able to avoid pinning memory and just use copy_{to,from}_user() to access userspace memory regions. - Buffers that need special mapping treatment can be identified by the low-level driver. For example, it may be possible to solve some Altix-specific memory ordering issues with mthca CQs in userspace by mapping CQ buffers with extra flags. - Drivers that need to pin and DMA map userspace memory for things other than memory regions can use ib_umem_get() directly, instead of hacks using extra parameters to their reg_phys_mr method. For example, the mlx4 driver that is pending being merged needs to pin and DMA map QP and CQ buffers, but it does not need to create a memory key for these buffers. So the cleanest solution is for mlx4 to call ib_umem_get() in the create_qp and create_cq methods. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>

Quoth Neil Brown: "It causes an oops when auto-detecting raid arrays, and it doesn't seem easy to fix. The array may not be 'open' when do_md_run is called, so bdev->bd_disk might be NULL, so bd_set_size can oops. This whole approach of opening an md device before it has been assembled just seems to get more and more painful. I think I'm going to have to come up with something clever to provide both backward comparability with usage expectation, and sane integration into the rest of the kernel."

Fix it by adding new config option CONFIG_IDEPCI_PCIBUS (defined only when needed and invisible to the user) and covering by #ifdef/#endif the code in question. It turned out that "ide=reverse" was silently accepted but did nothing in case when IDE driver was modular, this is fixed now. Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com>
