      lib/bitmap.c: quiet sparse noise about address space · b9c321fd
      H Hartley Sweeten 提交于
      __bitmap_parse() and __bitmap_parselist() both take a pointer to a kernel
      buffer as a parameter and then cast it to a pointer to user buffer for use
      in cases when the parameter is_user indicates that the buffer is actually
      located in user space.  This casting, and the casts in the callers,
      results in sparse noise like the following:
      
      	warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces)
      	  expected char const [noderef] <asn:1>*ubuf
      	  got char const *buf
      	warning: cast removes address space of expression
      
      Since these casts are intentional, use __force to quiet the noise.

      lib, Make gen_pool memory allocator lockless · 7f184275
      Huang Ying 提交于
      This version of the gen_pool memory allocator supports lockless
      operation.
      
      This makes it safe to use in NMI handlers and other special
      unblockable contexts that could otherwise deadlock on locks.  This is
      implemented by using atomic operations and retries on any conflicts.
      The disadvantage is that there may be livelocks in extreme cases.  For
      better scalability, one gen_pool allocator can be used for each CPU.
      
      The lockless operation only works if there is enough memory available.
      If new memory is added to the pool a lock has to be still taken.  So
      any user relying on locklessness has to ensure that sufficient memory
      is preallocated.
      
      The basic atomic operation of this allocator is cmpxchg on long.  On
      architectures that don't have NMI-safe cmpxchg implementation, the
      allocator can NOT be used in NMI handler.  So code uses the allocator
      in NMI handler should depend on CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG.

      cpusets: randomize node rotor used in cpuset_mem_spread_node() · 778d3b0f
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      [ This patch has already been accepted as commit 0ac0c0d0 but later
        reverted (commit 35926ff5) because it itroduced arch specific
        __node_random which was defined only for x86 code so it broke other
        archs.  This is a followup without any arch specific code.  Other than
        that there are no functional changes.]
      
      Some workloads that create a large number of small files tend to assign
      too many pages to node 0 (multi-node systems).  Part of the reason is
      that the rotor (in cpuset_mem_spread_node()) used to assign nodes starts
      at node 0 for newly created tasks.
      
      This patch changes the rotor to be initialized to a random node number
      of the cpuset.

      bitmap, irq: add smp_affinity_list interface to /proc/irq · 4b060420
      Mike Travis 提交于
      Manually adjusting the smp_affinity for IRQ's becomes unwieldy when the
      cpu count is large.
      
      Setting smp affinity to cpus 256 to 263 would be:
      
      	echo 000000ff,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000 > smp_affinity
      
      instead of:
      
      	echo 256-263 > smp_affinity_list
      
      Think about what it looks like for cpus around say, 4088 to 4095.
      
      We already have many alternate "list" interfaces:
      
      /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/indexY/shared_cpu_list
      /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/thread_siblings_list
      /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_siblings_list
      /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/cpulist
      /sys/devices/pci***/***/local_cpulist
      
      Add a companion interface, smp_affinity_list to use cpu lists instead of
      cpu maps.  This conforms to other companion interfaces where both a map
      and a list interface exists.
      
      This required adding a bitmap_parselist_user() function in a manner
      similar to the bitmap_parse_user() function.

      bitmap_clear: Clear specified bit area
      bitmap_find_next_zero_area: Find free bit area

      - Use find_next_bit instead of doing test_bit for each bit
      
      - Rewrite bitmap_set and bitmap_clear
      
        Instead of setting or clearing for each bit.
      
      - Check the last bit of the limit

      - The return value if there is no zero area

      Make bitmask 'and' operators return a result code · f4b0373b

      When 'and'ing two bitmasks (where 'andnot' is a variation on it), some
      cases want to know whether the result is the empty set or not.  In
      particular, the TLB IPI sending code wants to do cpumask operations and
      determine if there are any CPU's left in the final set.
      
      So this just makes the bitmask (and cpumask) functions return a boolean
      for whether the result has any bits set.

      mempolicy: add bitmap_onto() and bitmap_fold() operations · 7ea931c9
      Paul Jackson 提交于
      The following adds two more bitmap operators, bitmap_onto() and bitmap_fold(),
      with the usual cpumask and nodemask wrappers.
      
      The bitmap_onto() operator computes one bitmap relative to another.  If the
      n-th bit in the origin mask is set, then the m-th bit of the destination mask
      will be set, where m is the position of the n-th set bit in the relative mask.
      
      The bitmap_fold() operator folds a bitmap into a second that has bit m set iff
      the input bitmap has some bit n set, where m == n mod sz, for the specified sz
      value.
      
      There are two substantive changes between this patch and its
      predecessor bitmap_relative:
       1) Renamed bitmap_relative() to be bitmap_onto().
       2) Added bitmap_fold().
      
      The essential motivation for bitmap_onto() is to provide a mechanism for
      converting a cpuset-relative CPU or Node mask to an absolute mask.  Cpuset
      relative masks are written as if the current task were in a cpuset whose CPUs
      or Nodes were just the consecutive ones numbered 0..N-1, for some N.  The
      bitmap_onto() operator is provided in anticipation of adding support for the
      first such cpuset relative mask, by the mbind() and set_mempolicy() system
      calls, using a planned flag of MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES.  These bitmap operators
      (and their nodemask wrappers, in particular) will be used in code that
      converts the user specified cpuset relative memory policy to a specific system
      node numbered policy, given the current mems_allowed of the tasks cpuset.
      
      Such cpuset relative mempolicies will address two deficiencies
      of the existing interface between cpusets and mempolicies:
       1) A task cannot at present reliably establish a cpuset
          relative mempolicy because there is an essential race
          condition, in that the tasks cpuset may be changed in
          between the time the task can query its cpuset placement,
          and the time the task can issue the applicable mbind or
          set_memplicy system call.
       2) A task cannot at present establish what cpuset relative
          mempolicy it would like to have, if it is in a smaller
          cpuset than it might have mempolicy preferences for,
          because the existing interface only allows specifying
          mempolicies for nodes currently allowed by the cpuset.
      
      Cpuset relative mempolicies are useful for tasks that don't distinguish
      particularly between one CPU or Node and another, but only between how many of
      each are allowed, and the proper placement of threads and memory pages on the
      various CPUs and Nodes available.
      
      The motivation for the added bitmap_fold() can be seen in the following
      example.
      
      Let's say an application has specified some mempolicies that presume 16 memory
      nodes, including say a mempolicy that specified MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES (cpuset
      relative) nodes 12-15.  Then lets say that application is crammed into a
      cpuset that only has 8 memory nodes, 0-7.  If one just uses bitmap_onto(),
      this mempolicy, mapped to that cpuset, would ignore the requested relative
      nodes above 7, leaving it empty of nodes.  That's not good; better to fold the
      higher nodes down, so that some nodes are included in the resulting mapped
      mempolicy.  In this case, the mempolicy nodes 12-15 are taken modulo 8 (the
      weight of the mems_allowed of the confining cpuset), resulting in a mempolicy
      specifying nodes 4-7.

      [PATCH] bitmap: parse input from kernel and user buffers · 01a3ee2b
      Reinette Chatre 提交于
      lib/bitmap.c:bitmap_parse() is a library function that received as input a
      user buffer.  This seemed to have originated from the way the write_proc
      function of the /proc filesystem operates.
      
      This has been reworked to not use kmalloc and eliminates a lot of
      get_user() overhead by performing one access_ok before using __get_user().
      
      We need to test if we are in kernel or user space (is_user) and access the
      buffer differently.  We cannot use __get_user() to access kernel addresses
      in all cases, for example in architectures with separate address space for
      kernel and user.
      
      This function will be useful for other uses as well; for example, taking
      input for /sysfs instead of /proc, so it was changed to accept kernel
      buffers.  We have this use for the Linux UWB project, as part as the
      upcoming bandwidth allocator code.
      
      Only a few routines used this function and they were changed too.
