      [PATCH] make valid_mmap_phys_addr_range() take a pfn · 06c67bef
      Lennert Buytenhek 提交于
      Newer ARMs have a 40 bit physical address space, but mapping physical
      memory above 4G needs a special page table format which we (currently?) do
      not use for userspace mappings, so what happens instead is that mapping an
      address >= 4G will happily discard the upper bits and wrap.
      
      There is a valid_mmap_phys_addr_range() arch hook where we could check for
      >= 4G addresses and deny the mapping, but this hook takes an unsigned long
      address:
      
      	static inline int valid_mmap_phys_addr_range(unsigned long addr, size_t size);
      
      And drivers/char/mem.c:mmap_mem() calls it like this:
      
      	static int mmap_mem(struct file * file, struct vm_area_struct * vma)
      	{
      		size_t size = vma->vm_end - vma->vm_start;
      
      		if (!valid_mmap_phys_addr_range(vma->vm_pgoff << PAGE_SHIFT, size))
      
      So that's not much help either.
      
      This patch makes the hook take a pfn instead of a phys address.

      [PATCH] tty: Remove include of screen_info.h from tty.h · 894673ee
      Jon Smirl 提交于
      screen_info.h doesn't have anything to do with the tty layer and shouldn't be
      included by tty.h.  This patches removes the include and modifies all users to
      directly include screen_info.h.  struct screen_info is mainly used to
      communicate with the console drivers in drivers/video/console.  Note that this
      patch touches every arch and I have no way of testing it.  If there is a
      mistake the worst thing that will happen is a compile error.

      [PATCH] i386/x86-64/ia64: Move polling flag into thread_info_status · 495ab9c0
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      During some profiling I noticed that default_idle causes a lot of
      memory traffic. I think that is caused by the atomic operations
      to clear/set the polling flag in thread_info. There is actually
      no reason to make this atomic - only the idle thread does it
      to itself, other CPUs only read it. So I moved it into ti->status.
      
      Converted i386/x86-64/ia64 for now because that was the easiest
      way to fix ACPI which also manipulates these flags in its idle
      function.

      [PATCH] vfs: add lock owner argument to flush operation · 75e1fcc0
      Miklos Szeredi 提交于
      Pass the POSIX lock owner ID to the flush operation.
      
      This is useful for filesystems which don't want to store any locking state
      in inode->i_flock but want to handle locking/unlocking POSIX locks
      internally.  FUSE is one such filesystem but I think it possible that some
      network filesystems would need this also.
      
      Also add a flag to indicate that a POSIX locking request was generated by
      close(), so filesystems using the above feature won't send an extra locking
      request in this case.

      [PATCH] page migration: sys_move_pages(): support moving of individual pages · 742755a1
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      move_pages() is used to move individual pages of a process. The function can
      be used to determine the location of pages and to move them onto the desired
      node. move_pages() returns status information for each page.
      
      long move_pages(pid, number_of_pages_to_move,
      		addresses_of_pages[],
      		nodes[] or NULL,
      		status[],
      		flags);
      
      The addresses of pages is an array of void * pointing to the
      pages to be moved.
      
      The nodes array contains the node numbers that the pages should be moved
      to. If a NULL is passed instead of an array then no pages are moved but
      the status array is updated. The status request may be used to determine
      the page state before issuing another move_pages() to move pages.
      
      The status array will contain the state of all individual page migration
      attempts when the function terminates. The status array is only valid if
      move_pages() completed successfullly.
      
      Possible page states in status[]:
      
      0..MAX_NUMNODES	The page is now on the indicated node.
      
      -ENOENT		Page is not present
      
      -EACCES		Page is mapped by multiple processes and can only
      		be moved if MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL is specified.
      
      -EPERM		The page has been mlocked by a process/driver and
      		cannot be moved.
      
      -EBUSY		Page is busy and cannot be moved. Try again later.
      
      -EFAULT		Invalid address (no VMA or zero page).
      
      -ENOMEM		Unable to allocate memory on target node.
      
      -EIO		Unable to write back page. The page must be written
      		back in order to move it since the page is dirty and the
      		filesystem does not provide a migration function that
      		would allow the moving of dirty pages.
      
      -EINVAL		A dirty page cannot be moved. The filesystem does not provide
      		a migration function and has no ability to write back pages.
      
      The flags parameter indicates what types of pages to move:
      
      MPOL_MF_MOVE	Move pages that are only mapped by the process.
      
      MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL Also move pages that are mapped by multiple processes.
      		Requires sufficient capabilities.
      
      Possible return codes from move_pages()
      
      -ENOENT		No pages found that would require moving. All pages
      		are either already on the target node, not present, had an
      		invalid address or could not be moved because they were
      		mapped by multiple processes.
      
      -EINVAL		Flags other than MPOL_MF_MOVE(_ALL) specified or an attempt
      		to migrate pages in a kernel thread.
      
      -EPERM		MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL specified without sufficient priviledges.
      		or an attempt to move a process belonging to another user.
      
      -EACCES		One of the target nodes is not allowed by the current cpuset.
      
      -ENODEV		One of the target nodes is not online.
      
      -ESRCH		Process does not exist.
      
      -E2BIG		Too many pages to move.
      
      -ENOMEM		Not enough memory to allocate control array.
      
      -EFAULT		Parameters could not be accessed.
      
      A test program for move_pages() may be found with the patches
      on ftp.kernel.org:/pub/linux/kernel/people/christoph/pmig/patches-2.6.17-rc4-mm3
      
      From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>
      
        Detailed results for sys_move_pages()
      
        Pass a pointer to an integer to get_new_page() that may be used to
        indicate where the completion status of a migration operation should be
        placed.  This allows sys_move_pags() to report back exactly what happened to
        each page.
      
        Wish there would be a better way to do this. Looks a bit hacky.

      [PATCH] change gen_pool allocator to not touch managed memory · 929f9727
      Dean Nelson 提交于
      Modify the gen_pool allocator (lib/genalloc.c) to utilize a bitmap scheme
      instead of the buddy scheme.  The purpose of this change is to eliminate
      the touching of the actual memory being allocated.
      
      Since the change modifies the interface, a change to the uncached allocator
      (arch/ia64/kernel/uncached.c) is also required.
      
      Both Andrey Volkov and Jes Sorenson have expressed a desire that the
      gen_pool allocator not write to the memory being managed. See the
      following:

      [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mount · 454e2398
      David Howells 提交于
      Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
      permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.
      
      The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
      pointers.  For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
      which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
      superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).
      
      The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
      superblock pointer.
      
      This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
      points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing.  In
      such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
      and mnt_sb would be set directly.
      
      The patch also makes the following changes:
      
       (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
           pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
           very little.
      
       (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
           normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
           always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().
      
       (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
           dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().
      
           This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
           aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
           currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
           and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
           dentries being left unculled.
      
           However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
           implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
           simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
           inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
           with child trees.
      
           [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.
      
       (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
           changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

      [IA64] rework memory attribute aliasing · 32e62c63
      Bjorn Helgaas 提交于
      This closes a couple holes in our attribute aliasing avoidance scheme:
      
        - The current kernel fails mmaps of some /dev/mem MMIO regions because
          they don't appear in the EFI memory map.  This keeps X from working
          on the Intel Tiger box.
      
        - The current kernel allows UC mmap of the 0-1MB region of
          /sys/.../legacy_mem even when the chipset doesn't support UC
          access.  This causes an MCA when starting X on HP rx7620 and rx8620
          boxes in the default configuration.
      
      There's more detail in the Documentation/ia64/aliasing.txt file this
      adds, but the general idea is that if a region might be covered by
      a granule-sized kernel identity mapping, any access via /dev/mem or
      mmap must use the same attribute as the identity mapping.
      
      Otherwise, we fall back to using an attribute that is supported
      according to the EFI memory map, or to using UC if the EFI memory
      map doesn't mention the region.
