      [PATCH] Get rid of zone_table[] · 89689ae7
      由 Christoph Lameter 提交于 
      The zone table is mostly not needed.  If we have a node in the page flags
then we can get to the zone via NODE_DATA() which is much more likely to be
already in the cpu cache.

In case of SMP and UP NODE_DATA() is a constant pointer which allows us to
access an exact replica of zonetable in the node_zones field.  In all of
the above cases there will be no need at all for the zone table.

The only remaining case is if in a NUMA system the node numbers do not fit
into the page flags.  In that case we make sparse generate a table that
maps sections to nodes and use that table to to figure out the node number.
 This table is sized to fit in a single cache line for the known 32 bit
NUMA platform which makes it very likely that the information can be
obtained without a cache miss.

For sparsemem the zone table seems to be have been fairly large based on
the maximum possible number of sections and the number of zones per node.
There is some memory saving by removing zone_table.  The main benefit is to
reduce the cache foootprint of the VM from the frequent lookups of zones.
Plus it simplifies the page allocator.

      [PATCH] memory page alloc minor cleanups · 0798e519
      由 Paul Jackson 提交于 
      - s/freeliest/freelist/ spelling fix

- Check for NULL *z zone seems useless - even if it could happen, so
  what?  Perhaps we should have a check later on if we are faced with an
  allocation request that is not allowed to fail - shouldn't that be a
  serious kernel error, passing an empty zonelist with a mandate to not
  fail?

- Initializing 'z' to zonelist->zones can wait until after the first
  get_page_from_freelist() fails; we only use 'z' in the wakeup_kswapd()
  loop, so let's initialize 'z' there, in a 'for' loop.  Seems clearer.

- Remove superfluous braces around a break

- Fix a couple errant spaces

- Adjust indentation on the cpuset_zone_allowed() check, to match the
  lines just before it -- seems easier to read in this case.

- Add another set of braces to the zone_watermark_ok logic

From: Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com>

  Backout one item from a previous "memory page_alloc minor cleanups" patch.
   Until and unless we are certain that no one can ever pass an empty zonelist
  to __alloc_pages(), this check for an empty zonelist (or some BUG
  equivalent) is essential.  The code in get_page_from_freelist() blow ups if
  passed an empty zonelist.

      [PATCH] skip data conversion in compat_sys_mount when data_page is NULL · 822191a2
      由 Andrey Mirkin 提交于 
      OpenVZ Linux kernel team has found a problem with mounting in compat mode.

Simple command "mount -t smbfs ..." on Fedora Core 5 distro in 32-bit mode
leads to oops:

  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000 RIP: compat_sys_mount+0xd6/0x290
  Process mount (pid: 14656, veid=300, threadinfo ffff810034d30000, task ffff810034c86bc0)
  Call Trace: ia32_sysret+0x0/0xa

The problem is that data_page pointer can be NULL, so we should skip data
conversion in this case.

      [PATCH] add bottom_half.h · 676dcb8b
      由 Andrew Morton 提交于 
      With CONFIG_SMP=n:

  drivers/input/ff-memless.c:384: warning: implicit declaration of function 'local_bh_disable'
  drivers/input/ff-memless.c:393: warning: implicit declaration of function 'local_bh_enable'

Really linux/spinlock.h should include linux/interrupt.h.  But interrupt.h
includes sched.h which will need spinlock.h.

So the patch breaks the _bh declarations out into a separate header and
includes it in both interrupt.h and spinlock.h.
