      [PATCH] clean up lock_cpu_hotplug() in cpufreq · a9d9baa1
      Ashok Raj 提交于
      There are some callers in cpufreq hotplug notify path that the lowest
      function calls lock_cpu_hotplug().  The lock is already held during
      cpu_up() and cpu_down() calls when the notify calls are broadcast to
      registered clients.
      
      Ideally if possible, we could disable_preempt() at the highest caller and
      make sure we dont sleep in the path down in cpufreq->driver_target() calls
      but the calls are so intertwined and cumbersome to cleanup.
      
      Hence we consistently use lock_cpu_hotplug() and unlock_cpu_hotplug() in
      all places.
      
       - Removed export of cpucontrol semaphore and made it static.
       - removed explicit uses of up/down with lock_cpu_hotplug()
         so we can keep track of the the callers in same thread context and
         just keep refcounts without calling a down() that causes a deadlock.
       - Removed current_in_hotplug() uses
       - Removed PF_HOTPLUG_CPU in sched.h introduced for the current_in_hotplug()
         temporary workaround.
      
      Tested with insmod of cpufreq_stat.ko, and logical online/offline
      to make sure we dont have any hang situations.

      mm: re-architect the VM_UNPAGED logic · 6aab341e
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This replaces the (in my opinion horrible) VM_UNMAPPED logic with very
      explicit support for a "remapped page range" aka VM_PFNMAP.  It allows a
      VM area to contain an arbitrary range of page table entries that the VM
      never touches, and never considers to be normal pages.
      
      Any user of "remap_pfn_range()" automatically gets this new
      functionality, and doesn't even have to mark the pages reserved or
      indeed mark them any other way.  It just works.  As a side effect, doing
      mmap() on /dev/mem works for arbitrary ranges.
      
      Sparc update from David in the next commit.
