      Documentation/process: kernel maintainer PGP guide · b72dde38
      Konstantin Ryabitsev 提交于
      This guide is an adapted version of the more general "Protecting Code
      Integrity" guide written and maintained by The Linux Foundation IT for
      use with open-source projects. It provides the oft-lacking guidance on
      the following topics:
      
      - how to properly protect one's PGP keys to minimize the risks of them
        being stolen and used maliciously to impersonate a kernel developer
      - how to configure Git to properly use GnuPG
      - when and how to use PGP with Git
      - how to verify fellow Linux Kernel developer identities
      
      I believe this document should live with the rest of the documentation
      describing proper processes one should follow when participating in
      kernel development. Placing it in a wiki on some place like kernel.org
      would be insufficient for a number of reasons -- primarily, because only
      a relatively small subset of maintainers have accounts on kernel.org,
      but also because even those who do rarely remember that such wiki
      exists. Keeping it with the rest of in-kernel docs should hopefully give
      it more visibility, but also help keep it up-to-date as tools and
      processes evolve.

      mm, hugetlb: remove hugepages_treat_as_movable sysctl · d6cb41cc
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      hugepages_treat_as_movable has been introduced by 396faf03 ("Allow
      huge page allocations to use GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE") to allow hugetlb
      allocations from ZONE_MOVABLE even when hugetlb pages were not
      migrateable.  The purpose of the movable zone was different at the time.
      It aimed at reducing memory fragmentation and hugetlb pages being long
      lived and large werre not contributing to the fragmentation so it was
      acceptable to use the zone back then.
      
      Things have changed though and the primary purpose of the zone became
      migratability guarantee.  If we allow non migrateable hugetlb pages to
      be in ZONE_MOVABLE memory hotplug might fail to offline the memory.
      
      Remove the knob and only rely on hugepage_migration_supported to allow
      movable zones.

      : Primarily it was aimed at allowing the hugetlb pool to safely shrink with
      : the ability to grow it again.  The use case was for batched jobs, some of
      : which needed huge pages and others that did not but didn't want the memory
      : useless pinned in the huge pages pool.

      : I suspect that more users rely on THP than hugetlbfs for flexible use of
      : huge pages with fallback options so I think that removing the option

      mm: show total hugetlb memory consumption in /proc/meminfo · fcb2b0c5
      Roman Gushchin 提交于
      Currently we display some hugepage statistics (total, free, etc) in
      /proc/meminfo, but only for default hugepage size (e.g.  2Mb).
      
      If hugepages of different sizes are used (like 2Mb and 1Gb on x86-64),
      /proc/meminfo output can be confusing, as non-default sized hugepages
      are not reflected at all, and there are no signs that they are existing
      and consuming system memory.
      
      To solve this problem, let's display the total amount of memory,
      consumed by hugetlb pages of all sized (both free and used).  Let's call
      it "Hugetlb", and display size in kB to match generic /proc/meminfo
      style.
      
      For example, (1024 2Mb pages and 2 1Gb pages are pre-allocated):
        $ cat /proc/meminfo
        MemTotal:        8168984 kB
        MemFree:         3789276 kB
        <...>
        CmaFree:               0 kB
        HugePages_Total:    1024
        HugePages_Free:     1024
        HugePages_Rsvd:        0
        HugePages_Surp:        0
        Hugepagesize:       2048 kB
        Hugetlb:         4194304 kB
        DirectMap4k:       32632 kB
        DirectMap2M:     4161536 kB
        DirectMap1G:     6291456 kB
      
      Also, this patch updates corresponding docs to reflect Hugetlb entry
      meaning and difference between Hugetlb and HugePages_Total * Hugepagesize.

      Documentation/pktgen: Clearify how-to use pktgen samples · d2ee7973
      Dmitry Safonov 提交于
      o Change process name in ps output: looks like, these days the process
        is named kpktgend_<cpu>, rather than pktgen/<cpu>.
      o Use pg_ctrl for start/stop as it can work well with pgset without
        changes to $(PGDEV) variable.
      o Clarify a bit needed $(PGDEV) definition for sample scripts and that
        one needs to `source functions.sh`.
      o Document how-to unset a behaviour flag, note about history expansion.
      o Fix pgset spi parameter value.
