      [PATCH] Set CONFIG_ZONE_DMA for arches with GENERIC_ISA_DMA · 5ac6da66
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      As Andi pointed out: CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA only disables the ISA DMA
      channel management.  Other functionality may still expect GFP_DMA to
      provide memory below 16M.  So we need to make sure that CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is
      set independent of CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA.  Undo the modifications to
      mm/Kconfig where we made ZONE_DMA dependent on GENERIC_ISA_DMA and set
      theses explicitly in each arches Kconfig.
      
      Reviews must occur for each arch in order to determine if ZONE_DMA can be
      switched off.  It can only be switched off if we know that all devices
      supported by a platform are capable of performing DMA transfers to all of
      memory (Some arches already support this: uml, avr32, sh sh64, parisc and
      IA64/Altix).
      
      In order to switch ZONE_DMA off conditionally, one would have to establish
      a scheme by which one can assure that no drivers are enabled that are only
      capable of doing I/O to a part of memory, or one needs to provide an
      alternate means of performing an allocation from a specific range of memory
      (like provided by alloc_pages_range()) and insure that all drivers use that
      call.  In that case the arches alloc_dma_coherent() may need to be modified
      to call alloc_pages_range() instead of relying on GFP_DMA.

      [PATCH] fdtable: Make fdarray and fdsets equal in size · bbea9f69
      Vadim Lobanov 提交于
      Currently, each fdtable supports three dynamically-sized arrays of data: the
      fdarray and two fdsets.  The code allows the number of fds supported by the
      fdarray (fdtable->max_fds) to differ from the number of fds supported by each
      of the fdsets (fdtable->max_fdset).
      
      In practice, it is wasteful for these two sizes to differ: whenever we hit a
      limit on the smaller-capacity structure, we will reallocate the entire fdtable
      and all the dynamic arrays within it, so any delta in the memory used by the
      larger-capacity structure will never be touched at all.
      
      Rather than hogging this excess, we shouldn't even allocate it in the first
      place, and keep the capacities of the fdarray and the fdsets equal.  This
      patch removes fdtable->max_fdset.  As an added bonus, most of the supporting
      code becomes simpler.

      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      In light of the recent pagefault and filemap_copy_from_user work I've gone
      through all the arch pagefault handlers to make sure the inc_preempt_count()
      'feature' works as expected.
      
      Several sections of code (including the new filemap_copy_from_user) rely on
      the fact that faults do not take locks under increased preempt count.

      [PATCH] VFS: Make filldir_t and struct kstat deal in 64-bit inode numbers · afefdbb2
      David Howells 提交于
      These patches make the kernel pass 64-bit inode numbers internally when
      communicating to userspace, even on a 32-bit system.  They are required
      because some filesystems have intrinsic 64-bit inode numbers: NFS3+ and XFS
      for example.  The 64-bit inode numbers are then propagated to userspace
      automatically where the arch supports it.
      
      Problems have been seen with userspace (eg: ld.so) using the 64-bit inode
      number returned by stat64() or getdents64() to differentiate files, and
      failing because the 64-bit inode number space was compressed to 32-bits, and
      so overlaps occur.
      
      This patch:
      
      Make filldir_t take a 64-bit inode number and struct kstat carry a 64-bit
      inode number so that 64-bit inode numbers can be passed back to userspace.
      
      The stat functions then returns the full 64-bit inode number where
      available and where possible.  If it is not possible to represent the inode
      number supplied by the filesystem in the field provided by userspace, then
      error EOVERFLOW will be issued.
      
      Similarly, the getdents/readdir functions now pass the full 64-bit inode
      number to userspace where possible, returning EOVERFLOW instead when a
      directory entry is encountered that can't be properly represented.
      
      Note that this means that some inodes will not be stat'able on a 32-bit
      system with old libraries where they were before - but it does mean that
      there will be no ambiguity over what a 32-bit inode number refers to.
      
      Note similarly that directory scans may be cut short with an error on a
      32-bit system with old libraries where the scan would work before for the
      same reasons.
      
      It is judged unlikely that this situation will occur because modern glibc
      uses 64-bit capable versions of stat and getdents class functions
      exclusively, and that older systems are unlikely to encounter
      unrepresentable inode numbers anyway.

      [PATCH] const struct tty_operations · b68e31d0
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of
      structures in order to not have to document their locking.  One of these
      structures was a struct tty_operations.  In order to const it in UML
      without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of
      tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to
      be fixed.
      
      This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const.  In all
      cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations.  As an
      extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra
      warnings.
      
      53 drivers are affected.  I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in
      most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the
      last six months.  serial_core.c was the busiest one that I looked at.

      suppose it is just a bug.  I just remove that condition only instead of

      Atsushi Nemoto 提交于
      Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390
      timer interrupt handler with this change.
      
      Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but
      callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update.  Passing ticks
      get rid of this redundant calculation.  Also there are another redundancy
      pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky.
      
      This cleanup make a barrier added by
      5aee405c needless.  So this patch removes
      it.
      
      As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily, since now
      wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies.  (This patch does not really
      remove wall_jiffies.  It would be another cleanup patch)

      [PATCH] pidspace: is_init() · f400e198
      Sukadev Bhattiprolu 提交于
      This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch.
      (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280).  It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and
      replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init().
      
      Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other
      patches for now.
      
      Eric's original description:
      
      	There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init
      	because we give it special properties.  Most  significantly init
      	must not die.  This results in code all over the kernel test
      	->pid == 1.
      
      	Introduce is_init to capture this case.
      
      	With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are
      	looking for only the first process on the system, not some other
      	process that has pid == 1.
