      [PATCH] mm: flush_tlb_range outside ptlock · 663b97f7
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      There was one small but very significant change in the previous patch:
mprotect's flush_tlb_range fell outside the page_table_lock: as it is in 2.4,
but that doesn't prove it safe in 2.6.

On some architectures flush_tlb_range comes to the same as flush_tlb_mm, which
has always been called from outside page_table_lock in dup_mmap, and is so
proved safe.  Others required a deeper audit: I could find no reliance on
page_table_lock in any; but in ia64 and parisc found some code which looks a
bit as if it might want preemption disabled.  That won't do any actual harm,
so pending a decision from the maintainers, disable preemption there.

Remove comments on page_table_lock from flush_tlb_mm, flush_tlb_range and
flush_tlb_page entries in cachetlb.txt: they were rather misleading (what
generic code does is different from what usually happens), the rules are now
changing, and it's not yet clear where we'll end up (will the generic
tlb_flush_mmu happen always under lock?  never under lock?  or sometimes under
and sometimes not?).

      [PATCH] mm: m68k kill stram swap · f9c98d02
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      Please, please now delete the Atari CONFIG_STRAM_SWAP code.  It may be
excellent and ingenious code, but its reference to swap_vfsmnt betrays that it
hasn't been built since 2.5.1 (four years old come December), it's delving
deep into matters which are the preserve of core mm code, its only purpose is
to give the more conscientious mm guys an anxiety attack from time to time;
yet we keep on breaking it more and more.

If you want to use RAM for swap, then if the MTD driver does not already
provide just what you need, I'm sure David could be persuaded to add the
extra.  But you'd also like to be able to allocate extents of that swap for
other use: we can give you a core interface for that if you need.  But unbuilt
for four years suggests to me that there's no need at all.

I cannot swear the patch below won't break your build, but believe so.

      [PATCH] dell_rbu: changes in packet update mechanism · ad6ce87e
      由 Abhay Salunke 提交于 
      In the current dell_rbu code ver 2.0 the packet update mechanism makes the
user app dump every individual packet in to the driver.

This adds in efficiency as every packet update makes the
/sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading and data files to disappear and reappear
again.  Thus the user app needs to wait for the files to reappear to dump
another packet.  This slows down the packet update tremendously in case of
large number of packets.  I am submitting a new patch for dell_rbu which will
change the way we do packet updates;

In the new method the user app will create a new single file which has already
packetized the rbu image and all the packets are now staged in this file.

This driver also creates a new entry in
/sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/packet_size ; the user needs to echo the packet
size here before downloading the packet file.

The user should do the following:

 create one single file which has all the packets stacked together.
 echo the packet size in to /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/packet_size.
 echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading
 cat the packetfile > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/data
 echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading

The driver takes the file which came through /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/data
and takes chunks of paket_size data from it and place in contiguous memory.

This makes packet update process very efficient and fast.  As all the packet
update happens in one single operation.  The user can still read back the
downloaded file from /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/data.
