      ARM: omap: allow building omap44xx without SMP · c7a9b09b
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      The new omap4 cpuidle implementation currently requires
      ARCH_NEEDS_CPU_IDLE_COUPLED, which only works on SMP.
      
      This patch makes it possible to build a non-SMP kernel
      for that platform. This is not normally desired for
      end-users but can be useful for testing.
      
      Without this patch, building rand-0y2jSKT results in:
      
      drivers/cpuidle/coupled.c: In function 'cpuidle_coupled_poke':
      drivers/cpuidle/coupled.c:317:3: error: implicit declaration of function '__smp_call_function_single' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
      
      It's not clear if this patch is the best solution for
      the problem at hand. I have made sure that we can now
      build the kernel in all configurations, but that does
      not mean it will actually work on an OMAP44xx.

      mm: compaction: Abort async compaction if locks are contended or taking too long · c67fe375
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      Jim Schutt reported a problem that pointed at compaction contending
      heavily on locks.  The workload is straight-forward and in his own words;
      
      	The systems in question have 24 SAS drives spread across 3 HBAs,
      	running 24 Ceph OSD instances, one per drive.  FWIW these servers
      	are dual-socket Intel 5675 Xeons w/48 GB memory.  I've got ~160
      	Ceph Linux clients doing dd simultaneously to a Ceph file system
      	backed by 12 of these servers.
      
      Early in the test everything looks fine

      There was other data but primarily it is all showing that compaction is
      contended heavily on the zone->lock and zone->lru_lock.
      
      commit [b2eef8c0: mm: compaction: minimise the time IRQs are disabled
      while isolating pages for migration] noted that it was possible for
      migration to hold the lru_lock for an excessive amount of time. Very
      broadly speaking this patch expands the concept.
      
      This patch introduces compact_checklock_irqsave() to check if a lock
      is contended or the process needs to be scheduled. If either condition
      is true then async compaction is aborted and the caller is informed.
      The page allocator will fail a THP allocation if compaction failed due
      to contention. This patch also introduces compact_trylock_irqsave()
      which will acquire the lock only if it is not contended and the process
      does not need to schedule.

      TTY: pass flags to alloc_tty_driver · 7f0bc6a6
      Jiri Slaby 提交于
      We need to allow drivers that use neither tty_port_install nor
      tty_port_register_device to link a tty_port to a tty somehow.  To
      avoid a race with open, this has to be performed before
      tty_register_device. But currently tty_driver->ports is allocated even
      in tty_register_device because we do not know whether this is the PTY
      driver. The PTY driver is special here due to an excessive count of
      lines it declares to handle. We cannot handle tty_ports there this
      way.
      
      To circumvent this, we start passing tty_driver flags to
      alloc_tty_driver already and we create tty_alloc_driver for this
      purpose. There we can allocate tty_driver->ports and do all the magic
      between tty_alloc_driver and tty_register_device. Later we will
      introduce tty_port_link_device function for that purpose.
      
      All drivers should eventually switch to this new tty driver allocation
      interface.
