      x86: Use syscore_ops instead of sysdev classes and sysdevs · f3c6ea1b
      由 Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于 
      Some subsystems in the x86 tree need to carry out suspend/resume and
shutdown operations with one CPU on-line and interrupts disabled and
they define sysdev classes and sysdevs or sysdev drivers for this
purpose.  This leads to unnecessarily complicated code and excessive
memory usage, so switch them to using struct syscore_ops objects for
this purpose instead.

Generally, there are three categories of subsystems that use
sysdevs for implementing PM operations: (1) subsystems whose
suspend/resume callbacks ignore their arguments entirely (the
majority), (2) subsystems whose suspend/resume callbacks use their
struct sys_device argument, but don't really need to do that,
because they can be implemented differently in an arguably simpler
way (io_apic.c), and (3) subsystems whose suspend/resume callbacks
use their struct sys_device argument, but the value of that argument
is always the same and could be ignored (microcode_core.c).  In all
of these cases the subsystems in question may be readily converted to
using struct syscore_ops objects for power management and shutdown.

      introduce sys_syncfs to sync a single file system · b7ed78f5
      由 Sage Weil 提交于 
      It is frequently useful to sync a single file system, instead of all
mounted file systems via sync(2):

 - On machines with many mounts, it is not at all uncommon for some of
   them to hang (e.g. unresponsive NFS server).  sync(2) will get stuck on
   those and may never get to the one you do care about (e.g., /).
 - Some applications write lots of data to the file system and then
   want to make sure it is flushed to disk.  Calling fsync(2) on each
   file introduces unnecessary ordering constraints that result in a large
   amount of sub-optimal writeback/flush/commit behavior by the file
   system.

There are currently two ways (that I know of) to sync a single super_block:

 - BLKFLSBUF ioctl on the block device: That also invalidates the bdev
   mapping, which isn't usually desirable, and doesn't work for non-block
   file systems.
 - 'mount -o remount,rw' will call sync_filesystem as an artifact of the
   current implemention.  Relying on this little-known side effect for
   something like data safety sounds foolish.

Both of these approaches require root privileges, which some applications
do not have (nor should they need?) given that sync(2) is an unprivileged
operation.

This patch introduces a new system call syncfs(2) that takes an fd and
syncs only the file system it references.  Maybe someday we can

 $ sync /some/path

and not get

 sync: ignoring all arguments

The syscall is motivated by comments by Al and Christoph at the last LSF.
syncfs(2) seems like an appropriate name given statfs(2).

A similar ioctl was also proposed a while back, see

      xen: update mask_rw_pte after kernel page tables init changes · d8aa5ec3
      由 Stefano Stabellini 提交于 
      After "x86-64, mm: Put early page table high" already existing kernel
page table pages can be mapped using early_ioremap too so we need to
update mask_rw_pte to make sure these pages are still mapped RO.
The reason why we have to do that is explain by the commit message of
fef5ba79:

"Xen requires that all pages containing pagetable entries to be mapped
read-only.  If pages used for the initial pagetable are already mapped
then we can change the mapping to RO.  However, if they are initially
unmapped, we need to make sure that when they are later mapped, they
are also mapped RO.

..SNIP..

the pagetable setup code early_ioremaps the pages to write their
entries, so we must make sure that mappings created in the early_ioremap
fixmap area are mapped RW.  (Those mappings are removed before the pages
are presented to Xen as pagetable pages.)"

We accomplish all this in mask_rw_pte by mapping RO all the pages mapped
using early_ioremap apart from the last one that has been allocated
because it is not a page table page yet (it has not been hooked into the
page tables yet).

      xen: set max_pfn_mapped to the last pfn mapped · 14988a4d
      由 Stefano Stabellini 提交于 
      Do not set max_pfn_mapped to the end of the initial memory mappings,
that also contain pages that don't belong in pfn space (like the mfn
list).

Set max_pfn_mapped to the last real pfn mapped in the initial memory
mappings that is the pfn backing _end.

      x86: Cleanup highmap after brk is concluded · e5f15b45
      由 Yinghai Lu 提交于 
      Now cleanup_highmap actually is in two steps: one is early in head64.c
and only clears above _end; a second one is in init_memory_mapping() and
tries to clean from _brk_end to _end.
It should check if those boundaries are PMD_SIZE aligned but currently
does not.
Also init_memory_mapping() is called several times for numa or memory
hotplug, so we really should not handle initial kernel mappings there.

This patch moves cleanup_highmap() down after _brk_end is settled so
we can do everything in one step.
Also we honor max_pfn_mapped in the implementation of cleanup_highmap.
