Before SPARSEMEM is initialised we cannot provide an efficient pfn_to_nid() implmentation; before initialisation is complete we use early_pfn_to_nid() to provide location information. Until recently there was no non-init user of this functionality. Provide a post init pfn_to_nid() implementation. Note that this implmentation assumes that the pfn passed has been validated with pfn_valid(). The current single user of this function already has this check.

There are three places we define pfn_to_nid(). Two in linux/mmzone.h and one in asm/mmzone.h. These in essence represent the three memory models. The definition in linux/mmzone.h under !NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES is both the FLATMEM definition and the optimisation for single NUMA nodes; the one under SPARSEMEM is the NUMA sparsemem one; the one in asm/mmzone.h under DISCONTIGMEM is the discontigmem one. This is not in the least bit obvious, particularly the connection between the non-NUMA optimisations and the memory models. Two patches: flatmem-split-out-memory-model: simplifies the selection of pfn_to_nid() implementations. The selection is based primarily off the memory model selected. Optimisations for non-NUMA are applied where needed. sparse-provide-pfn_to_nid: implement pfn_to_nid() for SPARSEMEM This patch: pfn_to_nid is memory model specific The pfn_to_nid() call is memory model specific. It represents the locality identifier for the memory passed. Classically this would be a NUMA node, but not a chunk of memory under DISCONTIGMEM. The SPARSEMEM and FLATMEM memory model non-NUMA versions of pfn_to_nid() are folded together under NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES, while DISCONTIGMEM has its own optimisation. This is all very confusing. This patch splits out each implementation of pfn_to_nid() so that we can see them and the optimisations to each.

mempolicy.c contains provisional interface for huge page allocation based on node numbers. This is in use in SLES9 but was never used (AFAIK) in upstream versions of Linux. Huge page allocations now use zonelists to figure out where to allocate pages. The use of zonelists allows us to find the closest hugepage which was the consideration of the NUMA distance for huge page allocations. Remove the obsolete functions.

Here is the patch to implement madvise(MADV_REMOVE) - which frees up a given range of pages & its associated backing store. Current implementation supports only shmfs/tmpfs and other filesystems return -ENOSYS. "Some app allocates large tmpfs files, then when some task quits and some client disconnect, some memory can be released. However the only way to release tmpfs-swap is to MADV_REMOVE". - Andrea Arcangeli Databases want to use this feature to drop a section of their bufferpool (shared memory segments) - without writing back to disk/swap space. This feature is also useful for supporting hot-plug memory on UML. Concerns raised by Andrew Morton: - "We have no plan for holepunching! If we _do_ have such a plan (or might in the future) then what would the API look like? I think sys_holepunch(fd, start, len), so we should start out with that." - Using madvise is very weird, because people will ask "why do I need to mmap my file before I can stick a hole in it?" - None of the other madvise operations call into the filesystem in this manner. A broad question is: is this capability an MM operation or a filesytem operation? truncate, for example, is a filesystem operation which sometimes has MM side-effects. madvise is an mm operation and with this patch, it gains FS side-effects, only they're really, really significant ones." Comments: - Andrea suggested the fs operation too but then it's more efficient to have it as a mm operation with fs side effects, because they don't immediatly know fd and physical offset of the range. It's possible to fixup in userland and to use the fs operation but it's more expensive, the vmas are already in the kernel and we can use them. Short term plan & Future Direction: - We seem to need this interface only for shmfs/tmpfs files in the short term. We have to add hooks into the filesystem for correctness and completeness. This is what this patch does. - In the future, plan is to support both fs and mmap apis also. This also involves (other) filesystem specific functions to be implemented. - Current patch doesn't support VM_NONLINEAR - which can be addressed in the future.

This patch makes truncate_inode_pages_range from truncate_inode_pages. truncate_inode_pages became a one-liner call to truncate_inode_pages_range. Reiser4 needs truncate_inode_pages_ranges because it tries to keep correspondence between existences of metadata pointing to data pages and pages to which those metadata point to. So, when metadata of certain part of file is removed from filesystem tree, only pages of corresponding range are to be truncated.

由 Herbert Xu 提交于
Janos Haar of First NetCenter Bt. reported numerous crashes involving the NBD driver. With his help, this was tracked down to bogus bio vectors which in turn was the result of a race condition between the receive/transmit routines in the NBD driver. The bug manifests itself like this: CPU0 CPU1 do_nbd_request add req to queuelist nbd_send_request send req head for each bio kmap send nbd_read_stat nbd_find_request nbd_end_request kunmap When CPU1 finishes nbd_end_request, the request and all its associated bio's are freed. So when CPU0 calls kunmap whose argument is derived from the last bio, it may crash. Under normal circumstances, the race occurs only on the last bio. However, if an error is encountered on the remote NBD server (such as an incorrect magic number in the request), or if there were a bug in the server, it is possible for the nbd_end_request to occur any time after the request's addition to the queuelist. The following patch fixes this problem by making sure that requests are not added to the queuelist until after they have been completed transmission. In order for the receiving side to be ready for responses involving requests still being transmitted, the patch introduces the concept of the active request. When a response matches the current active request, its processing is delayed until after the tranmission has come to a stop. This has been tested by Janos and it has been successful in curing this race condition. From: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Here is an updated patch which removes the active_req wait in nbd_clear_queue and the associated memory barrier. I've also clarified this in the comment.

Here's the patch for modalias support for input classes. It uses comma-separated numbers, and doesn't describe all the potential keys (no module currently cares, and that would make the strings huge). The changes to input.h are to move the definitions needed by file2alias outside __KERNEL__. I chose not to move those definitions to mod_devicetable.h, because there are so many that it might break compile of something else in the kernel. The rest is fairly straightforward.

由 Kay Sievers 提交于
The distinction between hotplug and uevent does not make sense these days, netlink events are the default. udev depends entirely on netlink uevents. Only during early boot and in initramfs, /sbin/hotplug is needed. So merge the two functions and provide only one interface without all the options. The netlink layer got a nice generic interface with named slots recently, which is probably a better facility to plug events for subsystem specific events. Also the new poll() interface to /proc/mounts is a nicer way to notify about changes than sending events through the core. The uevents should only be used for driver core related requests to userspace now. Signed-off-by: NKay Sievers <kay.sievers@suse.de> Signed-off-by: NGreg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

This patch adds another usb-storage subdriver, which supports two fairly old dual-XD/SmartMedia reader-writers (USB1.1 devices). This driver was written by Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> -- he notes that he wrote this driver without specs, however a vendor-supplied GPL driver for the previous generation of products ("sma03") did prove to be quite useful, as did the sddr09 driver which also has to deal with low-level physical block layout on SmartMedia. The original patch has been reformed by me, as it clashed with the libusual patches. We really need to consolidate some of this common SmartMedia code, and get together with the MTD guys to share it with them as well.

This patch (as609) changes the way we keep track of power budgeting for USB hubs and devices, and it updates the choose_configuration routine to take this information into account. (This is something we should have been doing all along.) A new field in struct usb_device holds the amount of bus current available from the upstream port, and the usb_hub structure keeps track of the current available for each downstream port. Two new rules for configuration selection are added: Don't select a self-powered configuration when only bus power is available. Don't select a configuration requiring more bus power than is available. However the first rule is #if-ed out, because I found that the internal hub in my HP USB keyboard claims that its only configuration is self-powered. The rule would prevent the configuration from being chosen, leaving the hub & keyboard unconfigured. Since similar descriptor errors may turn out to be fairly common, it seemed wise not to include a rule that would break automatic configuration unnecessarily for such devices. The second rule may also trigger unnecessarily, although this should be less common. More likely it will annoy people by sometimes failing to accept configurations that should never have been chosen in the first place. The patch also changes usbcore's reaction when no configuration is suitable. Instead of raising an error and rejecting the device, now the core will simply leave the device unconfigured. People can always work around such problems by installing configurations manually through sysfs.

This patch (as605) removes the private udev->serialize semaphore, relying instead on the locking provided by the embedded struct device's semaphore. The changes are confined to the core, except that the usb_trylock_device routine now uses the return convention of down_trylock rather than down_read_trylock (they return opposite values for no good reason). A couple of other associated changes are included as well: Now that we aren't concerned about HCDs that avoid using the hcd glue layer, usb_disconnect no longer needs to acquire the usb_bus_lock -- that can be done by usb_remove_hcd where it belongs. Devices aren't locked over the same scope of code in usb_new_device and hub_port_connect_change as they used to be. This shouldn't cause any trouble.

From: Benjamin LaHaise <bcrl@kvack.org> In __alloc_skb(), the use of skb_shinfo() which casts a u8 * to the shared info structure results in gcc being forced to do a reload of the pointer since it has no information on possible aliasing. Fix this by using a pointer to refer to skb_shared_info. By initializing skb_shared_info sequentially, the write combining buffers can reduce the number of memory transactions to a single write. Reorder the initialization in __alloc_skb() to match the structure definition. There is also an alignment issue on 64 bit systems with skb_shared_info by converting nr_frags to a short everything packs up nicely. Also, pass the slab cache pointer according to the fclone flag instead of using two almost identical function calls.
