      [PATCH] strndup_user() · 96840aa0
      由 Davi Arnaut 提交于 
      This patch series creates a strndup_user() function to easy copying C strings
from userspace.  Also we avoid common pitfalls like userspace modifying the
final \0 after the strlen_user().

      [PATCH] timer-irq-driven soft-watchdog, cleanups · 6687a97d
      由 Ingo Molnar 提交于 
      Make the softlockup detector purely timer-interrupt driven, removing
softirq-context (timer) dependencies.  This means that if the softlockup
watchdog triggers, it has truly observed a longer than 10 seconds
scheduling delay of a SCHED_FIFO prio 99 task.

(the patch also turns off the softlockup detector during the initial bootup
phase and does small style fixes)

      [PATCH] ide: Allow IDE interface to specify its not capable of 32-bit operations · 208a08f7
      由 Kumar Gala 提交于 
      In some embedded systems the IDE hardware interface may only support 16-bit
or smaller accesses.  Allow the interface to specify if this is the case
and don't allow the drive or user to override the setting.

      [PATCH] set_page_dirty() return value fixes · 4741c9fd
      由 Andrew Morton 提交于 
      We need set_page_dirty() to return true if it actually transitioned the page
from a clean to dirty state.  This wasn't right in a couple of places.  Do a
kernel-wide audit, fix things up.

This leaves open the possibility of returning a negative errno from
set_page_dirty() sometime in the future.  But we don't do that at present.

      [PATCH] fadvise(): write commands · ebcf28e1
      由 Andrew Morton 提交于 
      Add two new linux-specific fadvise extensions():

LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE: start async writeout of any dirty pages between file
offsets `offset' and `offset+len'.  Any pages which are currently under
writeout are skipped, whether or not they are dirty.

LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT: wait upon writeout of any dirty pages between file
offsets `offset' and `offset+len'.

By combining these two operations the application may do several things:

LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE: push some or all of the dirty pages at the disk.

LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT, LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE: push all of the currently dirty
pages at the disk.

LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT, LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE, LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT: push all
of the currently dirty pages at the disk, wait until they have been written.

It should be noted that none of these operations write out the file's
metadata.  So unless the application is strictly performing overwrites of
already-instantiated disk blocks, there are no guarantees here that the data
will be available after a crash.

To complete this suite of operations I guess we should have a "sync file
metadata only" operation.  This gives applications access to all the building
blocks needed for all sorts of sync operations.  But sync-metadata doesn't fit
well with the fadvise() interface.  Probably it should be a new syscall:
sys_fmetadatasync().

The patch also diddles with the meaning of `endbyte' in sys_fadvise64_64().
It is made to represent that last affected byte in the file (ie: it is
inclusive).  Generally, all these byterange and pagerange functions are
inclusive so we can easily represent EOF with -1.

As Ulrich notes, these two functions are somewhat abusive of the fadvise()
concept, which appears to be "set the future policy for this fd".

But these commands are a perfect fit with the fadvise() impementation, and
several of the existing fadvise() commands are synchronous and don't affect
future policy either.   I think we can live with the slight incongruity.

      [PATCH] cpuset memory spread slab cache optimizations · c61afb18
      由 Paul Jackson 提交于 
      The hooks in the slab cache allocator code path for support of NUMA
mempolicies and cpuset memory spreading are in an important code path.  Many
systems will use neither feature.

This patch optimizes those hooks down to a single check of some bits in the
current tasks task_struct flags.  For non NUMA systems, this hook and related
code is already ifdef'd out.

The optimization is done by using another task flag, set if the task is using
a non-default NUMA mempolicy.  Taking this flag bit along with the
PF_SPREAD_PAGE and PF_SPREAD_SLAB flag bits added earlier in this 'cpuset
memory spreading' patch set, one can check for the combination of any of these
special case memory placement mechanisms with a single test of the current
tasks task_struct flags.

This patch also tightens up the code, to save a few bytes of kernel text
space, and moves some of it out of line.  Due to the nested inlines called
from multiple places, we were ending up with three copies of this code, which
once we get off the main code path (for local node allocation) seems a bit
wasteful of instruction memory.

      [PATCH] cpuset memory spread slab cache implementation · 101a5001
      由 Paul Jackson 提交于 
      Provide the slab cache infrastructure to support cpuset memory spreading.

See the previous patches, cpuset_mem_spread, for an explanation of cpuset
memory spreading.

This patch provides a slab cache SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag.  If set in the
kmem_cache_create() call defining a slab cache, then any task marked with the
process state flag PF_MEMSPREAD will spread memory page allocations for that
cache over all the allowed nodes, instead of preferring the local (faulting)
node.

On systems not configured with CONFIG_NUMA, this results in no change to the
page allocation code path for slab caches.

On systems with cpusets configured in the kernel, but the "memory_spread"
cpuset option not enabled for the current tasks cpuset, this adds a call to a
cpuset routine and failed bit test of the processor state flag PF_SPREAD_SLAB.

For tasks so marked, a second inline test is done for the slab cache flag
SLAB_MEM_SPREAD, and if that is set and if the allocation is not
in_interrupt(), this adds a call to to a cpuset routine that computes which of
the tasks mems_allowed nodes should be preferred for this allocation.

==> This patch adds another hook into the performance critical
    code path to allocating objects from the slab cache, in the
    ____cache_alloc() chunk, below.  The next patch optimizes this
    hook, reducing the impact of the combined mempolicy plus memory
    spreading hooks on this critical code path to a single check
    against the tasks task_struct flags word.

This patch provides the generic slab flags and logic needed to apply memory
spreading to a particular slab.

A subsequent patch will mark a few specific slab caches for this placement
policy.
