This patchset introduces cleancache, an optional new feature exposed by the VFS layer that potentially dramatically increases page cache effectiveness for many workloads in many environments at a negligible cost. It does this by providing an interface to transcendent memory, which is memory/storage that is not otherwise visible to and/or directly addressable by the kernel. Instead of being discarded, hooks in the reclaim code "put" clean pages to cleancache. Filesystems that "opt-in" may "get" pages from cleancache that were previously put, but pages in cleancache are "ephemeral", meaning they may disappear at any time. And the size of cleancache is entirely dynamic and unknowable to the kernel. Filesystems currently supported by this patchset include ext3, ext4, btrfs, and ocfs2. Other filesystems (especially those built entirely on VFS) should be easy to add, but should first be thoroughly tested to ensure coherency. Details and a FAQ are provided in Documentation/vm/cleancache.txt This first patch of eight in this cleancache series only adds two new documentation files.

Manually adjusting the smp_affinity for IRQ's becomes unwieldy when the cpu count is large. Setting smp affinity to cpus 256 to 263 would be: echo 000000ff,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000 > smp_affinity instead of: echo 256-263 > smp_affinity_list Think about what it looks like for cpus around say, 4088 to 4095. We already have many alternate "list" interfaces: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/indexY/shared_cpu_list /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/thread_siblings_list /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_siblings_list /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/cpulist /sys/devices/pci***/***/local_cpulist Add a companion interface, smp_affinity_list to use cpu lists instead of cpu maps. This conforms to other companion interfaces where both a map and a list interface exists. This required adding a bitmap_parselist_user() function in a manner similar to the bitmap_parse_user() function.

The noswapaccount parameter has been deprecated since 2.6.38 without any complaints from users so we can remove it. swapaccount=0|1 can be used instead. As we are removing the parameter we can also clean up swapaccount because it doesn't have to accept an empty string anymore (to match noswapaccount) and so we can push = into __setup macro rather than checking "=1" resp.

cpumask_t is very big struct and cpu_vm_mask is placed wrong position. It might lead to reduce cache hit ratio. This patch has two change. 1) Move the place of cpumask into last of mm_struct. Because usually cpumask is accessed only front bits when the system has cpu-hotplug capability 2) Convert cpu_vm_mask into cpumask_var_t. It may help to reduce memory footprint if cpumask_size() will use nr_cpumask_bits properly in future. In addition, this patch change the name of cpu_vm_mask with cpu_vm_mask_var. It may help to detect out of tree cpu_vm_mask users. This patch has no functional change.

由 John Calixto 提交于
Allows appropriately-privileged applications to send CMD (normal) and ACMD (application-specific; preceded with CMD55) commands to cards/devices on the mmc bus. This is primarily useful for enabling the security functionality built in to every SD card. It can also be used as a generic passthrough (e.g. to enable virtual machines to control mmc bus devices directly). However, this use case has not been tested rigorously. Generic passthrough testing was only conducted for a few non-security opcodes to prove the feasibility of the passthrough. Since any opcode can be sent using this passthrough, it is very possible to render the card/device unusable. Applications that use this ioctl must have CAP_SYS_RAWIO. Security commands tested on TI PCIxx12 (SDHCI), Sigma Designs SMP8652 SoC, TI OMAP3621/OMAP3630 SoC, Samsung S5PC110 SoC, Qualcomm MSM7200A SoC.

Now that we have reliably tracking of deleted extents in a transaction we can easily implement "online" discard support which calls blkdev_issue_discard once a transaction commits.

Switch to debugging using dynamic printk (pr_debug()). There is no good reason to carry custom debugging prints if there is so cool and powerful generic dynamic printk infrastructure, see Documentation/dynamic-debug-howto.txt. With dynamic printks we can switch on/of individual prints, per-file, per-function and per format messages. This means that instead of doing old-fashioned echo 1 > /sys/module/ubifs/parameters/debug_msgs to enable general messages, we can do: echo 'format "UBIFS DBG gen" +ptlf' > control to enable general messages and additionally ask the dynamic printk infrastructure to print process ID, line number and function name. So there is no reason to keep UBIFS-specific crud if there is more powerful generic thing. Signed-off-by: NArtem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
