      [PATCH] Fix and add EXPORT_SYMBOL(filemap_write_and_wait) · 28fd1298
      OGAWA Hirofumi 提交于
      This patch add EXPORT_SYMBOL(filemap_write_and_wait) and use it.
      
      See mm/filemap.c:
      
      And changes the filemap_write_and_wait() and filemap_write_and_wait_range().
      
      Current filemap_write_and_wait() doesn't wait if filemap_fdatawrite()
      returns error.  However, even if filemap_fdatawrite() returned an
      error, it may have submitted the partially data pages to the device.
      (e.g. in the case of -ENOSPC)
      
      <quotation>
      Andrew Morton writes,
      
      If filemap_fdatawrite() returns an error, this might be due to some
      I/O problem: dead disk, unplugged cable, etc.  Given the generally
      crappy quality of the kernel's handling of such exceptions, there's a
      good chance that the filemap_fdatawait() will get stuck in D state
      forever.
      </quotation>
      
      So, this patch doesn't wait if filemap_fdatawrite() returns the -EIO.
      
      Trond, could you please review the nfs part?  Especially I'm not sure,
      nfs must use the "filemap_fdatawrite(inode->i_mapping) == 0", or not.

      [PATCH] changing CONFIG_LOCALVERSION rebuilds too much, for no good reason · 733482e4
      Olaf Hering 提交于
      This patch removes almost all inclusions of linux/version.h.  The 3
      #defines are unused in most of the touched files.
      
      A few drivers use the simple KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) macro, which is
      unfortunatly in linux/version.h.
      
      There are also lots of #ifdef for long obsolete kernels, this was not
      touched.  In a few places, the linux/version.h include was move to where
      the LINUX_VERSION_CODE was used.
      
      quilt vi `find * -type f -name "*.[ch]"|xargs grep -El '(UTS_RELEASE|LINUX_VERSION_CODE|KERNEL_VERSION|linux/version.h)'|grep -Ev '(/(boot|coda|drm)/|~$)'`
      
      search pattern:
      /UTS_RELEASE\|LINUX_VERSION_CODE\|KERNEL_VERSION\|linux\/\(utsname\|version\).h

      [PATCH] mm: split page table lock · 4c21e2f2
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Christoph Lameter demonstrated very poor scalability on the SGI 512-way, with
      a many-threaded application which concurrently initializes different parts of
      a large anonymous area.
      
      This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to
      guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single
      page_table_lock.  (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page
      table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.)
      
      In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the
      page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in
      the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled.
      
      Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access.  Ideally,
      I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on
      multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs.
      So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig
      language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with
      NR_CPUS.  But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good
      testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps
      change that to 8 later.
      
      There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking
      one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.

      [PATCH] gfp_t: fs/* · 27496a8c
      Al Viro 提交于
       - ->releasepage() annotated (s/int/gfp_t), instances updated
       - missing gfp_t in fs/* added
       - fixed misannotation from the original sweep caught by bitwise checks:
         XFS used __nocast both for gfp_t and for flags used by XFS allocator.
         The latter left with unsigned int __nocast; we might want to add a
         different type for those but for now let's leave them alone.  That,
         BTW, is a case when __nocast use had been actively confusing - it had
         been used in the same code for two different and similar types, with
         no way to catch misuses.  Switch of gfp_t to bitwise had caught that
         immediately...
      
      One tricky bit is left alone to be dealt with later - mapping->flags is
      a mix of gfp_t and error indications.  Left alone for now.
