      [libata] change ata_qc_complete() to take error mask as second arg · a7dac447
      Jeff Garzik 提交于
      The second argument to ata_qc_complete() was being used for two
      purposes: communicate the ATA Status register to the completion
      function, and indicate an error.  On legacy PCI IDE hardware, the latter
      is often implicit in the former.  On more modern hardware, the driver
      often completely emulated a Status register value, passing ATA_ERR as an
      indication that something went wrong.
      
      Now that previous code changes have eliminated the need to use drv_stat
      arg to communicate the ATA Status register value, we can convert it to a
      mask of possible error classes.
      
      This will lead to more flexible error handling in the future.

      [PATCH] memory hotplug: sysfs and add/remove functions · 3947be19
      Dave Hansen 提交于
      This adds generic memory add/remove and supporting functions for memory
      hotplug into a new file as well as a memory hotplug kernel config option.
      
      Individual architecture patches will follow.
      
      For now, disable memory hotplug when swsusp is enabled.  There's a lot of
      churn there right now.  We'll fix it up properly once it calms down.

      [PATCH] memory hotplug locking: node_size_lock · 208d54e5
      Dave Hansen 提交于
      pgdat->node_size_lock is basically only neeeded in one place in the normal
      code: show_mem(), which is the arch-specific sysrq-m printing function.
      
      Strictly speaking, the architectures not doing memory hotplug do no need this
      locking in show_mem().  However, they are all included for completeness.  This
      should also make any future consolidation of all of the implementations a
      little more straightforward.
      
      This lock is also held in the sparsemem code during a memory removal, as
      sections are invalidated.  This is the place there pfn_valid() is made false
      for a memory area that's being removed.  The lock is only required when doing
      pfn_valid() operations on memory which the user does not already have a
      reference on the page, such as in show_mem().

      [PATCH] mm: fix rss and mmlist locking · f412ac08
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      A couple of oddities were guarded by page_table_lock, no longer properly
      guarded when that is split.
      
      The mm_counters of file_rss and anon_rss: make those an atomic_t, or an
      atomic64_t if the architecture supports it, in such a case.  Definitions by
      courtesy of Christoph Lameter: who spent considerable effort on more scalable
      ways of counting, but found insufficient benefit in practice.
      
      And adding an mm with swap to the mmlist for swapoff: the list is well-
      guarded by its own lock, but the list_empty check now has to be repeated
      inside it.

      [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] mm: parisc pte atomicity · 92dc6fcc
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      There's a worrying function translation_exists in parisc cacheflush.h,
      unaffected by split ptlock since flush_dcache_page is using it on some other
      mm, without any relevant lock.  Oh well, make it a slightly more robust by
      factoring the pfn check within it.  And it looked liable to confuse a
      camouflaged swap or file entry with a good pte: fix that too.

      [PATCH] mm: follow_page with inner ptlock · deceb6cd
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Final step in pushing down common core's page_table_lock.  follow_page no
      longer wants caller to hold page_table_lock, uses pte_offset_map_lock itself;
      and so no page_table_lock is taken in get_user_pages itself.
      
      But get_user_pages (and get_futex_key) do then need follow_page to pin the
      page for them: take Daniel's suggestion of bitflags to follow_page.
      
      Need one for WRITE, another for TOUCH (it was the accessed flag before:
      vanished along with check_user_page_readable, but surely get_numa_maps is
      wrong to mark every page it finds as accessed), another for GET.
      
      And another, ANON to dispose of untouched_anonymous_page: it seems silly for
      that to descend a second time, let follow_page observe if there was no page
      table and return ZERO_PAGE if so.  Fix minor bug in that: check VM_LOCKED -
      make_pages_present ought to make readonly anonymous present.
      
      Give get_numa_maps a cond_resched while we're there.
