2009-01-15memcg: make oom less frequentlyDaisuke Nishimura
In previous implementation, mem_cgroup_try_charge checked the return value of mem_cgroup_try_to_free_pages, and just retried if some pages had been reclaimed. But now, try_charge(and mem_cgroup_hierarchical_reclaim called from it) only checks whether the usage is less than the limit. This patch tries to change the behavior as before to cause oom less frequently.

2009-01-15memcg: fix hierarchical reclaimDaisuke Nishimura
If root_mem has no children, last_scaned_child is set to root_mem itself. But after some children added to root_mem, mem_cgroup_get_next_node can mem_cgroup_put the root_mem although root_mem has not been mem_cgroup_get. This patch fixes this behavior by: - Set last_scanned_child to NULL if root_mem has no children or DFS search has returned to root_mem itself(root_mem is not a "child" of root_mem). Make mem_cgroup_get_first_node return root_mem in this case. There are no mem_cgroup_get/put for root_mem. - Rename mem_cgroup_get_next_node to __mem_cgroup_get_next_node, and mem_cgroup_get_first_node to mem_cgroup_get_next_node. Make mem_cgroup_hierarchical_reclaim call only new mem_cgroup_get_next_node.

2009-01-15memcg: fix error path of mem_cgroup_move_parentDaisuke Nishimura
There is a bug in error path of mem_cgroup_move_parent. Extra refcnt got from try_charge should be dropped, and usages incremented by try_charge should be decremented in both error paths: A: failure at get_page_unless_zero B: failure at isolate_lru_page This bug makes this parent directory unremovable. In case of A, rmdir doesn't return, because res.usage doesn't go down to 0 at mem_cgroup_force_empty even after all the pc in lru are removed. In case of B, rmdir fails and returns -EBUSY, because it has extra ref counts even after res.usage goes down to 0.

2009-01-15memcg: fix mem_cgroup_get_reclaim_stat_from_pageDaisuke Nishimura
In case of swapin, a new page is added to lru before it is charged, so page->pc->mem_cgroup points to NULL or last mem_cgroup the page was charged before. In the latter case, if the mem_cgroup has already freed by rmdir, the area pointed to by page->pc->mem_cgroup may have invalid data.

2009-01-15hwmon: applesmc: fix light sensor readings on newer MacBooksAlex Murray
The light sensors ALV0 and ALV1 on newer MacBooks (early 2008 and later) changed to report 10 bytes instead the earlier 6, and the sensor encoding subsequently changed. As a result, the reported light sensors readings are much too low. Via experiments leading up to this patch, it seems only the ALV0 is reporting data, and the most useful value therein is a 10-bit big-endian value at offset 6. This suggests that a new protocol was added as a backward-compatible replacement on top of the old one. This patch makes applesmc report the improved light sensor reading for the new machines, on a scale in conformance with earlier ones.

2009-01-15sgi-xp: eliminate false detection of no heartbeatDean Nelson
After XPC has been up and running on multiple partitions for any length of time, if XPC on one of the partitions is stopped and restarted (either by a rmmod/insmod or a system restart), it is possible for the XPCs running on the other partitions to falsely detect a lack of heartbeat from the XPC that was just restarted. This false detection will occur if the restarted XPC comes up within the five-seconds preceding one of the other XPC's heartbeat check (which occurs once every twenty seconds). The detection of no heartbeat results in the detecting XPC deactivating from the just restarted XPC. The only remedy is to restart one of the XPCs and hope that one doesn't hit this five-second window on any of the other partitions.

2009-01-15alpha: fix vmalloc breakageIvan Kokshaysky
On alpha, we have to map some stuff in the VMALLOC space very early in the boot process (to make SRM console callbacks work and so on, see arch/alpha/mm/init.c). For old VM allocator, we just manually placed a vm_struct onto the global vmlist and this worked for ages. Unfortunately, the new allocator isn't aware of this, so it constantly tries to allocate the VM space which is already in use, making vmalloc on alpha defunct. This patch forces KVA to import vmlist entries on init.

2009-01-15gpio: fix probe() error return in gpio driver probesBen Dooks
A number of drivers in drivers/gpio return -ENODEV when confronted with missing setup parameters such as the platform data. However, returning -ENODEV causes the driver layer to silently ignore the driver as it assumes the probe did not find anything and was only speculative. To make life easier to discern why a driver is not being attached, change to returning -EINVAL, which is a better description of the fact that the driver data was not valid. Also add a set of dev_dbg() statements to the error paths to provide an better explanation of the error as there may be more that one point in the driver.

2009-01-15atmel_spi: allow transfer when max_speed_hz = 0Stanislaw Gruszka
For some reason I have to slowdown clock to touchscreen device. In atmel_spi_setup() there is comment that max_speed_hz == 0 means as slow as possible and divider is set to maximum value. But in atmel_spi_transfer() function is check against not zero max_speed_hz with EINVAL returned. Probably driver should setup divider for each transfer based on transfer->speed_hz value, but I think that would be not necessary overhead as all used devices have constant clock. Below patch works fine for me.

Update Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt and Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt. More specifically, the section on /proc/sys/vm in Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt was removed and a link to Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt added. Most of the verbiage from proc.txt was simply moved in vm.txt, with new addtional text for "swappiness" and "stat_interval".

2009-01-15When a break signal is detected, the next character should be ignored.Mischa Jonker
This was not implemented correctly for the pnx8xxx_uart driver. [From further discussion: Correct, you can look to it as two separate bugs: a) the next character is not ignored while it should; b) the status bits 31-8 are copied to the 'ch' variable while they shouldn't. Both bugs prevent correct break signal handling (and therefore correct behaviour of the magic SysRq key). Bug b didn't cause too much trouble earlier because in most situations the status bits are all zero; for this case they unfortunately aren't. ] Signed-off-by: Mischa Jonker <mischa.jonker@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
