2006-01-09[PATCH] Update cyblafb driverKnut Petersen
This is a major update to the cyblafb framebuffer driver. Most of the stuff has been tested in the mm tree. Main advantages: ============ - vxres > xres support - ywrap and xpan support - much faster for almost all modes (e.g. 1280x1024-16bpp draws more than 41 full screens of text instead of about 25 full screens of text per second on authors Epia 5000) - module init/exit code fixed - bugs triggered by console rotation fixed - lots of minor improvements - startup modes suitable for high performance scrolling in all directions This diff also contains a lot of white space fixes. No side effects are possible, only one single graphics core is affected. Signed-off-by: Knut Petersen <Knut_Petersen@t-online.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-01-08[PATCH] keys: Permit running process to instantiate keysDavid Howells
Make it possible for a running process (such as gssapid) to be able to instantiate a key, as was requested by Trond Myklebust for NFS4. The patch makes the following changes: (1) A new, optional key type method has been added. This permits a key type to intercept requests at the point /sbin/request-key is about to be spawned and do something else with them - passing them over the rpc_pipefs files or netlink sockets for instance. The uninstantiated key, the authorisation key and the intended operation name are passed to the method. (2) The callout_info is no longer passed as an argument to /sbin/request-key to prevent unauthorised viewing of this data using ps or by looking in /proc/pid/cmdline. This means that the old /sbin/request-key program will not work with the patched kernel as it will expect to see an extra argument that is no longer there. A revised keyutils package will be made available tomorrow. (3) The callout_info is now attached to the authorisation key. Reading this key will retrieve the information. (4) A new field has been added to the task_struct. This holds the authorisation key currently active for a thread. Searches now look here for the caller's set of keys rather than looking for an auth key in the lowest level of the session keyring. This permits a thread to be servicing multiple requests at once and to switch between them. Note that this is per-thread, not per-process, and so is usable in multithreaded programs. The setting of this field is inherited across fork and exec. (5) A new keyctl function (KEYCTL_ASSUME_AUTHORITY) has been added that permits a thread to assume the authority to deal with an uninstantiated key. Assumption is only permitted if the authorisation key associated with the uninstantiated key is somewhere in the thread's keyrings. This function can also clear the assumption. (6) A new magic key specifier has been added to refer to the currently assumed authorisation key (KEY_SPEC_REQKEY_AUTH_KEY). (7) Instantiation will only proceed if the appropriate authorisation key is assumed first. The assumed authorisation key is discarded if instantiation is successful. (8) key_validate() is moved from the file of request_key functions to the file of permissions functions. (9) The documentation is updated. From: <Valdis.Kletnieks@vt.edu> Build fix.

2006-01-08[PATCH] keys: Discard duplicate keys from a keyring on linkDavid Howells
Cause any links within a keyring to keys that match a key to be linked into that keyring to be discarded as a link to the new key is added. The match is contingent on the type and description strings being the same. This permits requests, adds and searches to displace negative, expired, revoked and dead keys easily. After some discussion it was concluded that duplicate valid keys should probably be discarded also as they would otherwise hide the new key. Since request_key() is intended to be the primary method by which keys are added to a keyring, duplicate valid keys wouldn't be an issue there as that function would return an existing match in preference to creating a new key.

Add a boolean "memory_migrate" to each cpuset, represented by a file containing "0" or "1" in each directory below /dev/cpuset. It defaults to false (file contains "0"). It can be set true by writing "1" to the file. If true, then anytime that a task is attached to the cpuset so marked, the pages of that task will be moved to that cpuset, preserving, to the extent practical, the cpuset-relative placement of the pages. Also anytime that a cpuset so marked has its memory placement changed (by writing to its "mems" file), the tasks in that cpuset will have their pages moved to the cpusets new nodes, preserving, to the extent practical, the cpuset-relative placement of the moved pages.

2006-01-08[PATCH] Make high and batch sizes of per_cpu_pagelists configurableRohit Seth
As recently there has been lot of traffic on the right values for batch and high water marks for per_cpu_pagelists. This patch makes these two variables configurable through /proc interface. A new tunable /proc/sys/vm/percpu_pagelist_fraction is added. This entry controls the fraction of pages at most in each zone that are allocated for each per cpu page list. The min value for this is 8. It means that we don't allow more than 1/8th of pages in each zone to be allocated in any single per_cpu_pagelist. The batch value of each per cpu pagelist is also updated as a result. It is set to pcp->high/4. The upper limit of batch is (PAGE_SHIFT * 8) Signed-off-by: Rohit Seth <rohit.seth@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-01-08[PATCH] drop-pagecacheAndrew Morton
Add /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches. When written to, this will cause the kernel to discard as much pagecache and/or reclaimable slab objects as it can. THis operation requires root permissions. It won't drop dirty data, so the user should run `sync' first. Caveats: a) Holds inode_lock for exorbitant amounts of time. b) Needs to be taught about NUMA nodes: propagate these all the way through so the discarding can be controlled on a per-node basis. This is a debugging feature: useful for getting consistent results between filesystem benchmarks. We could possibly put it under a config option, but it's less than 300 bytes.
