2009-12-23Driver-core: Fix bogus 0 error return in device_add()Thomas Gleixner
If device_add() is called with a device which does not have dev->p set up, then device_private_init() is called. If that succeeds, then the error variable is set to 0. Now if the dev_name(dev) check further down fails, then device_add() correctly terminates, but returns 0. That of course lets the driver progress. If later another driver uses this half set up device as parent then device_add() of the child device explodes and renders sysfs completely unusable. Set the error to -EINVAL if dev_name() check fails. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Cc: "Hans J.

2009-12-23devtmpfs: Convert dirlock to a mutexThomas Gleixner
devtmpfs has a rw_lock dirlock which serializes delete_path and create_path. This code was obviously never tested with the usual set of debugging facilities enabled. In the dirlock held sections the code calls: - vfs functions which take mutexes - kmalloc(, GFP_KERNEL) In both code pathes the might sleep warning triggers and spams dmesg. Convert the rw_lock to a mutex. There is no reason why this needs to be a rwlock.

2009-12-22PM / Runtime: Use device type and device class callbacksRafael J. Wysocki
The power management of some devices is handled through device types and device classes rather than through bus types. Since these devices may also benefit from using the run-time power management core, extend it so that the device type and device class run-time PM callbacks can be taken into consideration by it if the bus type callback is not defined. Update the run-time PM core documentation to reflect this change. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
2009-12-21PM: Use pm_runtime_put_sync in system resumeAlan Stern
This patch (as1317) fixes a bug in the PM core. When a device is resumed following a system sleep, the core decrements the device's runtime PM usage counter but doesn't issue an idle notification if the counter reaches 0. This could prevent an otherwise unused device from being runtime-suspended again after the system sleep. The fix is to call pm_runtime_put_sync() instead of pm_runtime_put_noidle().

2009-12-18mm: Add notifier in pageblock isolation for balloon driversRobert Jennings
Memory balloon drivers can allocate a large amount of memory which is not movable but could be freed to accomodate memory hotplug remove. Prior to calling the memory hotplug notifier chain the memory in the pageblock is isolated. Currently, if the migrate type is not MIGRATE_MOVABLE the isolation will not proceed, causing the memory removal for that page range to fail. Rather than failing pageblock isolation if the migrateteype is not MIGRATE_MOVABLE, this patch checks if all of the pages in the pageblock, and not on the LRU, are owned by a registered balloon driver (or other entity) using a notifier chain. If all of the non-movable pages are owned by a balloon, they can be freed later through the memory notifier chain and the range can still be isolated in set_migratetype_isolate().

2009-12-18PM: Make the initcall_debug style timing for suspend/resume completeRafael J. Wysocki
Commit f2511774863487e61b56a97da07ebf8dd61d7836 (PM: Add initcall_debug style timing for suspend/resume) introduced basic timing instrumentation, needed for a scritps/bootgraph.pl equivalent or humans, but it missed the fact that bus types and device classes which haven't been switched to using struct dev_pm_ops objects yet need special handling. As a result, the suspend/resume timing information is only available for devices whose bus types or device classes use struct dev_pm_ops objects, so the majority of devices is not covered. Fix this by adding basic suspend/resume timing instrumentation for devices whose bus types and device classes still don't use struct dev_pm_ops objects for power management. To reduce code duplication move the timing code to helper functions. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>

2009-12-16HWPOISON: Add soft page offline supportAndi Kleen
This is a simpler, gentler variant of memory_failure() for soft page offlining controlled from user space. It doesn't kill anything, just tries to invalidate and if that doesn't work migrate the page away. This is useful for predictive failure analysis, where a page has a high rate of corrected errors, but hasn't gone bad yet. Instead it can be offlined early and avoided. The offlining is controlled from sysfs, including a new generic entry point for hard page offlining for symmetry too. We use the page isolate facility to prevent re-allocation race. Normally this is only used by memory hotplug. To avoid races with memory allocation I am using lock_system_sleep(). This avoids the situation where memory hotplug is about to isolate a page range and then hwpoison undoes that work. This is a big hammer currently, but the simplest solution currently. When the page is not free or LRU we try to free pages from slab and other caches. The slab freeing is currently quite dumb and does not try to focus on the specific slab cache which might own the page. This could be potentially improved later. Thanks to Fengguang Wu and Haicheng Li for some fixes. [Added fix from Andrew Morton to adapt to new migrate_pages prototype] Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

2009-12-15mm: slab-allocate memory section nodemask for large systemsDavid Rientjes
Nodemasks should not be allocated on the stack for large systems (when it is larger than 256 bytes) since there is a threat of overflow. This patch causes the unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes() nodemask to be allocated on the stack for smaller systems and be allocated by slab for larger systems.

Add the per huge page size control/query attributes to the per node sysdevs: /sys/devices/system/node/node<ID>/hugepages/hugepages-<size>/ nr_hugepages - r/w free_huge_pages - r/o surplus_huge_pages - r/o The patch attempts to re-use/share as much of the existing global hstate attribute initialization and handling, and the "nodes_allowed" constraint processing as possible. Calling set_max_huge_pages() with no node indicates a change to global hstate parameters. In this case, any non-default task mempolicy will be used to generate the nodes_allowed mask. A valid node id indicates an update to that node's hstate parameters, and the count argument specifies the target count for the specified node. From this info, we compute the target global count for the hstate and construct a nodes_allowed node mask contain only the specified node. Setting the node specific nr_hugepages via the per node attribute effectively ignores any task mempolicy or cpuset constraints.

Unfortunately, one cannot hold on to the struct firmware that request_firmware_nowait() hands off, which is needed in some cases. Allow this by requiring the callback to free it (via release_firmware). Additionally, give it a gfp_t parameter -- all the current users call it from a GFP_KERNEL context so the GFP_ATOMIC isn't necessary. This also marks an API break which is useful in a sense, although that is obviously not the primary purpose of this change.

2009-12-09powerpc/pseries: Serialize cpu hotplug operations during deactivate Vs ↵Gautham R Shenoy
deallocate Currently the cpu-allocation/deallocation process comprises of two steps: - Set the indicators and to update the device tree with DLPAR node information. - Online/offline the allocated/deallocated CPU. This is achieved by writing to the sysfs tunables "probe" during allocation and "release" during deallocation. At the sametime, the userspace can independently online/offline the CPUs of the system using the sysfs tunable "online". It is quite possible that when a userspace tool offlines a CPU for the purpose of deallocation and is in the process of updating the device tree, some other userspace tool could bring the CPU back online by writing to the "online" sysfs tunable thereby causing the deallocate process to fail. The solution to this is to serialize writes to the "probe/release" sysfs tunable with the writes to the "online" sysfs tunable. This patch employs a mutex to provide this serialization, which is a no-op on all architectures except PPC_PSERIES Signed-off-by: Gautham R Shenoy <ego@in.ibm.com> Acked-by: Vaidyanathan Srinivasan <svaidy@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2009-12-09sysfs/cpu: Add probe/release filesNathan Fontenot
Version 3 of this patch is updated with documentation added to Documentation/ABI. There are no changes to any of the C code from v2 of the patch. In order to support kernel DLPAR of CPU resources we need to provide an interface to add (probe) and remove (release) the resource from the system. This patch Creates new generic probe and release sysfs files to facilitate cpu probe/release. The probe/release interface provides for allowing each arch to supply their own routines for implementing the backend of adding and removing cpus to/from the system. This also creates the powerpc specific stubs to handle the arch callouts from writes to the sysfs files. The creation and use of these files is regulated by the CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE option so that only architectures that need the capability will have the files created.

2009-12-06PM / Runtime: Ensure timer_expires is nonzero in pm_schedule_suspend()Rafael J. Wysocki
The runtime PM core code assumes that dev->power.timer_expires is nonzero when the timer is scheduled, but it may become zero incidentally in pm_schedule_suspend(). Prevent this from happening by bumping dev->power.timer_expires up to 1 if it's 0 before calling mod_timer(). Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2009-12-06PM / Runtime: Use deferred_resume flag in pm_request_resumeAlan Stern
This patch (as1307) adds a small optimization to __pm_request_resume(). If the device is currently being suspended, there's no need to queue a work routine to resume it. Setting the deferred_resume flag will suffice. (There's also a minor improvement to the function's code layout: An unnecessary "else" is removed.) Also, the patch clarifies the usage of the deferred_resume flag. It is meaningful only while a suspend is in progress, so it should be cleared just before a suspend starts, not just after one ends.
