2006-12-13Driver core: Make platform_device_add_data accept a const pointerScott Wood
platform_device_add_data() makes a copy of the data that is given to it, and thus the parameter can be const. This removes a warning when data from get_property() on powerpc is handed to platform_device_add_data(), as get_property() returns a const pointer.

2006-12-13[PATCH] Pass vma argument to copy_user_highpage().Atsushi Nemoto
To allow a more effective copy_user_highpage() on certain architectures, a vma argument is added to the function and cow_user_page() allowing the implementation of these functions to check for the VM_EXEC bit.

2006-12-13[PATCH] Fix COW D-cache aliasing on forkAtsushi Nemoto
Problem: 1. There is a process containing two thread (T1 and T2). The thread T1 calls fork(). Then dup_mmap() function called on T1 context. static inline int dup_mmap(struct mm_struct *mm, struct mm_struct *oldmm) ... flush_cache_mm(current->mm); ... /* A */ (write-protect all Copy-On-Write pages) ... /* B */ flush_tlb_mm(current->mm); ... 2. When preemption happens between A and B (or on SMP kernel), the thread T2 can run and modify data on COW pages without page fault (modified data will stay in cache). 3. Some time after fork() completed, the thread T2 may cause a page fault by write-protect on a COW page. 4. Then data of the COW page will be copied to newly allocated physical page (copy_cow_page()). It reads data via kernel mapping. The kernel mapping can have different 'color' with user space mapping of the thread T2 (dcache aliasing). Therefore copy_cow_page() will copy stale data. Then the modified data in cache will be lost. In order to allow architecture code to deal with this problem allow architecture code to override copy_user_highpage() by defining __HAVE_ARCH_COPY_USER_HIGHPAGE in <asm/page.h>.

2006-12-13[PATCH] optimize o_direct on block devicesChen, Kenneth W
Implement block device specific .direct_IO method instead of going through generic direct_io_worker for block device. direct_io_worker() is fairly complex because it needs to handle O_DIRECT on file system, where it needs to perform block allocation, hole detection, extents file on write, and tons of other corner cases. The end result is that it takes tons of CPU time to submit an I/O. For block device, the block allocation is much simpler and a tight triple loop can be written to iterate each iovec and each page within the iovec in order to construct/prepare bio structure and then subsequently submit it to the block layer. This significantly speeds up O_D on block device.

2006-12-13[PATCH] PM: Fix SMP races in the freezerRafael J. Wysocki
Currently, to tell a task that it should go to the refrigerator, we set the PF_FREEZE flag for it and send a fake signal to it. Unfortunately there are two SMP-related problems with this approach. First, a task running on another CPU may be updating its flags while the freezer attempts to set PF_FREEZE for it and this may leave the task's flags in an inconsistent state. Second, there is a potential race between freeze_process() and refrigerator() in which freeze_process() running on one CPU is reading a task's PF_FREEZE flag while refrigerator() running on another CPU has just set PF_FROZEN for the same task and attempts to reset PF_FREEZE for it. If the refrigerator wins the race, freeze_process() will state that PF_FREEZE hasn't been set for the task and will set it unnecessarily, so the task will go to the refrigerator once again after it's been thawed. To solve first of these problems we need to stop using PF_FREEZE to tell tasks that they should go to the refrigerator. Instead, we can introduce a special TIF_*** flag and use it for this purpose, since it is allowed to change the other tasks' TIF_*** flags and there are special calls for it. To avoid the freeze_process()-refrigerator() race we can make freeze_process() to always check the task's PF_FROZEN flag after it's read its "freeze" flag. We should also make sure that refrigerator() will always reset the task's "freeze" flag after it's set PF_FROZEN for it. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2006-12-13[PATCH] SLAB: use a multiply instead of a divide in obj_to_index()Eric Dumazet
When some objects are allocated by one CPU but freed by another CPU we can consume lot of cycles doing divides in obj_to_index(). (Typical load on a dual processor machine where network interrupts are handled by one particular CPU (allocating skbufs), and the other CPU is running the application (consuming and freeing skbufs)) Here on one production server (dual-core AMD Opteron 285), I noticed this divide took 1.20 % of CPU_CLK_UNHALTED events in kernel. But Opteron are quite modern cpus and the divide is much more expensive on oldest architectures : On a 200 MHz sparcv9 machine, the division takes 64 cycles instead of 1 cycle for a multiply. Doing some math, we can use a reciprocal multiplication instead of a divide. If we want to compute V = (A / B) (A and B being u32 quantities) we can instead use : V = ((u64)A * RECIPROCAL(B)) >> 32 ; where RECIPROCAL(B) is precalculated to ((1LL << 32) + (B - 1)) / B Note : I wrote pure C code for clarity. gcc output for i386 is not optimal but acceptable : mull 0x14(%ebx) mov %edx,%eax // part of the >> 32 xor %edx,%edx // useless mov %eax,(%esp) // could be avoided mov %edx,0x4(%esp) // useless mov (%esp),%ebx [akpm@osdl.org: small cleanups] Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Cc: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Cc: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-12-13[PATCH] cpuset: rework cpuset_zone_allowed apiPaul Jackson
Elaborate the API for calling cpuset_zone_allowed(), so that users have to explicitly choose between the two variants: cpuset_zone_allowed_hardwall() cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() Until now, whether or not you got the hardwall flavor depended solely on whether or not you or'd in the __GFP_HARDWALL gfp flag to the gfp_mask argument. If you didn't specify __GFP_HARDWALL, you implicitly got the softwall version. Unfortunately, this meant that users would end up with the softwall version without thinking about it. Since only the softwall version might sleep, this led to bugs with possible sleeping in interrupt context on more than one occassion. The hardwall version requires that the current tasks mems_allowed allows the node of the specified zone (or that you're in interrupt or that __GFP_THISNODE is set or that you're on a one cpuset system.) The softwall version, depending on the gfp_mask, might allow a node if it was allowed in the nearest enclusing cpuset marked mem_exclusive (which requires taking the cpuset lock 'callback_mutex' to evaluate.) This patch removes the cpuset_zone_allowed() call, and forces the caller to explicitly choose between the hardwall and the softwall case. If the caller wants the gfp_mask to determine this choice, they should (1) be sure they can sleep or that __GFP_HARDWALL is set, and (2) invoke the cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() routine. This adds another 100 or 200 bytes to the kernel text space, due to the few lines of nearly duplicate code at the top of both cpuset_zone_allowed_* routines. It should save a few instructions executed for the calls that turned into calls of cpuset_zone_allowed_hardwall, thanks to not having to set (before the call) then check (within the call) the __GFP_HARDWALL flag. For the most critical call, from get_page_from_freelist(), the same instructions are executed as before -- the old cpuset_zone_allowed() routine it used to call is the same code as the cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() routine that it calls now. Not a perfect win, but seems worth it, to reduce this chance of hitting a sleeping with irq off complaint again.

2006-12-13[PATCH] Cleanup slab headers / API to allow easy addition of new slab allocatorsChristoph Lameter
This is a response to an earlier discussion on linux-mm about splitting slab.h components per allocator. Patch is against 2.6.19-git11. See http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-mm&m=116469577431008&w=2 This patch cleans up the slab header definitions. We define the common functions of slob and slab in slab.h and put the extra definitions needed for slab's kmalloc implementations in <linux/slab_def.h>. In order to get a greater set of common functions we add several empty functions to slob.c and also rename slob's kmalloc to __kmalloc. Slob does not need any special definitions since we introduce a fallback case. If there is no need for a slab implementation to provide its own kmalloc mess^H^H^Hacros then we simply fall back to __kmalloc functions. That is sufficient for SLOB. Sort the function in slab.h according to their functionality. First the functions operating on struct kmem_cache * then the kmalloc related functions followed by special debug and fallback definitions. Also redo a lot of comments.

2006-12-13[PATCH] reorder struct pipe_buf_operationsEric Dumazet
Fields of struct pipe_buf_operations have not a precise layout (ie not optimized to fit cache lines nor reduce cache line ping pongs) The bufs[] array is *large* and is placed near the beginning of the structure, so all following fields have a large offset. This is unfortunate because many archs have smaller instructions when using small offsets relative to a base register. On x86 for example, 7 bits offsets have smaller instruction lengths. Moving bufs[] at the end of pipe_buf_operations permits all fields to have small offsets, and reduce text size, and icache pressure. # size vmlinux.pre vmlinux text data bss dec hex filename 3268989 664356 492196 4425541 438745 vmlinux.pre 3268765 664356 492196 4425317 438665 vmlinux So this patch reduces text size by 224 bytes on my x86_64 machine.

The purpose of this identifier is to export nsproxy to user space which is wrong. nsproxy is an internal implementation optimization, which should keep our fork times from getting slower as we increase the number of global namespaces you don't have to share.

2006-12-12hwmon/it87: Remove the SMBus interface supportJean Delvare
This interface was useless as the LPC ISA-like interface is always available, is faster, and is more reliable. This cuts the driver size by some 20%. This change is also required to later convert the it87 driver to a platform driver, so that we can get rid of i2c-isa in a near future. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
2006-12-12[PATCH] lockdep: fix seqlock_init()Ingo Molnar
seqlock_init() needs to use spin_lock_init() for dynamic locks, so that lockdep is notified about the presence of a new lock. (this is a fallout of the recent networking merge, which started using the so-far unused seqlock_init() API.) This fix solves the following lockdep-internal warning on current -git: INFO: trying to register non-static key. the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation. turning off the locking correctness validator. __lock_acquire+0x10c/0x9f9 lock_acquire+0x56/0x72 _spin_lock+0x35/0x42 neigh_destroy+0x9d/0x12e neigh_periodic_timer+0x10a/0x15c run_timer_softirq+0x126/0x18e __do_softirq+0x6b/0xe6 do_softirq+0x64/0xd2 ksoftirqd+0x82/0x138 Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-12-12[PATCH] remove blk_queue_activity_fnBoaz Harrosh
While working on bidi support at struct request level I have found that blk_queue_activity_fn is actually never used. The only user is in ide-probe.c with this code: /* enable led activity for disk drives only */ if (drive->media == ide_disk && hwif->led_act) blk_queue_activity_fn(q, hwif->led_act, drive); And led_act is never initialized anywhere. (Looking back at older kernels it was used in the PPC arch, but was removed around 2.6.18) Unless it is all for future use off course.

2006-12-11[DCCP] ccid3: Finer-grained resolution of sending ratesGerrit Renker
This patch * resolves a bug where packets smaller than 32/64 bytes resulted in sending rates of 0 * supports all sending rates from 1/64 bytes/second up to 4Gbyte/second * simplifies the present overflow problems in calculations Current sending rate X and the cached value X_recv of the receiver-estimated sending rate are both scaled by 64 (2^6) in order to * cope with low sending rates (minimally 1 byte/second) * allow upgrading to use a packets-per-second implementation of CCID 3 * avoid calculation errors due to integer arithmetic cut-off The patch implements a revised strategy from http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg01040.html The only difference with regard to that strategy is that t_ipi is already used in the calculation of the nofeedback timeout, which saves one division.

2006-12-11Make SLES9 "get_kernel_version" work on the kernel binary againLinus Torvalds
As reported by Andy Whitcroft, at least the SLES9 initrd build process depends on getting the kernel version from the kernel binary. It does that by simply trawling the binary and looking for the signature of the "linux_banner" string (the string "Linux version " to be exact. Which is really broken in itself, but whatever..) That got broken when the string was changed to allow /proc/version to change the UTS release information dynamically, and "get_kernel_version" thus returned "%s" (see commit a2ee8649ba6d71416712e798276bf7c40b64e6e5: "[PATCH] Fix linux banner utsname information"). This just restores "linux_banner" as a static string, which should fix the version finding. And /proc/version simply uses a different string. To avoid wasting even that miniscule amount of memory, the early boot string should really be marked __initdata, but that just causes the same bug in SLES9 to re-appear, since it will then find other occurrences of "Linux version " first.

This field is then used in the i2c_transfer() function, to acquire the per-adapter bus_lock with correct nesting level.
