2007-10-17lib: percpu_counter_subPeter Zijlstra
Hugh spotted that some code does: percpu_counter_add(&counter, -unsignedlong) which, when the amount argument is of type s32, sort-of works thanks to two's-complement. However when we'd change the type to s64 this breaks on 32bit machines, because the promotion rules zero extend the unsigned number. Provide percpu_counter_sub() to hide the s64 cast. That is: percpu_counter_sub(&counter, foo) is equal to: percpu_counter_add(&counter, -(s64)foo); Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-10-17nfs: remove congestion_end()Peter Zijlstra
These patches aim to improve balance_dirty_pages() and directly address three issues: 1) inter device starvation 2) stacked device deadlocks 3) inter process starvation 1 and 2 are a direct result from removing the global dirty limit and using per device dirty limits. By giving each device its own dirty limit is will no longer starve another device, and the cyclic dependancy on the dirty limit is broken. In order to efficiently distribute the dirty limit across the independant devices a floating proportion is used, this will allocate a share of the total limit proportional to the device's recent activity. 3 is done by also scaling the dirty limit proportional to the current task's recent dirty rate. This patch: nfs: remove congestion_end(). It's redundant, clear_bdi_congested() already wakes the waiters.

2007-10-17powerpc: add Altivec/VMX state to coredumpsMark Nelson
Update dump_task_altivec() (which has so far never been put to use) so that it dumps the Altivec/VMX registers (VR[0] - VR[31], VSCR and VRSAVE) in the same format as the ptrace get_vrregs(), and add the appropriate glue typedef and #defines to make it work. A new note type of NT_PPC_VMX was chosen to be 0x100 (arbitrarily) because it allows the low range values to be used for more generic purposes and 0x100 seems an adequate starting point for PowerPC extensions.

Try to fix the mess created by sysfs braindamage. - refactor code internal to fs/namei.c a little to avoid too much duplication: o __lookup_hash_kern is renamed back to __lookup_hash o the old __lookup_hash goes away, permission checks moves to the two callers o useless inline qualifiers on above functions go away - lookup_one_len_kern loses it's last argument and is renamed to lookup_one_noperm to make it's useage a little more clear - added kerneldoc comments to describe lookup_one_len aswell as lookup_one_noperm and make it very clear that no one should use the latter ever.

2007-10-16vt/vgacon: Check if screen resize request comes from userspaceAntonino A. Daplas
Various console drivers are able to resize the screen via the con_resize() hook. This hook is also visible in userspace via the TIOCWINSZ, VT_RESIZE and VT_RESIZEX ioctl's. One particular utility, SVGATextMode, expects that con_resize() of the VGA console will always return success even if the resulting screen is not compatible with the hardware. However, this particular behavior of the VGA console, as reported in Kernel Bugzilla Bug 7513, can cause undefined behavior if the user starts with a console size larger than 80x25. To work around this problem, add an extra parameter to con_resize(). This parameter is ignored by drivers except for vgacon. If this parameter is non-zero, then the resize request came from a VT_RESIZE or VT_RESIZEX ioctl and vgacon will always return success. If this parameter is zero, vgacon will return -EINVAL if the requested size is not compatible with the hardware. The latter is the more correct behavior. With this change, SVGATextMode should still work correctly while in-kernel and stty resize calls can expect correct behavior from vgacon.

2007-10-16cpuset: remove sched domain hooks from cpusetsPaul Jackson
Remove the cpuset hooks that defined sched domains depending on the setting of the 'cpu_exclusive' flag. The cpu_exclusive flag can only be set on a child if it is set on the parent. This made that flag painfully unsuitable for use as a flag defining a partitioning of a system. It was entirely unobvious to a cpuset user what partitioning of sched domains they would be causing when they set that one cpu_exclusive bit on one cpuset, because it depended on what CPUs were in the remainder of that cpusets siblings and child cpusets, after subtracting out other cpu_exclusive cpusets. Furthermore, there was no way on production systems to query the result. Using the cpu_exclusive flag for this was simply wrong from the get go. Fortunately, it was sufficiently borked that so far as I know, almost no successful use has been made of this. One real time group did use it to affectively isolate CPUs from any load balancing efforts. They are willing to adapt to alternative mechanisms for this, such as someway to manipulate the list of isolated CPUs on a running system. They can do without this present cpu_exclusive based mechanism while we develop an alternative. There is a real risk, to the best of my understanding, of users accidentally setting up a partitioned scheduler domains, inhibiting desired load balancing across all their CPUs, due to the nonobvious (from the cpuset perspective) side affects of the cpu_exclusive flag. Furthermore, since there was no way on a running system to see what one was doing with sched domains, this change will be invisible to any using code. Unless they have real insight to the scheduler load balancing choices, they will be unable to detect that this change has been made in the kernel's behaviour. Initial discussion on lkml of this patch has generated much comment. My (probably controversial) take on that discussion is that it has reached a rough concensus that the current cpuset cpu_exclusive mechanism for defining sched domains is borked. There is no concensus on the replacement. But since we can remove this mechanism, and since its continued presence risks causing unwanted partitioning of the schedulers load balancing, we should remove it while we can, as we proceed to work the replacement scheduler domain mechanisms.

2007-10-16DCA: Add Direct Cache Access driverShannon Nelson
Direct Cache Access (DCA) is a method for warming the CPU cache before data is used, with the intent of lessening the impact of cache misses. This patch adds a manager and interface for matching up client requests for DCA services with devices that offer DCA services. In order to use DCA, a module must do bus writes with the appropriate tag bits set to trigger a cache read for a specific CPU. However, different CPUs and chipsets can require different sets of tag bits, and the methods for determining the correct bits may be simple hardcoding or may be a hardware specific magic incantation. This interface is a way for DCA clients to find the correct tag bits for the targeted CPU without needing to know the specifics.

2007-10-16hugetlb: Add hugetlb_dynamic_pool sysctlAdam Litke
The maximum size of the huge page pool can be controlled using the overall size of the hugetlb filesystem (via its 'size' mount option). However in the common case the this will not be set as the pool is traditionally fixed in size at boot time. In order to maintain the expected semantics, we need to prevent the pool expanding by default. This patch introduces a new sysctl controlling dynamic pool resizing. When this is enabled the pool will expand beyond its base size up to the size of the hugetlb filesystem. It is disabled by default.

2007-10-16memory hotplug: Hot-add with sparsemem-vmemmapYasunori Goto
This patch is to avoid panic when memory hot-add is executed with sparsemem-vmemmap. Current vmemmap-sparsemem code doesn't support memory hot-add. Vmemmap must be populated when hot-add. This is for 2.6.23-rc2-mm2. Todo: # Even if this patch is applied, the message "[xxxx-xxxx] potential offnode page_structs" is displayed. To allocate memmap on its node, memmap (and pgdat) must be initialized itself like chicken and egg relationship. # vmemmap_unpopulate will be necessary for followings. - For cancel hot-add due to error. - For unplug.

2007-10-16fix memory hot remove not configured case.KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Now, arch dependent code around CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE is a mess. This patch cleans up them. This is against 2.6.23-rc6-mm1. - fix compile failure on ia64/ CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG && !CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE case. - For !CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE, add generic no-op remove_memory(), which returns -EINVAL. - removed remove_pages() only used in powerpc. - removed no-op remove_memory() in i386, sh, sparc64, x86_64. - only powerpc returns -ENOSYS at memory hot remove(no-op). changes it to return -EINVAL. Note: Currently, only ia64 supports CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE. I welcome other archs if there are requirements and testers.

Logic. - set all pages in [start,end) as isolated migration-type. by this, all free pages in the range will be not-for-use. - Migrate all LRU pages in the range. - Test all pages in the range's refcnt is zero or not. Todo: - allocate migration destination page from better area. - confirm page_count(page)== 0 && PageReserved(page) page is safe to be freed.. (I don't like this kind of page but.. - Find out pages which cannot be migrated. - more running tests. - Use reclaim for unplugging other memory type area.

2007-10-16memory unplug: page isolationKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Implement generic chunk-of-pages isolation method by using page grouping ops. This patch add MIGRATE_ISOLATE to MIGRATE_TYPES. By this - MIGRATE_TYPES increases. - bitmap for migratetype is enlarged. pages of MIGRATE_ISOLATE migratetype will not be allocated even if it is free. By this, you can isolated *freed* pages from users. How-to-free pages is not a purpose of this patch. You may use reclaim and migrate codes to free pages. If start_isolate_page_range(start,end) is called, - migratetype of the range turns to be MIGRATE_ISOLATE if its type is MIGRATE_MOVABLE. (*) this check can be updated if other memory reclaiming works make progress. - MIGRATE_ISOLATE is not on migratetype fallback list. - All free pages and will-be-freed pages are isolated. To check all pages in the range are isolated or not, use test_pages_isolated(), To cancel isolation, use undo_isolate_page_range(). Changes V6 -> V7 - removed unnecessary #ifdef There are HOLES_IN_ZONE handling codes...I'm glad if we can remove them..
