2009-07-29lib: flexible array implementationDave Hansen
Once a structure goes over PAGE_SIZE*2, we see occasional allocation failures. Some people have chosen to switch over to things like vmalloc() that will let them keep array-like access to such a large structures. But, vmalloc() has plenty of downsides. Here's an alternative. I think it's what Andrew was suggesting here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/2/518 I call it a flexible array. It does all of its work in PAGE_SIZE bits, so never does an order>0 allocation. The base level has PAGE_SIZE-2*sizeof(int) bytes of storage for pointers to the second level. So, with a 32-bit arch, you get about 4MB (4183112 bytes) of total storage when the objects pack nicely into a page. It is half that on 64-bit because the pointers are twice the size. There's a table detailing this in the code. There are kerneldocs for the functions, but here's an overview: flex_array_alloc() - dynamically allocate a base structure flex_array_free() - free the array and all of the second-level pages flex_array_free_parts() - free the second-level pages, but not the base (for static bases) flex_array_put() - copy into the array at the given index flex_array_get() - copy out of the array at the given index flex_array_prealloc() - preallocate the second-level pages between the given indexes to guarantee no allocs will occur at put() time. We could also potentially just pass the "element_size" into each of the API functions instead of storing it internally. That would get us one more base pointer on 32-bit. I've been testing this by running it in userspace. The header and patch that I've been using are here, as well as the little script I'm using to generate the size table which goes in the kerneldocs. http://sr71.net/~dave/linux/flexarray/ [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <dave@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2009-07-29cgroup avoid permanent sleep at rmdirKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
After commit ec64f51545fffbc4cb968f0cea56341a4b07e85a ("cgroup: fix frequent -EBUSY at rmdir"), cgroup's rmdir (especially against memcg) doesn't return -EBUSY by temporary ref counts. That commit expects all refs after pre_destroy() is temporary but...it wasn't. Then, rmdir can wait permanently. This patch tries to fix that and change followings. - set CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR flag before pre_destroy(). - clear CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR flag when the subsys finds racy case. if there are sleeping ones, wakes them up. - rmdir() sleeps only when CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR flag is set.

2009-07-29cgroups: fix pid namespace bugLi Zefan
The bug was introduced by commit cc31edceee04a7b87f2be48f9489ebb72d264844 ("cgroups: convert tasks file to use a seq_file with shared pid array"). We cache a pid array for all threads that are opening the same "tasks" file, but the pids in the array are always from the namespace of the last process that opened the file, so all other threads will read pids from that namespace instead of their own namespaces. To fix it, we maintain a list of pid arrays, which is keyed by pid_ns. The list will be of length 1 at most time.

2009-07-29pty: avoid forcing 'low_latency' tty flagOGAWA Hirofumi
We really don't want to mark the pty as a low-latency device, because as Alan points out, the ->write method can be called from an IRQ (ppp?), and that means we can't use ->low_latency=1 as we take mutexes in the low_latency case. So rather than using low_latency to force the written data to be pushed to the ldisc handling at 'write()' time, just make the reader side (or the poll function) do the flush when it checks whether there is data to be had. This also fixes the problem with lost data in an emacs compile buffer (bugzilla 13815), and we can thus revert the low_latency pty hack (commit 3a54297478e6578f96fd54bf4daa1751130aca86: "pty: quickfix for the pty ENXIO timing problems").

2009-07-29PM / Hibernate: Replace bdget call with simple atomic_inc of i_countAlan Jenkins
Create bdgrab(). This function copies an existing reference to a block_device. It is safe to call from any context. Hibernation code wishes to copy a reference to the active swap device. Right now it calls bdget() under a spinlock, but this is wrong because bdget() can sleep. It doesn't need a full bdget() because we already hold a reference to active swap devices (and the spinlock protects against swapoff).

2009-07-29drm/radeon/kms: add initial colortiling support.Dave Airlie
This adds new set/get tiling interfaces where the pitch and macro/micro tiling enables can be set. Along with a flag to decide if this object should have a surface when mapped. The only thing we need to allocate with a mapped surface should be the frontbuffer. Note rotate scanout shouldn't require one, and back/depth shouldn't either, though mesa needs some fixes. It fixes the TTM interfaces along Thomas's suggestions, and I've tested the surface stealing code with two X servers and not seen any lockdep issues. I've stopped tiling the fbcon frontbuffer, as I don't see there being any advantage other than testing, I've left the testing commands in there, just flip the fb_tiled to true in radeon_fb.c Open: Can we integrate endian swapping in with this? Future features: texture tiling - need to relocate texture registers TXOFFSET* with tiling info. This also merges Michel's cleanup surfaces regs at init time patch even though it makes sense on its own, this patch really relies on it. Some PowerMac firmwares set up a tiling surface at the beginning of VRAM which messes us up otherwise. that patch is: Signed-off-by: Michel Dänzer <daenzer@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com>
2009-07-28libata: accept late unlocking of HPATejun Heo
On certain configurations, HPA isn't or can't be unlocked during probing but it somehow ends up unlocked afterwards. In the following thread, the problem can be reliably reproduced after resuming from STR. The BIOS turns on HPA during boot but forgets to do it during resume. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/858310 This patch updates libata revalidation such that it considers native n_sectors. If the device size has increased to match native n_sectors, it's assumed that HPA has been unlocked involuntarily and the device is recognized as the same one. This should be fairly safe while nicely working around the problem.

2009-07-27mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb()Benjamin Herrenschmidt
mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb() Upcoming paches to support the new 64-bit "BookE" powerpc architecture will need to have the virtual address corresponding to PTE page when freeing it, due to the way the HW table walker works. Basically, the TLB can be loaded with "large" pages that cover the whole virtual space (well, sort-of, half of it actually) represented by a PTE page, and which contain an "indirect" bit indicating that this TLB entry RPN points to an array of PTEs from which the TLB can then create direct entries. Thus, in order to invalidate those when PTE pages are deleted, we need the virtual address to pass to tlbilx or tlbivax instructions. The old trick of sticking it somewhere in the PTE page struct page sucks too much, the address is almost readily available in all call sites and almost everybody implemets these as macros, so we may as well add the argument everywhere.

2009-07-22of/mdio: Add support function for Ethernet fixed-link propertyAnton Vorontsov
Fixed-link support is broken for the ucc_eth, gianfar, and fs_enet device drivers. The "OF MDIO rework" patches removed most of the support. Instead of re-adding fixed-link stuff to the drivers, this patch adds a support function for parsing the fixed-link property and obtaining a dummy phy to match. Note: the dummy phy handling in arch/powerpc is a bit of a hack and needs to be reworked. This function is being added now to solve the regression in the Ethernet drivers, but it should be considered a temporary measure until the fixed link handling can be reworked.

2009-07-22perf_counter: PERF_SAMPLE_ID and inherited countersPeter Zijlstra
Anton noted that for inherited counters the counter-id as provided by PERF_SAMPLE_ID isn't mappable to the id found through PERF_RECORD_ID because each inherited counter gets its own id. His suggestion was to always return the parent counter id, since that is the primary counter id as exposed. However, these inherited counters have a unique identifier so that events like PERF_EVENT_PERIOD and PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE can be specific about which counter gets modified, which is important when trying to normalize the sample streams. This patch removes PERF_EVENT_PERIOD in favour of PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD, which is more useful anyway, since changing periods became a lot more common than initially thought -- rendering PERF_EVENT_PERIOD the less useful solution (also, PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD reports the more accurate value, since it reports the value used to trigger the overflow, whereas PERF_EVENT_PERIOD simply reports the requested period changed, which might only take effect on the next cycle). This still leaves us PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE to consider, but since that _should_ be a rare occurrence, and linking it to a primary id is the most useful bit to diagnose the problem, we introduce a PERF_SAMPLE_STREAM_ID, for those few cases where the full reconstruction is important.

2009-07-22softirq: introduce tasklet_hrtimer infrastructurePeter Zijlstra
commit ca109491f (hrtimer: removing all ur callback modes) moved all hrtimer callbacks into hard interrupt context when high resolution timers are active. That breaks code which relied on the assumption that the callback happens in softirq context. Provide a generic infrastructure which combines tasklets and hrtimers together to provide an in-softirq hrtimer experience.

First we need a method to tell fsnotify_create_event() to use GFP_NOFS and second we need to stop using one global IN_IGNORED event and allocate them one at a time. This solves current issues with multiple IN_IGNORED on a queue having tail drop problems and simplifies the allocations since we don't have to worry about two tasks opperating on the IGNORED event concurrently.

2009-07-21genirq: Delegate irq affinity setting to the irq threadThomas Gleixner
irq_set_thread_affinity() calls set_cpus_allowed_ptr() which might sleep, but irq_set_thread_affinity() is called with desc->lock held and can be called from hard interrupt context as well. The code has another bug as it does not hold a ref on the task struct as required by set_cpus_allowed_ptr(). Just set the IRQTF_AFFINITY bit in action->thread_flags. The next time the thread runs it migrates itself. Solves all of the above problems nicely. Add kerneldoc to irq_set_thread_affinity() while at it.

2009-07-18sched: fix nr_uninterruptible accounting of frozen tasks reallyThomas Gleixner
commit e3c8ca8336 (sched: do not count frozen tasks toward load) broke the nr_uninterruptible accounting on freeze/thaw. On freeze the task is excluded from accounting with a check for (task->flags & PF_FROZEN), but that flag is cleared before the task is thawed. So while we prevent that the task with state TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE is accounted to nr_uninterruptible on freeze we decrement nr_uninterruptible on thaw. Use a separate flag which is handled by the freezing task itself. Set it before calling the scheduler with TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state and clear it after we return from frozen state.

2009-07-18vmlinux.lds.h: restructure BSS linker script macrosTim Abbott
The BSS section macros in vmlinux.lds.h currently place the .sbss input section outside the bounds of [__bss_start, __bss_end]. On all architectures except for microblaze that handle both .sbss and __bss_start/__bss_end, this is wrong: the .sbss input section is within the range [__bss_start, __bss_end]. Relatedly, the example code at the top of the file actually has __bss_start/__bss_end defined twice; I believe the right fix here is to define them in the BSS_SECTION macro but not in the BSS macro. Another problem with the current macros is that several architectures have an ALIGN(4) or some other small number just before __bss_stop in their linker scripts. The BSS_SECTION macro currently hardcodes this to 4; while it should really be an argument. It also ignores its sbss_align argument; fix that. mn10300 is the only user at present of any of the macros touched by this patch. It looks like mn10300 actually was incorrectly converted to use the new BSS() macro (the alignment of 4 prior to conversion was a __bss_stop alignment, but the argument to the BSS macro is a start alignment). So fix this as well. I'd like acks from Sam and David on this one. Also CCing Paul, since he has a patch from me which will need to be updated to use BSS_SECTION(0, PAGE_SIZE, 4) once this gets merged.
