2009-01-06mm: add dirty_background_bytes and dirty_bytes sysctlsDavid Rientjes
This change introduces two new sysctls to /proc/sys/vm: dirty_background_bytes and dirty_bytes. dirty_background_bytes is the counterpart to dirty_background_ratio and dirty_bytes is the counterpart to dirty_ratio. With growing memory capacities of individual machines, it's no longer sufficient to specify dirty thresholds as a percentage of the amount of dirtyable memory over the entire system. dirty_background_bytes and dirty_bytes specify quantities of memory, in bytes, that represent the dirty limits for the entire system. If either of these values is set, its value represents the amount of dirty memory that is needed to commence either background or direct writeback. When a `bytes' or `ratio' file is written, its counterpart becomes a function of the written value. For example, if dirty_bytes is written to be 8096, 8K of memory is required to commence direct writeback. dirty_ratio is then functionally equivalent to 8K / the amount of dirtyable memory: dirtyable_memory = free pages + mapped pages + file cache dirty_background_bytes = dirty_background_ratio * dirtyable_memory -or- dirty_background_ratio = dirty_background_bytes / dirtyable_memory AND dirty_bytes = dirty_ratio * dirtyable_memory -or- dirty_ratio = dirty_bytes / dirtyable_memory Only one of dirty_background_bytes and dirty_background_ratio may be specified at a time, and only one of dirty_bytes and dirty_ratio may be specified. When one sysctl is written, the other appears as 0 when read. The `bytes' files operate on a page size granularity since dirty limits are compared with ZVC values, which are in page units. Prior to this change, the minimum dirty_ratio was 5 as implemented by get_dirty_limits() although /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio would show any user written value between 0 and 100. This restriction is maintained, but dirty_bytes has a lower limit of only one page. Also prior to this change, the dirty_background_ratio could not equal or exceed dirty_ratio. This restriction is maintained in addition to restricting dirty_background_bytes. If either background threshold equals or exceeds that of the dirty threshold, it is implicitly set to half the dirty threshold.

2009-01-06mm: remove cgroup_mm_owner_callbacksHugh Dickins
cgroup_mm_owner_callbacks() was brought in to support the memrlimit controller, but sneaked into mainline ahead of it. That controller has now been shelved, and the mm_owner_changed() args were inadequate for it anyway (they needed an mm pointer instead of a task pointer). Remove the dead code, and restore mm_update_next_owner() locking to how it was before: taking mmap_sem there does nothing for memcontrol.c, now the only user of mm->owner.

2009-01-05module: convert to stop_machine_create/destroy.Heiko Carstens

2009-01-05stop_machine: introduce stop_machine_create/destroy.Heiko Carstens
Introduce stop_machine_create/destroy. With this interface subsystems that need a non-failing stop_machine environment can create the stop_machine machine threads before actually calling stop_machine. When the threads aren't needed anymore they can be killed with stop_machine_destroy again. When stop_machine gets called and the threads aren't present they will be created and destroyed automatically. This restores the old behaviour of stop_machine. This patch also converts cpu hotplug to the new interface since it is special: cpu_down calls __stop_machine instead of stop_machine. However the kstop threads will only be created when stop_machine gets called. Changing the code so that the threads would be created automatically on __stop_machine is currently not possible: when __stop_machine gets called we hold cpu_add_remove_lock, which is the same lock that create_rt_workqueue would take. So the workqueue needs to be created before the cpu hotplug code locks cpu_add_remove_lock.

2009-01-05kernel/module.c: compare symbol values when marking symbols as exported in ↵Tim Abbott
/proc/kallsyms. When there are two symbols in a module with the same name, one of which is exported, both will be marked as exported in /proc/kallsyms. There aren't any instances of this in the current kernel, but it is easy to construct a simple module with two compilation units that exhibits the problem. $ objdump -j .text -t testmod.ko | grep foo 00000000 l F .text 00000032 foo 00000080 g F .text 00000001 foo $ sudo insmod testmod.ko $ grep "T foo" /proc/kallsyms c28e8000 T foo [testmod] c28e8080 T foo [testmod] Fix this by comparing the symbol values once we've found the exported symbol table entry matching the symbol name.

2009-01-03sched: put back some stack hog changes that were undone in kernel/sched.cMike Travis
Impact: prevents panic from stack overflow on numa-capable machines. Some of the "removal of stack hogs" changes in kernel/sched.c by using node_to_cpumask_ptr were undone by the early cpumask API updates, and causes a panic due to stack overflow. This patch undoes those changes by using cpumask_of_node() which returns a 'const struct cpumask *'. In addition, cpu_coregoup_map is replaced with cpu_coregroup_mask further reducing stack usage. (Both of these updates removed 9 FIXME's!) Also: Pick up some remaining changes from the old 'cpumask_t' functions to the new 'struct cpumask *' functions.

2009-01-01cpumask: convert RCU implementationsRusty Russell
Impact: use new cpumask API. rcu_ctrlblk contains a cpumask, and it's highly optimized so I don't want a cpumask_var_t (ie. a pointer) for the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK case. It could use a dangling bitmap, and be allocated in __rcu_init to save memory, but for the moment we use a bitmap. (Eventually 'struct cpumask' will be undefined for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK, so we use a bitmap here to show we really mean it). We remove on-stack cpumasks, using cpumask_var_t for rcu_torture_shuffle_tasks() and for_each_cpu_and in force_quiescent_state(). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

2009-01-01cpumask: prepare for iterators to only go to nr_cpu_ids/nr_cpumask_bits.: coreRusty Russell
Impact: cleanup In future, all cpumask ops will only be valid (in general) for bit numbers < nr_cpu_ids. So use that instead of NR_CPUS in iterators and other comparisons. This is always safe: no cpu number can be >= nr_cpu_ids, and nr_cpu_ids is initialized to NR_CPUS at boot.
