2008-05-13cpumask: remove bitmap_scnprintf_len and cpumask_scnprintf_lenPaul Jackson
They aren't used. They were briefly used as part of some other patches to provide an alternative format for displaying some /proc and /sys cpumasks. They probably should have been removed when those other patches were dropped, in favor of a different solution.

2008-04-28mempolicy: add bitmap_onto() and bitmap_fold() operationsPaul Jackson
The following adds two more bitmap operators, bitmap_onto() and bitmap_fold(), with the usual cpumask and nodemask wrappers. The bitmap_onto() operator computes one bitmap relative to another. If the n-th bit in the origin mask is set, then the m-th bit of the destination mask will be set, where m is the position of the n-th set bit in the relative mask. The bitmap_fold() operator folds a bitmap into a second that has bit m set iff the input bitmap has some bit n set, where m == n mod sz, for the specified sz value. There are two substantive changes between this patch and its predecessor bitmap_relative: 1) Renamed bitmap_relative() to be bitmap_onto(). 2) Added bitmap_fold(). The essential motivation for bitmap_onto() is to provide a mechanism for converting a cpuset-relative CPU or Node mask to an absolute mask. Cpuset relative masks are written as if the current task were in a cpuset whose CPUs or Nodes were just the consecutive ones numbered 0..N-1, for some N. The bitmap_onto() operator is provided in anticipation of adding support for the first such cpuset relative mask, by the mbind() and set_mempolicy() system calls, using a planned flag of MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES. These bitmap operators (and their nodemask wrappers, in particular) will be used in code that converts the user specified cpuset relative memory policy to a specific system node numbered policy, given the current mems_allowed of the tasks cpuset. Such cpuset relative mempolicies will address two deficiencies of the existing interface between cpusets and mempolicies: 1) A task cannot at present reliably establish a cpuset relative mempolicy because there is an essential race condition, in that the tasks cpuset may be changed in between the time the task can query its cpuset placement, and the time the task can issue the applicable mbind or set_memplicy system call. 2) A task cannot at present establish what cpuset relative mempolicy it would like to have, if it is in a smaller cpuset than it might have mempolicy preferences for, because the existing interface only allows specifying mempolicies for nodes currently allowed by the cpuset. Cpuset relative mempolicies are useful for tasks that don't distinguish particularly between one CPU or Node and another, but only between how many of each are allowed, and the proper placement of threads and memory pages on the various CPUs and Nodes available. The motivation for the added bitmap_fold() can be seen in the following example. Let's say an application has specified some mempolicies that presume 16 memory nodes, including say a mempolicy that specified MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES (cpuset relative) nodes 12-15. Then lets say that application is crammed into a cpuset that only has 8 memory nodes, 0-7. If one just uses bitmap_onto(), this mempolicy, mapped to that cpuset, would ignore the requested relative nodes above 7, leaving it empty of nodes. That's not good; better to fold the higher nodes down, so that some nodes are included in the resulting mapped mempolicy. In this case, the mempolicy nodes 12-15 are taken modulo 8 (the weight of the mems_allowed of the confining cpuset), resulting in a mempolicy specifying nodes 4-7.

2008-04-19cpumask: add cpumask_scnprintf_len functionMike Travis
Add a new function cpumask_scnprintf_len() to return the number of characters needed to display "len" cpumask bits. The current method of allocating NR_CPUS bytes is incorrect as what's really needed is 9 characters per 32-bit word of cpumask bits (8 hex digits plus the seperator [','] or the terminating NULL.) This function provides the caller the means to allocate the correct string length. Cc: Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Travis <travis@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-11-05Fix bitmap_scnlistprintf for empty masksAndi Kleen
When a bitmap is empty bitmap_scnlistprintf() would leave the buffer uninitialized. Set it to an empty string in this case. I didn't see any in normal kernel callers hitting this, but some custom debug code of mine did.

2006-10-11[PATCH] bitmap: parse input from kernel and user buffersReinette Chatre
lib/bitmap.c:bitmap_parse() is a library function that received as input a user buffer. This seemed to have originated from the way the write_proc function of the /proc filesystem operates. This has been reworked to not use kmalloc and eliminates a lot of get_user() overhead by performing one access_ok before using __get_user(). We need to test if we are in kernel or user space (is_user) and access the buffer differently. We cannot use __get_user() to access kernel addresses in all cases, for example in architectures with separate address space for kernel and user. This function will be useful for other uses as well; for example, taking input for /sysfs instead of /proc, so it was changed to accept kernel buffers. We have this use for the Linux UWB project, as part as the upcoming bandwidth allocator code. Only a few routines used this function and they were changed too.

2006-03-24[PATCH] bitmap: region restructuringPaul Jackson
Restructure the bitmap_*_region() operations, to avoid code duplication. Also reduces binary text size by about 100 bytes (ia64 arch). The original Bottomley bitmap_*_region patch added about 1000 bytes of compiled kernel text (ia64). The Mundt multiword extension added another 600 bytes, and this restructuring patch gets back about 100 bytes. But the real motivation was the reduced amount of duplicated code. Tested by Paul Mundt using <= BITS_PER_LONG as well as power of 2 aligned multiword spanning allocations.

2006-03-24[PATCH] bitmap: region multiword spanning supportPaul Mundt
Add support to the lib/bitmap.c bitmap_*_region() routines For bitmap regions larger than one word (nbits > BITS_PER_LONG). This removes a BUG_ON() in lib bitmap. I have an updated store queue API for SH that is currently using this with relative success, and at first glance, it seems like this could be useful for x86 (arch/i386/kernel/pci-dma.c) as well. Particularly for anything using dma_declare_coherent_memory() on large areas and that attempts to allocate large buffers from that space. Paul Jackson also did some cleanup to this patch.

2006-03-24[PATCH] bitmap: region cleanupPaul Jackson
Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org> says: This patch set implements a number of patches to clean up and restructure the bitmap region code, in addition to extending the interface to support multiword spanning allocations. The current implementation (before this patch set) is limited by only being able to allocate pages <= BITS_PER_LONG, as noted by the strategically positioned BUG_ON() at lib/bitmap.c:752: /* We don't do regions of pages > BITS_PER_LONG. The * algorithm would be a simple look for multiple zeros in the * array, but there's no driver today that needs this. If you * trip this BUG(), you get to code it... */ BUG_ON(pages > BITS_PER_LONG); As I seem to have been the first person to trigger this, the result ends up being the following patch set with the help of Paul Jackson. The final patch in the series eliminates quite a bit of code duplication, so the bitmap code size ends up being smaller than the current implementation as an added bonus. After these are applied, it should already be possible to do multiword allocations with dma_alloc_coherent() out of ranges established by dma_declare_coherent_memory() on x86 without having to change any of the code, and the SH store queue API will follow up on this as the other user that needs support for this. This patch: Some code cleanup on the lib/bitmap.c bitmap_*_region() routines: * spacing * variable names * comments Has no change to code function.

2006-01-08[PATCH] cpuset: better bitmap remap defaultsPaul Jackson
Fix the default behaviour for the remap operators in bitmap, cpumask and nodemask. As previously submitted, the pair of masks <A, B> defined a map of the positions of the set bits in A to the corresponding bits in B. This is still true. The issue is how to map the other positions, corresponding to the unset (0) bits in A. As previously submitted, they were all mapped to the first set bit position in B, a constant map. When I tried to code per-vma mempolicy rebinding using these remap operators, I realized this was wrong. This patch changes the default to map all the unset bit positions in A to the same positions in B, the identity map. For example, if A has bits 4-7 set, and B has bits 9-12 set, then the map defined by the pair <A, B> maps each bit position in the first 32 bits as follows: 0 ==> 0 ... 3 ==> 3 4 ==> 9 ... 7 ==> 12 8 ==> 8 9 ==> 9 ... 31 ==> 31 This now corresponds to the typical behaviour desired when migrating pages and policies from one cpuset to another. The pages on nodes within the original cpuset, and the references in memory policies to nodes within the original cpuset, are migrated to the corresponding cpuset-relative nodes in the destination cpuset. Other pages and node references are left untouched. Signed-off-by: Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-10-30[PATCH] cpusets: bitmap and mask remap operatorsPaul Jackson
In the forthcoming task migration support, a key calculation will be mapping cpu and node numbers from the old set to the new set while preserving cpuset-relative offset. For example, if a task and its pages on nodes 8-11 are being migrated to nodes 24-27, then pages on node 9 (the 2nd node in the old set) should be moved to node 25 (the 2nd node in the new set.) As with other bitmap operations, the proper way to code this is to provide the underlying calculation in lib/bitmap.c, and then to provide the usual cpumask and nodemask wrappers. This patch provides that. These operations are termed 'remap' operations. Both remapping a single bit and a set of bits is supported.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
