2019-03-12generic radix treesKent Overstreet2-0/+13
Very simple radix tree implementation that supports storing arbitrary size entries, up to PAGE_SIZE - upcoming patches will convert existing flex_array users to genradixes. The new genradix code has a much simpler API and implementation, and doesn't have a hard limit on the number of elements like flex_array does.

2019-02-20XArray: Use xa_cmpxchg to implement xa_reserveMatthew Wilcox1-1/+0

2019-02-06XArray: Add cyclic allocationMatthew Wilcox1-1/+3
This differs slightly from the IDR equivalent in five ways. 1. It can allocate up to UINT_MAX instead of being limited to INT_MAX, like xa_alloc(). Also like xa_alloc(), it will write to the 'id' pointer before placing the entry in the XArray. 2. The 'next' cursor is allocated separately from the XArray instead of being part of the IDR. This saves memory for all the users which do not use the cyclic allocation API and suits some users better. 3. It returns -EBUSY instead of -ENOSPC. 4. It will attempt to wrap back to the minimum value on memory allocation failure as well as on an -EBUSY error, assuming that a user would rather allocate a small ID than suffer an ID allocation failure. 5. It reports whether it has wrapped, which is important to some users. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org>
2019-02-06XArray: Add support for 1s-based allocationMatthew Wilcox1-3/+7
A lot of places want to allocate IDs starting at 1 instead of 0. While the xa_alloc() API supports this, it's not very efficient if lots of IDs are allocated, due to having to walk down to the bottom of the tree to see if ID 1 is available, then all the way over to the next non-allocated ID. This method marks ID 0 as being occupied which wastes one slot in the XArray, but preserves xa_empty() as working. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org>
2019-02-06XArray: Change xa_insert to return -EBUSYMatthew Wilcox1-1/+1
Userspace translates EEXIST to "File exists" which isn't a very good error message for the problem. "Device or resource busy" is a better indication of what went wrong. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org>
2019-02-04refcount_t: Add ACQUIRE ordering on success for dec(sub)_and_test() variantsElena Reshetova1-3/+21
This adds an smp_acquire__after_ctrl_dep() barrier on successful decrease of refcounter value from 1 to 0 for refcount_dec(sub)_and_test variants and therefore gives stronger memory ordering guarantees than prior versions of these functions.

2018-10-21xarray: Add range store functionalityMatthew Wilcox1-0/+8
This version of xa_store_range() really only supports load and store. Our only user only needs basic load and store functionality, so there's no need to do the extra work to support marking and overlapping stores correctly yet. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org>
2018-10-21xarray: Track free entries in an XArrayMatthew Wilcox1-3/+20
Add the optional ability to track which entries in an XArray are free and provide xa_alloc() to replace most of the functionality of the IDR. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org>
2018-10-21xarray: Add xa_reserve and xa_releaseMatthew Wilcox1-0/+6
This function reserves a slot in the XArray for users which need to acquire multiple locks before storing their entry in the tree and so cannot use a plain xa_store(). Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org>
2018-10-21xarray: Add documentationMatthew Wilcox2-0/+405
This is documentation on how to use the XArray, not details about its internal implementation. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org> Acked-by: Josef Bacik <jbacik@fb.com>

2018-10-12doc: printk-formats: Remove bogus kobject references for device nodesGeert Uytterhoeven1-3/+3
When converting from text to rst, the kobjects section and its sole subsection about device tree nodes were coalesced into a single section, yielding an inconsistent result. Remove all references to kobjects, as 1. Device tree object pointers are not compatible to kobject pointers (the former may embed the latter, though), and 2. there are no printk formats defined for kobject types. Update the vsprintf() source code comments to match the above. Fixes: b3ed23213eab1e08 ("doc: convert printk-formats.txt to rst") Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@glider.be> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

Let's document the magic a bit, especially why device_hotplug_lock is required when adding/removing memory and how it all play together with requests to online/offline memory from user space.

2018-10-12lib/vsprintf: Hash legacy clock addressesGeert Uytterhoeven1-3/+2
On platforms using the Common Clock Framework, "%pC" prints the clock's name. On legacy platforms, it prints the unhashed clock's address, potentially leaking sensitive information regarding the kernel layout in memory. Avoid this leak by printing the hashed address instead. To distinguish between clocks, a 32-bit unique identifier is as good as an actual pointer value. Fixes: ad67b74d2469d9b8 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181011084249.4520-3-geert+renesas@glider.be To: "Tobin C .

There were several rounds of the patches that enabled "functions" directive with no parameters in kerneldoc.py to allow including all the kernel-doc comments except the DOC: sections. Yet, the boot-time-mm.rst sneaked in with the older version of that directive and was not updated. Update it now.
