2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.hTejun Heo1-0/+1
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2010-03-24Documentation/volatile-considered-harmful.txt: correct cpu_relax() documentationRussell King1-3/+3
cpu_relax() is documented in volatile-considered-harmful.txt to be a memory barrier. However, everyone with the exception of Blackfin and possibly ia64 defines cpu_relax() to be a compiler barrier. Make the documentation reflect the general concensus. Linus sayeth: : I don't think it was ever the intention that it would be seen as anything : but a compiler barrier, although it is obviously implied that it might : well perform some per-architecture actions that have "memory barrier-like" : semantics. : : After all, the whole and only point of the "cpu_relax()" thing is to tell : the CPU that we're busy-looping on some event. : : And that "event" might be (and often is) about reading the same memory : location over and over until it changes to what we want it to be. So it's : quite possible that on various architectures the "cpu_relax()" could be : about making sure that such a tight loop on loads doesn't starve cache : transactions, for example - and as such look a bit like a memory barrier : from a CPU standpoint. : : But it's not meant to have any kind of architectural memory ordering : semantics as far as the kernel is concerned - those must come from other : sources.

2010-03-12dma-mapping: dma-mapping.h: add dma_set_coherent_maskFUJITA Tomonori1-0/+10
dma_set_coherent_mask corresponds to pci_set_consistent_dma_mask. This is necessary to move to the generic device model DMA API from the PCI bus specific API in the long term. dma_set_coherent_mask works in the exact same way that pci_set_consistent_dma_mask does. So this patch also changes pci_set_consistent_dma_mask to call dma_set_coherent_mask.

2010-03-12dma-mapping.h: add the dma_unmap state APIFUJITA Tomonori1-0/+58
Adds the following macros: DECLARE_DMA_UNMAP_ADDR(ADDR_NAME) DECLARE_DMA_UNMAP_LEN(LEN_NAME) dma_unmap_addr(PTR, ADDR_NAME) dma_unmap_addr_set(PTR, ADDR_NAME, VAL) dma_unmap_len(PTR, LEN_NAME) dma_unmap_len_set(PTR, LEN_NAME, VAL) The API corresponds to the pci_unmap state API. We'll move to this new generic API from the PCI specific API in the long term. As include/asm-generic/pci-dma-compat.h does, the pci_unmap API simply calls the new generic API for some time.

2010-03-12DMA-API.txt: remove dma_sync_single_range descriptionFUJITA Tomonori1-10/+0
dma_sync_single_for_cpu/for_device supports a partial sync so there is no point to have dma_sync_single_range (also dma_sync_single was obsoleted long ago, replaced with dma_sync_single_for_cpu/for_device). There is no user of dma_sync_single_range() in mainline and only Alpha architecture supports dma_sync_single_range(). So it's unlikely that someone out of the tree uses it.

2010-03-12DMA-API.txt: add dma_sync_single/sg API descriptionFUJITA Tomonori1-0/+42
This adds the description of the following eight function: dma_sync_single_for_cpu pci_dma_sync_single_for_cpu dma_sync_single_for_device pci_dma_sync_single_for_device dma_sync_sg_for_cpu pci_dma_sync_sg_for_cpu dma_sync_sg_for_device pci_dma_sync_sg_for_device It was unclear that the API permits a partial sync (some network drivers already do though). I made it clear that the sync_single API can do a partial sync but the sync_sg API can't. We could do a partial sync with the sync_sg API too, however, it's difficult for driver writers to correctly use the sync_sg API for a partial sync since the scatterlists passed in to the mapping API can't be modified. It's unlikely that driver writers want to do a partial sync with the sync_sg API (because the sync_sg API are usually used for block drivers). So I think that it's better to forbid a partial sync with the sync_sg API.

2010-03-12ipmi: add parameter to limit CPU usage in kipmidMartin Wilck1-0/+12
In some cases kipmid can use a lot of CPU. This adds a way to tune the CPU used by kipmid to help in those cases. By setting kipmid_max_busy_us to a value between 100 and 500, it is possible to bring down kipmid CPU load to practically 0 without loosing too much ipmi throughput performance. Not setting the value, or setting the value to zero, operation is unaffected.

2010-03-12memcg: handle panic_on_oom=always caseKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2-2/+8
Presently, if panic_on_oom=2, the whole system panics even if the oom happend in some special situation (as cpuset, mempolicy....). Then, panic_on_oom=2 means painc_on_oom_always. Now, memcg doesn't check panic_on_oom flag. This patch adds a check. BTW, how it's useful ? kdump+panic_on_oom=2 is the last tool to investigate what happens in oom-ed system. When a task is killed, the sysytem recovers and there will be few hint to know what happnes. In mission critical system, oom should never happen. Then, panic_on_oom=2+kdump is useful to avoid next OOM by knowing precise information via snapshot. TODO: - For memcg, it's for isolate system's memory usage, oom-notiifer and freeze_at_oom (or rest_at_oom) should be implemented. Then, management daemon can do similar jobs (as kdump) or taking snapshot per cgroup.
