2009-04-01fbdev: update s1d13xxxfb to differ between revisions and production idsKristoffer Ericson1-6/+10
The s1d13xxx chip provides two values of identification value: the Production id (e.g 13506/13505/13806..) and a revision number 0,1,2,3). Together these can help us to differentiate between similiar setups. This patch adds the proper way of grabbing both those values and save them for future reference (in order to decide what functions a card supports, e.g acceleration). We also move away from the concept of all s1d13xxx = s1d13806 when we really support alot more.

2009-04-01epoll keyed wakeups: add __wake_up_locked_key() and __wake_up_sync_key()Davide Libenzi1-2/+5
This patchset introduces wakeup hints for some of the most popular (from epoll POV) devices, so that epoll code can avoid spurious wakeups on its waiters. The problem with epoll is that the callback-based wakeups do not, ATM, carry any information about the events the wakeup is related to. So the only choice epoll has (not being able to call f_op->poll() from inside the callback), is to add the file* to a ready-list and resolve the real events later on, at epoll_wait() (or its own f_op->poll()) time. This can cause spurious wakeups, since the wake_up() itself might be for an event the caller is not interested into. The rate of these spurious wakeup can be pretty high in case of many network sockets being monitored. By allowing devices to report the events the wakeups refer to (at least the two major classes - POLLIN/POLLOUT), we are able to spare useless wakeups by proper handling inside the epoll's poll callback. Epoll will have in any case to call f_op->poll() on the file* later on, since the change to be done in order to have the full event set sent via wakeup, is too invasive for the way our f_op->poll() system works (the full event set is calculated inside the poll function - there are too many of them to even start thinking the change - also poll/select would need change too). Epoll is changed in a way that both devices which send event hints, and the ones that don't, are correctly handled. The former will gain some efficiency though. As a general rule for devices, would be to add an event mask by using key-aware wakeup macros, when making up poll wait queues. I tested it (together with the epoll's poll fix patch Andrew has in -mm) and wakeups for the supported devices are correctly filtered. Test program available here: http://www.xmailserver.org/epoll_test.c This patch: Nothing revolutionary here. Just using the available "key" that our wakeup core already support. The __wake_up_locked_key() was no brainer, since both __wake_up_locked() and __wake_up_locked_key() are thin wrappers around __wake_up_common(). The __wake_up_sync() function had a body, so the choice was between borrowing the body for __wake_up_sync_key() and calling it from __wake_up_sync(), or make an inline and calling it from both. I chose the former since in most archs it all resolves to "mov $0, REG; jmp ADDR".

2009-04-01eventfd: improve support for semaphore-like behaviorDavide Libenzi1-1/+11
People started using eventfd in a semaphore-like way where before they were using pipes. That is, counter-based resource access. Where a "wait()" returns immediately by decrementing the counter by one, if counter is greater than zero. Otherwise will wait. And where a "post(count)" will add count to the counter releasing the appropriate amount of waiters. If eventfd the "post" (write) part is fine, while the "wait" (read) does not dequeue 1, but the whole counter value. The problem with eventfd is that a read() on the fd returns and wipes the whole counter, making the use of it as semaphore a little bit more cumbersome. You can do a read() followed by a write() of COUNTER-1, but IMO it's pretty easy and cheap to make this work w/out extra steps. This patch introduces a new eventfd flag that tells eventfd to only dequeue 1 from the counter, allowing simple read/write to make it behave like a semaphore. Simple test here: http://www.xmailserver.org/eventfd-sem.c To be back-compatible with earlier kernels, userspace applications should probe for the availability of this feature via #ifdef EFD_SEMAPHORE fd = eventfd2 (CNT, EFD_SEMAPHORE); if (fd == -1 && errno == EINVAL) <fallback> #else <fallback> #endif Signed-off-by: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: <linux-api@vger.kernel.org> Tested-by: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> Cc: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2009-04-01filesystem freeze: allow SysRq emergency thaw to thaw frozen filesystemsEric Sandeen1-0/+1
Now that the filesystem freeze operation has been elevated to the VFS, and is just an ioctl away, some sort of safety net for unintentionally frozen root filesystems may be in order. The timeout thaw originally proposed did not get merged, but perhaps something like this would be useful in emergencies. For example, freeze /path/to/mountpoint may freeze your root filesystem if you forgot that you had that unmounted. I chose 'j' as the last remaining character other than 'h' which is sort of reserved for help (because help is generated on any unknown character). I've tested this on a non-root fs with multiple (nested) freezers, as well as on a system rendered unresponsive due to a frozen root fs.

2009-04-01loop: add ioctl to resize a loop deviceJ. R. Okajima1-0/+1
Add the ability to 'resize' the loop device on the fly. One practical application is a loop file with XFS filesystem, already mounted: You can easily enlarge the file (append some bytes) and then call ioctl(fd, LOOP_SET_CAPACITY, new); The loop driver will learn about the new size and you can use xfs_growfs later on, which will allow you to use full capacity of the loop file without the need to unmount.

2009-04-01shmem: writepage directly to swapHugh Dickins1-0/+5
Synopsis: if shmem_writepage calls swap_writepage directly, most shmem swap loads benefit, and a catastrophic interaction between SLUB and some flash storage is avoided. shmem_writepage() has always been peculiar in making no attempt to write: it has just transferred a shmem page from file cache to swap cache, then let that page make its way around the LRU again before being written and freed. The idea was that people use tmpfs because they want those pages to stay in RAM; so although we give it an overflow to swap, we should resist writing too soon, giving those pages a second chance before they can be reclaimed. That was always questionable, and I've toyed with this patch for years; but never had a clear justification to depart from the original design. It became more questionable in 2.6.28, when the split LRU patches classed shmem and tmpfs pages as SwapBacked rather than as file_cache: that in itself gives them more resistance to reclaim than normal file pages. I prepared this patch for 2.6.29, but the merge window arrived before I'd completed gathering statistics to justify sending it in. Then while comparing SLQB against SLUB, running SLUB on a laptop I'd habitually used with SLAB, I found SLUB to run my tmpfs kbuild swapping tests five times slower than SLAB or SLQB - other machines slower too, but nowhere near so bad. Simpler "cp -a" swapping tests showed the same. slub_max_order=0 brings sanity to all, but heavy swapping is too far from normal to justify such a tuning. The crucial factor on that laptop turns out to be that I'm using an SD card for swap. What happens is this: By default, SLUB uses order-2 pages for shmem_inode_cache (and many other fs inodes), so creating tmpfs files under memory pressure brings lumpy reclaim into play. One subpage of the order is chosen from the bottom of the LRU as usual, then the other three picked out from their random positions on the LRUs. In a tmpfs load, many of these pages will be ones which already passed through shmem_writepage, so already have swap allocated. And though their offsets on swap were probably allocated sequentially, now that the pages are picked off at random, their swap offsets are scattered. But the flash storage on the SD card is very sensitive to having its writes merged: once swap is written at scattered offsets, performance falls apart. Rotating disk seeks increase too, but less disastrously. So: stop giving shmem/tmpfs pages a second pass around the LRU, write them out to swap as soon as their swap has been allocated. It's surely possible to devise an artificial load which runs faster the old way, one whose sizing is such that the tmpfs pages on their second pass are the ones that are wanted again, and other pages not. But I've not yet found such a load: on all machines, under the loads I've tried, immediate swap_writepage speeds up shmem swapping: especially when using the SLUB allocator (and more effectively than slub_max_order=0), but also with the others; and it also reduces the variance between runs. How much faster varies widely: a factor of five is rare, 5% is common. One load which might have suffered: imagine a swapping shmem load in a limited mem_cgroup on a machine with plenty of memory. Before 2.6.29 the swapcache was not charged, and such a load would have run quickest with the shmem swapcache never written to swap. But now swapcache is charged, so even this load benefits from shmem_writepage directly to swap. Apologies for the #ifndef CONFIG_SWAP swap_writepage() stub in swap.h: it's silly because that will never get called; but refactoring shmem.c sensibly according to CONFIG_SWAP will be a separate task.

try_to_free_pages() is used for the direct reclaim of up to SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages when watermarks are low. The caller to alloc_pages_nodemask() can specify a nodemask of nodes that are allowed to be used but this is not passed to try_to_free_pages(). This can lead to unnecessary reclaim of pages that are unusable by the caller and int the worst case lead to allocation failure as progress was not been make where it is needed. This patch passes the nodemask used for alloc_pages_nodemask() to try_to_free_pages().

2009-04-01mm: page_mkwrite change prototype to match faultNick Piggin2-2/+3
Change the page_mkwrite prototype to take a struct vm_fault, and return VM_FAULT_xxx flags. There should be no functional change. This makes it possible to return much more detailed error information to the VM (and also can provide more information eg. virtual_address to the driver, which might be important in some special cases). This is required for a subsequent fix. And will also make it easier to merge page_mkwrite() with fault() in future.

2009-04-01mm: enable hashdist by default on 64bit NUMAAnton Blanchard1-3/+3
On PowerPC we allocate large boot time hashes on node 0. This leads to an imbalance in the free memory, for example on a 64GB box (4 x 16GB nodes): Free memory: Node 0: 97.03% Node 1: 98.54% Node 2: 98.42% Node 3: 98.53% If we switch to using vmalloc (like ia64 and x86-64) things are more balanced: Free memory: Node 0: 97.53% Node 1: 98.35% Node 2: 98.33% Node 3: 98.33% For many HPC applications we are limited by the free available memory on the smallest node, so even though the same amount of memory is used the better balancing helps. Since all 64bit NUMA capable architectures should have sufficient vmalloc space, it makes sense to enable it via CONFIG_64BIT. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Acked-by: David S.

TICK_NSEC = 999848 ACTHZ = 256039 Keeping in-kernel variable in units passed from userspace will fix issue of course, but this probably won't be right for every sysctl.

2009-04-01generic debug pageallocAkinobu Mita3-0/+37
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is now supported by x86, powerpc, sparc64, and s390. This patch implements it for the rest of the architectures by filling the pages with poison byte patterns after free_pages() and verifying the poison patterns before alloc_pages(). This generic one cannot detect invalid page accesses immediately but invalid read access may cause invalid dereference by poisoned memory and invalid write access can be detected after a long delay.

2009-04-01memdup_user(): introduceLi Zefan1-0/+1
I notice there are many places doing copy_from_user() which follows kmalloc(): dst = kmalloc(len, GFP_KERNEL); if (!dst) return -ENOMEM; if (copy_from_user(dst, src, len)) { kfree(dst); return -EFAULT } memdup_user() is a wrapper of the above code. With this new function, we don't have to write 'len' twice, which can lead to typos/mistakes. It also produces smaller code and kernel text. A quick grep shows 250+ places where memdup_user() *may* be used. I'll prepare a patchset to do this conversion.
