52cf25d0ab Driver core: Constify struct sysfs_ops in struct kobj_type
Constify struct sysfs_ops.

This is part of the ops structure constification
effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.

Benefits of this constification:

 * prevents modification of data that is shared
   (referenced) by many other structure instances
   at runtime

 * detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
   modification attempts on archs that enforce
   read-only kernel data at runtime

 * potentially better optimized code as the compiler
   can assume that the const data cannot be changed

 * the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
   and therefore exclude them from false sharing

The problem is that kobject_add_internal() first adds a kobject to the
kset and then try to create sysfs directory for it.  If the creation
fails, it remove the kobject from the kset.  get_device_parent()
accesses class_dirs kset while only holding class_dirs.list_lock to
see whether the cuse class dir exists.  But when it exists, it may not
have finished initialization yet or may fail and get removed soon.  In
the above case, the former happened so the second one ends up trying
to create subdirectory under NULL sysfs_dirent.

Fix it by grabbing a mutex in get_device_parent().

There are subsystems whose power management callbacks only need to
invoke the callbacks provided by device drivers.  Still, their system
sleep PM callbacks should play well with the runtime PM callbacks,
so that devices suspended at run time can be left in that state for

f8824cee40 PM: Allow device drivers to use dpm_wait()
There are some dependencies between devices (in particular, between
EHCI USB controllers and their OHCI/UHCI siblings) which are not
reflected by the structure of the device tree.  With synchronous
suspend and resume these dependencies are taken into accout
automatically, because the devices in question are always registered
in the right order, but to meet these constraints with asynchronous
suspend and resume the drivers of these devices will need to use
dpm_wait() in their suspend/resume routines, so introduce a helper
function allowing them to do that.

97df8c1299 PM: Start asynchronous resume threads upfront
It has been shown by testing that total device resume time can be
reduced significantly (by as much as 50% or more) if the async
threads executing some devices' resume routines are all started
before the main resume thread starts to handle the "synchronous"
devices.

This is a consequence of the fact that the slowest devices tend to be
located at the end of dpm_list, so their resume routines are started
very late.  Consequently, they have to wait for all the preceding
"synchronous" devices before their resume routines can be started
by the main resume thread, even if they are "asynchronous".  By
starting their async threads upfront we effectively move those
devices towards the beginning of dpm_list, without breaking their
ordering with respect to their parents and children.  As a result,
their resume routines are started much earlier and we are able to
save much more device resume time this way.

5af84b8270 PM: Asynchronous suspend and resume of devices
Theoretically, the total time of system sleep transitions (suspend
to RAM, hibernation) can be reduced by running suspend and resume
callbacks of device drivers in parallel with each other.  However,
there are dependencies between devices such that we're not allowed
to suspend the parent of a device before suspending the device
itself.  Analogously, we're not allowed to resume a device before
resuming its parent.

The most straightforward way to take these dependencies into accout
is to start the async threads used for suspending and resuming
devices at the core level, so that async_schedule() is called for
each suspend and resume callback supposed to be executed
asynchronously.

For this purpose, introduce a new device flag, power.async_suspend,
used to mark the devices whose suspend and resume callbacks are to be
executed asynchronously (ie. in parallel with the main suspend/resume
thread and possibly in parallel with each other) and helper function
device_enable_async_suspend() allowing one to set power.async_suspend
for given device (power.async_suspend is unset by default for all
devices).  For each device with the power.async_suspend flag set the
PM core will use async_schedule() to execute its suspend and resume
callbacks.

The async threads started for different devices as a result of
calling async_schedule() are synchronized with each other and with
the main suspend/resume thread with the help of completions, in the
following way:
(1) There is a completion, power.completion, for each device object.
(2) Each device's completion is reset before calling async_schedule()
    for the device or, in the case of devices with the
    power.async_suspend flags unset, before executing the device's
    suspend and resume callbacks.
(3) During suspend, right before running the bus type, device type
    and device class suspend callbacks for the device, the PM core
    waits for the completions of all the device's children to be
    completed.
(4) During resume, right before running the bus type, device type and
    device class resume callbacks for the device, the PM core waits
    for the completion of the device's parent to be completed.
(5) The PM core completes power.completion for each device right
    after the bus type, device type and device class suspend (or
    resume) callbacks executed for the device have returned.

There is nothing arch specific to devtmpfs. This part crashes because the
kernel tries to modify the data read-only section which is write protected
on s390.

8ff410daa0 sysdev: fix prototype for memory_sysdev_class show/store functions
The function prototype mismatches in call stack:

                [<ffffffff81494268>] print_block_size+0x58/0x60
                [<ffffffff81487e3f>] sysdev_class_show+0x1f/0x30
                [<ffffffff811d629b>] sysfs_read_file+0xcb/0x1f0
                [<ffffffff81176328>] vfs_read+0xc8/0x180

Due to prototype mismatch, print_block_size() will sprintf() into
*attribute instead of *buf, hence user space will read the initial
zeros from *buf:
	$ hexdump /sys/devices/system/memory/block_size_bytes
	0000000 0000 0000 0000 0000
	0000008

After patch:
	cat /sys/devices/system/memory/block_size_bytes
	0x8000000

This complements commits c29af9636 and 4a0b2b4dbe.

e6309e7568 Driver-core: Fix bogus 0 error return in device_add()
If device_add() is called with a device which does not have dev->p set
up, then device_private_init() is called. If that succeeds, then the
error variable is set to 0. Now if the dev_name(dev) check further
down fails, then device_add() correctly terminates, but returns 0.
That of course lets the driver progress. If later another driver uses
this half set up device as parent then device_add() of the child
device explodes and renders sysfs completely unusable.

Set the error to -EINVAL if dev_name() check fails.

f1f76f865b devtmpfs: Convert dirlock to a mutex
devtmpfs has a rw_lock dirlock which serializes delete_path and
create_path.

This code was obviously never tested with the usual set of debugging
facilities enabled. In the dirlock held sections the code calls:

 - vfs functions which take mutexes
 - kmalloc(, GFP_KERNEL)

In both code pathes the might sleep warning triggers and spams dmesg.

Convert the rw_lock to a mutex. There is no reason why this needs to
be a rwlock.

a6ab7aa9f4 PM / Runtime: Use device type and device class callbacks
The power management of some devices is handled through device types
and device classes rather than through bus types.  Since these
devices may also benefit from using the run-time power management
core, extend it so that the device type and device class run-time PM
callbacks can be taken into consideration by it if the bus type
callback is not defined.

Update the run-time PM core documentation to reflect this change.

aa0baaef97 PM: Use pm_runtime_put_sync in system resume
This patch (as1317) fixes a bug in the PM core.  When a device is
resumed following a system sleep, the core decrements the device's
runtime PM usage counter but doesn't issue an idle notification if the
counter reaches 0.  This could prevent an otherwise unused device from
being runtime-suspended again after the system sleep.

The fix is to call pm_runtime_put_sync() instead of
pm_runtime_put_noidle().

925cc71e51 mm: Add notifier in pageblock isolation for balloon drivers
Memory balloon drivers can allocate a large amount of memory which is not
movable but could be freed to accomodate memory hotplug remove.

Prior to calling the memory hotplug notifier chain the memory in the
pageblock is isolated.  Currently, if the migrate type is not
MIGRATE_MOVABLE the isolation will not proceed, causing the memory removal
for that page range to fail.

Rather than failing pageblock isolation if the migrateteype is not
MIGRATE_MOVABLE, this patch checks if all of the pages in the pageblock,
and not on the LRU, are owned by a registered balloon driver (or other
entity) using a notifier chain.  If all of the non-movable pages are owned
by a balloon, they can be freed later through the memory notifier chain
and the range can still be isolated in set_migratetype_isolate().

875ab0b74e PM: Make the initcall_debug style timing for suspend/resume complete
Commit f251177486
(PM: Add initcall_debug style timing for suspend/resume) introduced
basic timing instrumentation, needed for a scritps/bootgraph.pl
equivalent or humans, but it missed the fact that bus types and
device classes which haven't been switched to using struct dev_pm_ops
objects yet need special handling.  As a result, the suspend/resume
timing information is only available for devices whose bus types or
device classes use struct dev_pm_ops objects, so the majority of
devices is not covered.

Fix this by adding basic suspend/resume timing instrumentation for
devices whose bus types and device classes still don't use struct
dev_pm_ops objects for power management.  To reduce code duplication
move the timing code to helper functions.

facb6011f3 HWPOISON: Add soft page offline support
This is a simpler, gentler variant of memory_failure() for soft page
offlining controlled from user space.  It doesn't kill anything, just
tries to invalidate and if that doesn't work migrate the
page away.

This is useful for predictive failure analysis, where a page has
a high rate of corrected errors, but hasn't gone bad yet. Instead
it can be offlined early and avoided.

The offlining is controlled from sysfs, including a new generic
entry point for hard page offlining for symmetry too.

We use the page isolate facility to prevent re-allocation
race. Normally this is only used by memory hotplug. To avoid
races with memory allocation I am using lock_system_sleep().
This avoids the situation where memory hotplug is about
to isolate a page range and then hwpoison undoes that work.
This is a big hammer currently, but the simplest solution
currently.

When the page is not free or LRU we try to free pages
from slab and other caches. The slab freeing is currently
quite dumb and does not try to focus on the specific slab
cache which might own the page. This could be potentially
improved later.

Thanks to Fengguang Wu and Haicheng Li for some fixes.

This patch causes the unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes() nodemask to be

dee5d0d518 mm: add numa node symlink for memory section in sysfs
Commit c04fc586c (mm: show node to memory section relationship with
symlinks in sysfs) created symlinks from nodes to memory sections, e.g.

/sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory135 -> ../../memory/memory135

If you're examining the memory section though and are wondering what node
it might belong to, you can find it by grovelling around in sysfs, but
it's a little cumbersome.

Add a reverse symlink for each memory section that points back to the
node to which it belongs.

39da08cb07 hugetlb: offload per node attribute registrations
Offload the registration and unregistration of per node hstate sysfs
attributes to a worker thread rather than attempt the
allocation/attachment or detachment/freeing of the attributes in the
context of the memory hotplug handler.

I don't know that this is absolutely required, but the registration can
sleep in allocations and other mem hot plug handlers do it this way.  If
it turns out this is NOT required, we can drop this patch.

N.B.,  Only tested build, boot, libhugetlbfs regression.
       i.e., no memory hotplug testing.

4faf8d950e hugetlb: handle memory hot-plug events
Register per node hstate attributes only for nodes with memory.  As
suggested by David Rientjes.

With Memory Hotplug, memory can be added to a memoryless node and a node
with memory can become memoryless.  Therefore, add a memory on/off-line
notifier callback to [un]register a node's attributes on transition
to/from memoryless state.

9a30523066 hugetlb: add per node hstate attributes
Add the per huge page size control/query attributes to the per node
sysdevs:

/sys/devices/system/node/node<ID>/hugepages/hugepages-<size>/
	nr_hugepages       - r/w
	free_huge_pages    - r/o
	surplus_huge_pages - r/o

The patch attempts to re-use/share as much of the existing global hstate
attribute initialization and handling, and the "nodes_allowed" constraint
processing as possible.

Calling set_max_huge_pages() with no node indicates a change to global
hstate parameters.  In this case, any non-default task mempolicy will be
used to generate the nodes_allowed mask.  A valid node id indicates an
update to that node's hstate parameters, and the count argument specifies
the target count for the specified node.  From this info, we compute the
target global count for the hstate and construct a nodes_allowed node mask
contain only the specified node.

Setting the node specific nr_hugepages via the per node attribute
effectively ignores any task mempolicy or cpuset constraints.

With this patch:

(me):ls /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB
./  ../  free_hugepages  nr_hugepages  surplus_hugepages

Starting from:
Node 0 HugePages_Total:     0

vm.nr_hugepages = 0

Allocate 16 persistent huge pages on node 2:
(me):echo 16 >/sys/devices/system/node/node2/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages

[Note that this is equivalent to:
	numactl -m 2 hugeadmin --pool-pages-min 2M:+16
]

Yields:
Node 0 HugePages_Total:     0
Node 0 HugePages_Free:      0

Unfortunately, one cannot hold on to the struct firmware

in some cases. Allow this by requiring the callback to
free it (via release_firmware).

Additionally, give it a gfp_t parameter -- all the current
users call it from a GFP_KERNEL context so the GFP_ATOMIC
isn't necessary. This also marks an API break which is
useful in a sense, although that is obviously not the
primary purpose of this change.

51badebdcf powerpc/pseries: Serialize cpu hotplug operations during deactivate Vs deallocate
Currently the cpu-allocation/deallocation process comprises of two steps:
- Set the indicators and to update the device tree with DLPAR node
  information.

- Online/offline the allocated/deallocated CPU.

This is achieved by writing to the sysfs tunables "probe" during allocation
and "release" during deallocation.

At the sametime, the userspace can independently online/offline the CPUs of
the system using the sysfs tunable "online".

It is quite possible that when a userspace tool offlines a CPU
for the purpose of deallocation and is in the process of updating the device
tree, some other userspace tool could bring the CPU back online by writing to
the "online" sysfs tunable thereby causing the deallocate process to fail.

The solution to this is to serialize writes to the "probe/release" sysfs
tunable with the writes to the "online" sysfs tunable.

This patch employs a mutex to provide this serialization, which is a no-op on
all architectures except PPC_PSERIES

12633e803a sysfs/cpu: Add probe/release files
Version 3 of this patch is updated with documentation added to
Documentation/ABI.  There are no changes to any of the C code from v2
of the patch.

In order to support kernel DLPAR of CPU resources we need to provide an
interface to add (probe) and remove (release) the resource from the system.
This patch Creates new generic probe and release sysfs files to facilitate
cpu probe/release.  The probe/release interface provides for allowing each
arch to supply their own routines for implementing the backend of adding
and removing cpus to/from the system.

This also creates the powerpc specific stubs to handle the arch callouts
from writes to the sysfs files.

The creation and use of these files is regulated by the
CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE option so that only architectures that need the
capability will have the files created.

63c9480170 PM / Runtime: Use deferred_resume flag in pm_request_resume
This patch (as1307) adds a small optimization to
__pm_request_resume().  If the device is currently being suspended,
there's no need to queue a work routine to resume it.  Setting the
deferred_resume flag will suffice.  (There's also a minor improvement
to the function's code layout: An unnecessary "else" is removed.)

Also, the patch clarifies the usage of the deferred_resume flag.  It
is meaningful only while a suspend is in progress, so it should be
cleared just before a suspend starts, not just after one ends.

3b034b0d08 percpu: Fix kdump failure if booted with percpu_alloc=page
o kdump functionality reserves a per cpu area at boot time and exports the
  physical address of that area to user space through sys interface. This
  area stores some dump related information like cpu register states etc
  at the time of crash.

o We were assuming that per cpu area always come from linearly mapped meory
  region and using __pa() to determine physical address.
  With percpu_alloc=page, per cpu area can come from vmalloc region also and
  __pa() breaks.

o This patch implments a new function to convert per cpu address to
  physical address.

Before the patch, crash_notes addresses looked as follows.

cpu0 60fffff49800
cpu1 60fffff60800
cpu2 60fffff77800

These are bogus phsyical addresses.

After the patch, address are following.

cpu0 13eb44000
cpu1 13eb43000
cpu2 13eb42000
cpu3 13eb41000

These look fine. I got 4G of memory and /proc/iomem tell me following.

e528e87689 PM: Fix warning on suspend errors
Fixes the point where we need to complete the power transition when
device suspend fails, so that we don't print warnings about devices
added to the device hierarchy after a failing suspend.

1a6f2a7512 Driver core: allow certain drivers prohibit bind/unbind via sysfs
Platform drivers registered via platform_driver_probe() can be bound
to devices only once, upon registration, because discard their probe()
routines to save memory. Unbinding the driver through sysfs 'unbind'
leaves the device stranded and confuses users so let's not create
bind and unbind attributes for such drivers.

39acbc12af Driver core: fix driver_register() return value
In this patch:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=16dc42e018c2868211b4928f20a957c0c216126c
the check was added for another driver to already claim the same device
on the same bus. But the returned error code was wrong: to modprobe, the
-EEXIST means that _this_ driver is already installed. It therefore
doesn't produce the needed error message when _another_ driver is trying
to register for the same device.  Returning -EBUSY fixes the problem.

4b02108ac1 mm: oom analysis: add shmem vmstat
Recently we encountered OOM problems due to memory use of the GEM cache.
Generally a large amuont of Shmem/Tmpfs pages tend to create a memory
shortage problem.

We often use the following calculation to determine the amount of shmem
pages:

shmem = NR_ACTIVE_ANON + NR_INACTIVE_ANON - NR_ANON_PAGES

however the expression does not consider isolated and mlocked pages.

This patch adds explicit accounting for pages used by shmem and tmpfs.

c6a7f5728a mm: oom analysis: Show kernel stack usage in /proc/meminfo and OOM log output
The amount of memory allocated to kernel stacks can become significant and
cause OOM conditions.  However, we do not display the amount of memory
consumed by stacks.

Add code to display the amount of memory used for stacks in /proc/meminfo.

e454cea20b Driver-Core: extend devnode callbacks to provide permissions
This allows subsytems to provide devtmpfs with non-default permissions
for the device node. Instead of the default mode of 0600, null, zero,
random, urandom, full, tty, ptmx now have a mode of 0666, which allows
non-privileged processes to access standard device nodes in case no
other userspace process applies the expected permissions.

This also fixes a wrong assignment in pktcdvd and a checkpatch.pl complain.

2b2af54a5b Driver Core: devtmpfs - kernel-maintained tmpfs-based /dev
Devtmpfs lets the kernel create a tmpfs instance called devtmpfs
very early at kernel initialization, before any driver-core device
is registered. Every device with a major/minor will provide a
device node in devtmpfs.

Devtmpfs can be changed and altered by userspace at any time,
and in any way needed - just like today's udev-mounted tmpfs.
Unmodified udev versions will run just fine on top of it, and will
recognize an already existing kernel-created device node and use it.
The default node permissions are root:root 0600. Proper permissions
and user/group ownership, meaningful symlinks, all other policy still
needs to be applied by userspace.

If a node is created by devtmps, devtmpfs will remove the device node
when the device goes away. If the device node was created by
userspace, or the devtmpfs created node was replaced by userspace, it
will no longer be removed by devtmpfs.

If it is requested to auto-mount it, it makes init=/bin/sh work
without any further userspace support. /dev will be fully populated
and dynamic, and always reflect the current device state of the kernel.
With the commonly used dynamic device numbers, it solves the problem
where static devices nodes may point to the wrong devices.

It is intended to make the initial bootup logic simpler and more robust,
by de-coupling the creation of the inital environment, to reliably run
userspace processes, from a complex userspace bootstrap logic to provide
a working /dev.
