This was originally a driver for the ST M25P80 SPI flash. It's been
updated slightly to handle other M25P series chips.
For many of these chips, the specific type could be probed, but for now
this just requires static setup with flash_platform_data that lists the
chip type (size, format) and any default partitioning to use.

This adds a bitbanging spi master, hooking up to board/adapter-specific glue
code which knows how to set and read the signals (gpios etc).
This code kicks in after the glue code creates a platform_device with the
right platform_data. That data includes I/O loops, which will usually
come from expanding an inline function (provided in the header). One goal
is that the I/O loops should be easily optimized down to a few GPIO register
accesses, in common cases, for speed and minimized overhead.
This understands all the currently defined protocol tweaking options in the
SPI framework, and might eventually serve as as reference implementation.
- different word sizes (1..32 bits)
- differing clock rates
- SPI modes differing by CPOL (affecting chip select and I/O loops)
- SPI modes differing by CPHA (affecting I/O loops)
- delays (usecs) after transfers
- temporarily deselecting chips in mid-transfer
A lot of hardware could work with this framework, though common types of
controller can't reach peak performance without switching to a driver
structure that supports pipelining of transfers (e.g. DMA queues) and maybe
controllers (e.g. IRQ driven).

This is a refresh of the "Simple SPI Framework" found in 2.6.15-rc3-mm1
which makes the following changes:
* There's now a "struct spi_driver". This increase the footprint
of the core a bit, since it now includes code to do what the driver
core was previously handling directly. Documentation and comments
were updated to match.
* spi_alloc_master() now does class_device_initialize(), so it can
at least be refcounted before spi_register_master(). To match,
spi_register_master() switched over to class_device_add().
* States explicitly that after transfer errors, spi_devices will be
deselected. We want fault recovery procedures to work the same
for all controller drivers.
* Minor tweaks: controller_data no longer points to readonly data;
prevent some potential cast-from-null bugs with container_of calls;
clarifies some existing kerneldoc,

This is a driver for the ADS7846 touchscreen sensor, derived from
the corgi_ts and omap_ts drivers. Key differences from those two:
- Uses the new SPI framework (minimalist version)
- <linux/spi/ads7846.h> abstracts board-specific touchscreen info
- Sysfs attributes for the temperature and voltage sensors
- Uses fewer ARM-specific IRQ primitives
The temperature and voltage sensors show up in sysfs like this:
$ pwd
/sys/devices/platform/omap-uwire/spi2.0
$ ls
bus@ input:event0@ power/ temp1 vbatt
driver@ modalias temp0 vaux
$ cat modalias
ads7846
$ cat temp0
991
$ cat temp1
1177
$
So far only basic testing has been done. There's a fair amount of hardware
that uses this sensor, and which also runs Linux, which should eventually
be able to use this driver.
One portability note may be of special interest. It turns out that not all
SPI controllers are happy issuing requests that do things like "write 8 bit
command, read 12 bit response". Most of them seem happy to handle various
word sizes, so the issue isn't "12 bit response" but rather "different rx
and tx write sizes", despite that being a common MicroWire convention. So
this version of the driver no longer reads 12 bit native-endian words; it
reads 16-bit big-endian responses, then byteswaps them and shifts the
results to discard the noise.

This is the core of a small SPI framework, implementing the model of a
queue of messages which complete asynchronously (with thin synchronous
wrappers on top).
- It's still less than 2KB of ".text" (ARM). If there's got to be a
mid-layer for something so simple, that's the right size budget. :)
- The guts use board-specific SPI device tables to build the driver
model tree. (Hardware probing is rarely an option.)
- This version of Kconfig includes no drivers. At this writing there
are two known master controller drivers (PXA/SSP, OMAP MicroWire)
and three protocol drivers (CS8415a, ADS7846, DataFlash) with LKML
mentions of other drivers in development.
- No userspace API. There are several implementations to compare.
Implement them like any other driver, and bind them with sysfs.
The changes from last version posted to LKML (on 11-Nov-2005) are minor,
and include:
- One bugfix (removes a FIXME), with the visible effect of making device
names be "spiB.C" where B is the bus number and C is the chipselect.
- The "caller provides DMA mappings" mechanism now has kerneldoc, for
DMA drivers that want to be fancy.
- Hey, the framework init can be subsys_init. Even though board init
logic fires earlier, at arch_init ... since the framework init is
for driver support, and the board init support uses static init.
- Various additional spec/doc clarifications based on discussions
with other folk. It adds a brief "thank you" at the end, for folk
who've helped nudge this framework into existence.
As I've said before, I think that "protocol tweaking" is the main support
that this driver framework will need to evolve.

Patchset annotates arch/* uses of ->thread_info. Ones that really are about
access of thread_info of given process are simply switched to
task_thread_info(task); ones that deal with access to objects on stack are
switched to new helper - task_stack_page(). A _lot_ of the latter are
actually open-coded instances of "find where pt_regs are"; those are
consolidated into task_pt_regs(task) (many architectures actually have such
helper already).
Note that these annotations are not mandatory - any code not converted to
these helpers still works. However, they clean up a lot of places and have
actually caught a number of bugs, so converting out of tree ports would be a
good idea...
As an example of breakage caught by that stuff, see i386 pt_regs mess - we
used to have it open-coded in a bunch of places and when back in April Stas
had fixed a bug in copy_thread(), the rest had been left out of sync. That
required two followup patches (the latest - just before 2.6.15) _and_ still
had left /proc/*/stat eip field broken. Try ps -eo eip on i386 and watch the
junk...

This is the latest version of the scheduler cache-hot-auto-tune patch.
The first problem was that detection time scaled with O(N^2), which is
unacceptable on larger SMP and NUMA systems. To solve this:
- I've added a 'domain distance' function, which is used to cache
measurement results. Each distance is only measured once. This means
that e.g. on NUMA distances of 0, 1 and 2 might be measured, on HT
distances 0 and 1, and on SMP distance 0 is measured. The code walks
the domain tree to determine the distance, so it automatically follows
whatever hierarchy an architecture sets up. This cuts down on the boot
time significantly and removes the O(N^2) limit. The only assumption
is that migration costs can be expressed as a function of domain
distance - this covers the overwhelming majority of existing systems,
and is a good guess even for more assymetric systems.
[ People hacking systems that have assymetries that break this
assumption (e.g. different CPU speeds) should experiment a bit with
the cpu_distance() function. Adding a ->migration_distance factor to
the domain structure would be one possible solution - but lets first
see the problem systems, if they exist at all. Lets not overdesign. ]
Another problem was that only a single cache-size was used for measuring
the cost of migration, and most architectures didnt set that variable
up. Furthermore, a single cache-size does not fit NUMA hierarchies with
L3 caches and does not fit HT setups, where different CPUs will often
have different 'effective cache sizes'. To solve this problem:
- Instead of relying on a single cache-size provided by the platform and
sticking to it, the code now auto-detects the 'effective migration
cost' between two measured CPUs, via iterating through a wide range of
cachesizes. The code searches for the maximum migration cost, which
occurs when the working set of the test-workload falls just below the
'effective cache size'. I.e. real-life optimized search is done for
the maximum migration cost, between two real CPUs.
This, amongst other things, has the positive effect hat if e.g. two
CPUs share a L2/L3 cache, a different (and accurate) migration cost
will be found than between two CPUs on the same system that dont share
any caches.
(The reliable measurement of migration costs is tricky - see the source
for details.)
Furthermore i've added various boot-time options to override/tune
migration behavior.
Firstly, there's a blanket override for autodetection:
migration_cost=1000,2000,3000
will override the depth 0/1/2 values with 1msec/2msec/3msec values.
Secondly, there's a global factor that can be used to increase (or
decrease) the autodetected values:
migration_factor=120
will increase the autodetected values by 20%. This option is useful to
tune things in a workload-dependent way - e.g. if a workload is
cache-insensitive then CPU utilization can be maximized by specifying
migration_factor=0.
I've tested the autodetection code quite extensively on x86, on 3
P3/Xeon/2MB, and the autodetected values look pretty good:
Dual Celeron (128K L2 cache):
---------------------
migration cost matrix (max_cache_size: 131072, cpu: 467 MHz):

[01]: 1.7(1) -
---------------------
cacheflush times [2]: 0.0 (0) 1.7 (1784008)

Here the slow memory subsystem dominates system performance, and even
though caches are small, the migration cost is 1.7 msecs.
Dual HT P4 (512K L2 cache):
---------------------
migration cost matrix (max_cache_size: 524288, cpu: 2379 MHz):

---------------------
cacheflush times [2]: 0.0 (33900) 0.4 (448514)
---------------------
Here it can be seen that there is no migration cost between two HT
siblings (CPU#0/2 and CPU#1/3 are separate physical CPUs). A fast memory
system makes inter-physical-CPU migration pretty cheap: 0.4 msecs.

In the process of optimising our per cpu data code, I found a ppc64
compiler bug that has been around forever. Basically the current
RELOC_HIDE can end up trashing r30. Details of the bug can be found at
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25572
This bug is present in all compilers before 4.1. It is masked by the
fact that our current per cpu data code is inefficient and causes
other loads that end up marking r30 as used.
A workaround identified by Alan Modra is to use the =r asm constraint
instead of =g.

The API and code have been through various bits of initial review by
serial driver people but they definitely need to live somewhere for a
while so the unconverted drivers can get knocked into shape, existing
drivers that have been updated can be better tuned and bugs whacked out.
This replaces the tty flip buffers with kmalloc objects in rings. In the
normal situation for an IRQ driven serial port at typical speeds the
behaviour is pretty much the same, two buffers end up allocated and the
kernel cycles between them as before.
When there are delays or at high speed we now behave far better as the
buffer pool can grow a bit rather than lose characters. This also means
that we can operate at higher speeds reliably.
For drivers that receive characters in blocks (DMA based, USB and
especially virtualisation) the layer allows a lot of driver specific
code that works around the tty layer with private secondary queues to be
removed. The IBM folks need this sort of layer, the smart serial port
people do, the virtualisers do (because a virtualised tty typically
operates at infinite speed rather than emulating 9600 baud).
Finally many drivers had invalid and unsafe attempts to avoid buffer
overflows by directly invoking tty methods extracted out of the innards
of work queue structs. These are no longer needed and all go away. That
fixes various random hangs with serial ports on overflow.
The other change in here is to optimise the receive_room path that is
used by some callers. It turns out that only one ldisc uses receive room
except asa constant and it updates it far far less than the value is
read. We thus make it a variable not a function call.
I expect the code to contain bugs due to the size alone but I'll be
watching and squashing them and feeding out new patches as it goes.
Because the buffers now dynamically expand you should only run out of
buffering when the kernel runs out of memory for real. That means a lot of
the horrible hacks high performance drivers used to do just aren't needed any
more.
Description:
tty_insert_flip_char is an old API and continues to work as before, as does
tty_flip_buffer_push() [this is why many drivers dont need modification]. It
does now also return the number of chars inserted
There are also
tty_buffer_request_room(tty, len)
which asks for a buffer block of the length requested and returns the space
found. This improves efficiency with hardware that knows how much to
transfer.
and tty_insert_flip_string_flags(tty, str, flags, len)
to insert a string of characters and flags
For a smart interface the usual code is
len = tty_request_buffer_room(tty, amount_hardware_says);
tty_insert_flip_string(tty, buffer_from_card, len);
More description!
At the moment tty buffers are attached directly to the tty. This is causing a
lot of the problems related to tty layer locking, also problems at high speed
and also with bursty data (such as occurs in virtualised environments)
I'm working on ripping out the flip buffers and replacing them with a pool of
dynamically allocated buffers. This allows both for old style "byte I/O"
devices and also helps virtualisation and smart devices where large blocks of
data suddenely materialise and need storing.
So far so good. Lots of drivers reference tty->flip.*. Several of them also
call directly and unsafely into function pointers it provides. This will all
break. Most drivers can use tty_insert_flip_char which can be kept as an API
but others need more.
At the moment I've added the following interfaces, if people think more will
be needed now is a good time to say
int tty_buffer_request_room(tty, size)
Try and ensure at least size bytes are available, returns actual room (may be
zero). At the moment it just uses the flipbuf space but that will change.
Repeated calls without characters being added are not cumulative. (ie if you
call it with 1, 1, 1, and then 4 you'll have four characters of space. The
other functions will also try and grow buffers in future but this will be a
more efficient way when you know block sizes.
int tty_insert_flip_char(tty, ch, flag)
As before insert a character if there is room. Now returns 1 for success, 0
for failure.
int tty_insert_flip_string(tty, str, len)
Insert a block of non error characters. Returns the number inserted.
int tty_prepare_flip_string(tty, strptr, len)
Adjust the buffer to allow len characters to be added. Returns a buffer
pointer in strptr and the length available. This allows for hardware that
needs to use functions like insl or mencpy_fromio.

Turn noatime and nodiratime into per-mount instead of per-sb flags.
After all the preparations this is a rather trivial patch. The mount code
needs to treat the two options as per-mount instead of per-superblock, and
touch_atime needs to be changed to check the new MNT_ flags in addition to
the MS_ flags that are kept for filesystems that are always
noatime/nodiratime but not user settable anymore. Besides that core code
only nfs needed an update because it's leaving atime updates to the server
and thus sets the S_NOATIME flag on every inode, but needs to know whether
it's a real noatime mount for an getattr optimization.
While we're at it I've killed the IS_NOATIME/IS_NODIRATIME macros that were

This is the first step on the road towards asynchronous support in
the Crypto API. It adds support for having multiple crypto_alg objects
for the same algorithm registered in the system.
For example, each device driver would register a crypto_alg object
for each algorithm that it supports. While at the same time the
user may load software implementations of those same algorithms.
Users of the Crypto API may then select a specific implementation
by name, or choose any implementation for a given algorithm with
the highest priority.
The priority field is a 32-bit signed integer. In future it will be
possible to modify it from user-space.
This also provides a solution to the problem of selecting amongst

This moves the 32 bit ioctl compatibility handlers for

to each v4l device driver.
Unfortunately, there does not seem to be any code handling
the v4l2 ioctls, so quite often the code goes through two
separate conversions, first from 32 bit v4l to 64 bit v4l,
and from there to 64 bit v4l2. My patch does not change

Also, some drivers have additional ioctl numbers, for

Some long time ago, dentry struct was carefully tuned so that on 32 bits
UP, sizeof(struct dentry) was exactly 128, ie a power of 2, and a multiple
of memory cache lines.
Then RCU was added and dentry struct enlarged by two pointers, with nice
results for SMP, but not so good on UP, because breaking the above tuning
(128 + 8 = 136 bytes)
This patch reverts this unwanted side effect, by using an union (d_u),
where d_rcu and d_child are placed so that these two fields can share their
memory needs.
At the time d_free() is called (and d_rcu is really used), d_child is known
to be empty and not touched by the dentry freeing.
Lockless lookups only access d_name, d_parent, d_lock, d_op, d_flags (so
the previous content of d_child is not needed if said dentry was unhashed
but still accessed by a CPU because of RCU constraints)
As dentry cache easily contains millions of entries, a size reduction is
worth the extra complexity of the ugly C union.

Make it possible for a running process (such as gssapid) to be able to
instantiate a key, as was requested by Trond Myklebust for NFS4.
The patch makes the following changes:
(1) A new, optional key type method has been added. This permits a key type
to intercept requests at the point /sbin/request-key is about to be
spawned and do something else with them - passing them over the
rpc_pipefs files or netlink sockets for instance.
The uninstantiated key, the authorisation key and the intended operation
name are passed to the method.
(2) The callout_info is no longer passed as an argument to /sbin/request-key
to prevent unauthorised viewing of this data using ps or by looking in
/proc/pid/cmdline.
This means that the old /sbin/request-key program will not work with the
patched kernel as it will expect to see an extra argument that is no
longer there.
A revised keyutils package will be made available tomorrow.
(3) The callout_info is now attached to the authorisation key. Reading this
key will retrieve the information.
(4) A new field has been added to the task_struct. This holds the
authorisation key currently active for a thread. Searches now look here
for the caller's set of keys rather than looking for an auth key in the
lowest level of the session keyring.
This permits a thread to be servicing multiple requests at once and to
switch between them. Note that this is per-thread, not per-process, and
so is usable in multithreaded programs.
The setting of this field is inherited across fork and exec.
(5) A new keyctl function (KEYCTL_ASSUME_AUTHORITY) has been added that
permits a thread to assume the authority to deal with an uninstantiated
key. Assumption is only permitted if the authorisation key associated
with the uninstantiated key is somewhere in the thread's keyrings.
This function can also clear the assumption.
(6) A new magic key specifier has been added to refer to the currently
assumed authorisation key (KEY_SPEC_REQKEY_AUTH_KEY).
(7) Instantiation will only proceed if the appropriate authorisation key is
assumed first. The assumed authorisation key is discarded if
instantiation is successful.
(8) key_validate() is moved from the file of request_key functions to the
file of permissions functions.
(9) The documentation is updated.

SUS requires that when truncating a file to the size that it currently
is:
truncate and ftruncate should NOT modify ctime or mtime
O_TRUNC SHOULD modify ctime and mtime.
Currently mtime and ctime are always modified on most local
filesystems (side effect of ->truncate) or never modified (on NFS).
With this patch:
ATTR_CTIME|ATTR_MTIME are sent with ATTR_SIZE precisely when
an update of these times is required whether size changes or not
(via a new argument to do_truncate). This allows NFS to do
the right thing for O_TRUNC.
inode_setattr nolonger forces ATTR_MTIME|ATTR_CTIME when the ATTR_SIZE
sets the size to it's current value. This allows local filesystems
to do the right thing for f?truncate.
Also, the logic in inode_setattr is changed a bit so there are two return
points. One returns the error from vmtruncate if it failed, the other
returns 0 (there can be no other failure).
Finally, if vmtruncate succeeds, and ATTR_SIZE is the only change
requested, we now fall-through and mark_inode_dirty. If a filesystem did
not have a ->truncate function, then vmtruncate will have changed i_size,
without marking the inode as 'dirty', and I think this is wrong.

Some ARM platforms have the ability to program the interrupt controller to
detect various interrupt edges and/or levels. For some platforms, this is
critical to setup correctly, particularly those which the setting is dependent
on the device.
Currently, ARM drivers do (eg) the following:
err = request_irq(irq, ...);
set_irq_type(irq, IRQT_RISING);
However, if the interrupt has previously been programmed to be level sensitive
(for whatever reason) then this will cause an interrupt storm.
Hence, if we combine set_irq_type() with request_irq(), we can then safely set
the type prior to unmasking the interrupt. The unfortunate problem is that in
order to support this, these flags need to be visible outside of the ARM
architecture - drivers such as smc91x need these flags and they're
cross-architecture.
Finally, the SA_TRIGGER_* flag passed to request_irq() should reflect the
property that the device would like. The IRQ controller code should do its
best to select the most appropriate supported mode.

Fix more of longstanding bug in cpuset/mempolicy interaction.
NUMA mempolicies (mm/mempolicy.c) are constrained by the current tasks cpuset
to just the Memory Nodes allowed by that cpuset. The kernel maintains
internal state for each mempolicy, tracking what nodes are used for the
MPOL_INTERLEAVE, MPOL_BIND or MPOL_PREFERRED policies.
When a tasks cpuset memory placement changes, whether because the cpuset
changed, or because the task was attached to a different cpuset, then the
tasks mempolicies have to be rebound to the new cpuset placement, so as to
preserve the cpuset-relative numbering of the nodes in that policy.
An earlier fix handled such mempolicy rebinding for mempolicies attached to a
task.
This fix rebinds mempolicies attached to vma's (address ranges in a tasks
address space.) Due to the need to hold the task->mm->mmap_sem semaphore while
updating vma's, the rebinding of vma mempolicies has to be done when the
cpuset memory placement is changed, at which time mmap_sem can be safely
acquired. The tasks mempolicy is rebound later, when the task next attempts
to allocate memory and notices that its task->cpuset_mems_generation is
out-of-date with its cpusets mems_generation.
Because walking the tasklist to find all tasks attached to a changing cpuset
requires holding tasklist_lock, a spinlock, one cannot update the vma's of the
affected tasks while doing the tasklist scan. In general, one cannot acquire
a semaphore (which can sleep) while already holding a spinlock (such as
tasklist_lock). So a list of mm references has to be built up during the
tasklist scan, then the tasklist lock dropped, then for each mm, its mmap_sem
acquired, and the vma's in that mm rebound.
Once the tasklist lock is dropped, affected tasks may fork new tasks, before
their mm's are rebound. A kernel global 'cpuset_being_rebound' is set to
point to the cpuset being rebound (there can only be one; cpuset modifications
are done under a global 'manage_sem' semaphore), and the mpol_copy code that
is used to copy a tasks mempolicies during fork catches such forking tasks,
and ensures their children are also rebound.
When a task is moved to a different cpuset, it is easier, as there is only one
task involved. It's mm->vma's are scanned, using the same
mpol_rebind_policy() as used above.
It may happen that both the mpol_copy hook and the update done via the
tasklist scan update the same mm twice. This is ok, as the mempolicies of
each vma in an mm keep track of what mems_allowed they are relative to, and
safely no-op a second request to rebind to the same nodes.

Easy little optimization hack to avoid actually having to call
cpuset_zone_allowed() and check mems_allowed, in the main page allocation
routine, __alloc_pages(). This saves several CPU cycles per page allocation
on systems not using cpusets.
A counter is updated each time a cpuset is created or removed, and whenever
there is only one cpuset in the system, it must be the root cpuset, which
contains all CPUs and all Memory Nodes. In that case, when the counter is
one, all allocations are allowed.

Cleanup, reorganize and make more robust the mempolicy.c code to rebind
mempolicies relative to the containing cpuset after a tasks memory placement
changes.
The real motivator for this cleanup patch is to lay more groundwork for the
upcoming patch to correctly rebind NUMA mempolicies that are attached to vma's
after the containing cpuset memory placement changes.
NUMA mempolicies are constrained by the cpuset their task is a member of.
When either (1) a task is moved to a different cpuset, or (2) the 'mems'
mems_allowed of a cpuset is changed, then the NUMA mempolicies have embedded
node numbers (for MPOL_BIND, MPOL_INTERLEAVE and MPOL_PREFERRED) that need to
be recalculated, relative to their new cpuset placement.
The old code used an unreliable method of determining what was the old
mems_allowed constraining the mempolicy. It just looked at the tasks
mems_allowed value. This sort of worked with the present code, that just
rebinds the -task- mempolicy, and leaves any -vma- mempolicies broken,
referring to the old nodes. But in an upcoming patch, the vma mempolicies
will be rebound as well. Then the order in which the various task and vma
mempolicies are updated will no longer be deterministic, and one can no longer
count on the task->mems_allowed holding the old value for as long as needed.
It's not even clear if the current code was guaranteed to work reliably for
task mempolicies.
So I added a mems_allowed field to each mempolicy, stating exactly what
mems_allowed the policy is relative to, and updated synchronously and reliably
anytime that the mempolicy is rebound.
Also removed a useless wrapper routine, numa_policy_rebind(), and had its
caller, cpuset_update_task_memory_state(), call directly to the rewritten
policy_rebind() routine, and made that rebind routine extern instead of
static, and added a "mpol_" prefix to its name, making it
mpol_rebind_policy().

Provide a simple per-cpuset metric of memory pressure, tracking the -rate-
that the tasks in a cpuset call try_to_free_pages(), the synchronous
(direct) memory reclaim code.
This enables batch managers monitoring jobs running in dedicated cpusets to
efficiently detect what level of memory pressure that job is causing.
This is useful both on tightly managed systems running a wide mix of
submitted jobs, which may choose to terminate or reprioritize jobs that are
trying to use more memory than allowed on the nodes assigned them, and with
tightly coupled, long running, massively parallel scientific computing jobs
that will dramatically fail to meet required performance goals if they
start to use more memory than allowed to them.
This patch just provides a very economical way for the batch manager to
monitor a cpuset for signs of memory pressure. It's up to the batch
manager or other user code to decide what to do about it and take action.
==> Unless this feature is enabled by writing "1" to the special file
/dev/cpuset/memory_pressure_enabled, the hook in the rebalance
code of __alloc_pages() for this metric reduces to simply noticing
that the cpuset_memory_pressure_enabled flag is zero. So only
systems that enable this feature will compute the metric.
Why a per-cpuset, running average:
Because this meter is per-cpuset, rather than per-task or mm, the
system load imposed by a batch scheduler monitoring this metric is
sharply reduced on large systems, because a scan of the tasklist can be
avoided on each set of queries.
Because this meter is a running average, instead of an accumulating
counter, a batch scheduler can detect memory pressure with a single
read, instead of having to read and accumulate results for a period of
time.
Because this meter is per-cpuset rather than per-task or mm, the
batch scheduler can obtain the key information, memory pressure in a
cpuset, with a single read, rather than having to query and accumulate
results over all the (dynamically changing) set of tasks in the cpuset.
A per-cpuset simple digital filter (requires a spinlock and 3 words of data
per-cpuset) is kept, and updated by any task attached to that cpuset, if it
enters the synchronous (direct) page reclaim code.
A per-cpuset file provides an integer number representing the recent
(half-life of 10 seconds) rate of direct page reclaims caused by the tasks
in the cpuset, in units of reclaims attempted per second, times 1000.

sys_migrate_pages implementation using swap based page migration
This is the original API proposed by Ray Bryant in his posts during the first
half of 2005 on linux-mm@kvack.org and linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org.
The intent of sys_migrate is to migrate memory of a process. A process may
have migrated to another node. Memory was allocated optimally for the prior
context. sys_migrate_pages allows to shift the memory to the new node.
sys_migrate_pages is also useful if the processes available memory nodes have
changed through cpuset operations to manually move the processes memory. Paul
Jackson is working on an automated mechanism that will allow an automatic
migration if the cpuset of a process is changed. However, a user may decide
to manually control the migration.
This implementation is put into the policy layer since it uses concepts and
functions that are also needed for mbind and friends. The patch also provides
a do_migrate_pages function that may be useful for cpusets to automatically
move memory. sys_migrate_pages does not modify policies in contrast to Ray's
implementation.
The current code here is based on the swap based page migration capability and
thus is not able to preserve the physical layout relative to it containing
nodeset (which may be a cpuset). When direct page migration becomes available
then the implementation needs to be changed to do a isomorphic move of pages
between different nodesets. The current implementation simply evicts all
pages in source nodeset that are not in the target nodeset.
Patch supports ia64, i386 and x86_64.

This adds the basic page migration function with a minimal implementation that
only allows the eviction of pages to swap space.
Page eviction and migration may be useful to migrate pages, to suspend
programs or for remapping single pages (useful for faulty pages or pages with
soft ECC failures)
The process is as follows:
The function wanting to migrate pages must first build a list of pages to be
migrated or evicted and take them off the lru lists via isolate_lru_page().
isolate_lru_page determines that a page is freeable based on the LRU bit set.
Then the actual migration or swapout can happen by calling migrate_pages().
migrate_pages does its best to migrate or swapout the pages and does multiple
passes over the list. Some pages may only be swappable if they are not dirty.
migrate_pages may start writing out dirty pages in the initial passes over
the pages. However, migrate_pages may not be able to migrate or evict all
pages for a variety of reasons.
The remaining pages may be returned to the LRU lists using putback_lru_pages().
Changelog V4->V5:
- Use the lru caches to return pages to the LRU
Changelog V3->V4:
- Restructure code so that applying patches to support full migration does
require minimal changes. Rename swapout_pages() to migrate_pages().

- Extract common code from shrink_list() and swapout_pages()

This is the start of the `swap migration' patch series.
Swap migration allows the moving of the physical location of pages between
nodes in a numa system while the process is running. This means that the
virtual addresses that the process sees do not change. However, the system
rearranges the physical location of those pages.
The main intent of page migration patches here is to reduce the latency of
memory access by moving pages near to the processor where the process
accessing that memory is running.
The patchset allows a process to manually relocate the node on which its
pages are located through the MF_MOVE and MF_MOVE_ALL options while
setting a new memory policy.
The pages of process can also be relocated from another process using the
sys_migrate_pages() function call. Requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN. The migrate_pages
function call takes two sets of nodes and moves pages of a process that are
located on the from nodes to the destination nodes.
Manual migration is very useful if for example the scheduler has relocated a
process to a processor on a distant node. A batch scheduler or an
administrator can detect the situation and move the pages of the process
nearer to the new processor.
sys_migrate_pages() could be used on non-numa machines as well, to force all
of a particualr process's pages out to swap, if someone thinks that's useful.
Larger installations usually partition the system using cpusets into sections
of nodes. Paul has equipped cpusets with the ability to move pages when a
task is moved to another cpuset. This allows automatic control over locality
of a process. If a task is moved to a new cpuset then also all its pages are
moved with it so that the performance of the process does not sink
dramatically (as is the case today).
Swap migration works by simply evicting the page. The pages must be faulted
back in. The pages are then typically reallocated by the system near the node
where the process is executing.
For swap migration the destination of the move is controlled by the allocation
policy. Cpusets set the allocation policy before calling sys_migrate_pages()
in order to move the pages as intended.
No allocation policy changes are performed for sys_migrate_pages(). This
means that the pages may not faulted in to the specified nodes if no
allocation policy was set by other means. The pages will just end up near the
node where the fault occurred.
There's another patch series in the pipeline which implements "direct
migration".
The direct migration patchset extends the migration functionality to avoid
going through swap. The destination node of the relation is controllable
during the actual moving of pages. The crutch of using the allocation policy
to relocate is not necessary and the pages are moved directly to the target.
Its also faster since swap is not used.
And sys_migrate_pages() can then move pages directly to the specified node.
Implement functions to isolate pages from the LRU and put them back later.

An earlier implementation was provided by Hirokazu Takahashi
<taka@valinux.co.jp> and IWAMOTO Toshihiro <iwamoto@valinux.co.jp> for the

This patch introduces a new function run_on_each_cpu() that uses the
keventd() to run the LRU draining on each processor. Processors disable
preemption when dealing the LRU caches (these are per processor) and thus
executing LRU draining from another process is safe.

Add RPC client transport switch support for replacing buffer management
on a per-transport basis.
In the current IPv4 socket transport implementation, RPC buffers are
allocated as needed for each RPC message that is sent. Some transport
implementations may choose to use pre-allocated buffers for encoding,
sending, receiving, and unmarshalling RPC messages, however. For
transports capable of direct data placement, the buffers can be carved
out of a pre-registered area of memory rather than from a slab cache.

If the server receives an NLM cancel call and finds no waiting lock to
cancel, then chances are the lock has already been applied, and the client
just hadn't yet processed the NLM granted callback before it sent the
cancel.
The Open Group text, for example, perimts a server to return either success
(LCK_GRANTED) or failure (LCK_DENIED) in this case. But returning an error
seems more helpful; the client may be able to use it to recognize that a
race has occurred and to recover from the race.
So, modify the relevant functions to return an error in this case.

md supports multiple different RAID level, each being implemented by a
'personality' (which is often in a separate module).
These personalities have fairly artificial 'numbers'. The numbers
are use to:
1- provide an index into an array where the various personalities
are recorded
2- identify the module (via an alias) which implements are particular
personality.
Neither of these uses really justify the existence of personality numbers.
The array can be replaced by a linked list which is searched (array lookup
only happens very rarely). Module identification can be done using an alias
based on level rather than 'personality' number.
The current 'raid5' modules support two level (4 and 5) but only one
personality. This slight awkwardness (which was handled in the mapping from
level to personality) can be better handled by allowing raid5 to register 2
personalities.
With this change in place, the core md module does not need to have an
exhaustive list of all possible personalities, so other personalities can be
added independently.
This patch also moves the check for chunksize being non-zero into the ->run
routines for the personalities that need it, rather than having it in core-md.
This has a side effect of allowing 'faulty' and 'linear' not to have a
chunk-size set.

Add in correct read-error handling for resync and read-only situations.
When read-only, we don't over-write, so we need to mark the failed drive in
the r10_bio so we don't re-try it. During resync, we always read all blocks,
so if there is a read error, we simply over-write it with the good block that
we found (assuming we found one).
Note that the recovery case still isn't handled in an interesting way. There
is nothing useful to do for the 2-copies case. If there are 3 or more copies,
then we could try reading from one of the non-missing copies, but this is a

This patch introduces the swap map structure that can be used by swsusp for
keeping tracks of data pages written to the swap. The structure itself is

The overall idea is to reduce the amount of metadata written to the swap and
to write and read the image pages sequentially, in a file-alike way. This
makes the swap-handling part of swsusp fairly independent of its
snapshot-handling part and will hopefully allow us to completely separate
these two parts in the future.

(1) There are now shmem_mmap() and shmem_get_unmapped_area() functions to
allow the IPC SHM facilities to commune with the tiny-shmem and shmem
code.
(2) ramfs files now need resizing using do_truncate() rather than by modifying
the inode size directly (see shmem_file_setup()). This causes ramfs to
attempt to bind a block of pages of sufficient size to the inode.

The attached patch makes ramfs support shared-writable mmaps by:
(1) Attempting to perform a contiguous block allocation to the requested size
when truncate attempts to increase the file from zero size, such as
happens when:
fd = shm_open("/file/on/ramfs", ...):
ftruncate(fd, size_requested);
addr = mmap(NULL, subsize, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC, MAP_SHARED,
fd, offset);
(2) Permitting any shared-writable mapping over any contiguous set of extant
pages. get_unmapped_area() will return the address into the actual ramfs
pages. The mapping may start anywhere and be of any size, but may not go
over the end of file. Multiple mappings may overlap in any way.
(3) Not permitting a file to be shrunk if it would truncate any shared
mappings (private mappings are copied).
Thus this patch provides support for POSIX shared memory on NOMMU kernels,
with certain limitations such as there being a large enough block of pages
available to support the allocation and it only working on directly mappable
filesystems.

Optimise page_state manipulations by introducing interrupt unsafe accessors
to page_state fields. Callers must provide their own locking (either
disable interrupts or not update from interrupt context).
Switch over the hot callsites that can easily be moved under interrupts off
sections.

Several counters already have the need to use 64 atomic variables on 64 bit
platforms (see mm_counter_t in sched.h). We have to do ugly ifdefs to fall
back to 32 bit atomic on 32 bit platforms.
The VM statistics patch that I am working on will also make more extensive
use of atomic64.
This patch introduces a new type atomic_long_t by providing definitions in
asm-generic/atomic.h that works similar to the c "long" type. Its 32 bits
on 32 bit platforms and 64 bits on 64 bit platforms.
Also cleans up the determination of the mm_counter_t in sched.h.

Currently the function to build a zonelist for a BIND policy has the side
effect to set the policy_zone. This seems to be a bit strange. policy
zone seems to not be initialized elsewhere and therefore 0. Do we police
ZONE_DMA if no bind policy has been used yet?
This patch moves the determination of the zone to apply policies to into
the page allocator. We determine the zone while building the zonelist for
nodes.

There are numerous places we check whether a zone is populated or not.
Provide a helper function to check for populated zones and convert all

Before SPARSEMEM is initialised we cannot provide an efficient pfn_to_nid()
implmentation; before initialisation is complete we use early_pfn_to_nid()
to provide location information. Until recently there was no non-init user
of this functionality. Provide a post init pfn_to_nid() implementation.
Note that this implmentation assumes that the pfn passed has been validated
with pfn_valid(). The current single user of this function already has
this check.

There are three places we define pfn_to_nid(). Two in linux/mmzone.h and one
in asm/mmzone.h. These in essence represent the three memory models. The
definition in linux/mmzone.h under !NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES is both the FLATMEM
definition and the optimisation for single NUMA nodes; the one under SPARSEMEM
is the NUMA sparsemem one; the one in asm/mmzone.h under DISCONTIGMEM is the
discontigmem one. This is not in the least bit obvious, particularly the
connection between the non-NUMA optimisations and the memory models.
Two patches:
flatmem-split-out-memory-model: simplifies the selection of pfn_to_nid()
implementations. The selection is based primarily off the memory model
selected. Optimisations for non-NUMA are applied where needed.
sparse-provide-pfn_to_nid: implement pfn_to_nid() for SPARSEMEM
This patch:
pfn_to_nid is memory model specific
The pfn_to_nid() call is memory model specific. It represents the locality
identifier for the memory passed. Classically this would be a NUMA node,
but not a chunk of memory under DISCONTIGMEM.
The SPARSEMEM and FLATMEM memory model non-NUMA versions of pfn_to_nid()
are folded together under NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES, while DISCONTIGMEM has its
own optimisation. This is all very confusing.
This patch splits out each implementation of pfn_to_nid() so that we can
see them and the optimisations to each.
