* Add in SunOS 4.1.x compatible mode for UFSMark Fortescue2007-10-171-4/+51
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add in support for SunOS 4.1.x flavor of BSD 4.2 UFS filing system Macros have been put in to alow suport for the old static table Cylinder Groups but this implementation does not use them yet. This also fixes Solaris UFS filing system access by disabling fast symbolic links as Sun's version of UFS does not support on-disk fast symbolic links. Tested by: Ppartitioning a new disk using SunOS 4.1.1, creating a UFS filing system on one of the partitions and writing some files to the filing system. Using Linux-2.6.22 (patched) to read the files and then write a shed load of files to the UFS partition. Using SunOS 4.1.1 to verify the filing system is OK and to check the files. The test host is a sun4c SS1 Clone.

* fs: remove the unused mempages parameterDenis Cheng2007-10-171-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the mempages parameter is actually not used, they should be removed. Now there is only files_init use the mempages parameter, files_init(mempages); but I don't think the adaptation to mempages in files_init is really useful; and if files_init also changed to the prototype void (*func)(void), the wrapper vfs_caches_init would also not need the mempages parameter.

* Remove "unsafe" from module structRusty Russell2007-10-171-15/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adrian Bunk points out that "unsafe" was used to mark modules touched by the deprecated MOD_INC_USE_COUNT interface, which has long gone. It's time to remove the member from the module structure, as well. If you want a module which can't unload, don't register an exit function. (Vlad Yasevich says SCTP is now safe to unload, so just remove the __unsafe there).

* ext2: show all mount optionsMiklos Szeredi2007-10-171-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using mtab is problematic for various reasons, one of them is that unprivileged mounts won't turn up in there. So we want to get rid of it, and use /proc/mounts instead. But most filesystems are lazy, and are not showing all mount options. Which means, that without mtab, the user won't be able to see some or all of the options. It would be nice if the generic code could remember the mount options, and show them without the need to add extra code to filesystems. But this is not easy, because different filesystems handle mount options given options, and not tough the rest. This is not taken into account by mount(8) either, so /etc/mtab will be broken in this case. This series fixes up ->show_options() in ext[234].

* mm: test and set zone reclaim lock before starting reclaimDavid Rientjes2007-10-171-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduces new zone flag interface for testing and setting flags: int zone_test_and_set_flag(struct zone *zone, zone_flags_t flag) Instead of setting and clearing ZONE_RECLAIM_LOCKED each time shrink_zone() is called, this flag is test and set before starting zone reclaim. Zone reclaim starts in __alloc_pages() when a zone's watermark fails and the system is in zone_reclaim_mode. If it's already in reclaim, there's no need to start again so it is simply considered full for that allocation attempt. There is a change of behavior with regard to concurrent zone shrinking. It is now possible for try_to_free_pages() or kswapd to already be shrinking a particular zone when __alloc_pages() starts zone reclaim. In this case, it is possible for two concurrent threads to invoke shrink_zone() for a single zone. This change forbids a zone to be in zone reclaim twice, which was always the behavior, but allows for concurrent try_to_free_pages() or kswapd shrinking when starting zone reclaim.

* oom: compare cpuset mems_allowed instead of exclusive ancestorsDavid Rientjes2007-10-171-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of testing for overlap in the memory nodes of the the nearest exclusive ancestor of both current and the candidate task, it is better to simply test for intersection between the task's mems_allowed in their task descriptors. This does not require taking callback_mutex since it is only used as a hint in the badness scoring. Tasks that do not have an intersection in their mems_allowed with the current task are not explicitly restricted from being OOM killed because it is quite possible that the candidate task has allocated memory there before and has since changed its mems_allowed.

* oom: add per-zone lockingDavid Rientjes2007-10-172-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | OOM killer synchronization should be done with zone granularity so that memory policy and cpuset allocations may have their corresponding zones locked and allow parallel kills for other OOM conditions that may exist elsewhere in the system. DMA allocations can be targeted at the zone level, which would not be possible if locking was done in nodes or globally. Synchronization shall be done with a variation of "trylocks." The goal is to put the current task to sleep and restart the failed allocation attempt later if the trylock fails. Otherwise, the OOM killer is invoked. Each zone in the zonelist that __alloc_pages() was called with is checked for the newly-introduced ZONE_OOM_LOCKED flag. If any zone has this flag present, the "trylock" to serialize the OOM killer fails and returns zero. Otherwise, all the zones have ZONE_OOM_LOCKED set and the try_set_zone_oom() function returns non-zero.

* oom: change all_unreclaimable zone member to flagsDavid Rientjes2007-10-171-4/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert the int all_unreclaimable member of struct zone to unsigned long flags. This can now be used to specify several different zone flags such as all_unreclaimable and reclaim_in_progress, which can now be removed and converted to a per-zone flag. Flags are set and cleared as follows: zone_set_flag(struct zone *zone, zone_flags_t flag) zone_clear_flag(struct zone *zone, zone_flags_t flag) Defines the first zone flags, ZONE_ALL_UNRECLAIMABLE and ZONE_RECLAIM_LOCKED, which have the same semantics as the old zone->all_unreclaimable and zone->reclaim_in_progress, respectively. Also converts all current users that set or clear either flag to use the new interface. Helper functions are defined to test the flags: int zone_is_all_unreclaimable(const struct zone *zone) int zone_is_reclaim_locked(const struct zone *zone) All flag operators are of the atomic variety because there are currently readers that are implemented that do not take zone->lock.

This makes heavy writers have a lower dirty limit than the occasional writer. Andrea proposed something similar: http://lwn.net/Articles/152277/ The main disadvantage to his patch is that he uses an unrelated quantity to measure time, which leaves him with a workload dependant tunable. Other than that the two approaches appear quite similar.

* mm: per device dirty thresholdPeter Zijlstra2007-10-172-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Scale writeback cache per backing device, proportional to its writeout speed. By decoupling the BDI dirty thresholds a number of problems we currently have will go away, namely: - mutual interference starvation (for any number of BDIs); - deadlocks with stacked BDIs (loop, FUSE and local NFS mounts). It might be that all dirty pages are for a single BDI while other BDIs are idling. By giving each BDI a 'fair' share of the dirty limit, each one can have dirty pages outstanding and make progress. A global threshold also creates a deadlock for stacked BDIs; when A writes to B, and A generates enough dirty pages to get throttled, B will never start writeback until the dirty pages go away. Again, by giving each BDI its own 'independent' dirty limit, this problem is avoided. So the problem is to determine how to distribute the total dirty limit across the BDIs fairly and efficiently. A DBI that has a large dirty limit but does not have any dirty pages outstanding is a waste. What is done is to keep a floating proportion between the DBIs based on writeback completions. This way faster/more active devices get a larger share than slower/idle devices.

* lib: percpu_counter_subPeter Zijlstra2007-10-171-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hugh spotted that some code does: percpu_counter_add(&counter, -unsignedlong) which, when the amount argument is of type s32, sort-of works thanks to two's-complement. However when we'd change the type to s64 this breaks on 32bit machines, because the promotion rules zero extend the unsigned number. Provide percpu_counter_sub() to hide the s64 cast. That is: percpu_counter_sub(&counter, foo) is equal to: percpu_counter_add(&counter, -(s64)foo); Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* nfs: remove congestion_end()Peter Zijlstra2007-10-171-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These patches aim to improve balance_dirty_pages() and directly address three issues: 1) inter device starvation 2) stacked device deadlocks 3) inter process starvation 1 and 2 are a direct result from removing the global dirty limit and using per device dirty limits. By giving each device its own dirty limit is will no longer starve another device, and the cyclic dependancy on the dirty limit is broken. In order to efficiently distribute the dirty limit across the independant devices a floating proportion is used, this will allocate a share of the total limit proportional to the device's recent activity. 3 is done by also scaling the dirty limit proportional to the current task's recent dirty rate. This patch: nfs: remove congestion_end(). It's redundant, clear_bdi_congested() already wakes the waiters.

* powerpc: add Altivec/VMX state to coredumpsMark Nelson2007-10-172-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Update dump_task_altivec() (which has so far never been put to use) so that it dumps the Altivec/VMX registers (VR[0] - VR[31], VSCR and VRSAVE) in the same format as the ptrace get_vrregs(), and add the appropriate glue typedef and #defines to make it work. A new note type of NT_PPC_VMX was chosen to be 0x100 (arbitrarily) because it allows the low range values to be used for more generic purposes and 0x100 seems an adequate starting point for PowerPC extensions.

* x86: replace NT_PRXFPREG with ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE #defineMark Nelson2007-10-171-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace NT_PRXFPREG with ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE in the coredump code which allows for more flexibility in the note type for the state of 'extended floating point' implementations in coredumps. New note types can now be added with an appropriate #define. This does #define ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE to be NT_PRXFPREG in all current users so there's are no change in behaviour. This will let us use different note types on powerpc for the Altivec/VMX state that some PowerPC cpus have (G4, PPC970, POWER6) and for the SPE (signal processing extension) state that some embedded PowerPC cpus from Freescale have.

* partially fix up the lookup_one_noperm messChristoph Hellwig2007-10-171-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Try to fix the mess created by sysfs braindamage. - refactor code internal to fs/namei.c a little to avoid too much duplication: o __lookup_hash_kern is renamed back to __lookup_hash o the old __lookup_hash goes away, permission checks moves to the two callers o useless inline qualifiers on above functions go away - lookup_one_len_kern loses it's last argument and is renamed to lookup_one_noperm to make it's useage a little more clear - added kerneldoc comments to describe lookup_one_len aswell as lookup_one_noperm and make it very clear that no one should use the latter ever.

This fixes handling of "ide=nodma" kernel parameter for icside, ide-cris, au1xxx-ide, pmac, it821x, jmicron, sgiioc4 and siimage host drivers. * Remove hwif->autodma (it was not checked by IDE core code anyway) and drive->autodma (was set by all host drivers - except HPT345/TRM290 special cases - unless "ide=nodma" was used). While at it: - remove needless printk() from icside.c - remove stale FIXME/comment from ide-probe.c - don't force DMA off if PCI bus-mastering had to be enabled in setup-pci.c (this setting was always later over-ridden by host drivers anyway) Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com>
