* drivers/rtc/class.c: use struct device as the first argument for ↵Jingoo Han2013-04-301-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | devm_rtc_device_register() Other devm_* APIs use 'struct device *dev' as the first argument. Thus, in order to sync with other devm_* functions, struct device is used as the first argument for devm_rtc_device_register().

* backlight: lp855x: remove duplicate platform dataKim, Milo2013-04-301-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 'load_new_rom_data' was used for checking whether new ROM data should be updated or not. However, we can decide it with 'size_program' data. If the size is greater than 0, it means updating ROM area is required. Otherwise, the default ROM data will be used. Therefore, this duplicate platform data can be removed.

* backlight: lp855x: move backlight mode platform dataKim, Milo2013-04-301-7/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The brightness of LP855x devices is controlled by I2C register or PWM input . This mode was selected through the platform data, but it can be chosen by the driver internally without platform data configuration. How to decide the control mode: If the PWM period has specific value, the mode is PWM input. On the other hand, the mode is register-based. This mode selection is done on the _probe(). Move 'mode' from a header file to the driver private data structure, 'lp855 x'. And correlated code was replaced.

* drivers/video/backlight/platform_lcd.c: introduce probe callbackAndrew Bresticker2013-04-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Platform LCD devices may need to do some device-specific initialization before they can be used (regulator or GPIO setup, for example), but currently the driver does not support any way of doing this. This patch adds a probe() callback to plat_lcd_data which platform LCD devices can set to indicate that device-specific initialization is needed.

The corresponding platform device is then fed into dev_get_gen_pool and the resulting gen_pool is returned.

* mm: allow for outstanding swap writeback accountingSeth Jennings2013-04-301-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To prevent flooding the swap device with writebacks, frontswap backends need to count and limit the number of outstanding writebacks. The incrementing of the counter can be done before the call to __swap_writepage(). However, the caller must receive a notification when the writeback completes in order to decrement the counter. To achieve this functionality, this patch modifies __swap_writepage() to take the bio completion callback function as an argument. end_swap_bio_write(), the normal bio completion function, is also made non-static so that code doing the accounting can call it after the accounting is done. There should be no behavioural change to existing code.

* mm: break up swap_writepage() for frontswap backendsSeth Jennings2013-04-301-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | swap_writepage() is currently where frontswap hooks into the swap write path to capture pages with the frontswap_store() function. However, if a frontswap backend wants to "resume" the writeback of a page to the swap device, it can't call swap_writepage() as the page will simply reenter the backend. This patch separates swap_writepage() into a top and bottom half, the bottom half named __swap_writepage() to allow a frontswap backend, like zswap, to resume writeback beyond the frontswap_store() hook. __add_to_swap_cache() is also made non-static so that the page for which writeback is to be resumed can be added to the swap cache.

* memcg: add memory.pressure_level eventsAnton Vorontsov2013-04-301-0/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With this patch userland applications that want to maintain the interactivity/memory allocation cost can use the pressure level notifications. The levels are defined like this: The "low" level means that the system is reclaiming memory for new allocations. Monitoring this reclaiming activity might be useful for maintaining cache level. Upon notification, the program (typically "Activity Manager") might analyze vmstat and act in advance (i.e. prematurely shutdown unimportant services). The "medium" level means that the system is experiencing medium memory pressure, the system might be making swap, paging out active file caches, etc. Upon this event applications may decide to further analyze vmstat/zoneinfo/memcg or internal memory usage statistics and free any resources that can be easily reconstructed or re-read from a disk. The "critical" level means that the system is actively thrashing, it is about to out of memory (OOM) or even the in-kernel OOM killer is on its way to trigger. Applications should do whatever they can to help the system. It might be too late to consult with vmstat or any other statistics, so it's advisable to take an immediate action. The events are propagated upward until the event is handled, i.e. the events are not pass-through. Here is what this means: for example you have three cgroups: A->B->C. Now you set up an event listener on cgroups A, B and C, and suppose group C experiences some pressure. In this situation, only group C will receive the notification, i.e. groups A and B will not receive it. This is done to avoid excessive "broadcasting" of messages, which disturbs the system and which is especially bad if we are low on memory or thrashing. So, organize the cgroups wisely, or propagate the events manually (or, ask us to implement the pass-through events, explaining why would you need them.) Performance wise, the memory pressure notifications feature itself is lightweight and does not require much of bookkeeping, in contrast to the rest of memcg features. Unfortunately, as of current memcg implementation, pages accounting is an inseparable part and cannot be turned off. The good news is that there are some efforts[1] to improve the situation; plus, implementing the same, fully API-compatible[2] interface for CONFIG_MEMCG=n case (e.g. embedded) is also a viable option, so it will not require any changes on the userland side.

* resource: add release_mem_region_adjustable()Toshi Kani2013-04-301-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add release_mem_region_adjustable(), which releases a requested region from a currently busy memory resource. This interface adjusts the matched memory resource accordingly even if the requested region does not match exactly but still fits into. This new interface is intended for memory hot-delete. During bootup, memory resources are inserted from the boot descriptor table, such as EFI Memory Table and e820. Each memory resource entry usually covers the whole contigous memory range. Memory hot-delete request, on the other hand, may target to a particular range of memory resource, and its size can be much smaller than the whole contiguous memory. Since the existing release interfaces like __release_region() require a requested region to be exactly matched to a resource entry, they do not allow a partial resource to be released. This new interface is restrictive (i.e. release under certain conditions), which is consistent with other release interfaces, __release_region() and __release_resource(). Additional release conditions, such as an overlapping region to a resource entry, can be supported after they are confirmed as valid cases. There is no change to the existing interfaces since their restriction is valid for I/O resources.

Limit the growth of the memory reserved for other user processes to min(3% current process size, user_reserve_pages). Only about 8MB is necessary to enable recovery in the default mode, and only a few hundred MB are required even when overcommit is disabled. user_reserve_pages defaults to min(3% free pages, 128MB) I arrived at 128MB by taking the max VSZ of sshd, login, bash, and top ... then adding the RSS of each. This only affects OVERCOMMIT_NEVER mode. Background 1. user reserve __vm_enough_memory reserves a hardcoded 3% of the current process size for other applications when overcommit is disabled. This was done so that a user could recover if they launched a memory hogging process. Without the reserve, a user would easily run into a message such as: bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory 2. admin reserve Additionally, a hardcoded 3% of free memory is reserved for root in both overcommit 'guess' and 'never' modes. This was intended to prevent a scenario where root-cant-log-in and perform recovery operations. Note that this reserve shrinks, and doesn't guarantee a useful reserve. Motivation The two hardcoded memory reserves should be updated to account for current memory sizes. Also, the admin reserve would be more useful if it didn't shrink too much. When the current code was originally written, 1GB was considered "enterprise". Now the 3% reserve can grow to multiple GB on large memory systems, and it only needs to be a few hundred MB at most to enable a user or admin to recover a system with an unwanted memory hogging process. I've found that reducing these reserves is especially beneficial for a specific type of application load: * single application system * one or few processes (e.g. one per core) * allocating all available memory * not initializing every page immediately * long running I've run scientific clusters with this sort of load. A long running job sometimes failed many hours (weeks of CPU time) into a calculation. They weren't initializing all of their memory immediately, and they weren't using calloc, so I put systems into overcommit 'never' mode. These clusters run diskless and have no swap. However, with the current reserves, a user wishing to allocate as much memory as possible to one process may be prevented from using, for example, almost 2GB out of 32GB. The effect is less, but still significant when a user starts a job with one process per core. I have repeatedly seen a set of processes requesting the same amount of memory fail because one of them could not allocate the amount of memory a user would expect to be able to allocate. For example, Message Passing Interfce (MPI) processes, one per core. And it is similar for other parallel programming frameworks. Changing this reserve code will make the overcommit never mode more useful by allowing applications to allocate nearly all of the available memory. Also, the new admin_reserve_kbytes will be safer than the current behavior since the hardcoded 3% of available memory reserve can shrink to something useless in the case where applications have grabbed all available memory. Risks * "bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory" The downside of the first patch-- which creates a tunable user reserve that is only used in overcommit 'never' mode--is that an admin can set it so low that a user may not be able to kill their process, even if they already have a shell prompt. Of course, a user can get in the same predicament with the current 3% reserve--they just have to launch processes until 3% becomes negligible. * root-cant-log-in problem The second patch, adding the tunable rootuser_reserve_pages, allows the admin to shoot themselves in the foot by setting it too small. They can easily get the system into a state where root-can't-log-in. However, the new admin_reserve_kbytes will be safer than the current behavior since the hardcoded 3% of available memory reserve can shrink to something useless in the case where applications have grabbed all available memory. Alternatives * Memory cgroups provide a more flexible way to limit application memory. Not everyone wants to set up cgroups or deal with their overhead. * We could create a fourth overcommit mode which provides smaller reserves. The size of useful reserves may be drastically different depending on the whether the system is embedded or enterprise. * Force users to initialize all of their memory or use calloc. Some users don't want/expect the system to overcommit when they malloc. Overcommit 'never' mode is for this scenario, and it should work well. The new user and admin reserve tunables are simple to use, with low overhead compared to cgroups. The patches preserve current behavior where 3% of memory is less than 128MB, except that the admin reserve doesn't shrink to an unusable size under pressure. The code allows admins to tune for embedded and enterprise usage. FAQ * How is the root-cant-login problem addressed? What happens if admin_reserve_pages is set to 0? Root is free to shoot themselves in the foot by setting admin_reserve_kbytes too low. On x86_64, the minimum useful reserve is: 8MB for overcommit 'guess' 128MB for overcommit 'never' admin_reserve_pages defaults to min(3% free memory, 8MB) So, anyone switching to 'never' mode needs to adjust admin_reserve_pages. * How do you calculate a minimum useful reserve? A user or the admin needs enough memory to login and perform recovery operations, which includes, at a minimum: sshd or login + bash (or some other shell) + top (or ps, kill, etc.) For overcommit 'guess', we can sum resident set sizes (RSS) because we only need enough memory to handle what the recovery programs will typically use. On x86_64 this is about 8MB. For overcommit 'never', we can take the max of their virtual sizes (VSZ) and add the sum of their RSS. We use VSZ instead of RSS because mode forces us to ensure we can fulfill all of the requested memory allocations-- even if the programs only use a fraction of what they ask for. On x86_64 this is about 128MB. When swap is enabled, reserves are useful even when they are as small as 10MB, regardless of overcommit mode. When both swap and overcommit are disabled, then the admin should tune the reserves higher to be absolutley safe. Over 230MB each was safest in my testing. * What happens if user_reserve_pages is set to 0? Note, this only affects overcomitt 'never' mode. Then a user will be able to allocate all available memory minus admin_reserve_kbytes. However, they will easily see a message such as: "bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory" And they won't be able to recover/kill their application. The admin should be able to recover the system if admin_reserve_kbytes is set appropriately. * What's the difference between overcommit 'guess' and 'never'? "Guess" allows an allocation if there are enough free + reclaimable pages. It has a hardcoded 3% of free pages reserved for root. "Never" allows an allocation if there is enough swap + a configurable percentage (default is 50) of physical RAM. It has a hardcoded 3% of free pages reserved for root, like "Guess" mode. It also has a hardcoded 3% of the current process size reserved for additional applications. * Why is overcommit 'guess' not suitable even when an app eventually writes to every page? It takes free pages, file pages, available swap pages, reclaimable slab pages into consideration. In other words, these are all pages available, then why isn't overcommit suitable? Because it only looks at the present state of the system. It does not take into account the memory that other applications have malloced, but haven't initialized yet. It overcommits the system. Test Summary There was little change in behavior in the default overcommit 'guess' mode with swap enabled before and after the patch. This was expected. Systems run most predictably (i.e. no oom kills) in overcommit 'never' mode with swap enabled. This also allowed the most memory to be allocated to a user application. Overcommit 'guess' mode without swap is a bad idea. It is easy to crash the system. None of the other tested combinations crashed. This matches my experience on the Roadrunner supercomputer. Without the tunable user reserve, a system in overcommit 'never' mode and without swap does not allow the admin to recover, although the admin can. With the new tunable reserves, a system in overcommit 'never' mode and without swap can be configured to: 1. maximize user-allocatable memory, running close to the edge of recoverability 2. maximize recoverability, sacrificing allocatable memory to ensure that a user cannot take down a system Test Description Fedora 18 VM - 4 x86_64 cores, 5725MB RAM, 4GB Swap System is booted into multiuser console mode, with unnecessary services turned off.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n, we don't want the memory-hotplug notifier handlers to be included in the .o files, for space reasons. The existing hotplug_memory_notifier() tries to handle this but testing with gcc-4.4.4 shows that it doesn't work - the hotplug functions are still present in the .o files. So implement a new register_hotmemory_notifier() which is a copy of register_hotcpu_notifier(), and which actually works as desired. hotplug_memory_notifier() and register_memory_notifier() callsites should be converted to use this new register_hotmemory_notifier(). While we're there, let's repair the existing hotplug_memory_notifier(): it simply stomps on the register_memory_notifier() return value, so well-behaved code cannot check for errors.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The sparse code, when asking the architecture to populate the vmemmap, specifies the section range as a starting page and a number of pages. This is an awkward interface, because none of the arch-specific code actually thinks of the range in terms of 'struct page' units and always translates it to bytes first. In addition, later patches mix huge page and regular page backing for the vmemmap. For this, they need to call vmemmap_populate_basepages() on sub-section ranges with PAGE_SIZE and PMD_SIZE in mind. But these are not necessarily multiples of the 'struct page' size and so this unit is too coarse. Just translate the section range into bytes once in the generic sparse code, then pass byte ranges down the stack.

That means some code may not pass compilation on some architectures. So any help to test this patchset are welcomed! There are several other parts still under development: Part2: introduce free_highmem_page() to simplify freeing highmem pages Part3: refine code to manage totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and zone->managed_pages Part4: introduce helper functions to simplify mem_init() and remove the global variable num_physpages. This patch: Code to deal with reserved/managed pages are duplicated by many architectures, so introduce common help functions to reduce duplicated code. These common help functions will also be used to concentrate code to modify totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages, which makes the code much more clear.

* vm: adjust ifdef for TINY_RCUPaul E. McKenney2013-04-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is an ifdef in page_cache_get_speculative() that checks for !SMP and TREE_RCU, which has been an impossible combination since the advent of TINY_RCU. The ifdef enables a fastpath that is valid when preemption is disabled by rcu_read_lock() in UP systems, which is the case when TINY_RCU is enabled. This commit therefore adjusts the ifdef to generate the fastpath when TINY_RCU is enabled. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

* mm, show_mem: suppress page counts in non-blockable contextsDavid Rientjes2013-04-301-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On large systems with a lot of memory, walking all RAM to determine page types may take a half second or even more. In non-blockable contexts, the page allocator will emit a page allocation failure warning unless __GFP_NOWARN is specified. In such contexts, irqs are typically disabled and such a lengthy delay may even result in NMI watchdog timeouts. To fix this, suppress the page walk in such contexts when printing the page allocation failure warning.

* mm: trace filemap add and delRobert Jarzmik2013-04-301-0/+58
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use the events API to trace filemap loading and unloading of file pieces into the page cache. This patch aims at tracing the eviction reload cycle of executable and shared libraries pages in a memory constrained environment. The typical usage is to spot a specific device and inode (for example /lib/libc.so) to see the eviction cycles, and find out if frequently used code is rather spread across many pages (bad) or coallesced (good).

* debug_locks.h: make warning more verboseJames Hogan2013-04-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The WARN_ON(1) in DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON is surprisingly awkward to track down when it's hit, as it's usually buried in macros, causing multiple instances to land on the same line number. This patch makes it more useful by switching to: WARN(1, "DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(%s)", #c); so that the particular DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON is more easily identified and grep'd for. For example: WARNING: at kernel/mutex.c:198 _mutex_lock_nested+0x31c/0x380() DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(l->magic != l) Signed-off-by: James Hogan <james.hogan@imgtec.com> Cc: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Many of us have been really busy lately getting multiple drivers to a better position. Since this pull request is so large, I will divide it in sections so it's easier to grasp what's included. - cleanups: . UDC drivers no longer touch gadget->dev, that's now udc-core responsibility . Many more UDC drivers converted to usb_gadget_map/unmap_request() . UDC drivers no longer initialize DMA-related fields from gadget's device structure . UDC drivers don't touch gadget.dev.driver directly . UDC drivers don't assign gadget.dev.release directly . Removal of some unused DMA_ADDR_INVALID . Introduction of CONFIG_USB_PHY . All phy drivers have been moved to drivers/usb/phy and renamed to a common naming scheme . Fix PHY layer so it never returns a NULL pointer, also fix all callers to avoid using IS_ERR_OR_NULL() . Sparse fixes all over the place . drivers/usb/otg/ has been deleted . Marvel drivers (mv_udc, ehci-mv, mv_otg and mv_u3d) improved clock usage - new features: . UDC core now provides a generic way for tracking and reporting UDC's state (not attached, resuming, suspended, addressed, default, etc) . twl4030-usb learned that it shouldn't be enabled during init . Full DT support for DWC3 has been implemented . ab8500-usb learned about pinctrl framework . nop PHY learned about DeviceTree and regulators . DWC3 learned about suspend/resume . DWC3 can now be compiled in host-only and gadget-only (as well as DRD) configurations . UVC now enables streaming endpoint based on negotiated speed . isp1301 now implements the PHY API properly . configfs-based interface for gadget drivers which will lead to the removal of all code which just combines functions together to build functional gadget drivers. . f_serial and f_obex were converted to new configfs interface while maintaining old interface around. - non-critical fixes: . UVC gadget driver got fixes for Endpoint usage and stream calculation . ab8500-usb fixed unbalanced clock and regulator API usage . twl4030-usb got a fix for when OMAP3 is booted with cable connected . fusb300_udc got a fix for DMA usage . UVC got fixes for two assertions of the USB Video Class Compliance specification revision 1.1 . build warning issues caused by recent addition of __must_check to regulator API These are all changes which deserve a mention, all other changes are related to these one or minor spelling fixes and other similar tasks.
