* | [PATCH] mm: compound release fixNick Piggin2006-02-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Compound pages on SMP systems can now often be freed from pagetables via the release_pages path. This uses put_page_testzero which does not handle compound pages at all. Releasing constituent pages from process mappings decrements their count to a large negative number and leaks the reference at the head page - net result is a memory leak. The problem was hidden because the debug check in put_page_testzero itself actually did take compound pages into consideration. Fix the bug and the debug check.

* | [PATCH] __cmpxchg() must really always be inlined on alphaSteve Langasek2006-02-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the latest 2.6.15 kernel builds for alpha on Debian, we ran into a problem with undefined references to __cmpxchg_called_with_bad_pointer() in a couple of kernel modules (xfs.ko and drm.ko; see http://bugs.debian.org/347556). It looks like people have been trying to out-clever each other wrt the definition of "inline" on this architecture :), with the result that __cmpxchg(), which must be inlined so the compiler can see its argument is const, is not guaranteed to be inlined. Indeed, it was not being inlined when building with -Os. The attached patch fixes the issue by adding an __attribute__((always_inline)) explicitly to the definition of __cmpxchg() instead of relying on redefines of "inline" elsewhere to make this happen.

* | [PATCH] x86_64: Fix the node cpumask of a cpu going downRavikiran G Thirumalai2006-02-081-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, x86_64 and ia64 arches do not clear the corresponding bits in the node's cpumask when a cpu goes down or cpu bring up is cancelled. This is buggy since there are pieces of common code where the cpumask is checked in the cpu down code path to decide on things (like in the slab down path). PPC does the right thing, but x86_64 and ia64 don't (This was the reason Sonny hit upon a slab bug during cpu offline on ppc and could not reproduce on other arches). This patch fixes it for x86_64. I won't attempt ia64 as I cannot test it. Credit for spotting this should go to Alok. (akpm: this was applied, then reverted. But it's OK now because we now use for_each_cpu() in the right places).

The patch below results in a 4-5x performance improvement (from 6.5MB/s to ~24-30MB/s on my IDE test box) when writing out files using O_SYNC. So optimise the batching code by omitting it entirely if the process which is doing a sync write is the same as the one which did the most recent sync write. If that's true, we're unlikely to get any other processes joining the transaction. (Has been in -mm for ages - it took me a long time to get on to performance testing it) Numbers, on write-cache-disabled IDE: /usr/bin/time -p synctest -n 10 -uf -t 1 -p 1 dir-name Unpatched: 40 seconds Patched: 35 seconds Batching disabled: 35 seconds This is the problematic single-process-doing-fsync case. With multiple fsyncing processes the numbers are AFACIT unaltered by the patch. Aside: performance testing and instrumentation shows that the transaction batching almost doesn't help (testing with synctest -n 1 -uf -t 100 -p 10 dir-name on non-writeback-caching IDE). This is because by the time one process is running a synchronous commit, a bunch of other processes already have a transaction handle open, so they're all going to batch into the same transaction anyway. The batching seems to offer maybe 5-10% speedup with this workload, but I'm pretty sure it was more important than that when it was first developed 4-odd years ago... Cc: "Stephen C.

This causes it to overflow packet length values of 128KB or more. I changed the field to 32 bits to fix this. The pktcdvd driver defaulted to its maximum allowed packet length when it detected a 0 in the track info field. I changed this to fail the operation and refuse to access the media. This seems more sane than attempting to access it with a value that almost certainly will not work.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On some broken motherboards (at least one NForce3 based AMD64 laptop) the PIT timer runs at a incorrect frequency. This patch adds a new option "apicpmtimer" that allows to use the APIC timer and calibrate it using the PMTimer. It requires the earlier patch that allows to run the main timer from the APIC. Specifying apicpmtimer implies apicmaintimer. The option defaults to off for now. I tested it on a few systems and the resulting APIC timer frequencies were usually a bit off, but always <1%, which should be tolerable. TBD figure out heuristic to enable this automatically on the affected systems TBD perhaps do it on all NForce3s or using DMI?

* | | [PATCH] x86_64: Fix the node cpumask of a cpu going downRavikiran G Thirumalai2006-02-051-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, x86_64 and ia64 arches do not clear the corresponding bits in the node's cpumask when a cpu goes down or cpu bring up is cancelled. This is buggy since there are pieces of common code where the cpumask is checked in the cpu down code path to decide on things (like in the slab down path). PPC does the right thing, but x86_64 and ia64 don't (This was the reason Sonny hit upon a slab bug during cpu offline on ppc and could not reproduce on other arches). This patch fixes it for x86_64. I won't attempt ia64 as I cannot test it. Credit for spotting this should go to Alok.

* | | [PATCH] x86_64: Undo the earlier changes to remove unrolled copy/memset ↵Andi Kleen2006-02-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | functions They cause quite bad performance regressions on Netburst This is temporary until we can get new optimized functions for these CPUs. This undoes changes that were done in 2.6.15 and in 2.6.16-rc1, essentially bringing the code back to 2.6.14 level. Only change is I renamed the X86_FEATURE_K8_C flag to X86_FEATURE_REP_GOOD and fixed the check for the flag and also fixed some comments.
