* fbdev: detect primary display deviceAntonino A. Daplas2007-07-1724-1/+141
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Add function helper, fb_is_primary_device(). Given struct fb_info, it will return a nonzero value if the device is the primary display. Currently, only the i386 is supported where the function checks for the IORESOURCE_ROM_SHADOW flag.

* knfsd: nfsd: set rq_client to ip-address-determined-domainJ. Bruce Fields2007-07-172-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We want it to be possible for users to restrict exports both by IP address and by pseudoflavor. The pseudoflavor information has previously been passed using special auth_domains stored in the rq_client field. After the preceding patch that stored the pseudoflavor in rq_pflavor, that's now superfluous; so now we use rq_client for the ip information, as auth_null and auth_unix do. However, we keep around the special auth_domain in the rq_gssclient field for backwards compatibility purposes, so we can still do upcalls using the old "gss/pseudoflavor" auth_domain if upcalls using the unix domain to give us an appropriate export. This allows us to continue supporting old mountd. In fact, for this first patch, we always use the "gss/pseudoflavor" auth_domain (and only it) if it is available; thus rq_client is ignored in the auth_gss case, and this patch on its own makes no change in behavior; that will be left to later patches. Note on idmap: I'm almost tempted to just replace the auth_domain in the idmap upcall by a dummy value--no version of idmapd has ever used it, and it's unlikely anyone really wants to perform idmapping differently depending on the where the client is (they may want to perform *credential* mapping differently, but that's a different matter--the idmapper just handles id's used in getattr and setattr). But I'm updating the idmapd code anyway, just out of general backwards-compatibility paranoia. Signed-off-by: "J.

* knfsd: nfsd4: don't delegate files that have had conflictsMeelap Shah2007-07-171-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | One more incremental delegation policy improvement: don't give out a delegation on a file if conflicting access has previously required that a delegation be revoked on that file. (In practice we'll forget about the conflict when the struct nfs4_file is removed on close, so this is of limited use for now, though it should at least solve a temporary problem with self-conflicts on write opens from the same client.)

* knfsd: nfsd4: vary maximum delegation limit based on RAM sizeMeelap Shah2007-07-171-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Our original NFSv4 delegation policy was to give out a read delegation on any open when it was possible to. Since the lifetime of a delegation isn't limited to that of an open, a client may quite reasonably hang on to a delegation as long as it has the inode cached. This becomes an obvious problem the first time a client's inode cache approaches the size of the server's total memory. Our first quick solution was to add a hard-coded limit. This patch makes a mild incremental improvement by varying that limit according to the server's total memory size, allowing at most 4 delegations per megabyte of RAM. My quick back-of-the-envelope calculation finds that in the worst case (where every delegation is for a different inode), a delegation could take about 1.5K, which would make the worst case usage about 6% of memory. The new limit works out to be about the same as the old on a 1-gig server.

* knfsd: lockd: nfsd4: use same grace period for lockd and nfsd4Marc Eshel2007-07-171-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Both lockd and (in the nfsv4 case) nfsd enforce a "grace period" after reboot, during which clients may reclaim locks from the previous server instance, but may not acquire new locks. Currently the lockd and nfsd enforce grace periods of different lengths. This may cause problems when we reboot a server with both v2/v3 and v4 clients. For example, if the lockd grace period is shorter (as is likely the case), then a v3 client might acquire a new lock that conflicts with a lock already held (but not yet reclaimed) by a v4 client. This patch calculates a lease time that lockd and nfsd can both use. Signed-off-by: Marc Eshel <eshel@almaden.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: J.

* knfsd: exportfs: remove iget abuseChristoph Hellwig2007-07-171-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the exportfs interface was added the expectation was that filesystems provide an operation to convert from a file handle to an inode/dentry, but it kept a backwards compat option that still calls into iget. Calling into iget from non-filesystem code is very bad, because it gives too little information to filesystem, and simply crashes if the filesystem doesn't implement the ->read_inode routine. Fortunately there are only two filesystems left using this fallback: efs and jfs. This patch moves a copy of export_iget to each of those to implement the get_dentry method. While this is a temporary increase of lines of code in the kernel it allows for a much cleaner interface and important code restructuring in later patches.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a driver for the SB1250 DUART, a dual serial port implementation included in the Broadcom family of SOCs descending from the SiByte SB1250 MIPS64 chip multiprocessor. It is a new implementation replacing the old-fashioned driver currently present in the linux-mips.org tree. It supports all the usual features one would expect from a(n asynchronous) serial driver, including modem line control (as far as hardware supports it -- there is edge detection logic missing from the DCD and RI lines and the driver does not implement polling of these lines at the moment), the serial console, BREAK transmission and reception, including the magic SysRq. The receive FIFO threshold is not maintained though. The driver was tested with a SWARM board which uses a BCM1250 SOC (which is dual MIPS64 CMP) and has both ports of the single DUART implemented wired externally. Both were tested. Testing included using the ports as terminal lines at 1200bps (which is the ports minimum), 115200bps and a couple of random speeds inbetween. The modem lines were verified to operate correctly.

* Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by defaultRafael J. Wysocki2007-07-171-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't care for the freezing of tasks at all. It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is done in this patch. The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable() function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional) change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to describe the freezing of tasks more accurately. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Detect slab objects being passed to the page oriented functions of the VM. It is not sufficient to simply return NULL because the functions calling page_mapping may depend on other items of the page_struct also to be setup properly. Moreover slab object may not be properly aligned. The page oriented functions of the VM expect to operate on page aligned, page sized objects. Operations on object straddling page boundaries may only affect the objects partially which may lead to surprising results. It is better to detect eventually remaining uses and eliminate them.

* Lumpy Reclaim V4Andy Whitcroft2007-07-172-1/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we are out of memory of a suitable size we enter reclaim. The current reclaim algorithm targets pages in LRU order, which is great for fairness at order-0 but highly unsuitable if you desire pages at higher orders. To get pages of higher order we must shoot down a very high proportion of memory; >95% in a lot of cases. This patch set adds a lumpy reclaim algorithm to the allocator. It targets groups of pages at the specified order anchored at the end of the active and inactive lists. This encourages groups of pages at the requested orders to move from active to inactive, and active to free lists. This behaviour is only triggered out of direct reclaim when higher order pages have been requested. This patch set is particularly effective when utilised with an anti-fragmentation scheme which groups pages of similar reclaimability together. This patch set is based on Peter Zijlstra's lumpy reclaim V2 patch which forms the foundation. Credit to Mel Gorman for sanitity checking. Mel said: The patches have an application with hugepage pool resizing. When lumpy-reclaim is used used with ZONE_MOVABLE, the hugepages pool can be resized with greater reliability. Testing on a desktop machine with 2GB of RAM showed that growing the hugepage pool with ZONE_MOVABLE on it's own was very slow as the success rate was quite low. Without lumpy-reclaim, each attempt to grow the pool by 100 pages would yield 1 or 2 hugepages. With lumpy-reclaim, getting 40 to 70 hugepages on each attempt was typical.

* Allow huge page allocations to use GFP_HIGH_MOVABLEMel Gorman2007-07-172-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Huge pages are not movable so are not allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE. However, as ZONE_MOVABLE will always have pages that can be migrated or reclaimed, it can be used to satisfy hugepage allocations even when the system has been running a long time. This allows an administrator to resize the hugepage pool at runtime depending on the size of ZONE_MOVABLE. This patch adds a new sysctl called hugepages_treat_as_movable. When a non-zero value is written to it, future allocations for the huge page pool will use ZONE_MOVABLE. Despite huge pages being non-movable, we do not introduce additional external fragmentation of note as huge pages are always the largest contiguous block we care about.

* Create the ZONE_MOVABLE zoneMel Gorman2007-07-174-4/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following 8 patches against 2.6.20-mm2 create a zone called ZONE_MOVABLE that is only usable by allocations that specify both __GFP_HIGHMEM and __GFP_MOVABLE. This has the effect of keeping all non-movable pages within a single memory partition while allowing movable allocations to be satisfied from either partition. The patches may be applied with the list-based anti-fragmentation patches that groups pages together based on mobility. The size of the zone is determined by a kernelcore= parameter specified at boot-time. This specifies how much memory is usable by non-movable allocations and the remainder is used for ZONE_MOVABLE. Any range of pages within ZONE_MOVABLE can be released by migrating the pages or by reclaiming. When selecting a zone to take pages from for ZONE_MOVABLE, there are two things to consider. First, only memory from the highest populated zone is used for ZONE_MOVABLE. On the x86, this is probably going to be ZONE_HIGHMEM but it would be ZONE_DMA on ppc64 or possibly ZONE_DMA32 on x86_64. Second, the amount of memory usable by the kernel will be spread evenly throughout NUMA nodes where possible. If the nodes are not of equal size, the amount of memory usable by the kernel on some nodes may be greater than others. By default, the zone is not as useful for hugetlb allocations because they are pinned and non-migratable (currently at least). A sysctl is provided that allows huge pages to be allocated from that zone. This means that the huge page pool can be resized to the size of ZONE_MOVABLE during the lifetime of the system assuming that pages are not mlocked. Despite huge pages being non-movable, we do not introduce additional external fragmentation of note as huge pages are always the largest contiguous block we care about. Credit goes to Andy Whitcroft for catching a large variety of problems during review of the patches. This patch creates an additional zone, ZONE_MOVABLE. This zone is only usable by allocations which specify both __GFP_HIGHMEM and __GFP_MOVABLE. Hot-added memory continues to be placed in their existing destination as there is no mechanism to redirect them to a specific zone.
