2010-10-26kernel.h: add {min,max}3 macrosHagen Paul Pfeifer
Introduce two additional min/max macros to compare three operands. This will save some cycles as well as some bytes on the stack and last but not least more pleasing as macro nesting.

With glibc 2.11 or later that was built with --enable-multi-arch, the UML link fails with undefined references to __rel_iplt_start and similar symbols. In recent binutils, the default linker script defines these symbols (see ld --verbose). Fix the UML linker scripts to match the new defaults for these sections.

2010-10-26uml: define CONFIG_NO_DMAFUJITA Tomonori
I think that it's better to detect DMA misuse at build time rather than calling BUG_ON. Architectures that can't do DMA need to define CONFIG_NO_DMA. Thanks to Sam Ravnborg for explaining how CONFIG_NO_DMA and CONFIG_HAS_DMA work: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=128359913825550&w=2 HAS_DMA is defined like this: config HAS_DMA boolean depends on !NO_DMA default y So to set HAS_DMA to true an arch should do: 1) Do not define NO_DMA 2) Define NO_DMA abd set it to 'n' Must archs - including um - used principle 1). In the um case we want to say that we do NOT have any DMA. This can be done in two ways. a) define NO_DMA and set it to 'y' b) redefine HAS_DMA and set it to 'n'. The patch you provided used principle b) where other archs use principle a). So I suggest you should use principle a) for um too.

2010-10-26alpha: use single HAE window on T2 core logic (gamma, sable)Ivan Kokshaysky
T2 are the only alpha SMP systems that do HAE switching at runtime, which is fundamentally racy on SMP. This patch limits MMIO space on T2 to HAE0 only, like we did on MCPCIA (rawhide) long ago. This leaves us with only 112 Mb of PCI MMIO (128 Mb HAE aperture minus 16 Mb reserved for EISA), but since linux PCI allocations are reasonably tight, it should be enough for sane hardware configurations. Also, fix a typo in MCPCIA_FROB_MMIO macro which shouldn't call set_hae() if MCPCIA_ONE_HAE_WINDOW is defined. It's more for correctness, as set_hae() is a no-op anyway in that case.

If another interrupt arrives before the timer has been correctly programmed (due to some other device on the same interrupt line, or CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ), this results in an extra unwanted interrupt event because the status bit is likely to be set from comparator matches that happened before the device was opened. Therefore, we have to ensure that the interrupt status bit is and stays cleared until we actually program the timer.

2010-10-26hpet: unmap unused I/O spaceJiri Slaby
When the initialization code in hpet finds a memory resource and does not find an IRQ, it does not unmap the memory resource previously mapped. There are buggy BIOSes which report resources exactly like this and what is worse the memory region bases point to normal RAM. This normally would not matter since the space is not touched. But when PAT is turned on, ioremap causes the page to be uncached and sets this bit in page->flags. Then when the page is about to be used by the allocator, it is reported as: BUG: Bad page state in process md5sum pfn:3ed00 page:ffffea0000dbd800 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping:(null) index:0x0 page flags: 0x20000001000000(uncached) Pid: 7956, comm: md5sum Not tainted 2.6.34-12-desktop #1 Call Trace: [<ffffffff810df851>] bad_page+0xb1/0x100 [<ffffffff810dfa45>] prep_new_page+0x1a5/0x1c0 [<ffffffff810dfe01>] get_page_from_freelist+0x3a1/0x640 [<ffffffff810e01af>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x10f/0x6b0 ... In this particular case: 1) HPET returns 3ed00000 as memory region base, but it is not in reserved ranges reported by the BIOS (excerpt): BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 00000000af6cf000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 00000000af6cf000 - 00000000afdcf000 (reserved) 2) there is no IRQ resource reported by HPET method. On the other hand, the Intel HPET specs (1.0a) says (3.2.5.1): _CRS ( // Report 1K of memory consumed by this Timer Block memory range consumed // Optional: only used if BIOS allocates Interrupts [1] IRQs consumed ) [1] For case where Timer Block is configured to consume IRQ0/IRQ8 AND Legacy 8254/Legacy RTC hardware still exists, the device objects associated with 8254 & RTC devices should not report IRQ0/IRQ8 as "consumed resources". So in theory we should check whether if it is the case and use those interrupts instead. Anyway the address reported by the BIOS here is bogus, so non-presence of IRQ doesn't mean the "optional" part in point 2). Since I got no reply previously, fix this by simply unmapping the space when IRQ is not found and memory region was mapped previously. It would be probably more safe to walk the resources again and unmap appropriately depending on type. But as we now use only ioremap for both 2 memory resource types, it is not necessarily needed right now.

2010-10-26mm: fix is_mem_section_removable() page_order BUG_ON checkKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
page_order() is called by memory hotplug's user interface to check the section is removable or not. (is_mem_section_removable()) It calls page_order() withoug holding zone->lock. So, even if the caller does if (PageBuddy(page)) ret = page_order(page) ... The caller may hit BUG_ON(). For fixing this, there are 2 choices. 1. add zone->lock. 2. remove BUG_ON(). is_mem_section_removable() is used for some "advice" and doesn't need to be 100% accurate. This is_removable() can be called via user program.. We don't want to take this important lock for long by user's request. So, this patch removes BUG_ON().

2010-10-26mm: retry page fault when blocking on disk transferMichel Lespinasse
This change reduces mmap_sem hold times that are caused by waiting for disk transfers when accessing file mapped VMAs. It introduces the VM_FAULT_ALLOW_RETRY flag, which indicates that the call site wants mmap_sem to be released if blocking on a pending disk transfer. In that case, filemap_fault() returns the VM_FAULT_RETRY status bit and do_page_fault() will then re-acquire mmap_sem and retry the page fault. It is expected that the retry will hit the same page which will now be cached, and thus it will complete with a low mmap_sem hold time. Tests: - microbenchmark: thread A mmaps a large file and does random read accesses to the mmaped area - achieves about 55 iterations/s.

2010-10-26mm: remove alignment padding from anon_vma on (some) 64 bit buildsRichard Kennedy
Reorder structure anon_vma to remove alignment padding on 64 builds when (CONFIG_KSM || CONFIG_MIGRATION). This will shrink the size of the anon_vma structure from 40 to 32 bytes & allow more objects per slab in its kmem_cache. Under slub the objects in the anon_vma kmem_cache will then be 40 bytes with 102 objects per slab. (On v2.6.36 without this patch,the size is 48 bytes and 85 objects/slab.)

Buggy drivers (e.g. fsl_udc) could call dma_pool_alloc from atomic context with GFP_KERNEL. In most instances, the first pool_alloc_page call would succeed and the sleeping functions would never be called. This allowed the buggy drivers to slip through the cracks.

2010-10-26mm: stack based kmap_atomic()Peter Zijlstra
Keep the current interface but ignore the KM_type and use a stack based approach. The advantage is that we get rid of crappy code like: #define __KM_PTE \ (in_nmi() ? KM_NMI_PTE : \ in_irq() ? KM_IRQ_PTE : \ KM_PTE0) and in general can stop worrying about what context we're in and what kmap slots might be appropriate for that. The downside is that FRV kmap_atomic() gets more expensive. For now we use a CPP trick suggested by Andrew: #define kmap_atomic(page, args...) __kmap_atomic(page) to avoid having to touch all kmap_atomic() users in a single patch.

2010-10-26vmscan,tmpfs: treat used once pages on tmpfs as used onceKOSAKI Motohiro
When a page has PG_referenced, shrink_page_list() discards it only if it is not dirty. This rule works fine if the backing filesystem is a regular one. PG_dirty is a good signal that the page was used recently because the flusher threads clean pages periodically. In addition, page writeback is costlier than simple page discard. However, when a page is on tmpfs this heuristic doesn't work because flusher threads don't write back tmpfs pages. Consequently tmpfs pages always rotate around the lru twice at least and adds unnecessary lru churn. Simple tmpfs streaming io shouldn't cause large anonymous page swap-out. Remove this unncessary reclaim bonus of tmpfs pages.

2010-10-26writeback: remove the internal 5% low bound on dirty_ratioWu Fengguang
The dirty_ratio was silently limited in global_dirty_limits() to >= 5%. This is not a user expected behavior. And it's inconsistent with calc_period_shift(), which uses the plain vm_dirty_ratio value. Let's remove the internal bound. At the same time, fix balance_dirty_pages() to work with the dirty_thresh=0 case. This allows applications to proceed when dirty+writeback pages are all cleaned. And ">" fits with the name "exceeded" better than ">=" does.

2010-10-26writeback: do not sleep on the congestion queue if there are no congested ↵Mel Gorman
BDIs or if significant congestion is not being encountered in the current zone If congestion_wait() is called with no BDI congested, the caller will sleep for the full timeout and this may be an unnecessary sleep. This patch adds a wait_iff_congested() that checks congestion and only sleeps if a BDI is congested else, it calls cond_resched() to ensure the caller is not hogging the CPU longer than its quota but otherwise will not sleep. This is aimed at reducing some of the major desktop stalls reported during IO. For example, while kswapd is operating, it calls congestion_wait() but it could just have been reclaiming clean page cache pages with no congestion. Without this patch, it would sleep for a full timeout but after this patch, it'll just call schedule() if it has been on the CPU too long. Similar logic applies to direct reclaimers that are not making enough progress.
