2005-11-29Revert "[PATCH] drivers/message/fusion/mptbase.c: make code static"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit 252ac865535e1ea9cc2d28be83f477d8d8b961a2. It impacts the LSI customers using the mptstm target mode drivers (source tar-ball at ftp://ftp.lsil.com/HostAdapterDrivers/linux/Fusion-MPT/mptstm-1.00.13-src.tar.gz for those who care). Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-11-29[PATCH] pfnmap: do_no_page BUG_ON againHugh Dickins
Use copy_user_highpage directly instead of cow_user_page in do_no_page: in the immediately following page_cache_release, and elsewhere, it is assuming that new_page is normal. If any VM_PFNMAP driver can get to do_no_page, it's just a BUG (but not in the case of do_anonymous_page).

2005-11-29Support strange discontiguous PFN remappingsLinus Torvalds
These get created by some drivers that don't generally even want a pfn remapping at all, but would really mostly prefer to just map pages they've allocated individually instead. For now, create a helper function that turns such an incomplete PFN remapping call into a loop that does that explicit mapping. In the long run we almost certainly want to export a totally different interface for that, though. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-11-29[PATCH] Fix missing pfn variables caused by vm changesBen Collins

2005-11-29[MTD] CFI: Use 16-bit access to autoselect/read device id dataTodd Poynor
Recent models of Intel/Sharp and Spansion CFI flash now have significant bits in the upper byte of device ID codes, read via what Spansion calls "autoselect" and Intel calls "read device identifier". Currently these values are truncated to the low 8 bits in the mtd data structures, as all CFI read query info has previously been read one byte at a time. Add a new method for reading 16-bit info, currently just manufacturer and device codes; datasheets hint at future uses for upper bytes in other fields.

2005-11-29[IA64] Remove getting break_num by decoding instructionKeshavamurthy Anil S
break.b always sets cr.iim to 0 and the current code tries to get the break_num by decoding instruction. However, their seems to be a race condition while reading the regs->cr_iip, as on other cpu the break.b at regs->cr_iip might have been replaced with the original instruction as a result of unregister_kprobe() and hence decoding instruction to obtain break_num will result in wrong value in this case.

A single SGI Altix system can be divided into multiple partitions, each running their own instance of the Linux kernel. pfn_valid() is currently not optimal for any but the first partition, since it does not compare the pfn with min_low_pfn before calling the more costly ia64_pfn_valid().

2005-11-29[JFFS2] Fix the slab cache constructor of 'struct jffs2_inode_info' objects.Thomas Gleixner
JFFS2 initialize f->sem mutex as "locked" in the slab constructor which is a bug. Objects are freed with unlocked f->sem mutex. So, when they allocated again, f->sem is unlocked because the slab cache constructor is not called for them. The constructor is called only once when memory pages are allocated for objects (namely, when the slab layer allocates new slabs). So, sometimes 'struct jffs2_inode_info' are allocated with unlocked f->sem, sometimes with locked. This is a bug. Instead, initialize f->sem as unlocked in the constructor. I.e., in the "constructed" state f->sem must be unlocked. From: Keijiro Yano <keijiro_yano@yahoo.co.jp> Acked-by: Artem B.

2005-11-28[PATCH] shrinker->nr = LONG_MAX means deadlock for icacheAndrea Arcangeli
With Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> The slab scanning code tries to balance the scanning rate of slabs versus the scanning rate of LRU pages. To do this, it retains state concerning how many slabs have been scanned - if a particular slab shrinker didn't scan enough objects, we remember that for next time, and scan more objects on the next pass. The problem with this is that with (say) a huge number of GFP_NOIO direct-reclaim attempts, the number of objects which are to be scanned when we finally get a GFP_KERNEL request can be huge. Because some shrinker handlers just bail out if !__GFP_FS. So the patch clamps the number of objects-to-be-scanned to 2* the total number of objects in the slab cache.

2005-11-28[PATCH] md: fix --re-add for raid1 and raid6NeilBrown
If you have an array with a write-intent-bitmap, and you remove a device, then re-add it, a full recovery isn't needed. We detect a re-add by looking at saved_raid_disk. For raid1, it doesn't matter which disk it was, only whether or not it was an active device. The old code being removed set a value of 'mirror' which was then ignored, so it can go. The changed code performs the correct check. For raid6, if there are two missing devices, make sure we chose the right slot on --re-add rather than always the first slot.

2005-11-28[PATCH] md: improve read speed to raid10 arrays using 'far copies'NeilBrown
raid10 has two different layouts. One uses near-copies (so multiple copies of a block are at the same or similar offsets of different devices) and the other uses far-copies (so multiple copies of a block are stored a greatly different offsets on different devices). The point of far-copies is that it allows the first section (normally first half) to be layed out in normal raid0 style, and thus provide raid0 sequential read performance. Unfortunately, the read balancing in raid10 makes some poor decisions for far-copies arrays and you don't get the desired performance. So turn off that bad bit of read_balance for far-copies arrays. With this patch, read speed of an 'f2' array is comparable with a raid0 with the same number of devices, though write speed is ofcourse still very slow.

2005-11-28[PATCH] temporarily disable swap token on memory pressureRik van Riel
Some users (hi Zwane) have seen a problem when running a workload that eats nearly all of physical memory - th system does an OOM kill, even when there is still a lot of swap free. The problem appears to be a very big task that is holding the swap token, and the VM has a very hard time finding any other page in the system that is swappable. Instead of ignoring the swap token when sc->priority reaches 0, we could simply take the swap token away from the memory hog and make sure we don't give it back to the memory hog for a few seconds. This patch resolves the problem Zwane ran into. Signed-off-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-11-28[PATCH] mm: __alloc_pages cleanup fixNick Piggin
I believe this patch is required to fix breakage in the asynch reclaim watermark logic introduced by this patch: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=7fb1d9fca5c6e3b06773b69165a73f3fb786b8ee Just some background of the watermark logic in case it isn't clear... Basically what we have is this: --- pages_high | | (a) | --- pages_low | | (b) | --- pages_min | | (c) | --- 0 Now when pages_low is reached, we want to kick asynch reclaim, which gives us an interval of "b" before we must start synch reclaim, and gives kswapd an interval of "a" before it need go back to sleep. When pages_min is reached, normal allocators must enter synch reclaim, but PF_MEMALLOC, ALLOC_HARDER, and ALLOC_HIGH (ie. atomic allocations, recursive allocations, etc.) get access to varying amounts of the reserve "c".

2005-11-28[PATCH] ext3: Wrong return value for EXT3_IOC_GROUP_ADDGlauber de Oliveira Costa
This patch corrects the return value for the EXT3_IOC_GROUP_ADD in case it fails due to the presence of multiple resizers at the filesystem. The problem is a little bit more serious than a wrong return value in this case, since the clause err=0 in the exit_journal path will lead to a call to update_backups which in turns causes a NULL pointer dereference.
