2006-02-01[PATCH] zone_reclaim: configurable off node allocation period.Christoph Lameter
Currently the zone_reclaim code has a fixed window of 30 seconds of off node allocations should a local zone have no unused pagecache pages left. Reclaim will be attempted again after this timeout period to avoid repeated useless scans for memory. This is also useful to established sufficiently large off node allocation chunks to relieve the local node. It may be beneficial to adjust that time period for some special situations. For example if memory use was exceeding node capacity one may want to give up for longer periods of time. If memory spikes intermittendly then one may want to shorten the time period to reduce the number of off node allocations. This patch allows just that....

2006-02-01[PATCH] zone_reclaim: partial scans instead of full scanChristoph Lameter
Instead of scanning all the pages in a zone, imitate real swap and scan only a portion of the pages and gradually scan more if we do not free up enough pages. This avoids a zone suddenly loosing all unused pagecache pages (we may after all access some of these again so they deserve another chance) but it still frees up large chunks of memory if a zone only contains unused pagecache pages.

2006-02-01[PATCH] mm: hugepage accounting fixHugh Dickins
2.6.15's hugepage faulting introduced huge_pages_needed accounting into hugetlbfs: to count how many pages are already in cache, for spot check on how far a new mapping may be allowed to extend the file. But it's muddled: each hugepage found covers HPAGE_SIZE, not PAGE_SIZE. Once pages were already in cache, it would overshoot, wrap its hugepages count backwards, and so fail a harmless repeat mapping with -ENOMEM. Fixes the problem found by Don Dupuis.

2006-02-01[PATCH] Use 32 bit division in slab_put_obj()Benjamin LaHaise
Improve the performance of slab_put_obj(). Without the cast, gcc considers ptrdiff_t a 64 bit signed integer and ends up emitting code to use a full signed 128 bit divide on EM64T, which is substantially slower than a 32 bit unsigned divide. I noticed this when looking at the profile of a case where the slab balance is just on edge and thrashes back and forth freeing a block.

Ensure that the performance of off node pages stays the same as before. Off node pagefault tests showed an 18% drop in performance without this patch. - Increase the timeout to 30 seconds to reduce the overhead. - Move all code possible out of the off node hot path for zone reclaim (Sorry Andrew, the struct initialization had to be sacrificed).

2006-02-01[PATCH] disable lost tick compensation before TSCs are syncedjohn stultz
Avoid lost tick compensation early in boot before the TSCs are synchronized. Currently timekeeping is enabled before the TSCs are synchronized, thus when the TSCs are synched (reset to zero), it appears that a number of lost ticks have occurred. This can cause premature expiry of timers and in extreme cases can cause the soft lockup detection to fire. This resolves issues reported by Andy Whitcroft as well as bug #5366 reported by Tim Mann.

Change sched_getaffinity() so that it returns a bitmap that indicates the legally schedulable cpus that a task is allowed to run on. Without this patch, if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is enabled, sched_getaffinity() unconditionally returns (at least on IA64) a mask with NR_CPUS bits set. This conveys no useful infornmation except for a kernel compile option. This fixes a breakage we obseved running recent kernels. We have MPI jobs that use sched_getaffinity() to determine where to place their threads.

2006-02-01[PATCH] Introduce __iowrite32_copyBryan O'Sullivan
This arch-independent routine copies data to a memory-mapped I/O region, using 32-bit accesses. The naming is double-underscored to make it clear that it does not guarantee write ordering, nor does it perform a memory barrier afterwards; the kernel doc also explicitly states this. This style of access is required by some devices. This change also introduces include/linux/io.h, at Andrew's suggestion. It only has one occupant at the moment, but is a logical destination for oft-replicated contents of include/asm-*/{io,iomap}.h to migrate to.

From: Steven Rostedtrostedt@goodmis.org <rostedt@goodmis.org> CPU0 expires a posix-timer and runs the callback function. The signal is queued. After releasing the posix-timer lock and before returning to hrtimer_run_queue CPU0 gets interrupted. CPU1 delivers the queued signal and rearms the timer. CPU0 comes back to hrtimer_run_queue and sets the timer state to expired. The next modification of the timer can result in an oops, because the state information is wrong. Keep track of state = RUNNING and check if the state has been in the return path of hrtimer_run_queue. In case the state has been changed, ignore a restart request and do not touch the state variable.

2006-02-01[PATCH] device-mapper log bitset: fix endianPatrick Caulfield
Clean up the code responsible for the on-disk mirror logs by using the set_le_bit test_le_bit functions of ext2. That makes the BE machines keep the bitmap internally in LE order - it does mean you can't use any other type of operations on the bitmap words but that looks to be OK in this instance. The efficiency tradeoff is very minimal as you would expect for something that ext2 uses. This allows us to remove bits_to_core(), bits_to_disk() and log->disk_bits. Also increment the mirror log disk version transparently to avoid sharing with older kernels that suffered from the 64-bit BE bug.

2006-02-01[PATCH] device-mapper snapshot: load metadata on creationAlasdair G Kergon
Move snapshot metadata loading to happen when the table is created instead of when the device is resumed. Writes to the origin device don't trigger exceptions until each snapshot table becomes active when resume() is called on each snapshot. If you're using lvm2, for this patch to work properly you should update to lvm2 version 2.02.01 or later and device-mapper version 1.02.02 or later.
