The WM8350 LED driver needs to be able to enable and disable the regulators it is using. Previously the core wasn't properly enforcing status change constraints so the driver was able to function but this has always been intended to be required.

2010-01-29mm: fix migratetype bug which slowed swappingHugh Dickins
After memory pressure has forced it to dip into the reserves, 2.6.32's 5f8dcc21211a3d4e3a7a5ca366b469fb88117f61 "page-allocator: split per-cpu list into one-list-per-migrate-type" has been returning MIGRATE_RESERVE pages to the MIGRATE_MOVABLE free_list: in some sense depleting reserves. Fix that in the most straightforward way (which, considering the overheads of alternative approaches, is Mel's preference): the right migratetype is already in page_private(page), but free_pcppages_bulk() wasn't using it. How did this bug show up? As a 20% slowdown in my tmpfs loop kbuild swapping tests, on PowerMac G5 with SLUB allocator. Bisecting to that commit was easy, but explaining the magnitude of the slowdown not easy. The same effect appears, but much less markedly, with SLAB, and even less markedly on other machines (the PowerMac divides into fewer zones than x86, I think that may be a factor). We guess that lumpy reclaim of short-lived high-order pages is implicated in some way, and probably this bug has been tickling a poor decision somewhere in page reclaim. But instrumentation hasn't told me much, I've run out of time and imagination to determine exactly what's going on, and shouldn't hold up the fix any longer: it's valid, and might even fix other misbehaviours.

Now that the previous commit made it possible to do the personality setting at the point of no return, we do just that for ELF binaries.

2010-01-29Split 'flush_old_exec' into two functionsLinus Torvalds
'flush_old_exec()' is the point of no return when doing an execve(), and it is pretty badly misnamed. It doesn't just flush the old executable environment, it also starts up the new one. Which is very inconvenient for things like setting up the new personality, because we want the new personality to affect the starting of the new environment, but at the same time we do _not_ want the new personality to take effect if flushing the old one fails. As a result, the x86-64 '32-bit' personality is actually done using this insane "I'm going to change the ABI, but I haven't done it yet" bit (TIF_ABI_PENDING), with SET_PERSONALITY() not actually setting the personality, but just the "pending" bit, so that "flush_thread()" can do the actual personality magic. This patch in no way changes any of that insanity, but it does split the 'flush_old_exec()' function up into a preparatory part that can fail (still called flush_old_exec()), and a new part that will actually set up the new exec environment (setup_new_exec()). All callers are changed to trivially comply with the new world order. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2010-01-28Btrfs: check total number of devices when removing missingJosef Bacik
If you have a disk failure in RAID1 and then add a new disk to the array, and then try to remove the missing volume, it will fail. The reason is the sanity check only looks at the total number of rw devices, which is just 2 because we have 2 good disks and 1 bad one. Instead check the total number of devices in the array to make sure we can actually remove the device. Tested this with a failed disk setup and with this test we can now run btrfs-vol -r missing /mount/point and it works fine.

2010-01-28Btrfs: check return value of open_bdev_exclusive properlyJosef Bacik
Hit this problem while testing RAID1 failure stuff. open_bdev_exclusive returns ERR_PTR(), not NULL. So change the return value properly. This is important if you accidently specify a device that doesn't exist when trying to add a new device to an array, you will panic the box dereferencing bdev.

2010-01-28Btrfs: do not mark the chunk as readonly if in degraded modeJosef Bacik
If a RAID setup has chunks that span multiple disks, and one of those disks has failed, btrfs_chunk_readonly will return 1 since one of the disks in that chunk's stripes is dead and therefore not writeable. So instead if we are in degraded mode, return 0 so we can go ahead and allocate stuff. Without this patch all of the block groups in a RAID1 setup will end up read-only, which will mean we can't add new disks to the array since we won't be able to make allocations.

Instead of my original fix, Yan Zheng pointed out that we can just revert my original fix and then run the orphan cleanup in open_ctree after we look up the fs_root.

2010-01-28Btrfs: Add mount -o compress-forceChris Mason
The default btrfs mount -o compress mode will quickly back off compressing a file if it notices that compression does not reduce the size of the data being written. This can save considerable CPU because all future writes to the file go through uncompressed. But some files are both very large and have mixed data stored in them. In that case, we want to add the ability to always try compressing data before writing it. This commit adds mount -o compress-force. A later commit will add a new inode flag that does the same thing.

2010-01-28MIPS: PowerTV: Fix support for timer interrupts with > 64 external IRQsDavid VomLehn
The MIPS processor is limited to 64 external interrupt sources. Using a greater number without IRQ sharing requires reading platform-specific registers. On such platforms, reading the IntCtl register to determine which interrupt corresponds to a timer interrupt will not work. On MIPSR2 systems there is a solution - the TI bit in the Cause register, specifically indicates that a timer interrupt has occured. This patch uses that bit to detect interrupts for MIPSR2 processors, which may be expected to work regardless of how the timer interrupt may be routed in the hardware.

2010-01-28MIPS: Fix vmlinuz build for 32bit-only math shellsAlexander Clouter
POSIX requires $((<expression>)) arithmetic in sh only to have long arithmetic so on 32-bit sh binaries might do only 32-bit arithmetic but the arithmetic done in arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile needs 64-bit. I play with the AR7 platform, so VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS is 0xffffffff94100000, and for an example 4MiB kernel VMLINUZ_LOAD_ADDRESS is made out to be: ---- alex@berk:~$ bash -c 'printf "%x\n" $((0xffffffff94100000 + 0x400000))' ffffffff94500000 alex@berk:~$ dash -c 'printf "%x\n" $((0xffffffff94100000 + 0x400000))' 80000000003fffff ---- The former is obviously correct whilst the later breaks things royally. Fortunately working with only the lower 32bit's works for both bash and dash: ---- $ bash -c 'printf "%x\n" $((0x94100000 + 0x400000))' 94500000 $ dash -c 'printf "%x\n" $((0x94100000 + 0x400000))' 94500000 ---- So, we can split the original 64bit string to two parts, and only calculate the low 32bit part, which is big enough (1GiB kernel sizes anyone?) for a normal Linux kernel image file, now, we calculate the VMLINUZ_LOAD_ADDRESS like this: 1. if present, append top 32bit of VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS" as a prefix 2. get the sum of the low 32bit of VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS + VMLINUX_SIZE This patch fixes vmlinuz kernel builds on systems where only a 32bit-only math shell is available.

Having missed the ENOMEM return via i915_gem_fault(), there are probably other paths that I also missed. By not enabling NORETRY by default these paths can run the shrinker and take memory from the system (but not from our own inactive lists because our shrinker can not run whilst we hold the struct mutex) and this may allow the system to survive a little longer whilst our drivers consume all available memory.

2010-01-27firewire: ohci: fix crashes with TSB43AB23 on 64bit systemsStefan Richter
Unsurprisingly, Texas Instruments TSB43AB23 exhibits the same behaviour as TSB43AB22/A in dual buffer IR DMA mode: If descriptors are located at physical addresses above the 31 bit address range (2 GB), the controller will overwrite random memory. With luck, this merely prevents video reception. With only a little less luck, the machine crashes. We use the same workaround here as with TSB43AB22/A: Switch off the dual buffer capability flag and use packet-per-buffer IR DMA instead. Another possible workaround would be to limit the coherent DMA mask to 31 bits. In Linux 2.6.33, this change serves effectively only as documentation since dual buffer mode is not used for any controller anymore. But somebody might want to re-enable it in the future to make use of features of dual buffer DMA that are not available in packet-per-buffer mode. In Linux 2.6.32 and older, this update is vital for anyone with this controller, more than 2 GB RAM, a 64 bit kernel, and FireWire video or audio applications.

2010-01-27mm: add new 'read_cache_page_gfp()' helper functionLinus Torvalds
It's a simplified 'read_cache_page()' which takes a page allocation flag, so that different paths can control how aggressive the memory allocations are that populate a address space. In particular, the intel GPU object mapping code wants to be able to do a certain amount of own internal memory management by automatically shrinking the address space when memory starts getting tight. This allows it to dynamically use different memory allocation policies on a per-allocation basis, rather than depend on the (static) address space gfp policy. The actual new function is a one-liner, but re-organizing the helper functions to the point where you can do this with a single line of code is what most of the patch is all about.
