2009-04-02memcg: fix OOM killer under memcgKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
This patch tries to fix OOM Killer problems caused by hierarchy. Now, memcg itself has OOM KILL function (in oom_kill.c) and tries to kill a task in memcg. But, when hierarchy is used, it's broken and correct task cannot be killed. For example, in following cgroup /groupA/ hierarchy=1, limit=1G, 01 nolimit 02 nolimit All tasks' memory usage under /groupA, /groupA/01, groupA/02 is limited to groupA's 1Gbytes but OOM Killer just kills tasks in groupA. This patch provides makes the bad process be selected from all tasks under hierarchy. BTW, currently, oom_jiffies is updated against groupA in above case. oom_jiffies of tree should be updated. To see how oom_jiffies is used, please check mem_cgroup_oom_called() callers.

2009-04-02cgroup: fix frequent -EBUSY at rmdirKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
In following situation, with memory subsystem, /groupA use_hierarchy==1 /01 some tasks /02 some tasks /03 some tasks /04 empty When tasks under 01/02/03 hit limit on /groupA, hierarchical reclaim is triggered and the kernel walks tree under groupA. In this case, rmdir /groupA/04 fails with -EBUSY frequently because of temporal refcnt from the kernel. In general. cgroup can be rmdir'd if there are no children groups and no tasks. Frequent fails of rmdir() is not useful to users. (And the reason for -EBUSY is unknown to users.....in most cases) This patch tries to modify above behavior, by - retries if css_refcnt is got by someone. - add "return value" to pre_destroy() and allows subsystem to say "we're really busy!"

2009-04-01fbdev: remove cyblafb driverKrzysztof Helt
A tridentfb driver has all the functionality of the cyblafb driver without the bugs of the latter. Changes to the tridentfb driver: - FBINFO_READS_FAST added to the tridentfb. The cyblafb used a blitter for scrolling which is faster than color expansion on Cyberblade chipsets. The blitter is slower on a discrete Blade3D core. Use the blitter for scrolling in the tridentfb only for integrated Blade3D cores. Now, scrolling speed is about equal for the tridentfb and the cyblafb. - a copyright notice addition is done on request of Jani Monoses (the first author of the tridentfb). Tested on AGP Blade3D card and PCChips M787CLR motherboard: VIA C3 cpu + VT8601 north bridge (aka Cyberblade/i1).

2009-04-01hwmon: Add LTC4215 driverIra Snyder
Add Linux support for the Linear Technology LTC4215 Hot Swap controller I2C monitoring interface. I have tested the driver with my board, and it appears to work fine. With the power supplies disabled, it reads 11.93V input, 1.93V output, no current and no power. With the supplies enabled, it reads 11.93V input, 11.98V output, no current, no power. I'm not drawing any current at the moment, so this is reasonable. The value in the sense register never reads anything except 0, so I expect to get zero from the current and power calculations. I didn't attempt to support changing any of the chip's settings or enabling the FET. I'm not sure even how to do that and still fit within the hwmon framework. :) Signed-off-by: Ira W.

2009-04-01filesystem freeze: allow SysRq emergency thaw to thaw frozen filesystemsEric Sandeen
Now that the filesystem freeze operation has been elevated to the VFS, and is just an ioctl away, some sort of safety net for unintentionally frozen root filesystems may be in order. The timeout thaw originally proposed did not get merged, but perhaps something like this would be useful in emergencies. For example, freeze /path/to/mountpoint may freeze your root filesystem if you forgot that you had that unmounted. I chose 'j' as the last remaining character other than 'h' which is sort of reserved for help (because help is generated on any unknown character). I've tested this on a non-root fs with multiple (nested) freezers, as well as on a system rendered unresponsive due to a frozen root fs.

2009-04-01mm: page_mkwrite change prototype to match faultNick Piggin
Change the page_mkwrite prototype to take a struct vm_fault, and return VM_FAULT_xxx flags. There should be no functional change. This makes it possible to return much more detailed error information to the VM (and also can provide more information eg. virtual_address to the driver, which might be important in some special cases). This is required for a subsequent fix. And will also make it easier to merge page_mkwrite() with fault() in future.

2009-03-31proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::ownerAlexey Dobriyan
Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL ->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting in module refcount underflow. We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops and ->data. But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment) and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give some thoughts. ->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for protection. rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm. And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular. We definitely don't want such modular code. Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller. So, let's nuke it.

Directory drivers/i2c/chips is going away, so drivers there must find new homes. For the pcf8591 driver, the best choice seems to be the hwmon subsystem.

Add support for ProVideo PV-183 to bttv This patch adds support for the ProVideo PV-183 card to the bttv device driver. The PV-183 is a PCI card with 8 BT878 devices plus a Hint Corp HiNT HB4 PCI-PCI Bridge. Each BT878 has two composite input channels available. There are no tuners on this card.

2009-03-30V4L/DVB (10988): v4l2-dev: use parent field if the v4l2_device has no parent ↵Hans Verkuil
set. Normally the parent device of v4l2_device is used as the video device node's parent. But if it was not set, then use the parent field in the video_device struct. This is needed in the cx88 driver, which has one core v4l2_device but creates multiple pci devices (one each for raw and mpeg video). So you cannot associate the core v4l2_device with a particular PCI device, but you can do that for each video_device.

The lock_norm module parameter doesn't look terribly useful. If you don't want to change the norm, just don't change it. As a matter of fact, no other v4l driver has such a parameter.
