2005-10-29[PATCH] memory hotplug locking: node_size_lockDave Hansen
pgdat->node_size_lock is basically only neeeded in one place in the normal code: show_mem(), which is the arch-specific sysrq-m printing function. Strictly speaking, the architectures not doing memory hotplug do no need this locking in show_mem(). However, they are all included for completeness. This should also make any future consolidation of all of the implementations a little more straightforward. This lock is also held in the sparsemem code during a memory removal, as sections are invalidated. This is the place there pfn_valid() is made false for a memory area that's being removed. The lock is only required when doing pfn_valid() operations on memory which the user does not already have a reference on the page, such as in show_mem().

2005-10-29[PATCH] mm: flush_tlb_range outside ptlockHugh Dickins
There was one small but very significant change in the previous patch: mprotect's flush_tlb_range fell outside the page_table_lock: as it is in 2.4, but that doesn't prove it safe in 2.6. On some architectures flush_tlb_range comes to the same as flush_tlb_mm, which has always been called from outside page_table_lock in dup_mmap, and is so proved safe. Others required a deeper audit: I could find no reliance on page_table_lock in any; but in ia64 and parisc found some code which looks a bit as if it might want preemption disabled. That won't do any actual harm, so pending a decision from the maintainers, disable preemption there. Remove comments on page_table_lock from flush_tlb_mm, flush_tlb_range and flush_tlb_page entries in cachetlb.txt: they were rather misleading (what generic code does is different from what usually happens), the rules are now changing, and it's not yet clear where we'll end up (will the generic tlb_flush_mmu happen always under lock? never under lock? or sometimes under and sometimes not?).

2005-10-29[PATCH] mm: init_mm without ptlockHugh Dickins
First step in pushing down the page_table_lock. init_mm.page_table_lock has been used throughout the architectures (usually for ioremap): not to serialize kernel address space allocation (that's usually vmlist_lock), but because pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel expect caller holds it. Reverse that: don't lock or unlock init_mm.page_table_lock in any of the architectures; instead rely on pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel to take and drop it when allocating a new one, to check lest a racing task already did. Similarly no page_table_lock in vmalloc's map_vm_area. Some temporary ugliness in __pud_alloc and __pmd_alloc: since they also handle user mms, which are converted only by a later patch, for now they have to lock differently according to whether or not it's init_mm. If sources get muddled, there's a danger that an arch source taking init_mm.page_table_lock will be mixed with common source also taking it (or neither take it). So break the rules and make another change, which should break the build for such a mismatch: remove the redundant mm arg from pte_alloc_kernel (ppc64 scrapped its distinct ioremap_mm in 2.6.13). Exceptions: arm26 used pte_alloc_kernel on user mm, now pte_alloc_map; ia64 used pte_alloc_map on init_mm, now pte_alloc_kernel; parisc had bad args to pmd_alloc and pte_alloc_kernel in unused USE_HPPA_IOREMAP code; ppc64 map_io_page forgot to unlock on failure; ppc mmu_mapin_ram and ppc64 im_free took page_table_lock for no good reason.

2005-10-29[PATCH] mm: ia64 use expand_upwardsHugh Dickins
ia64 has expand_backing_store function for growing its Register Backing Store vma upwards. But more complete code for this purpose is found in the CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP part of mm/mmap.c. Uglify its #ifdefs further to provide expand_upwards for ia64 as well as expand_stack for parisc. The Register Backing Store vma should be marked VM_ACCOUNT. Implement the intention of growing it only a page at a time, instead of passing an address outside of the vma to handle_mm_fault, with unknown consequences.

2005-10-27[IA64] ptrace - find memory sharers on children listCliff Wickman
In arch/ia64/kernel/ptrace.c there is a test for a peek or poke of a register image (in register backing storage). The test can be unnecessarily long (and occurs while holding the tasklist_lock). Especially long on a large system with thousands of active tasks. The ptrace caller (presumably a debugger) specifies the pid of its target and an address to peek or poke. But the debugger could be attached to several tasks. The idea of find_thread_for_addr() is to find whether the target address is in the RBS for any of those tasks. Currently it searches the thread-list of the target pid. If that search does not find a match, and the shared mm-struct's user count indicates that there are other tasks sharing this address space (a rare occurrence), a search is made of all the tasks in the system. Another approach can drastically shorten this procedure. It depends upon the fact that in order to peek or poke from/to any task, the debugger must first attach to that task. And when it does, the attached task is made a child of the debugger (is chained to its children list). Therefore we can search just the debugger's children list.

2005-10-27[IA64] - Avoid slow TLB purges on SGI Altix systemsDean Roe
flush_tlb_all() can be a scaling issue on large SGI Altix systems since it uses the global call_lock and always executes on all cpus. When a process enters flush_tlb_range() to purge TLBs for another process, it is possible to avoid flush_tlb_all() and instead allow sn2_global_tlb_purge() to purge TLBs only where necessary. This patch modifies flush_tlb_range() so that this case can be handled by platform TLB purge functions and updates ia64_global_tlb_purge() accordingly. sn2_global_tlb_purge() now calculates the region register value from the mm argument introduced with this patch.

2005-10-19[PATCH] swiotlb: make sure initial DMA allocations really are in DMA memoryYasunori Goto
This introduces a limit parameter to the core bootmem allocator; The new parameter indicates that physical memory allocated by the bootmem allocator should be within the requested limit. We also introduce alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit, alloc_bootmem_node_limit, alloc_bootmem_low_pages_node_limit apis, but alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit is the only api used for swiotlb. The existing alloc_bootmem_low_pages() api could instead have been changed and made to pass right limit to the core allocator. But that would make the patch more intrusive for 2.6.14, as other arches use alloc_bootmem_low_pages(). We may be done that post 2.6.14 as a cleanup. With this, swiotlb gets memory within 4G for both x86_64 and ia64 arches.

2005-10-06[IA64] Avoid kernel hang during CMC interrupt stormBryan Sutula
I've noticed a kernel hang during a storm of CMC interrupts, which was tracked down to the continual execution of the interrupt handler. There's code in the CMC handler that's supposed to disable CMC interrupts and switch to polling mode when it sees a bunch of CMCs. Because disabling CMCs across all CPUs isn't safe in interrupt context, the disable is done with a schedule_work(). But with continual CMC interrupts, the schedule_work() never gets executed. The following patch immediately disables CMC interrupts for the current CPU. This then allows (at least) one CPU to ignore CMC interrupts, execute the schedule_work() code, and disable CMC interrupts on the rest of the CPUs.

If the resource is marked as a "producer", the range is also passed on to child devices.
