2005-06-21[PATCH] md: make sure md bitmap is cleared on a clean start.NeilBrown
As the array-wide clean bit (in the superblock) is set more agressively than the bits in the bitmap are cleared, it is possible to have an array which is clean despite there being bits set in the bitmap. These bits will currently never get cleared, as they can only be cleared by a resync pass, which never happens. No, when reading bits from disk, be aware of whether the whole array is known to be in sync, and act accordingly.

2005-06-21[PATCH] md: optimised resync using Bitmap based intent loggingNeilBrown
With this patch, the intent to write to some block in the array can be logged to a bitmap file. Each bit represents some number of sectors and is set before any update happens, and only cleared when all writes relating to all sectors are complete. After an unclean shutdown, information in this bitmap can be used to optimise resync - only sectors which could be out-of-sync need to be updated. Also if a drive is removed and then added back into an array, the recovery can make use of the bitmap to optimise reconstruction. This is not implemented in this patch. Currently the bitmap is stored in a file which must (obviously) be stored on a separate device. The patch only provided infrastructure. It does not update any personalities to bitmap intent logging. Md arrays can still be used with no bitmap file. This patch has minimal impact on such arrays.

2005-06-21[PATCH] md: improve the interface to sync_requestNeilBrown
1/ change the return value (which is number-of-sectors synced) from 'int' to 'sector_t'. The number of sectors is usually easily small enough to fit in an int, but if resync needs to abort, it may want to return the total number of remaining sectors, which could be large. Also errors cannot be returned as negative numbers now, so use 0 instead 2/ Add a 'skipped' return parameter to allow the array to report that it skipped the sectors. This allows md to take this into account in the speed calculations. Currently there is no important skipping, but the bitmap-based-resync that is coming will use this.

2005-06-21[PATCH] md: improve locking on 'safemode' and move superblock writesNeilBrown
When md marks the superblock dirty before a write, it calls generic_make_request (to write the superblock) from within generic_make_request (to write the first dirty block), which could cause problems later. With this patch, the superblock write is always done by the helper thread, and write request are delayed until that write completes. Also, the locking around marking the array dirty and writing the superblock is improved to avoid possible races.

2005-06-21[PATCH] md: merge md_enter_safemode into md_check_recoveryNeilBrown
md_enter_safemode checks if it is time to mark the md superblock as 'clean'. i.e. if all writes have completed and a suitable delay has passed. This is currently called from md_handle_safemode which in-turn is called (almost) every time md_check_recovery is called, and from the end of md_do_sync which causes the mddev->thread to run, which will always call md_check_recovery as well. So it doesn't need to be a separate function and fits quite well into md_check_recovery. The "almost" is because multipathd calls md_check_recovery but not md_handle_safemode. This is OK because the code from md_enter_safemode is a no-op if mddev->safemode == 0, which it always is for a multipathd (providing we don't allow it to be set to 2 on a signal...)

2005-06-21[PATCH] VGA to fbcon fix.James Simmons
Currently when going from vgacon to fbcon the VT screenbuffer are often different sizes. In the case when they are different sizes a new VT screenbuffer is allocated and the contents are copied into the new buffer. Currently the amount copied from VGA text memory to the new screenbuf is the size of the framebuffer console. If the framebuffer console new VT screen buffer is greater than the VGA text memory size then we get some of the VGA BIOS contents as well. This patch will only allow you to copy up to the size of VGA text memory now. The rest is filled with erase characters.

2005-06-21[PATCH] s1d13xxxfb linkage fixAndrew Morton
s1d13xxxfb_remove() is referenced from s1d13xxxfb_probe(), which is marked __devinit(). So s1d13xxxfb_remove() cannot be marked __devexit. Does this all make sense? Clearly the __devexit section will still be in core when the __devinit code is run, if the driver was loaded as a module. But I suppose that if the driver is statically linked, the __devexit section might be dropped early in boot. Still, we wouldn't drop __devexit prior to initcall completion, at which point the __devinit code has all been run anyway. verdict: this code was legal and made sense. Is this a generic problem, or an arm-specific problem?

This patch rewrites the handling of remote control events.

2005-06-21[PATCH] ioc4: Core driver rewriteBrent Casavant
This series of patches reworks the configuration and internal structure of the SGI IOC4 I/O controller device drivers. These changes are motivated by several factors: - The IOC4 chip PCI resources are of mixed use between functions (i.e. multiple functions are handled in the same address range, sometimes within the same register), muddling resource ownership and initialization issues. Centralizing this ownership in a core driver is desirable. - The IOC4 chip implements multiple functions (serial, IDE, others not yet implemented in the mainline kernel) but is not a multifunction PCI device. In order to properly handle device addition and removal as well as module insertion and deletion, an intermediary IOC4-specific driver layer is needed to handle these operations cleanly. - All IOC4 drivers are currently enabled by a single CONFIG value. As not all systems need all IOC4 functions, it is desireable to enable these drivers independently. - The current IOC4 core driver will trigger loading of all function-level drivers, as it makes direct calls to them. This situation should be reversed (i.e. function-level drivers cause loading of core driver) in order to maintain a clear and least-surprise driver loading model. - IOC4 hardware design necessitates some driver-level dependency on the PCI bus clock speed. Current code assumes a 66MHz bus, but the speed should be autodetected and appropriate compensation taken. This patch series effects the above changes by a newly and better designed IOC4 core driver with which the function-level drivers can register and deregister themselves upon module insertion/removal. By tracking these modules, device addition/removal is also handled properly. PCI resource management and ownership issues are centralized in this core driver, and IOC4-wide configuration actions such as bus speed detection are also handled in this core driver. This patch: The SGI IOC4 I/O controller chip implements multiple functions, though it is not a multi-function PCI device. Additionally, various PCI resources of the IOC4 are shared by multiple hardware functions, and thus resource ownership by driver is not clearly delineated. Due to the current driver design, all core and subordinate drivers must be loaded, or none, which is undesirable if not all IOC4 hardware features are being used. This patch reorganizes the IOC4 drivers so that the core driver provides a subdriver registration service. Through appropriate callbacks the subdrivers can now handle device addition and removal, as well as module insertion and deletion (though the IOC4 IDE driver requires further work before module deletion will work). The core driver now takes care of allocating PCI resources and data which must be shared between subdrivers, to clearly delineate module ownership of these items.

2005-06-21[PATCH] node local per-cpu-pagesChristoph Lameter
This patch modifies the way pagesets in struct zone are managed. Each zone has a per-cpu array of pagesets. So any particular CPU has some memory in each zone structure which belongs to itself. Even if that CPU is not local to that zone. So the patch relocates the pagesets for each cpu to the node that is nearest to the cpu instead of allocating the pagesets in the (possibly remote) target zone. This means that the operations to manage pages on remote zone can be done with information available locally. We play a macro trick so that non-NUMA pmachines avoid the additional pointer chase on the page allocator fastpath.

2005-06-21[PATCH] smp_processor_id() cleanupIngo Molnar
This patch implements a number of smp_processor_id() cleanup ideas that Arjan van de Ven and I came up with. The previous __smp_processor_id/_smp_processor_id/smp_processor_id API spaghetti was hard to follow both on the implementational and on the usage side. Some of the complexity arose from picking wrong names, some of the complexity comes from the fact that not all architectures defined __smp_processor_id. In the new code, there are two externally visible symbols: - smp_processor_id(): debug variant. - raw_smp_processor_id(): nondebug variant. Replaces all existing uses of _smp_processor_id() and __smp_processor_id(). Defined by every SMP architecture in include/asm-*/smp.h. There is one new internal symbol, dependent on DEBUG_PREEMPT: - debug_smp_processor_id(): internal debug variant, mapped to smp_processor_id(). Also, i moved debug_smp_processor_id() from lib/kernel_lock.c into a new lib/smp_processor_id.c file. All related comments got updated and/or clarified. I have build/boot tested the following 8 .config combinations on x86: {SMP,UP} x {PREEMPT,!PREEMPT} x {DEBUG_PREEMPT,!DEBUG_PREEMPT} I have also build/boot tested x64 on UP/PREEMPT/DEBUG_PREEMPT. (Other architectures are untested, but should work just fine.)

2005-06-20[PATCH] I2C: drivers/i2c/chips/adm1026.c: use dynamic sysfs callbacksYani Ioannou
Finally (phew!) this patch demonstrates how to adapt the adm1026 to take advantage of the new callbacks, and the i2c-sysfs.h defined structure/macros. Most of the other sensor/hwmon drivers could be updated in the same way. The odd few exceptions (bmcsensors for example) however might be better off with their own custom attribute structure.
