2006-03-20[PATCH] USB: gadget driver section fixupsDavid Brownell
This adds __init section annotations to gadget driver bind() routines to remove calls from .text into .init sections (for endpoint autoconfig). Likewise it adds __exit section annotations to their unbind() routines. The specification of the gadget driver register/unregister functions is updated to explicitly allow use of those sections.

2006-03-20[PATCH] USB: EHCI for Freescale 83xxRandy Vinson
Adding a Host Mode USB driver for the Freescale 83xx. This driver supports both the Dual-Role (DR) controller and the Multi-Port-Host (MPH) controller present in the Freescale MPC8349. It has been tested with the MPC8349CDS reference system. This driver depends on platform support code for setting up the pins on the device package in a manner appropriate for the board in use. Note that this patch requires selecting the EHCI controller option under the USB Host menu. Signed-off-by: Randy Vinson <rvinson@mvista.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2006-03-20[PATCH] Driver core: add macros notice(), dev_notice()Tilman Schmidt
Both usb.h and device.h have collections of convenience macros for printk() with the KERN_ERR, KERN_WARNING, and KERN_NOTICE severity levels. This patch adds macros for the KERN_NOTICE level which was so far uncatered for.

2006-03-20[PATCH] fix module sysfs files reference countingGreg Kroah-Hartman
The module files, refcnt, version, and srcversion did not properly increment the owner's module reference count, allowing the modules to be removed while the files were open, causing oopses. This patch fixes this, and also fixes the problem that the version and srcversion files were not showing up, unless CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD was enabled, which is not correct.

2006-03-11[PATCH] remove __put_task_struct_cb export againChristoph Hellwig
The patch '[PATCH] RCU signal handling' [1] added an export for __put_task_struct_cb, a put_task_struct helper newly introduced in that patch. But the put_task_struct couldn't be used modular previously as __put_task_struct wasn't exported. There are not callers of it in modular code, and it shouldn't be exported because we don't want drivers to hold references to task_structs. This patch removes the export and folds __put_task_struct into __put_task_struct_cb as there's no other caller.

This patch fixes illegal __GFP_FS allocation inside ext3 transaction in ext3_symlink(). Such allocation may re-enter ext3 code from try_to_free_pages. But JBD/ext3 code keeps a pointer to current journal handle in task_struct and, hence, is not reentrable.

2006-03-09[PATCH] slab: Node rotor for freeing alien caches and remote per cpu pages.Christoph Lameter
The cache reaper currently tries to free all alien caches and all remote per cpu pages in each pass of cache_reap. For a machines with large number of nodes (such as Altix) this may lead to sporadic delays of around ~10ms. Interrupts are disabled while reclaiming creating unacceptable delays. This patch changes that behavior by adding a per cpu reap_node variable. Instead of attempting to free all caches, we free only one alien cache and the per cpu pages from one remote node. That reduces the time spend in cache_reap. However, doing so will lengthen the time it takes to completely drain all remote per cpu pagesets and all alien caches. The time needed will grow with the number of nodes in the system. All caches are drained when they overflow their respective capacity. So the drawback here is only that a bit of memory may be wasted for awhile longer. Details: 1. Rename drain_remote_pages to drain_node_pages to allow the specification of the node to drain of pcp pages. 2. Add additional functions init_reap_node, next_reap_node for NUMA that manage a per cpu reap_node counter. 3. Add a reap_alien function that reaps only from the current reap_node. For us this seems to be a critical issue. Holdoffs of an average of ~7ms cause some HPC benchmarks to slow down significantly. F.e. NAS parallel slows down dramatically. NAS parallel has a 12-16 seconds runtime w/o rotor compared to 5.8 secs with the rotor patches. It gets down to 5.05 secs with the additional interrupt holdoff reductions.

2006-03-08[PATCH] fix file countingDipankar Sarma
I have benchmarked this on an x86_64 NUMA system and see no significant performance difference on kernbench. Tested on both x86_64 and powerpc. The way we do file struct accounting is not very suitable for batched freeing. For scalability reasons, file accounting was constructor/destructor based. This meant that nr_files was decremented only when the object was removed from the slab cache. This is susceptible to slab fragmentation. With RCU based file structure, consequent batched freeing and a test program like Serge's, we just speed this up and end up with a very fragmented slab - llm22:~ # cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr 587730 0 758844 At the same time, I see only a 2000+ objects in filp cache. The following patch I fixes this problem. This patch changes the file counting by removing the filp_count_lock. Instead we use a separate percpu counter, nr_files, for now and all accesses to it are through get_nr_files() api. In the sysctl handler for nr_files, we populate files_stat.nr_files before returning to user. Counting files as an when they are created and destroyed (as opposed to inside slab) allows us to correctly count open files with RCU. Signed-off-by: Dipankar Sarma <dipankar@in.ibm.com> Cc: "Paul E.

2006-03-08[PATCH] rcu batch tuningDipankar Sarma
This patch adds new tunables for RCU queue and finished batches. There are two types of controls - number of completed RCU updates invoked in a batch (blimit) and monitoring for high rate of incoming RCUs on a cpu (qhimark, qlowmark). By default, the per-cpu batch limit is set to a small value. If the input RCU rate exceeds the high watermark, we do two things - force quiescent state on all cpus and set the batch limit of the CPU to INTMAX. Setting batch limit to INTMAX forces all finished RCUs to be processed in one shot. If we have more than INTMAX RCUs queued up, then we have bigger problems anyway. Once the incoming queued RCUs fall below the low watermark, the batch limit is set to the default. Signed-off-by: Dipankar Sarma <dipankar@in.ibm.com> Cc: "Paul E.
