2006-02-03[PATCH] Export cpu topology in sysfsZhang, Yanmin
The patch implements cpu topology exportation by sysfs. Items (attributes) are similar to /proc/cpuinfo. 1) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/physical_package_id: represent the physical package id of cpu X; 2) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_id: represent the cpu core id to cpu X; 3) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/thread_siblings: represent the thread siblings to cpu X in the same core; 4) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_siblings: represent the thread siblings to cpu X in the same physical package; To implement it in an architecture-neutral way, a new source file, driver/base/topology.c, is to export the 5 attributes. If one architecture wants to support this feature, it just needs to implement 4 defines, typically in file include/asm-XXX/topology.h. The 4 defines are: #define topology_physical_package_id(cpu) #define topology_core_id(cpu) #define topology_thread_siblings(cpu) #define topology_core_siblings(cpu) The type of **_id is int. The type of siblings is cpumask_t. To be consistent on all architectures, the 4 attributes should have deafult values if their values are unavailable. Below is the rule. 1) physical_package_id: If cpu has no physical package id, -1 is the default value. 2) core_id: If cpu doesn't support multi-core, its core id is 0. 3) thread_siblings: Just include itself, if the cpu doesn't support HT/multi-thread. 4) core_siblings: Just include itself, if the cpu doesn't support multi-core and HT/Multi-thread. So be careful when declaring the 4 defines in include/asm-XXX/topology.h. If an attribute isn't defined on an architecture, it won't be exported. Thank Nathan, Greg, Andi, Paul and Venki. The patch provides defines for i386/x86_64/ia64.

2006-02-03[PATCH] ufs: fix hang during `rm'Evgeniy Dushistov
This fixes the code like this: bh = sb_find_get_block (sb, tmp + j); if ((bh && DATA_BUFFER_USED(bh)) || tmp != fs32_to_cpu(sb, *p)) { retry = 1; brelse (bh); goto next1; } bforget (bh); sb_find_get_block() ordinarily returns a buffer_head with b_count>=2, and this code assume that in case if "b_count>1" buffer is used, so this caused infinite loop. (akpm: that is-the-buffer-busy code is incomprehensible. Good riddance. Use of block_truncate_page() seems sane).

2006-02-03[PATCH] ufs: fix oops with `ufs1' typeEvgeniy Dushistov
"rm" command, on file system with "ufs1" type cause system hang up. This is, in fact, not so bad as it seems to be, because of after that in "kernel control path" there are 3-4 places which may cause "oops". So the first patch fix oopses, and the second patch fix "kernel hang up". "oops" appears because of reading of group's summary info partly wrong, and access to not first group's summary info cause "oops".

2006-02-01SUNRPC: Fix a lock recursion in the auth_gss downcallTrond Myklebust
When we look up a new cred in the auth_gss downcall so that we can stuff the credcache, we do not want that lookup to queue up an upcall in order to initialise it. To do an upcall here not only redundant, but since we are already holding the inode->i_mutex, it will trigger a lock recursion.

2006-02-01[PATCH] VMSPLIT config optionsMark Lord
Enable selection of different user/kernel VM splits for i386, including an optimized mode for 1GB physical RAM, which gives the kernel a direct (non HIGHMEM) mapping to the entire 1GB rather than just the first 896MB. There is a similarly a similarly optimized mode for machines with exactly 2GB of physical RAM. This can speed up the kernel by avoiding having to create/destroy temporary HIGHMEM mappings, and by not having to include HIGHMEM support at all on such machines. The flip side is that there's less virtual addressing left for userspace in these alternatives, and some binary-only kernel modules may misbehave unless rebuilt with the same VMSPLIT option as the main kernel image.

2006-02-01[PATCH] Direct Migration V9: Avoid writeback / page_migrate() methodChristoph Lameter
Migrate a page with buffers without requiring writeback This introduces a new address space operation migratepage() that may be used by a filesystem to implement its own version of page migration. A version is provided that migrates buffers attached to pages. Some filesystems (ext2, ext3, xfs) are modified to utilize this feature. The swapper address space operation are modified so that a regular migrate_page() will occur for anonymous pages without writeback (migrate_pages forces every anonymous page to have a swap entry).

2006-02-01[PATCH] Direct Migration V9: migrate_pages() extensionChristoph Lameter
Add direct migration support with fall back to swap. Direct migration support on top of the swap based page migration facility. This allows the direct migration of anonymous pages and the migration of file backed pages by dropping the associated buffers (requires writeout). Fall back to swap out if necessary. The patch is based on lots of patches from the hotplug project but the code was restructured, documented and simplified as much as possible. Note that an additional patch that defines the migrate_page() method for filesystems is necessary in order to avoid writeback for anonymous and file backed pages.

2006-02-01[PATCH] zone_reclaim: configurable off node allocation period.Christoph Lameter
Currently the zone_reclaim code has a fixed window of 30 seconds of off node allocations should a local zone have no unused pagecache pages left. Reclaim will be attempted again after this timeout period to avoid repeated useless scans for memory. This is also useful to established sufficiently large off node allocation chunks to relieve the local node. It may be beneficial to adjust that time period for some special situations. For example if memory use was exceeding node capacity one may want to give up for longer periods of time. If memory spikes intermittendly then one may want to shorten the time period to reduce the number of off node allocations. This patch allows just that....
