2006-02-01[PATCH] slab: fix kzalloc and kstrdup caller report for CONFIG_DEBUG_SLABPekka Enberg
Fix kzalloc() and kstrdup() caller report for CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB. We must pass the caller to __cache_alloc() instead of directly doing __builtin_return_address(0) there; otherwise kzalloc() and kstrdup() are reported as the allocation site instead of the real one. Thanks to Valdis Kletnieks for reporting the problem and Steven Rostedt for the original idea.

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: remove_from_swap() to remove swap ptesChristoph Lameter

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....

2006-02-01[PATCH] Introduce __iowrite32_copyBryan O'Sullivan
This arch-independent routine copies data to a memory-mapped I/O region, using 32-bit accesses. The naming is double-underscored to make it clear that it does not guarantee write ordering, nor does it perform a memory barrier afterwards; the kernel doc also explicitly states this. This style of access is required by some devices. This change also introduces include/linux/io.h, at Andrew's suggestion. It only has one occupant at the moment, but is a logical destination for oft-replicated contents of include/asm-*/{io,iomap}.h to migrate to.

2006-02-01[PATCH] hrtimers: fix posix-timer requeue raceakpm@osdl.org
From: Steven Rostedtrostedt@goodmis.org <rostedt@goodmis.org> CPU0 expires a posix-timer and runs the callback function. The signal is queued. After releasing the posix-timer lock and before returning to hrtimer_run_queue CPU0 gets interrupted. CPU1 delivers the queued signal and rearms the timer. CPU0 comes back to hrtimer_run_queue and sets the timer state to expired. The next modification of the timer can result in an oops, because the state information is wrong. Keep track of state = RUNNING and check if the state has been in the return path of hrtimer_run_queue. In case the state has been changed, ignore a restart request and do not touch the state variable.

2006-02-01[PATCH] fuse: fix async read for legacy filesystemsMiklos Szeredi
While asynchronous reads mean a performance improvement in most cases, if the filesystem assumed that reads are synchronous, then async reads may degrade performance (filesystem may receive reads out of order, which can confuse it's own readahead logic). With sshfs a 1.5 to 4 times slowdown can be measured. There's also a need for userspace filesystems to know whether asynchronous reads are supported by the kernel or not. To achive these, negotiate in the INIT request whether async reads will be used and the maximum readahead value. Update interface version to 7.6 If userspace uses a version earlier than 7.6, then disable async reads, and set maximum readahead value to the maximum read size, as done in previous versions.

When the scsi_execute_async interface was added it ended up reducing the flexibility of userspace to send arbitrary scsi commands through sg using SG_IO. The SG_IO interface allows userspace to specify the CDB length. This is now ignored in scsi_execute_async and it is guessed using the COMMAND_SIZE macro, which is not always correct, particularly for vendor specific commands.
