2010-03-12dma-mapping: dma-mapping.h: add dma_set_coherent_maskFUJITA Tomonori
dma_set_coherent_mask corresponds to pci_set_consistent_dma_mask. This is necessary to move to the generic device model DMA API from the PCI bus specific API in the long term. dma_set_coherent_mask works in the exact same way that pci_set_consistent_dma_mask does. So this patch also changes pci_set_consistent_dma_mask to call dma_set_coherent_mask.

We'll move to this new generic API from the PCI specific API in the long term. As include/asm-generic/pci-dma-compat.h does, the pci_unmap API simply calls the new generic API for some time.

2010-03-12DMA-API.txt: remove dma_sync_single_range descriptionFUJITA Tomonori
dma_sync_single_for_cpu/for_device supports a partial sync so there is no point to have dma_sync_single_range (also dma_sync_single was obsoleted long ago, replaced with dma_sync_single_for_cpu/for_device). There is no user of dma_sync_single_range() in mainline and only Alpha architecture supports dma_sync_single_range(). So it's unlikely that someone out of the tree uses it.

2010-03-12DMA-API.txt: add dma_sync_single/sg API descriptionFUJITA Tomonori
This adds the description of the following eight function: dma_sync_single_for_cpu pci_dma_sync_single_for_cpu dma_sync_single_for_device pci_dma_sync_single_for_device dma_sync_sg_for_cpu pci_dma_sync_sg_for_cpu dma_sync_sg_for_device pci_dma_sync_sg_for_device It was unclear that the API permits a partial sync (some network drivers already do though). I made it clear that the sync_single API can do a partial sync but the sync_sg API can't. We could do a partial sync with the sync_sg API too, however, it's difficult for driver writers to correctly use the sync_sg API for a partial sync since the scatterlists passed in to the mapping API can't be modified. It's unlikely that driver writers want to do a partial sync with the sync_sg API (because the sync_sg API are usually used for block drivers). So I think that it's better to forbid a partial sync with the sync_sg API.

2010-03-12ipmi: add parameter to limit CPU usage in kipmidMartin Wilck
In some cases kipmid can use a lot of CPU. This adds a way to tune the CPU used by kipmid to help in those cases. By setting kipmid_max_busy_us to a value between 100 and 500, it is possible to bring down kipmid CPU load to practically 0 without loosing too much ipmi throughput performance. Not setting the value, or setting the value to zero, operation is unaffected.

2010-03-12memcg: handle panic_on_oom=always caseKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Presently, if panic_on_oom=2, the whole system panics even if the oom happend in some special situation (as cpuset, mempolicy....). Then, panic_on_oom=2 means painc_on_oom_always. Now, memcg doesn't check panic_on_oom flag. This patch adds a check. BTW, how it's useful ? kdump+panic_on_oom=2 is the last tool to investigate what happens in oom-ed system. When a task is killed, the sysytem recovers and there will be few hint to know what happnes. In mission critical system, oom should never happen. Then, panic_on_oom=2+kdump is useful to avoid next OOM by knowing precise information via snapshot. TODO: - For memcg, it's for isolate system's memory usage, oom-notiifer and freeze_at_oom (or rest_at_oom) should be implemented. Then, management daemon can do similar jobs (as kdump) or taking snapshot per cgroup.

2010-03-12memcg: implement memory thresholdsKirill A. Shutemov
It allows to register multiple memory and memsw thresholds and gets notifications when it crosses. To register a threshold application need: - create an eventfd; - open memory.usage_in_bytes or memory.memsw.usage_in_bytes; - write string like "<event_fd> <memory.usage_in_bytes> <threshold>" to cgroup.event_control. Application will be notified through eventfd when memory usage crosses threshold in any direction. It's applicable for root and non-root cgroup. It uses stats to track memory usage, simmilar to soft limits. It checks if we need to send event to userspace on every 100 page in/out. I guess it's good compromise between performance and accuracy of thresholds.

Callbacks register_event() and unregister_event() must be defined for the control file; - write "<event_fd> <control_fd> <args>" to cgroup.event_control. Interpretation of args is defined by control file implementation; eventfd will be woken up by control file implementation or when the cgroup is removed. To unregister notification handler just close eventfd. If you need notification functionality for a control file you have to implement callbacks register_event() and unregister_event() in the struct cftype.

2010-03-12memcg: move charges of anonymous swapDaisuke Nishimura
This patch is another core part of this move-charge-at-task-migration feature. It enables moving charges of anonymous swaps. To move the charge of swap, we need to exchange swap_cgroup's record. In current implementation, swap_cgroup's record is protected by: - page lock: if the entry is on swap cache. - swap_lock: if the entry is not on swap cache. This works well in usual swap-in/out activity. But this behavior make the feature of moving swap charge check many conditions to exchange swap_cgroup's record safely. So I changed modification of swap_cgroup's recored(swap_cgroup_record()) to use xchg, and define a new function to cmpxchg swap_cgroup's record. This patch also enables moving charge of non pte_present but not uncharged swap caches, which can be exist on swap-out path, by getting the target pages via find_get_page() as do_mincore() does.

2010-03-12memcg: add interface to move charge at task migrationDaisuke Nishimura
In current memcg, charges associated with a task aren't moved to the new cgroup at task migration. Some users feel this behavior to be strange. These patches are for this feature, that is, for charging to the new cgroup and, of course, uncharging from the old cgroup at task migration. This patch adds "memory.move_charge_at_immigrate" file, which is a flag file to determine whether charges should be moved to the new cgroup at task migration or not and what type of charges should be moved. This patch also adds read and write handlers of the file. This patch also adds no-op handlers for this feature. These handlers will be implemented in later patches. And you cannot write any values other than 0 to move_charge_at_immigrate yet.

2010-03-12cgroups: subsystem module unloadingBen Blum
Provides support for unloading modular subsystems. This patch adds a new function cgroup_unload_subsys which is to be used for removing a loaded subsystem during module deletion. Reference counting of the subsystems' modules is moved from once (at load time) to once per attached hierarchy (in parse_cgroupfs_options and rebind_subsystems) (i.e., 0 or 1).

2010-03-12cgroups: subsystem module loading interfaceBen Blum
Add interface between cgroups subsystem management and module loading This patch implements rudimentary module-loading support for cgroups - namely, a cgroup_load_subsys (similar to cgroup_init_subsys) for use as a module initcall, and a struct module pointer in struct cgroup_subsys. Several functions that might be wanted by modules have had EXPORT_SYMBOL added to them, but it's unclear exactly which functions want it and which won't.

Add cancel_attach() operation to struct cgroup_subsys. cancel_attach() can be used when can_attach() operation prepares something for the subsys, but we should rollback what can_attach() operation has prepared if attach task fails after we've succeeded in can_attach().

Documentation/vm/: Expose example and tool source files in the Documentation/ directory in their own files instead of being buried (almost hidden) in readme/txt files. This should help to prevent bitrot. This will make them more visible/usable to users who may need to use them, to developers who may need to test with them, and to anyone who would fix/update them if they were more visible. Also, if any of these possibly should not be in the kernel tree at all, it will be clearer that they are here and we can discuss if they should be removed. Also build the recently-added map_hugetlb.c. Make several functions static to prevent linker warnings.

2010-03-07Driver core: Constify struct sysfs_ops in struct kobj_typeEmese Revfy
Constify struct sysfs_ops. This is part of the ops structure constification effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al. Benefits of this constification: * prevents modification of data that is shared (referenced) by many other structure instances at runtime * detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional) modification attempts on archs that enforce read-only kernel data at runtime * potentially better optimized code as the compiler can assume that the const data cannot be changed * the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata and therefore exclude them from false sharing Signed-off-by: Emese Revfy <re.emese@gmail.com> Acked-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com> Acked-by: Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com> Acked-by: Maciej Sosnowski <maciej.sosnowski@intel.com> Acked-by: Hans J.

One of the roles which -mm fulfilled some time ago (to offer an integration testing ground) has been taken over by -next. This is still news to Documentation/HOWTO, so mention it there. Also add a word on how patchwork is used to track patches as they make their way into subsystem trees. Remove some arbitrary links to subsystem repositories; they can all be found in the MAINTAINERS database.
