Since it can do things like BREAK and HUP, we implement

This still needs interrupt probing code, as I haven't figured

The 40-bit DMA workaround recently implemented for 5714, 5715, and
5780 needs to be expanded because there may be other tg3 devices
behind the EPB Express to PCIX bridge in the 5780 class device.
For example, some 4-port card or mother board designs have 5704 behind
the 5714.
All devices behind the EPB require the 40-bit DMA workaround.
Thanks to Chris Elmquist again for reporting the problem and testing
the patch.

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.
This bug led to "Assertion failure in journal_dirty_metadata()" messages.

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.

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.

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.

Also from Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
Function next_timer_interrupt() got broken with a recent patch
6ba1b91213e81aa92b5cf7539f7d2a94ff54947c as sys_nanosleep() was moved to
hrtimer. This broke things as next_timer_interrupt() did not check hrtimer
tree for next event.
Function next_timer_interrupt() is needed with dyntick (CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ,
VST) implementations, as the system can be in idle when next hrtimer event
was supposed to happen. At least ARM and S390 currently use
next_timer_interrupt().

This patch adds mm->task_size to keep track of the task size of a given mm
and uses that to fix the powerpc vdso so that it uses the mm task size to
decide what pages to fault in instead of the current thread flags (which
broke when ptracing).
(akpm: I expect that mm_struct.task_size will become the way in which we
finally sort out the confusion between 32-bit processes and 32-bit mm's. It
may need tweaks, but at this stage this patch is powerpc-only.)

I'm currently at the POSIX meeting and one thing covered was the
incompatibility of Linux's link() with the POSIX definition. The name.
Linux does not follow symlinks, POSIX requires it does.
Even if somebody thinks this is a good default behavior we cannot change this
because it would break the ABI. But the fact remains that some application
might want this behavior.
We have one chance to help implementing this without breaking the behavior.
For this we could use the new linkat interface which would need a new
flags parameter. If the new parameter is AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW the new
behavior could be invoked.
I do not want to introduce such a patch now. But we could add the
parameter now, just don't use it. The patch below would do this. Can we
get this late patch applied before the release more or less fixes the
syscall API?

This change reverts the 033b96fd30db52a710d97b06f87d16fc59fee0f1 commit
from Kay Sievers that removed the mount/umount uevents from the kernel.
Some older versions of HAL still depend on these events to detect when a
new device has been mounted. These events are not correctly emitted,
and are broken by design, and so, should not be relied upon by any
future program. Instead, the /proc/mounts file should be polled to
properly detect this kind of event.
A feature-removal-schedule.txt entry has been added, noting when this
interface will be removed from the kernel.

Currently, acpi video options can only be set on kernel command line. That's
little inflexible; I'd like userland s2ram application that just works, and
modifying kernel command line according to whitelist is not fun. It is better
to just allow s2ram application to set video options just before suspend
(according to the whitelist).
This implements sysctl to allow setting suspend video options without reboot.

Some allocations are restricted to a limited set of nodes (due to memory
policies or cpuset constraints). If the page allocator is not able to find
enough memory then that does not mean that overall system memory is low.
In particular going postal and more or less randomly shooting at processes
is not likely going to help the situation but may just lead to suicide (the
whole system coming down).
It is better to signal to the process that no memory exists given the
constraints that the process (or the configuration of the process) has
placed on the allocation behavior. The process may be killed but then the
sysadmin or developer can investigate the situation. The solution is
similar to what we do when running out of hugepages.
This patch adds a check before we kill processes. At that point
performance considerations do not matter much so we just scan the zonelist
and reconstruct a list of nodes. If the list of nodes does not contain all
online nodes then this is a constrained allocation and we should kill the
current process.

This provides an interface for arch code to find out how many
nanoseconds are going to be added on to xtime by the next call to
do_timer. The value returned is a fixed-point number in 52.12 format
in nanoseconds. The reason for this format is that it gives the
full precision that the timekeeping code is using internally.
The motivation for this is to fix a problem that has arisen on 32-bit
powerpc in that the value returned by do_gettimeofday drifts apart
from xtime if NTP is being used. PowerPC is now using a lockless
do_gettimeofday based on reading the timebase register and performing
some simple arithmetic. (This method of getting the time is also
exported to userspace via the VDSO.) However, the factor and offset
it uses were calculated based on the nominal tick length and weren't
being adjusted when NTP varied the tick length.
Note that 64-bit powerpc has had the lockless do_gettimeofday for a
long time now. It also had an extremely hairy routine that got called
from the 32-bit compat routine for adjtimex, which adjusted the
factor and offset according to what it thought the timekeeping code
was going to do. Not only was this only called if a 32-bit task did
adjtimex (i.e. not if a 64-bit task did adjtimex), it was also
duplicating computations from kernel/timer.c and it wasn't clear that
it was (still) correct.
The simple solution is to ask the timekeeping code how long the
current jiffy will be on each timer interrupt, after calling
do_timer. If this jiffy will be a different length from the last one,
we then need to compute new values for the factor and offset used in
the lockless do_gettimeofday. In this way we can keep xtime and
do_gettimeofday in sync, even when NTP is varying the tick length.
Note that when adjtimex varies the tick length, it almost always
introduces the variation from the next tick on. The only case I could
see where adjtimex would vary the length of the current tick is when
an old-style adjtime adjustment is being cancelled. (It's not clear
to me why the adjustment has to be cancelled immediately rather than
from the next tick on.) Thus I don't see any real need for a hook in
adjtimex; the rare case of an old-style adjustment being cancelled can
be fixed up at the next tick.
