2012-10-12Merge branch 'v4l_for_linus' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media Pull second set of media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab: "Despite its size, most of the stuff here is trivial. This series contains: - s5p-mfc: additions at the driver and at the core to support H.264 hardware codec; - Some improvements at s5p and davinci embedded drivers; - Some V4L2 compliance fixes applied on a few drivers; - Several random trivial patches, including several fixes and a few new board support additions; Notes: 1) Some Exynos media patches were dependent on some -arm fixes that got merged on changeset 782cd9e. That's why this pull request is based that changeset. 2) As promised, I reviewed the pending VB2 DMABUF series. While setting a test environment, it was noticed that the upstream support for Samsung Exynos 4 boards (smdk310 and Origen) are broken upstream, likely due to regressions: both defconfigs are wrong and regulator settings for both boards are broken. That, allied with some bug at the dummy regulator driver, causes OOPSes during boot time. Long story short: even fixing the above, the proposed patches OOPSed when running the DMABUF test. Not sure yet if the OOPSes are due to some other undetected regressions, or due to some bug on the patches. Due to the above, DMABUF patches for vb2 got NACKed for 3.7." * 'v4l_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media: (109 commits) [media] m5mols: Add missing #include <linux/sizes.h> [media] stk1160: Add support for S-Video input Revert "[media] omap3isp: Replace cpu_is_omap3630() with ISP revision check" [media] dvb: LNA implementation changes [media] v4l2-ioctl: fix W=1 warnings [media] v4l2-ioctl: add blocks check for VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G/S_EDID [media] omap3isp: Fix compilation error in ispreg.h [media] rc-msi-digivox-ii: Add full scan keycodes [media] cx25821: testing the wrong variable [media] tda18271-common: hold the I2C adapter during write transfers [media] ds3000: add module parameter to force firmware upload [media] drivers/media: Remove unnecessary semicolon [media] winbond: remove space from driver name [media] iguanair: cannot send data from the stack [media] omap3isp: Replace cpu_is_omap3630() with ISP revision check [media] dvb-usb: print small buffers via %*ph [media] uvc: Add return code check at vb2_queue_init() [media] em28xx: Replace memcpy with struct assignment [media] bt8xx: Add video4linux control V4L2_CID_COLOR_KILLER [media] mem2mem_testdev: Use devm_kzalloc() in probe ...

2012-10-11Merge branch 'i2c-embedded/for-next' of git://git.pengutronix.de/git/wsa/linuxLinus Torvalds
Pull i2c-embedded changes from Wolfram Sang: "The changes for i2c-embedded include: - massive rework of the omap driver - massive rework of the at91 driver. In fact, the old driver gets removed; I am okay with this approach since the old driver was depending on BROKEN and its limitations made it practically unusable, so people used bitbanging instead. But even if there are users, there is no platform_data or module parameter which would need to be converted. It is just another driver doing I2C transfers, just way better. Modifications of arch/arm/at91 related files have proper acks from the maintainer. - new driver for R-Car I2C - devicetree and generic_clock conversions and fixes - usual driver fixes and changes. The rework patches have come a long way and lots of people have been involved in creating/testing them. Most patches have been in linux-next at least since 3.6-rc5. A few have been added in the last week, I have to admit. An unexpected (but welcome :)) peak in private life is the cause for that. The "late" patches shouldn't cause any merge conflicts and I will have a special eye on them during the stabilization phase. This is an exception and I want to have the patches in place properly in time again for the next kernels." * 'i2c-embedded/for-next' of git://git.pengutronix.de/git/wsa/linux: (44 commits) MXS: Implement DMA support into mxs-i2c i2c: add Renesas R-Car I2C driver i2c: s3c2410: use clk_prepare_enable and clk_disable_unprepare ARM: OMAP: convert I2C driver to PM QoS for MPU latency constraints i2c: nomadik: Add Device Tree support to the Nomadik I2C driver i2c: algo: pca: Fix chip reset function for PCA9665 i2c: mpc: Wait for STOP to hit the bus i2c: davinci: preparation for switch to common clock framework omap-i2c: fix incorrect log message when using a device tree i2c: omap: sanitize exit path i2c: omap: switch over to autosuspend API i2c: omap: remove unnecessary pm_runtime_suspended check i2c: omap: switch to threaded IRQ support i2c: omap: remove redundant status read i2c: omap: get rid of the "complete" label i2c: omap: resize fifos before each message i2c: omap: simplify IRQ exit path i2c: omap: always return IRQ_HANDLED i2c: omap: simplify errata check i2c: omap: bus: add a receiver flag ...

Pull block IO update from Jens Axboe: "Core block IO bits for 3.7. Not a huge round this time, it contains: - First series from Kent cleaning up and generalizing bio allocation and freeing. - WRITE_SAME support from Martin. - Mikulas patches to prevent O_DIRECT crashes when someone changes the block size of a device. - Make bio_split() work on data-less bio's (like trim/discards). - A few other minor fixups." Fixed up silent semantic mis-merge as per Mikulas Patocka and Andrew Morton.

2012-10-10Merge tag 'for-3.7-rc1' of git://gitorious.org/linux-pwm/linux-pwmLinus Torvalds
Pull pwm changes from Thierry Reding: "All legacy PWM providers have now been moved to the PWM subsystem. The plan for 3.8 is to adapt all board files to provide a lookup table for PWM devices in order to get rid of the global namespace. Subsequently, users of the legacy pwm_request() and pwm_free() functions can be migrated to the new pwm_get() and pwm_put() functions. Once this has been completed, the legacy API and the compatibility code in the core can be removed. In addition to the above, these changes also add support for configuring the polarity of a PWM signal (currently only supported on ECAP and EHRPWM) and include a much needed rework of the i.MX driver. Managed functions to obtain and release a PWM device (devm_pwm_get() and devm_pwm_put()) have been added and the pwm-backlight driver has been updated to use them. If the PWM subsystem hasn't been enabled, dummy functions are provided that allow the subsystem to safely compile out. Some common checks on input parameters have been moved to the core and removed from the drivers. Finally, a small fix corrects the description of the PWM specifier's second cell in the device tree representation." * tag 'for-3.7-rc1' of git://gitorious.org/linux-pwm/linux-pwm: (23 commits) pwm: dt: Fix description of second PWM cell pwm: Check for negative duty-cycle and period pwm: Add Ingenic JZ4740 support MIPS: JZ4740: Export timer API pwm: Move PUV3 PWM driver to PWM framework unicore32: pwm: Use managed resource allocations unicore32: pwm: Remove unnecessary indirection unicore32: pwm: Use module_platform_driver() unicore32: pwm: Properly remap memory-mapped registers pwm-backlight: Use devm_pwm_get() instead of pwm_get() pwm: Move AB8500 PWM driver to PWM framework pwm: Fix compilation error when CONFIG_PWM is not defined pwm: i.MX: fix clock lookup pwm: i.MX: use per clock unconditionally pwm: i.MX: add devicetree support pwm: i.MX: Use module_platform_driver pwm: i.MX: add functions to enable/disable pwm. pwm: i.MX: remove unnecessary if in pwm_[en|dis]able pwm: i.MX: factor out SoC specific functions pwm: pwm-tiehrpwm: Add support for configuring polarity of PWM ...

2012-10-09mm, thp: fix mapped pages avoiding unevictable list on mlockDavid Rientjes
When a transparent hugepage is mapped and it is included in an mlock() range, follow_page() incorrectly avoids setting the page's mlock bit and moving it to the unevictable lru. This is evident if you try to mlock(), munlock(), and then mlock() a range again. Currently: #define MAP_SIZE (4 << 30) /* 4GB */ void *ptr = mmap(NULL, MAP_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, 0, 0); mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE); $ grep -E "Unevictable|Inactive\(anon" /proc/meminfo Inactive(anon): 6304 kB Unevictable: 4213924 kB munlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE); Inactive(anon): 4186252 kB Unevictable: 19652 kB mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE); Inactive(anon): 4198556 kB Unevictable: 21684 kB Notice that less than 2MB was added to the unevictable list; this is because these pages in the range are not transparent hugepages since the 4GB range was allocated with mmap() and has no specific alignment. If posix_memalign() were used instead, unevictable would not have grown at all on the second mlock(). The fix is to call mlock_vma_page() so that the mlock bit is set and the page is added to the unevictable list. With this patch: mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE); Inactive(anon): 4056 kB Unevictable: 4213940 kB munlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE); Inactive(anon): 4198268 kB Unevictable: 19636 kB mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE); Inactive(anon): 4008 kB Unevictable: 4213940 kB Signed-off-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Acked-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Reviewed-by: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com> Cc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Michel Lespinasse <walken@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2012-10-09memory-hotplug: update memory block's state and notify userspaceWen Congyang
remove_memory() will be called when hot removing a memory device. But even if offlining memory, we cannot notice it. So the patch updates the memory block's state and sends notification to userspace. Additionally, the memory device may contain more than one memory block. If the memory block has been offlined, __offline_pages() will fail. So we should try to offline one memory block at a time. Thus remove_memory() also check each memory block's state. So there is no need to check the memory block's state before calling remove_memory().

2012-10-09memory-hotplug: preparation to notify memory block's state at memory hot removeWen Congyang
remove_memory() is called in two cases: 1. echo offline >/sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXX/state 2. hot remove a memory device In the 1st case, the memory block's state is changed and the notification that memory block's state changed is sent to userland after calling remove_memory(). So user can notice memory block is changed. But in the 2nd case, the memory block's state is not changed and the notification is not also sent to userspcae even if calling remove_memory(). So user cannot notice memory block is changed. For adding the notification at memory hot remove, the patch just prepare as follows: 1st case uses offline_pages() for offlining memory. 2nd case uses remove_memory() for offlining memory and changing memory block's state and notifing the information. The patch does not implement notification to remove_memory().

Presently CMA cannot migrate mlocked pages so it ends up failing to allocate contiguous memory space. This patch makes mlocked pages be migrated out. Of course, it can affect realtime processes but in CMA usecase, contiguous memory allocation failing is far worse than access latency to an mlocked page being variable while CMA is running.

2012-10-09memory-hotplug: fix zone stat mismatchMinchan Kim
During memory-hotplug, I found NR_ISOLATED_[ANON|FILE] are increasing, causing the kernel to hang. When the system doesn't have enough free pages, it enters reclaim but never reclaim any pages due to too_many_isolated()==true and loops forever. The cause is that when we do memory-hotadd after memory-remove, __zone_pcp_update() clears a zone's ZONE_STAT_ITEMS in setup_pageset() although the vm_stat_diff of all CPUs still have values. In addtion, when we offline all pages of the zone, we reset them in zone_pcp_reset without draining so we loss some zone stat item.

2012-10-09mm: move all mmu notifier invocations to be done outside the PT lockSagi Grimberg
In order to allow sleeping during mmu notifier calls, we need to avoid invoking them under the page table spinlock. This patch solves the problem by calling invalidate_page notification after releasing the lock (but before freeing the page itself), or by wrapping the page invalidation with calls to invalidate_range_begin and invalidate_range_end. To prevent accidental changes to the invalidate_range_end arguments after the call to invalidate_range_begin, the patch introduces a convention of saving the arguments in consistently named locals: unsigned long mmun_start; /* For mmu_notifiers */ unsigned long mmun_end; /* For mmu_notifiers */ ... mmun_start = ... mmun_end = ... mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(mm, mmun_start, mmun_end); ... mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end(mm, mmun_start, mmun_end); The patch changes code to use this convention for all calls to mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end, except those where the calls are close enough so that anyone who glances at the code can see the values aren't changing. This patchset is a preliminary step towards on-demand paging design to be added to the RDMA stack. Why do we want on-demand paging for Infiniband? Applications register memory with an RDMA adapter using system calls, and subsequently post IO operations that refer to the corresponding virtual addresses directly to HW. Until now, this was achieved by pinning the memory during the registration calls. The goal of on demand paging is to avoid pinning the pages of registered memory regions (MRs). This will allow users the same flexibility they get when swapping any other part of their processes address spaces. Instead of requiring the entire MR to fit in physical memory, we can allow the MR to be larger, and only fit the current working set in physical memory. Why should anyone care? What problems are users currently experiencing? This can make programming with RDMA much simpler. Today, developers that are working with more data than their RAM can hold need either to deregister and reregister memory regions throughout their process's life, or keep a single memory region and copy the data to it. On demand paging will allow these developers to register a single MR at the beginning of their process's life, and let the operating system manage which pages needs to be fetched at a given time. In the future, we might be able to provide a single memory access key for each process that would provide the entire process's address as one large memory region, and the developers wouldn't need to register memory regions at all. Is there any prospect that any other subsystems will utilise these infrastructural changes? If so, which and how, etc? As for other subsystems, I understand that XPMEM wanted to sleep in MMU notifiers, as Christoph Lameter wrote at http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0802.1/0460.html and perhaps Andrea knows about other use cases. Scheduling in mmu notifications is required since we need to sync the hardware with the secondary page tables change. A TLB flush of an IO device is inherently slower than a CPU TLB flush, so our design works by sending the invalidation request to the device, and waiting for an interrupt before exiting the mmu notifier handler. Avi said: kvm may be a buyer. kvm::mmu_lock, which serializes guest page faults, also protects long operations such as destroying large ranges. It would be good to convert it into a spinlock, but as it is used inside mmu notifiers, this cannot be done. (there are alternatives, such as keeping the spinlock and using a generation counter to do the teardown in O(1), which is what the "may" is doing up there).

2012-10-09mm, numa: reclaim from all nodes within reclaim distanceDavid Rientjes
RECLAIM_DISTANCE represents the distance between nodes at which it is deemed too costly to allocate from; it's preferred to try to reclaim from a local zone before falling back to allocating on a remote node with such a distance. To do this, zone_reclaim_mode is set if the distance between any two nodes on the system is greather than this distance. This, however, ends up causing the page allocator to reclaim from every zone regardless of its affinity. What we really want is to reclaim only from zones that are closer than RECLAIM_DISTANCE. This patch adds a nodemask to each node that represents the set of nodes that are within this distance. During the zone iteration, if the bit for a zone's node is set for the local node, then reclaim is attempted; otherwise, the zone is skipped.
