2011-03-25genirq: Expand generic show_interrupts()Thomas Gleixner
Some archs want to print extra information for certain irq_chips which is per irq and not per chip. Allow them to provide a chip callback to print the chip name and the extra information. PowerPC wants to print the LEVEL/EDGE type information. Make it configurable. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2011-03-23genirq: Provide locked setter for chip, handler, nameThomas Gleixner
Some irq_set_type() callbacks need to change the chip and the handler when the trigger mode changes. We have already a (misnomed) setter function for the handler which can be called from irq_set_type(). Provide one which allows to set chip and name as well. Put the misnomed function under the COMPAT switch and provide a replacement. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2011-03-23genirq: Provide a lockdep helperThomas Gleixner

2011-03-22zlib: slim down zlib_deflate() workspace when possibleJim Keniston
Instead of always creating a huge (268K) deflate_workspace with the maximum compression parameters (windowBits=15, memLevel=8), allow the caller to obtain a smaller workspace by specifying smaller parameter values. For example, when capturing oops and panic reports to a medium with limited capacity, such as NVRAM, compression may be the only way to capture the whole report. In this case, a small workspace (24K works fine) is a win, whether you allocate the workspace when you need it (i.e., during an oops or panic) or at boot time. I've verified that this patch works with all accepted values of windowBits (positive and negative), memLevel, and compression level.

2011-03-22kstrto*: converting strings to integers done (hopefully) rightAlexey Dobriyan
1. simple_strto*() do not contain overflow checks and crufty, libc way to indicate failure. 2. strict_strto*() also do not have overflow checks but the name and comments pretend they do. 3. Both families have only "long long" and "long" variants, but users want strtou8() 4. Both "simple" and "strict" prefixes are wrong: Simple doesn't exactly say what's so simple, strict should not exist because conversion should be strict by default. The solution is to use "k" prefix and add convertors for more types. Enter kstrtoull() kstrtoll() kstrtoul() kstrtol() kstrtouint() kstrtoint() kstrtou64() kstrtos64() kstrtou32() kstrtos32() kstrtou16() kstrtos16() kstrtou8() kstrtos8() Include runtime testsuite (somewhat incomplete) as well. strict_strto*() become deprecated, stubbed to kstrto*() and eventually will be removed altogether. Use kstrto*() in code today! Note: on some archs _kstrtoul() and _kstrtol() are left in tree, even if they'll be unused at runtime. This is temporarily solution, because I don't want to hardcode list of archs where these functions aren't needed. Current solution with sizeof() and __alignof__ at least always works.

2011-03-22mm: add __GFP_OTHER_NODE flagAndi Kleen
Add a new __GFP_OTHER_NODE flag to tell the low level numa statistics in zone_statistics() that an allocation is on behalf of another thread. This way the local and remote counters can be still correct, even when background daemons like khugepaged are changing memory mappings. This only affects the accounting, but I think it's worth doing that right to avoid confusing users. I first tried to just pass down the right node, but this required a lot of changes to pass down this parameter and at least one addition of a 10th argument to a 9 argument function. Using the flag is a lot less intrusive. Open: should be also used for migration?

2011-03-22mm: vmscan: kswapd should not free an excessive number of pages when ↵Mel Gorman
balancing small zones When reclaiming for order-0 pages, kswapd requires that all zones be balanced. Each cycle through balance_pgdat() does background ageing on all zones if necessary and applies equal pressure on the inactive zone unless a lot of pages are free already. A "lot of free pages" is defined as a "balance gap" above the high watermark which is currently 7*high_watermark. Historically this was reasonable as min_free_kbytes was small. However, on systems using huge pages, it is recommended that min_free_kbytes is higher and it is tuned with hugeadm --set-recommended-min_free_kbytes. With the introduction of transparent huge page support, this recommended value is also applied. On X86-64 with 4G of memory, min_free_kbytes becomes 67584 so one would expect around 68M of memory to be free. The Normal zone is approximately 35000 pages so under even normal memory pressure such as copying a large file, it gets exhausted quickly. As it is getting exhausted, kswapd applies pressure equally to all zones, including the DMA32 zone. DMA32 is approximately 700,000 pages with a high watermark of around 23,000 pages. In this situation, kswapd will reclaim around (23000*8 where 8 is the high watermark + balance gap of 7 * high watermark) pages or 718M of pages before the zone is ignored. What the user sees is that free memory far higher than it should be. To avoid an excessive number of pages being reclaimed from the larger zones, explicitely defines the "balance gap" to be either 1% of the zone or the low watermark for the zone, whichever is smaller. While kswapd will check all zones to apply pressure, it'll ignore zones that meets the (high_wmark + balance_gap) watermark. To test this, 80G were copied from a partition and the amount of memory being used was recorded. A comparison of a patch and unpatched kernel can be seen at http://www.csn.ul.ie/~mel/postings/minfree-20110222/memory-usage-hydra.ps and shows that kswapd is not reclaiming as much memory with the patch applied.

2011-03-22pagewalk: only split huge pages when necessaryDave Hansen
Right now, if a mm_walk has either ->pte_entry or ->pmd_entry set, it will unconditionally split any transparent huge pages it runs in to. In practice, that means that anyone doing a cat /proc/$pid/smaps will unconditionally break down every huge page in the process and depend on khugepaged to re-collapse it later. This is fairly suboptimal. This patch changes that behavior. It teaches each ->pmd_entry handler (there are five) that they must break down the THPs themselves. Also, the _generic_ code will never break down a THP unless a ->pte_entry handler is actually set. This means that the ->pmd_entry handlers can now choose to deal with THPs without breaking them down.

2011-03-22mm: deactivate invalidated pagesMinchan Kim
Recently, there are reported problem about thrashing. (http://marc.info/?l=rsync&m=128885034930933&w=2) It happens by backup workloads(ex, nightly rsync). That's because the workload makes just use-once pages and touches pages twice. It promotes the page into active list so that it results in working set page eviction. Some app developer want to support POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE. But other OSes don't support it, either. (http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=128928979512086&w=2) By other approach, app developers use POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED. But it has a problem. If kernel meets page is writing during invalidate_mapping_pages, it can't work. It makes for application programmer to use it since they always have to sync data before calling fadivse(..POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED) to make sure the pages could be discardable. At last, they can't use deferred write of kernel so that they could see performance loss. (http://insights.oetiker.ch/linux/fadvise.html) In fact, invalidation is very big hint to reclaimer. It means we don't use the page any more. So let's move the writing page into inactive list's head if we can't truncate it right now. Why I move page to head of lru on this patch, Dirty/Writeback page would be flushed sooner or later. It can prevent writeout of pageout which is less effective than flusher's writeout.

2011-03-22mm: introduce delete_from_page_cache()Minchan Kim
Presently we increase the page refcount in add_to_page_cache() but don't decrease it in remove_from_page_cache(). Such asymmetry adds confusion, requiring that callers notice it and a comment explaining why they release a page reference. It's not a good API. A long time ago, Hugh tried it (http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/10/24/140) but gave up because reiser4's drop_page() had to unlock the page between removing it from page cache and doing the page_cache_release(). But now the situation is changed. I think at least things in current mainline don't have any obstacles. The problem is for out-of-mainline filesystems - if they have done such things as reiser4, this patch could be a problem but they will discover this at compile time since we remove remove_from_page_cache(). This patch: This function works as just wrapper remove_from_page_cache(). The difference is that it decreases page references in itself. So caller have to make sure it has a page reference before calling. This patch is ready for removing remove_from_page_cache().

2011-03-22mm: allow GUP to fail instead of waiting on a pageGleb Natapov
GUP user may want to try to acquire a reference to a page if it is already in memory, but not if IO, to bring it in, is needed.

2011-03-22oom: suppress nodes that are not allowed from meminfo on oom killDavid Rientjes
The oom killer is extremely verbose for machines with a large number of cpus and/or nodes. This verbosity can often be harmful if it causes other important messages to be scrolled from the kernel log and incurs a signicant time delay, specifically for kernels with CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT > 8. This patch causes only memory information to be displayed for nodes that are allowed by current's cpuset when dumping the VM state. Information for all other nodes is irrelevant to the oom condition; we don't care if there's an abundance of memory elsewhere if we can't access it. This only affects the behavior of dumping memory information when an oom is triggered. Other dumps, such as for sysrq+m, still display the unfiltered form when using the existing show_mem() interface.

2011-03-22kthread: NUMA aware kthread_create_on_node()Eric Dumazet
All kthreads being created from a single helper task, they all use memory from a single node for their kernel stack and task struct. This patch suite creates kthread_create_on_node(), adding a 'cpu' parameter to parameters already used by kthread_create(). This parameter serves in allocating memory for the new kthread on its memory node if possible. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Acked-by: David S.

2011-03-22mm: compaction: prevent kswapd compacting memory to reduce CPU usageAndrea Arcangeli
This patch reverts 5a03b051 ("thp: use compaction in kswapd for GFP_ATOMIC order > 0") due to reports stating that kswapd CPU usage was higher and IRQs were being disabled more frequently. This was reported at http://www.spinics.net/linux/fedora/alsa-user/msg09885.html. Without this patch applied, CPU usage by kswapd hovers around the 20% mark according to the tester (Arthur Marsh: http://www.spinics.net/linux/fedora/alsa-user/msg09899.html). With this patch applied, it's around 2%. The problem is not related to THP which specifies __GFP_NO_KSWAPD but is triggered by high-order allocations hitting the low watermark for their order and waking kswapd on kernels with CONFIG_COMPACTION set. The most common trigger for this is network cards configured for jumbo frames but it's also possible it'll be triggered by fork-heavy workloads (order-1) and some wireless cards which depend on order-1 allocations. The symptoms for the user will be high CPU usage by kswapd in low-memory situations which could be confused with another writeback problem. While a patch like 5a03b051 may be reintroduced in the future, this patch plays it safe for now and reverts it.

2011-03-22pwm_backlight: add check_fb() hookRobert Morell
In systems with multiple framebuffer devices, one of the devices might be blanked while another is unblanked. In order for the backlight blanking logic to know whether to turn off the backlight for a particular framebuffer's blanking notification, it needs to be able to check if a given framebuffer device corresponds to the backlight. This plumbs the check_fb hook from core backlight through the pwm_backlight helper to allow platform code to plug in a check_fb hook.

2011-03-22tty: stop using "delayed_work" in the tty layerLinus Torvalds
Using delayed-work for tty flip buffers ends up causing us to wait for the next tick to complete some actions. That's usually not all that noticeable, but for certain latency-critical workloads it ends up being totally unacceptable. As an extreme case of this, passing a token back-and-forth over a pty will take two ticks per iteration, so even just a thousand iterations will take 8 seconds assuming a common 250Hz configuration. Avoiding the whole delayed work issue brings that ping-pong test-case down to 0.009s on my machine. In more practical terms, this latency has been a performance problem for things like dive computer simulators (simulating the serial interface using the ptys) and for other environments (Alan mentions a CP/M emulator).

2011-03-22libceph: add lingering request and watch/notify event frameworkYehuda Sadeh
Lingering requests are requests that are sent to the OSD normally but tracked also after we get a successful request. This keeps the OSD connection open and resends the original request if the object moves to another OSD. The OSD can then send notification messages back to us if another client initiates a notify. This framework will be used by RBD so that the client gets notification when a snapshot is created by another node or tool.

2011-03-21IPVS: Use global mutex in ip_vs_app.cSimon Horman
As part of the work to make IPVS network namespace aware __ip_vs_app_mutex was replaced by a per-namespace lock, ipvs->app_mutex. ipvs->app_key is also supplied for debugging purposes. Unfortunately this implementation results in ipvs->app_key residing in non-static storage which at the very least causes a lockdep warning. This patch takes the rather heavy-handed approach of reinstating __ip_vs_app_mutex which will cover access to the ipvs->list_head of all network namespaces.

So if the SA is created by pf_key, any input packet with SA's encryption algorithm will cause panic. int xfrm_input() { ... x->repl->advance(x, seq); ... } This patch fixed it by introduce new function __xfrm_init_state().
