Replace the inline comments (and some others below) with a full
explanation of the semantics, in kernel-doc format. Specify which
strings may be empty. Document the relationship with other commands.
Replace the 'deprecation' of some fields with a proper explanation of
the conversion to generalised string sets, as userland programs may
not be able to assume that ETHTOOL_GSSET_INFO is available.

struct ethtool_cmd has very limited documentation; it contains
several obscure or obsolete fields and several with non-obvious
interpretation.
Replace the inline comments (and some others below) with a full
explanation of the semantics as well as I understand them, in
kernel-doc format. Formally deprecate some fields that seem to be of
historical use only.
Extend the comment about 32/64-bit compatibility to cover all
ethtool structures.

It actually goes back to 2004 ([PATCH] Concurrent O_SYNC write support)
when sync_page_range() had been introduced; generic_file_write{,v}() correctly
synced
pos_after_write - written .. pos_after_write - 1
but generic_file_aio_write() synced
pos_before_write .. pos_before_write + written - 1
instead. Which is not the same thing with O_APPEND, obviously.
A couple of years later correct variant had been killed off when
everything switched to use of generic_file_aio_write().
All users of generic_file_aio_write() are affected, and the same bug
has been copied into other instances of ->aio_write().
The fix is trivial; the only subtle point is that generic_write_sync()
ought to be inlined to avoid calculations useless for the majority of
calls.

This is a patch to improve swap readahead algorithm. It's from Hugh and
I slightly changed it.
Hugh's original changelog:
swapin readahead does a blind readahead, whether or not the swapin is
sequential. This may be ok on harddisk, because large reads have
relatively small costs, and if the readahead pages are unneeded they can
be reclaimed easily - though, what if their allocation forced reclaim of
useful pages? But on SSD devices large reads are more expensive than
small ones: if the readahead pages are unneeded, reading them in caused
significant overhead.
This patch adds very simplistic random read detection. Stealing the
PageReadahead technique from Konstantin Khlebnikov's patch, avoiding the
vma/anon_vma sophistications of Shaohua Li's patch, swapin_nr_pages()
simply looks at readahead's current success rate, and narrows or widens
its readahead window accordingly. There is little science to its
heuristic: it's about as stupid as can be whilst remaining effective.
The table below shows elapsed times (in centiseconds) when running a
single repetitive swapping load across a 1000MB mapping in 900MB ram
with 1GB swap (the harddisk tests had taken painfully too long when I
used mem=500M, but SSD shows similar results for that).
Vanilla is the 3.6-rc7 kernel on which I started; Shaohua denotes his
Sep 3 patch in mmotm and linux-next; HughOld denotes my Oct 1 patch
which Shaohua showed to be defective; HughNew this Nov 14 patch, with
page_cluster as usual at default of 3 (8-page reads); HughPC4 this same
patch with page_cluster 4 (16-page reads); HughPC0 with page_cluster 0
(1-page reads: no readahead).
HDD for swapping to harddisk, SSD for swapping to VertexII SSD. Seq for
sequential access to the mapping, cycling five times around; Rand for
the same number of random touches. Anon for a MAP_PRIVATE anon mapping;
Shmem for a MAP_SHARED anon mapping, equivalent to tmpfs.
One weakness of Shaohua's vma/anon_vma approach was that it did not
optimize Shmem: seen below. Konstantin's approach was perhaps mistuned,
50% slower on Seq: did not compete and is not shown below.

Rand Shmem 45349 45215 28249 24268 24138 24332
These tests are, of course, two extremes of a very simple case: under
heavier mixed loads I've not yet observed any consistent improvement or
degradation, and wider testing would be welcome.
Shaohua Li:
Test shows Vanilla is slightly better in sequential workload than Hugh's
patch. I observed with Hugh's patch sometimes the readahead size is
shrinked too fast (from 8 to 1 immediately) in sequential workload if
there is no hit. And in such case, continuing doing readahead is good
actually.
I don't prepare a sophisticated algorithm for the sequential workload
because so far we can't guarantee sequential accessed pages are swap out
sequentially. So I slightly change Hugh's heuristic - don't shrink
readahead size too fast.
Here is my test result (unit second, 3 runs average):
Vanilla Hugh New
Seq 356 370 360
Random 4525 2447 2444
Attached graph is the swapin/swapout throughput I collected with 'vmstat
2'. The first part is running a random workload (till around 1200 of
the x-axis) and the second part is running a sequential workload.
swapin and swapout throughput are almost identical in steady state in
both workloads. These are expected behavior. while in Vanilla, swapin
is much bigger than swapout especially in random workload (because wrong
readahead).

We may lost race if we flush the rule-set (which happens asynchronously
via call_rcu) and we try to remove the table (that userspace assumes
to be empty).
Fix this by recovering synchronous rule and chain deletion. This was
introduced time ago before we had no batch support, and synchronous
rule deletion performance was not good. Now that we have the batch
support, we can just postpone the purge of old rule in a second step
in the commit phase. All object deletions are synchronous after this
patch.
As a side effect, we save memory as we don't need rcu_head per rule
anymore.

This changes 'do_execve()' to get the executable name as a 'struct
filename', and to free it when it is done. This is what the normal
users want, and it simplifies and streamlines their error handling.
The controlled lifetime of the executable name also fixes a
use-after-free problem with the trace_sched_process_exec tracepoint: the
lifetime of the passed-in string for kernel users was not at all
obvious, and the user-mode helper code used UMH_WAIT_EXEC to serialize
the pathname allocation lifetime with the execve() having finished,
which in turn meant that the trace point that happened after
mm_release() of the old process VM ended up using already free'd memory.
To solve the kernel string lifetime issue, this simply introduces
"getname_kernel()" that works like the normal user-space getname()
function, except with the source coming from kernel memory.
As Oleg points out, this also means that we could drop the tcomm[] array
from 'struct linux_binprm', since the pathname lifetime now covers
setup_new_exec(). That would be a separate cleanup.

With this patch, the conntrack refcount is initially set to zero and
it is bumped once it is added to any of the list, so we fulfill
Eric's golden rule which is that all released objects always have a
refcount that equals zero.
Andrey Vagin reports that nf_conntrack_free can't be called for a
conntrack with non-zero ref-counter, because it can race with
nf_conntrack_find_get().
A conntrack slab is created with SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU. Non-zero
ref-counter says that this conntrack is used. So when we release
a conntrack with non-zero counter, we break this assumption.

MII management bus clock is derived from the MAC clock by dividing it by
MIIMODER register CLKDIV field value. This value may need to be set up
in case it is undefined or its default value is too high (and
communication with PHY is too slow) or too low (and communication with
PHY is impossible). The value of CLKDIV is not specified directly, but
is derived from the MAC clock for the default MII management bus frequency
of 2.5MHz. The MAC clock may be specified in the platform data, or in
the 'clocks' device tree attribute.

nfs41_wake_and_assign_slot() relies on the task->tk_msg.rpc_argp and
task->tk_msg.rpc_resp always pointing to the session sequence arguments.
nfs4_proc_open_confirm tries to pull a fast one by reusing the open
sequence structure, thus causing corruption of the NFSv4 slot table.

Pull ACPI and power management fixes and cleanups from Rafael Wysocki:
- ACPI device hotplug fix preventing ACPI drivers from binding to device
objects that acpi_bus_trim() has been called for and the devices
represented by them may not be operational.
- Recent cpufreq changes related to the "boost" (turbo) feature broke
the acpi-cpufreq error code path causing a NULL pointer dereference
to occur on some systems. Fix from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk.
- The log level of a CPU initialization error message added recently
needs to be reduced, because the particular BIOS issue indicated by
it turns out to be widespread and doesn't really matter for the
majority of systems having it. From Jiang Liu.
- The regulator API needs to be told to stay away from things on systems
with ACPI BIOSes or it may conflict with the BIOS' own handling of
voltage regulators. Fix from Mark Brown that works around a 3.13
regression in lm90 on PCs occuring if the regulator API is enabled.
- Prevent the Exynos4 devfreq driver from being built on multiplatform,
because it depends on things that aren't available during such builds.
From Sachin Kamat.
- Upstream ACPICA doesn't use the bool type as defined in the kernel,
so modify the kernel's ACPICA code to follow the upstream in that
respect (only one variable definition is affected) to reduce
divergences between the two. From Lv Zheng.
- Make the ACPI device PM code use ACPI_COMPANION() instead of its own
routine doing the same thing (and invokng ACPI_COMPANION() in the
process).
- Modify some routines in the ACPI processor driver to follow the
common convention and return negative integers on errors. From

"Bug-fixes for the new features that were added during this cycle.
There are also two fixes for long-standing issues for which we have a

aggressive causing OOMs.
Details:
- Xen ARM couldn't use the new FIFO events
- Xen ARM couldn't use the SWIOTLB if compiled as 32-bit with 64-bit PCIe devices.
- Grant table were doing needless M2P operations.
- Ratchet down the self-balloon code so it won't OOM.
- Fix misplaced kfree in Xen PVH error code paths"
* tag 'stable/for-linus-3.14-rc0-late-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip:
xen/pvh: Fix misplaced kfree from xlated_setup_gnttab_pages
drivers: xen: deaggressive selfballoon driver
xen/grant-table: Avoid m2p_override during mapping
xen/gnttab: Use phys_addr_t to describe the grant frame base address
xen: swiotlb: handle sizeof(dma_addr_t) != sizeof(phys_addr_t)
arm/xen: Initialize event channels earlier
|
|
The grant mapping API does m2p_override unnecessarily: only gntdev needs it,
for blkback and future netback patches it just cause a lock contention, as
those pages never go to userspace. Therefore this series does the following:
- the original functions were renamed to __gnttab_[un]map_refs, with a new
parameter m2p_override
- based on m2p_override either they follow the original behaviour, or just set
the private flag and call set_phys_to_machine
- gnttab_[un]map_refs are now a wrapper to call __gnttab_[un]map_refs with
m2p_override false
- a new function gnttab_[un]map_refs_userspace provides the old behaviour
It also removes a stray space from page.h and change ret to 0 if
XENFEAT_auto_translated_physmap, as that is the only possible return value
there.
v2:
- move the storing of the old mfn in page->index to gnttab_map_refs
- move the function header update to a separate patch
v3:
- a new approach to retain old behaviour where it needed
- squash the patches into one
v4:
- move out the common bits from m2p* functions, and pass pfn/mfn as parameter
- clear page->private before doing anything with the page, so m2p_find_override
won't race with this
v5:
- change return value handling in __gnttab_[un]map_refs
- remove a stray space in page.h
- add detail why ret = 0 now at some places
v6:
- don't pass pfn to m2p* functions, just get it locally

On x86, SLUB creates and handles <=8192-byte allocations internally.
It passes larger ones up to the allocator. Saying "up to order 2" is,
at best, ambiguous. Is that order-1? Or (order-2 bytes)? Make
it more clear.
SLOB commits a similar sin. It *handles* page-size requests, but the
comment says that it passes up "all page size and larger requests".
SLOB also swaps around the order of the very-similarly-named
KMALLOC_SHIFT_HIGH and KMALLOC_SHIFT_MAX #defines. Make it
consistent with the order of the other two allocators.

Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
"The most notable new addition inside this pull request is the support
for MIPS's latest and greatest core called "inter/proAptiv". The
patch series describes this core as follows.
"The interAptiv is a power-efficient multi-core microprocessor
for use in system-on-chip (SoC) applications. The interAptiv combines
a multi-threading pipeline with a coherence manager to deliver improved
computational throughput and power efficiency. The interAptiv can
contain one to four MIPS32R3 interAptiv cores, system level
coherence manager with L2 cache, optional coherent I/O port,
and optional floating point unit."
The platform specific patches touch all 3 Broadcom families. It adds
support for the new Broadcom/Netlogix XLP9xx Soc, building a common
BCM63XX SMP kernel for all BCM63XX SoCs regardless of core type/count
and full gpio button/led descriptions for BCM47xx.
The rest of the series are cleanups and bug fixes that are MIPS
generic and consist largely of changes that Imgtec/MIPS had published
in their linux-mti-3.10.git stable tree. Random other cleanups and

made of two pull requests from Scott and Anatolij that I had missed
previously (they arrived while I was away). Since both their branches
are in -next independently, and the content has been around for a
little while, they can still go in.
The rest is mostly bug and regression fixes, a small series of
cleanups to our pseries cpuidle code (including moving it to the right
place), and one new cpuidle bakend for the powernv platform. I also
wired up the new sched_attr syscalls"

This patch moves zsmalloc under mm directory.
Before that, description will explain why we have needed custom
allocator.
Zsmalloc is a new slab-based memory allocator for storing compressed
pages. It is designed for low fragmentation and high allocation success
rate on large object, but <= PAGE_SIZE allocations.
zsmalloc differs from the kernel slab allocator in two primary ways to
achieve these design goals.
zsmalloc never requires high order page allocations to back slabs, or
"size classes" in zsmalloc terms. Instead it allows multiple
single-order pages to be stitched together into a "zspage" which backs
the slab. This allows for higher allocation success rate under memory
pressure.
Also, zsmalloc allows objects to span page boundaries within the zspage.
This allows for lower fragmentation than could be had with the kernel
slab allocator for objects between PAGE_SIZE/2 and PAGE_SIZE. With the
kernel slab allocator, if a page compresses to 60% of it original size,
the memory savings gained through compression is lost in fragmentation
because another object of the same size can't be stored in the leftover
space.
This ability to span pages results in zsmalloc allocations not being
directly addressable by the user. The user is given an
non-dereferencable handle in response to an allocation request. That
handle must be mapped, using zs_map_object(), which returns a pointer to
the mapped region that can be used. The mapping is necessary since the
object data may reside in two different noncontigious pages.
The zsmalloc fulfills the allocation needs for zram perfectly

Now we have memblock_virt_alloc_low to replace original bootmem api in
swiotlb.
But we should not use BOOTMEM_LOW_LIMIT for arch that does not support
CONFIG_NOBOOTMEM, as old api take 0.
| #define alloc_bootmem_low(x) \
| __alloc_bootmem_low(x, SMP_CACHE_BYTES, 0)
|#define alloc_bootmem_low_pages_nopanic(x) \
| __alloc_bootmem_low_nopanic(x, PAGE_SIZE, 0)
and we have
#define BOOTMEM_LOW_LIMIT __pa(MAX_DMA_ADDRESS)
for CONFIG_NOBOOTMEM.
Restore goal to 0 to fix ia64 crash, that Tony found.
