* Move vmalloc_to_page() to mm/vmalloc.Christoph Lameter2008-02-051-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | We already have page table manipulation for vmalloc in vmalloc.c. Move the vmalloc_to_page() function there as well. Move the definitions for vmalloc related functions in mm.h to a newly created section. A better place would be vmalloc.h but mm.h is basic and may depend on these functions. An alternative would be to include vmalloc.h in mm.h (like done for vmstat.h).

* Pagecache zeroing: zero_user_segment, zero_user_segments and zero_userChristoph Lameter2008-02-051-18/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Simplify page cache zeroing of segments of pages through 3 functions zero_user_segments(page, start1, end1, start2, end2) Zeros two segments of the page. It takes the position where to start and end the zeroing which avoids length calculations and makes code clearer. zero_user_segment(page, start, end) Same for a single segment. zero_user(page, start, length) Length variant for the case where we know the length. We remove the zero_user_page macro. Issues: 1. Its a macro. Inline functions are preferable. 2. The KM_USER0 macro is only defined for HIGHMEM. Having to treat this special case everywhere makes the code needlessly complex. The parameter for zeroing is always KM_USER0 except in one single case that we open code. Avoiding KM_USER0 makes a lot of code not having to be dealing with the special casing for HIGHMEM anymore. Dealing with kmap is only necessary for HIGHMEM configurations. In those configurations we use KM_USER0 like we do for a series of other functions defined in highmem.h. Since KM_USER0 is depends on HIGHMEM the existing zero_user_page function could not be a macro. zero_user_* functions introduced here can be be inline because that constant is not used when these functions are called. Also extract the flushing of the caches to be outside of the kmap.

* gpiolib: pca9539 i2c gpio expander supporteric miao2008-02-051-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a new-style I2C driver with basic support for the sixteen bit PCA9539 GPIO expanders. These chips have multiple registers, push-pull output drivers, and (not supported in this patch) pin change interrupts. Board-specific code must provide "pca9539_platform_data" with each chip's "i2c_board_info". That provides the GPIO numbers to be used by that chip, and callbacks for board-specific setup/teardown logic. Derived from drivers/i2c/chips/pca9539.c (which has no current known users). This is faster and simpler; it uses 16-bit register access, and cache the OUTPUT and DIRECTION registers for fast access Signed-off-by: eric miao <eric.miao@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> Acked-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Cc: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Haavard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@atmel.com> Cc: Philipp Zabel <philipp.zabel@gmail.com> Cc: Russell King <rmk@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: Ben Gardner <bgardner@wabtec.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* gpiolib: pcf857x i2c gpio expander supportDavid Brownell2008-02-051-0/+45
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a new-style I2C driver for most common 8 and 16 bit I2C based "quasi-bidirectional" GPIO expanders: pcf8574 or pcf8575, and several compatible models (mostly faster, supporting I2C at up to 1 MHz). The driver exposes the GPIO signals using the platform-neutral GPIO programming interface, so they are easily accessed by other kernel code. The lack of such a flexible kernel API has been a big factor in the proliferation of board-specific drivers for these chips... stuff that rarely makes it upstream since it's so ugly. This driver will let such boards use standard calls. Since it's a new-style driver, these devices must be configured as part of board-specific init. That eliminates the need for error-prone manual configuration of module parameters, and makes compatibility with legacy drivers (pcf8574.c, pc8575.c) for these chips easier (there's a clear either/or disjunction).

* iommu sg merging: add device_dma_parameters structureFUJITA Tomonori2008-02-052-0/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | IOMMUs merges scatter/gather segments without considering a low level driver's restrictions. The problem is that IOMMUs can't access to the limitations because they are in request_queue. This patchset introduces a new structure, device_dma_parameters, including dma information. A pointer to device_dma_parameters is added to struct device. The bus specific structures (like pci_dev) includes device_dma_parameters. Low level drivers can use dma_set_max_seg_size to tell IOMMUs about the restrictions. We can move more dma stuff in struct device (like dma_mask) to struct device_dma_parameters later (needs some cleanups before that). This includes patches for all the IOMMUs that could merge sg (x86_64, ppc, IA64, alpha, sparc64, and parisc) though only the ppc patch was tested. The patches for other IOMMUs are only compile tested. This patch: Add a new structure, device_dma_parameters, including dma information. A pointer to device_dma_parameters is added to struct device. - there are only max_segment_size and segment_boundary_mask there but we'll move more dma stuff in struct device (like dma_mask) to struct device_dma_parameters later. segment_boundary_mask is not supported yet. - new accessors for the dma parameters are added. So we can easily change where to place struct device_dma_parameters in the future. - dma_get_max_seg_size returns 64K if dma_parms in struct device isn't set up properly. 64K is the default max_segment_size in the block layer.

* timerfd: new timerfd APIDavide Libenzi2008-02-053-9/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch: int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags); int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags, const struct itimerspec *utmr, struct itimerspec *otmr); int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr); The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd. The "clockid" parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME. The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not NULL). The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit is set in the "flags" parameter. Otherwise it's a relative time. The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or {0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet. Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are supported (with the same interface). Here's a simple test program I used to exercise the new timerfd APIs: http://www.xmailserver.org/timerfd-test2.c [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style cleanups] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix ia64 build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix m68k build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix mips build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix alpha, arm, blackfin, cris, m68k, s390, sparc and sparc64 builds] [heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com: fix s390] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix powerpc build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix sparc64 more] Signed-off-by: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk-manpages@gmx.net> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk-manpages@gmx.net> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

All signals (even fatal ones) sent in this window (which is not too small) will be lost. With this patch exec doesn't abuse SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT. signal_group_exit(), the new helper, should be used to detect exit_group() or exec() in progress. It can have more users, but this patch does only strictly necessary changes.

Here's my attempt. The device configuration tells the driver how much memory it should take from the guest (ie. balloon size). The guest feeds the page numbers it has taken via one virtqueue. A second virtqueue feeds the page numbers the driver wants back: if the device has the VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_MUST_TELL_HOST bit, then this queue is compulsory, otherwise it's advisory (and the guest can simply fault the pages back in). This driver can be enhanced later to deflate the balloon via a shrinker, oom callback or we could even go for a complete set of in-guest regulators.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As Avi pointed out, as we continue to massage the virtio PCI ABI, we can make things a little more friendly to users by utilizing the PCI revision field to indicate which version of the ABI we're using. This is a hard ABI version and incrementing it will cause the guest driver to break. This is the necessary changes to virtio_pci to support this.

So we remove the ->shutdown hook, and the only way we now remove feature bits is via reset. We leave it to the driver to do the reset before it deletes queues: the balloon driver, for example, needs to chat to the host in its remove function.

Having multiple bits is a pain: if you can't support something you should handle it in software, which is still a performance win. 2) Make VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_ECN a flag in the header, so it can apply to IPv6 or v4. 3) Rename VIRTIO_NET_F_NO_CSUM to VIRTIO_NET_F_CSUM (ie. means we do checksumming). 4) Add csum and gso params to virtio_net to allow more testing.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Various drivers want to know when their configuration information changes: the balloon driver is the immediate user, but the network driver may one day have a "carrier" status as well.

Since the assembler doesn't tolerate stuttering in the source that broke all MIPS builds. Since with this change Sam downgraded __INIT_REFOK to just a backward compat thing and there being only a single use in the MIPS arch code the best solution is to delete both of __INIT_REFOK and __INITDATA_REFOK (which was equally broken) being unused anyway these can be deleted.
