* [PATCH] ktime: Fix signed / unsigned mismatch in ktime_to_nsThomas Gleixner2006-12-071-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | The 32 bit implementation of ktime_to_ns returns unsigned value, while the 64 bit version correctly returns an signed value. There is no current user affected by this, but it has to be fixed, as ktime values can be negative.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is on our "Envoy" boxes which we have, according to the documentation, an "Exar ST16C554/554D Quad UART with 16-byte Fifo's". The box also has two other "on-board" serial ports and a modem chip. The two on-board serial UARTs were being detected along with the first two Exar UARTs. The last two Exar UARTs were not showing up and neither was the modem.

* [PATCH] swsusp: Improve handling of highmemRafael J. Wysocki2006-12-071-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently swsusp saves the contents of highmem pages by copying them to the normal zone which is quite inefficient (eg. it requires two normal pages to be used for saving one highmem page). This may be improved by using highmem for saving the contents of saveable highmem pages. Namely, during the suspend phase of the suspend-resume cycle we try to allocate as many free highmem pages as there are saveable highmem pages. If there are not enough highmem image pages to store the contents of all of the saveable highmem pages, some of them will be stored in the "normal" memory. Next, we allocate as many free "normal" pages as needed to store the (remaining) image data. We use a memory bitmap to mark the allocated free pages (ie. highmem as well as "normal" image pages). Now, we use another memory bitmap to mark all of the saveable pages (highmem as well as "normal") and the contents of the saveable pages are copied into the image pages. Then, the second bitmap is used to save the pfns corresponding to the saveable pages and the first one is used to save their data. During the resume phase the pfns of the pages that were saveable during the suspend are loaded from the image and used to mark the "unsafe" page frames. Next, we try to allocate as many free highmem page frames as to load all of the image data that had been in the highmem before the suspend and we allocate so many free "normal" page frames that the total number of allocated free pages (highmem and "normal") is equal to the size of the image. While doing this we have to make sure that there will be some extra free "normal" and "safe" page frames for two lists of PBEs constructed later. Now, the image data are loaded, if possible, into their "original" page frames. The image data that cannot be written into their "original" page frames are loaded into "safe" page frames and their "original" kernel virtual addresses, as well as the addresses of the "safe" pages containing their copies, are stored in one of two lists of PBEs. One list of PBEs is for the copies of "normal" suspend pages (ie. "normal" pages that were saveable during the suspend) and it is used in the same way as previously (ie. by the architecture-dependent parts of swsusp). The other list of PBEs is for the copies of highmem suspend pages. The pages in this list are restored (in a reversible way) right before the arch-dependent code is called. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* [PATCH] swsusp: use partition device and offset to identify swap areasRafael J. Wysocki2006-12-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Linux kernel handles swap files almost in the same way as it handles swap partitions and there are only two differences between these two types of swap areas: (1) swap files need not be contiguous, (2) the header of a swap file is not in the first block of the partition that holds it. From the swsusp's point of view (1) is not a problem, because it is already taken care of by the swap-handling code, but (2) has to be taken into consideration. In principle the location of a swap file's header may be determined with the help of appropriate filesystem driver. Unfortunately, however, it requires the filesystem holding the swap file to be mounted, and if this filesystem is journaled, it cannot be mounted during a resume from disk. For this reason we need some other means by which swap areas can be identified. For example, to identify a swap area we can use the partition that holds the area and the offset from the beginning of this partition at which the swap header is located. The following patch allows swsusp to identify swap areas this way. It changes swap_type_of() so that it takes an additional argument representing an offset of the swap header within the partition represented by its first argument. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* [PATCH] radix-tree: RCU lockless readsideNick Piggin2006-12-071-0/+101
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make radix tree lookups safe to be performed without locks. Readers are protected against nodes being deleted by using RCU based freeing. Readers are protected against new node insertion by using memory barriers to ensure the node itself will be properly written before it is visible in the radix tree. Each radix tree node keeps a record of their height (above leaf nodes). This height does not change after insertion -- when the radix tree is extended, higher nodes are only inserted in the top. So a lookup can take the pointer to what is *now* the root node, and traverse down it even if the tree is concurrently extended and this node becomes a subtree of a new root. "Direct" pointers (tree height of 0, where root->rnode points directly to the data item) are handled by using the low bit of the pointer to signal whether rnode is a direct pointer or a pointer to a radix tree node. When a reader wants to traverse the next branch, they will take a copy of the pointer. This pointer will be either NULL (and the branch is empty) or non-NULL (and will point to a valid node).

* [PATCH] mm: make compound page destructor handling explicitAndy Whitcroft2006-12-071-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we we use the lru head link of the second page of a compound page to hold its destructor. This was ok when it was purely an internal implmentation detail. However, hugetlbfs overrides this destructor violating the layering. Abstract this out as explicit calls, also introduce a type for the callback function allowing them to be type checked. For each callback we pre-declare the function, causing a type error on definition rather than on use elsewhere.

* [PATCH] silence unused pgdat warning from alloc_bootmem_node and friendsAndy Whitcroft2006-12-071-7/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | x86 NUMA systems only define bootmem for node 0. alloc_bootmem_node() and friends therefore ignore the passed pgdat and use NODE_DATA(0) in all cases. This leads to the following warnings as we are not using the passed parameter: .../mm/page_alloc.c: In function 'zone_wait_table_init': .../mm/page_alloc.c:2259: warning: unused variable 'pgdat' One option would be to define all variables used with these macros __attribute__ ((unused)), but this would leave us exposed should these become genuinely unused. The key here is that we _are_ using the value, we ignore it but that is a deliberate action. This patch adds a nested local variable within the alloc_bootmem_node helper to which the pgdat parameter is assigned making it 'used'. The nested local is marked __attribute__ ((unused)) to silence this same warning for it.

* [PATCH] numa node ids are int, page_to_nid and zone_to_nid should return intAndy Whitcroft2006-12-072-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | NUMA node ids are passed as either int or unsigned int almost exclusivly page_to_nid and zone_to_nid both return unsigned long. This is a throw back to when page_to_nid was a #define and was thus exposing the real type of the page flags field. In addition to fixing up the definitions of page_to_nid and zone_to_nid I audited the users of these functions identifying the following incorrect uses: 1) mm/page_alloc.c show_node() -- printk dumping the node id, 2) include/asm-ia64/pgalloc.h pgtable_quicklist_free() -- comparison against numa_node_id() which returns an int from cpu_to_node(), and 3) mm/mpolicy.c check_pte_range -- used as an index in node_isset which uses bit_set which in generic code takes an int.
