mm: madvise allow remove operation for hugetlbfs

2015-09-08T22:35:28+00:00

Now that we have hole punching support for hugetlbfs, we can also
support the MADV_REMOVE interface to it.

mm/madvise.c: make madvise_behaviour_valid() return bool

2015-09-04T23:54:41+00:00

This makes the madvise_bahaviour_valid() function return bool due to
this particular function always returning the value of either one or
zero as its return value.

userfaultfd: teach vma_merge to merge across vma->vm_userfaultfd_ctx

2015-09-04T23:54:41+00:00

vma->vm_userfaultfd_ctx is yet another vma parameter that vma_merge
must be aware about so that we can merge vmas back like they were
originally before arming the userfaultfd on some memory range.

writeback: separate out include/linux/backing-dev-defs.h

2015-06-02T14:33:34+00:00

With the planned cgroup writeback support, backing-dev related
declarations will be more widely used across block and cgroup;
unfortunately, including backing-dev.h from include/linux/blkdev.h
makes cyclic include dependency quite likely.

This patch separates out backing-dev-defs.h which only has the
essential definitions and updates blkdev.h to include it.  c files
which need access to more backing-dev details now include
backing-dev.h directly.  This takes backing-dev.h off the common
include dependency chain making it a lot easier to use it across block
and cgroup.

v2: fs/fat build failure fixed.

vfs: remove get_xip_mem

2015-02-17T01:56:03+00:00

All callers of get_xip_mem() are now gone.  Remove checks for it,
initialisers of it, documentation of it and the only implementation of it.
 Also remove mm/filemap_xip.c as it is now empty.  Also remove
documentation of the long-gone get_xip_page().

Merge branch 'for-3.20/bdi' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2015-02-12T21:50:21+00:00

Pull backing device changes from Jens Axboe:
 "This contains a cleanup of how the backing device is handled, in
  preparation for a rework of the life time rules.  In this part, the
  most important change is to split the unrelated nommu mmap flags from
  it, but also removing a backing_dev_info pointer from the
  address_space (and inode), and a cleanup of other various minor bits.

  Christoph did all the work here, I just fixed an oops with pages that
  have a swap backing.  Arnd fixed a missing export, and Oleg killed the
  lustre backing_dev_info from staging.  Last patch was from Al,
  unexporting parts that are now no longer needed outside"

* 'for-3.20/bdi' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  Make super_blocks and sb_lock static
  mtd: export new mtd_mmap_capabilities
  fs: make inode_to_bdi() handle NULL inode
  staging/lustre/llite: get rid of backing_dev_info
  fs: remove default_backing_dev_info
  fs: don't reassign dirty inodes to default_backing_dev_info
  nfs: don't call bdi_unregister
  ceph: remove call to bdi_unregister
  fs: remove mapping->backing_dev_info
  fs: export inode_to_bdi and use it in favor of mapping->backing_dev_info
  nilfs2: set up s_bdi like the generic mount_bdev code
  block_dev: get bdev inode bdi directly from the block device
  block_dev: only write bdev inode on close
  fs: introduce f_op->mmap_capabilities for nommu mmap support
  fs: kill BDI_CAP_SWAP_BACKED
  fs: deduplicate noop_backing_dev_info

mm: drop support of non-linear mapping from unmap/zap codepath

2015-02-10T22:30:30+00:00

We have remap_file_pages(2) emulation in -mm tree for few release cycles
and we plan to have it mainline in v3.20. This patchset removes rest of
VM_NONLINEAR infrastructure.

Patches 1-8 take care about generic code. They are pretty
straight-forward and can be applied without other of patches.

Rest patches removes pte_file()-related stuff from architecture-specific
code. It usually frees up one bit in non-present pte. I've tried to reuse
that bit for swap offset, where I was able to figure out how to do that.

For obvious reason I cannot test all that arch-specific code and would
like to see acks from maintainers.

In total, remap_file_pages(2) required about 1.4K lines of not-so-trivial
kernel code. That's too much for functionality nobody uses.

This patch (of 38):

We don't create non-linear mappings anymore. Let's drop code which
handles them on unmap/zap.

fs: kill BDI_CAP_SWAP_BACKED

2015-01-20T21:02:56+00:00

This bdi flag isn't too useful - we can determine that a vma is backed by
either swap or shmem trivially in the caller.

This also allows removing the backing_dev_info instaces for swap and shmem
in favor of noop_backing_dev_info.

VFS: Rename do_fallocate() to vfs_fallocate()

2014-11-07T21:17:44+00:00

This function needs to be exported so it can be used by the NFSD module
when responding to the new ALLOCATE and DEALLOCATE operations in NFS
v4.2.  Christoph Hellwig suggested renaming the function to stay
consistent with how other vfs functions are named.
