2008-03-04memcg: remove mem_cgroup_unchargeHugh Dickins
Nothing uses mem_cgroup_uncharge apart from mem_cgroup_uncharge_page, (a trivial wrapper around it) and mem_cgroup_end_migration (which does the same as mem_cgroup_uncharge_page). And it often ends up having to lock just to let its caller unlock. Remove it (but leave the silly locking until a later patch). Moved mem_cgroup_cache_charge next to mem_cgroup_charge in memcontrol.h.

2008-03-04memcg: mem_cgroup_charge never NULLHugh Dickins
My memcgroup patch to fix hang with shmem/tmpfs added NULL page handling to mem_cgroup_charge_common. It seemed convenient at the time, but hard to justify now: there's a perfectly appropriate swappage to charge and uncharge instead, this is not on any hot path through shmem_getpage, and no performance hit was observed from the slight extra overhead. So revert that NULL page handling from mem_cgroup_charge_common; and make it clearer by bringing page_cgroup_assign_new_page_cgroup into its body - that was a helper I found more of a hindrance to understanding.

2008-03-04memcg: bad page if page_cgroup when freeHugh Dickins
Replace free_hot_cold_page's VM_BUG_ON(page_get_page_cgroup(page)) by a "Bad page state" and clear: most users don't have CONFIG_DEBUG_VM on, and if it were set here, it'd likely cause corruption when the page is reused. Don't use page_assign_page_cgroup to clear it: that should be private to memcontrol.c, and always called with the lock taken; and memmap_init_zone doesn't need it either - like page->mapping and other pointers throughout the kernel, Linux assumes pointers in zeroed structures are NULL pointers. Instead use page_reset_bad_cgroup, added to memcontrol.h for this only.

2008-03-04memcg: fix VM_BUG_ON from page migrationHugh Dickins
Page migration gave me free_hot_cold_page's VM_BUG_ON page->page_cgroup. remove_migration_pte was calling mem_cgroup_charge on the new page whenever it found a swap pte, before it had determined it to be a migration entry. That left a surplus reference count on the page_cgroup, so it was still attached when the page was later freed. Move that mem_cgroup_charge down to where we're sure it's a migration entry. We were already under i_mmap_lock or anon_vma->lock, so its GFP_KERNEL was already inappropriate: change that to GFP_ATOMIC. It's essential that remove_migration_pte removes all the migration entries, other crashes follow if not. So proceed even when the charge fails: normally it cannot, but after a mem_cgroup_force_empty it might - comment in the code.

2008-03-04memcg: when do_swap's do_wp_page failsHugh Dickins
Don't uncharge when do_swap_page's call to do_wp_page fails: the page which was charged for is there in the pagetable, and will be correctly uncharged when that area is unmapped - it was only its COWing which failed. And while we're here, remove earlier XXX comment: yes, OR in do_wp_page's return value (maybe VM_FAULT_WRITE) with do_swap_page's there; but if it fails, mask out success bits, which might confuse some arches e.g. sparc.

There's nothing wrong with mem_cgroup_charge failure in do_wp_page and do_anonymous page using __free_page, but it does look odd when nearby code uses page_cache_release: use that instead (while turning a blind eye to ancient inconsistencies of page_cache_release versus put_page).

2008-03-04CRIS: Import string.c (memcpy) from newlib: fixes compile error with gcc 4Jesper Nilsson
Adrian Bunk reported another compile error with a SVN head GCC: ... CC arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/string.o /home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/string.c:138: error: lvalue required as increment operand /home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/string.c:138: error: lvalue required as increment operand /home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/string.c:139: error: lvalue required as increment operand ... This is due to the use of the construct: *((long*)dst)++ = lc; Which isn't legal since casts don't return an lvalue. The solution is to import the implementation from newlib, which is continually autotested together with GCC mainline, and uses the construct: *(long *) dst = lc; dst += 4; Since this is an import of a file from newlib, I'm not touching the formatting or correcting any checkpatch errors. As for the earlier fix for memset.c, even if the two files for CRIS v10 and CRIS v32 are identical at the moment, it might be possible to tweak the CRIS v32 version. Thus, I'm not yet folding them into the same file, at least not until we've done some research on it.

2008-03-04alloc_percpu() fails to allocate percpu dataEric Dumazet
Some oprofile results obtained while using tbench on a 2x2 cpu machine were very surprising. For example, loopback_xmit() function was using high number of cpu cycles to perform the statistic updates, supposed to be real cheap since they use percpu data pcpu_lstats = netdev_priv(dev); lb_stats = per_cpu_ptr(pcpu_lstats, smp_processor_id()); lb_stats->packets++; /* HERE : serious contention */ lb_stats->bytes += skb->len; struct pcpu_lstats is a small structure containing two longs. It appears that on my 32bits platform, alloc_percpu(8) allocates a single cache line, instead of giving to each cpu a separate cache line. Using the following patch gave me impressive boost in various benchmarks ( 6 % in tbench) (all percpu_counters hit this bug too) Long term fix (ie >= 2.6.26) would be to let each CPU allocate their own block of memory, so that we dont need to roudup sizes to L1_CACHE_BYTES, or merging the SGI stuff of course... Note : SLUB vs SLAB is important here to *show* the improvement, since they dont have the same minimum allocation sizes (8 bytes vs 32 bytes). This could very well explain regressions some guys reported when they switched to SLUB.

Fix NULL pointer dereference in fsync_buffers_list() introduced by recent fix of races in private_list handling. Since bh->b_assoc_map has been cleared in __remove_assoc_queue() we should really use original value stored in the 'mapping' variable.

2008-03-04Fix "Malformed early option 'loglevel'"Alex Riesen
Keith Mannthey said: The parameter hotadd_percent is setup right but there is a "Malformed early option 'numa'" message. Rusty Russell said: This happens when the function registered with early_param() returns non-zero. __setup() functions return 1 if OK, module_param() and early_param() return 0 or a -ve error code.

2008-03-04gpio: <linux/gpio.h> and "no GPIO support here" stubsDavid Brownell
Add a <linux/gpio.h> defining fail/warn stubs for GPIO calls on platforms that don't support the GPIO programming interface. That includes the arch-specific implementation glue otherwise. This facilitates a new model for GPIO usage: drivers that can use GPIOs if they're available, but don't require them. One example of such a driver is NAND driver for various FreeScale chips. On platforms update with GPIO support, they can be used instead of a worst-case delay to verify that the BUSY signal is off. (Also includes a couple minor unrelated doc updates.)

2008-03-04CRIS v10: Include mm.h instead of vmstat.h in kernel/time.cJesper Nilsson
Commit 2f569afd9ced9ebec9a6eb3dbf6f83429be0a7b4 (CONFIG_HIGHPTE vs. sub-page page tables) introduced use of inc_zone_page_state and dec_zone_page_state in include/linux/mm.h. Those are defined in include/linux/vmstat.h, but after it includes mm.h, making it impossible to include vmstat.h since inc_zone_page_state and dec_zone_page_state then would be undefined. arch/cris/arch-v10/kernel/time.c does just this, which makes the CRIS v10 build break with the following error: ... CC arch/cris/arch-v10/kernel/time.o In file included from include/linux/vmstat.h:7, from arch/cris/arch-v10/kernel/time.c:17: include/linux/mm.h: In function 'pgtable_page_ctor': include/linux/mm.h:902: error: implicit declaration of function 'inc_zone_page_state' include/linux/mm.h: In function 'pgtable_page_dtor': include/linux/mm.h:908: error: implicit declaration of function 'dec_zone_page_state' make[2]: *** [arch/cris/arch-v10/kernel/time.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [arch/cris/arch-v10/kernel] Error 2 make: *** [sub-make] Error 2 ...
