* mm/vmalloc.c: clean up map_vm_area third argumentWANG Chao2014-08-061-5/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently map_vm_area() takes (struct page *** pages) as third argument, and after mapping, it moves (*pages) to point to (*pages + nr_mappped_pages). It looks like this kind of increment is useless to its caller these days. The callers don't care about the increments and actually they're trying to avoid this by passing another copy to map_vm_area(). The caller can always guarantee all the pages can be mapped into vm_area as specified in first argument and the caller only cares about whether map_vm_area() fails or not. This patch cleans up the pointer movement in map_vm_area() and updates its callers accordingly.

* virtio_ring: change host notification APIHeinz Graalfs2013-10-291-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently a host kick error is silently ignored and not reflected in the virtqueue of a particular virtio device. Changing the notify API for guest->host notification seems to be one prerequisite in order to be able to handle such errors in the context where the kick is triggered. This patch changes the notify API. The notify function must return a bool return value. It returns false if the host notification failed.

* lguest: clear cached last cpu when guest_set_pgd() called.Rusty Russell2013-05-081-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | commit v3.9-rc1-53-g6d0cda9 "lguest: cache last cpu we ran on." missed one case, which causes a triple fault. The guest calls guest_set_pgd() on the top page, and we carefully remap the Switcher text page. But we didn't reset last_host_cpu, so map_switcher_in_guest() thinks the guest's regs and IDT/GDT etc are already mapped.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We were cheating with our barriers; using the smp ones rather than the real device ones. That was fine, until rpmsg came along, which is used to talk to a real device (a non-SMP CPU). Unfortunately, just putting back the real barriers (reverting d57ed95d) causes a performance regression on virtio-pci. In particular, Amos reports netbench's TCP_RR over virtio_net CPU utilization increased up to 35% while throughput went down by up to 14%. By comparison, this branch is in the noise.

| * enable virtio_net to return bus_info in ethtool -i consistent with emulated NICsRick Jones2011-11-161-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new .bus_name to virtio_config_ops then modify virtio_net to call through to it in an ethtool .get_drvinfo routine to report bus_info in ethtool -i output which is consistent with other emulated NICs and the output of lspci.

* | x86: Fix rflags in FAKE_STACK_FRAMESeiichi Ikarashi2011-12-061-1/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The x86_64 kernel pushes the fake kernel stack in arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S:FAKE_STACK_FRAME, and rflags register in it does not conform to the specification. Although Intel's manual[1] says bit 1 of it shall be set to 1, this bit is cleared to 0 on pushing the fake stack. [1] Intel(R) 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual Vol.1 3-21 Figure 3-8. EFLAGS Register If it is not on purpose, it is better to be fixed, because it can lead some tools misunderstanding the stack frame. For example, "crash" utility[2] actually detects it and warns you like below: RIP: ffffffff8005dfa2 RSP: ffff8104ce0c7f58 RFLAGS: 00000200 [...] bt: WARNING: possibly bogus exception frame Signed-off-by: Seiichi Ikarashi <s.ikarashi@jp.fujitsu.com> Tested-by: Masayoshi MIZUMA <m.mizuma@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Jan Beulich <JBeulich@suse.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

* lguest: move process freezing before pending signals checkMichal Hocko2011-10-271-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | run_guest tries to freeze the current process after it has handled pending interrupts and before it calls lguest_arch_run_guest. This doesn't work nicely if the task has been killed while being frozen and when we want to handle that signal as soon as possible. Let's move try_to_freeze before we check for pending signal so that we can get out of the loop as soon as possible.

* lguest: Simplify device initialization.Rusty Russell2011-07-221-15/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We used to notify the Host every time we updated a device's status. However, it only really needs to know when we're resetting the device, or failed to initialize it, or when we've finished our feature negotiation. In particular, we used to wait for VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK in the status byte before starting the device service threads. But this corresponds to the successful finish of device initialization, which might (like virtio_blk's partition scanning) use the device. So we had a hack, if they used the device before we expected we started the threads anyway. Now we hook into the finalize_features hook in the Guest: at that point we tell the Launcher that it can rely on the features we have acked. On the Launcher side, we look at the status at that point, and start servicing the device. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
