* kexec: return -EFAULT on copy_to_user() failuresDan Carpenter2010-08-111-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | copy_to/from_user() returns the number of bytes remaining to be copied. It never returns a negative value. The correct return code is -EFAULT and not -EIO. All the callers check for non-zero returns so that's Ok, but the return code is passed to the user so we should fix this.

* lib/bug.c: make WARN implementation match the kernel/panic.c oneAnton Blanchard2010-08-111-4/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are a few issues with the exception based WARN implementation in lib/bug.c: - Inconsistent printk flags. The "cut here" line is printed at KERN_EMERG, so the console and all logged in users see the single line: ------------[ cut here ]------------ for each WARN. Fix this so we print everything at KERN_WARNING to match the kernel/panic.c version. - The lib/bug.c WARN would print "Badness at". Change it to match the kernel/panic.c version which prints "WARNING: at". - Print the list of modules, similar to kernel/panic.c of modules, similar to kernel/panic.c [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> Cc: "Kirill A.

* panic: keep blinking in spite of long spin timer modeTAMUKI Shoichi2010-08-115-68/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To keep panic_timeout accuracy when running under a hypervisor, the current implementation only spins on long time (1 second) calls to mdelay. That brings a good effect, but the problem is the keyboard LEDs don't blink at all on that situation. This patch changes to call to panic_blink_enter() between every mdelay and keeps blinking in spite of long spin timer mode. The time to call to mdelay is now 100ms. Even this change will keep panic_timeout accuracy enough when running under a hypervisor.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Architectures implement dma_is_consistent() in different ways (some misinterpret the definition of API in DMA-API.txt). So it hasn't been so useful for drivers. We have only one user of the API in tree. Unlikely out-of-tree drivers use the API. Even if we fix dma_is_consistent() in some architectures, it doesn't look useful at all. It was invented long ago for some old systems that can't allocate coherent memory at all. It's better to export only APIs that are definitely necessary for drivers. Let's remove this API.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This driver is the only user of dma_is_consistent(). We plan to remove this API. The driver uses the API in the following way: BUG_ON(!dma_is_consistent(hostdata->dev, pScript) && L1_CACHE_BYTES < dma_get_cache_alignment()); The above code tries to see if L1_CACHE_BYTES is greater than dma_get_cache_alignment() on sysmtes that can not allocate coherent memory (some old systems can't). James Bottomley exmplained that this is necesary because the driver packs the set of mailboxes into a single coherent area and separates the different usages by a L1 cache stride. So it's fatal if the dma He also pointed out that we can kill this checking because we don't hit this BUG_ON on all architectures that actually use the driver.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | dma_get_cache_alignment returns the minimum DMA alignment. Architectures defines it as ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN (formally ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN).

* dma-mapping: rename ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGNFUJITA Tomonori2010-08-1116-19/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now each architecture has the own dma_get_cache_alignment implementation. dma_get_cache_alignment returns the minimum DMA alignment. Architectures define it as ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN (it's used to make sure that malloc'ed buffer is DMA-safe; the buffer doesn't share a cache with the others). So we can unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations. This patch: dma_get_cache_alignment() needs to know if an architecture defines ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN or not (needs to know if architecture has DMA alignment restriction). However, slab.h define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN if architectures doesn't define it. Let's rename ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN. ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is used only in the internals of slab/slob/slub (except for crypto).

* pids: alloc_pidmap: remove the unnecessary boundary checksOleg Nesterov2010-08-111-10/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | alloc_pidmap() calculates max_scan so that if the initial offset != 0 we inspect the first map->page twice. This is correct, we want to find the unused bits < offset in this bitmap block. Add the comment. But it doesn't make any sense to stop the find_next_offset() loop when we are looking into this map->page for the second time. We have already already checked the bits >= offset during the first attempt, it is fine to do this again, no matter if we succeed this time or not. Remove this hard-to-understand code. It optimizes the very unlikely case when we are going to fail, but slows down the more likely case.

It also gives results that differ from the case when a signal is handled conventionally via a sigaction-registered handler. So, set signalfd_siginfo->ssi_int in the remaining cases (__SI_TIMER, __SI_MESGQ) where ssi_ptr is set. akpm: a non-back-compatible change.

* memcg: avoid css_get()KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2010-08-111-43/+76
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now, memory cgroup increments css(cgroup subsys state)'s reference count per a charged page. And the reference count is kept until the page is uncharged. But this has 2 bad effect. 1. Because css_get/put calls atomic_inc()/dec, heavy call of them on large smp will not scale well. 2. Because css's refcnt cannot be in a state as "ready-to-release", cgroup's notify_on_release handler can't work with memcg. 3. css's refcnt is atomic_t, it means smaller than 32bit. Maybe too small. This has been a problem since the 1st merge of memcg. This is a trial to remove css's refcnt per a page. Even if we remove refcnt, pre_destroy() does enough synchronization as - check res->usage == 0. - check no pages on LRU. This patch removes css's refcnt per page. Even after this patch, at the 1st look, it seems css_get() is still called in try_charge(). But the logic is. - If a memcg of mm->owner is cached one, consume_stock() will work. At success, return immediately. - If consume_stock returns false, css_get() is called and go to slow path which may be blocked. At the end of slow path, css_put() is called and restart from the start if necessary. So, in the fast path, we don't call css_get() and can avoid access to shared counter. This patch can make the most possible case fast. Here is a result of multi-threaded page fault benchmark.

This patch moves codes out from the loop and make it clear what's done. Summary: - refactoring a function to detect a memcg is under acccount move or not. - refactoring a function to wait for the end of moving task acct. - refactoring a main loop('s slow path) as a function and make it clear why we retry or quit by return code. - add fatal_signal_pending() check for bypassing charge loops.

* blkdev: cgroup whitelist permission fixChris Wright2010-08-111-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The cgroup device whitelist code gets confused when trying to grant permission to a disk partition that is not currently open. Part of blkdev_open() includes __blkdev_get() on the whole disk. Basically, the only ways to reliably allow a cgroup access to a partition on a block device when using the whitelist are to 1) also give it access to the whole block device or 2) make sure the partition is already open in a different context. The patch avoids the cgroup check for the whole disk case when opening a partition.
