The swsusp userland interface has recently changed for a couple of times, but the changes have not been documented. Fix this, and document the SNAPSHOT_SET_SWAP_AREA ioctl(). Signed-off-by:

To be able to use swap files as suspend storage from the userland suspend tools we need an additional ioctl() that will allow us to provide the kernel with both the swap header's offset and the identification of the resume partition. The new ioctl() should be regarded as a replacement for the SNAPSHOT_SET_SWAP_FILE ioctl() that from now on will be considered as obsolete, but has to stay for backwards compatibility of the interface.

Add the kernel command line parameter "resume_offset=" allowing us to specify the offset, in <PAGE_SIZE> units, from the beginning of the partition pointed to by the "resume=" parameter at which the swap header is located. This offset can be determined, for example, by an application using the FIBMAP ioctl to obtain the swap header's block number for given file.

Make swsusp use block device offsets instead of swap offsets to identify swap locations and make it use the same code paths for writing as well as for reading data. This allows us to use the same code for handling swap files and swap partitions and to simplify the code, eg. by dropping rw_swap_page_sync(). Signed-off-by:

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: -

Add an ioctl to the userspace swsusp code that enables the usage of the pmops->prepare, pmops->enter and pmops->finish methods (the in-kernel suspend knows these as "platform method"). These are needed on many machines to (among others) speed up resuming by letting the BIOS skip some steps or let my hp nx5000 recognise the correct ac_adapter state after resume again. It also ensures on many machines, that changed hardware (unplugged AC adapters) gets correctly detected and that kacpid does not run wild after resume. Signed-off-by:

While working on SH kprobes, I noticed that avr32 got the preemption handling wrong in the no probe case. The idea is that upon entry of kprobe_handler() preemption is disabled outright across the life of the kprobe, only to be re-enabled in post_kprobe_handler(). However, in the event that the probe is never activated, there's never any chance of hitting the post probe handler, which allows for the current avr32 implementation to disable preemption indefinitely, as it's currently missing a re-enable when no probe is activated.

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).

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. [akpm@osdl.org: cleanups] Signed-off-by:

Currently we simply attempt to allocate from all allowed nodes using GFP_THISNODE. However, GFP_THISNODE does not do reclaim (it wont do any at all if the recent GFP_THISNODE patch is accepted). If we truly run out of memory in the whole system then fallback_alloc may return NULL although memory may still be available if we would perform more thorough reclaim. This patch changes fallback_alloc() so that we first only inspect all the per node queues for available slabs. If we find any then we allocate from those. This avoids slab fragmentation by first getting rid of all partial allocated slabs on every node before allocating new memory. If we cannot satisfy the allocation from any per node queue then we extend a slab. We now call into the page allocator without specifying GFP_THISNODE. The page allocator will then implement its own fallback (in the given cpuset context), perform necessary reclaim (again considering not a single node but the whole set of allowed nodes) and then return pages for a new slab. We identify from which node the pages were allocated and then insert the pages into the corresponding per node structure. In order to do so we need to modify cache_grow() to take a parameter that specifies the new slab. kmem_getpages() can no longer set the GFP_THISNODE flag since we need to be able to use kmem_getpage to allocate from an arbitrary node. GFP_THISNODE needs to be specified when calling cache_grow(). One key advantage is that the decision from which node to allocate new memory is removed from slab fallback processing. The patch allows to go back to use of the page allocators fallback/reclaim logic. Signed-off-by:

The intent of GFP_THISNODE is to make sure that an allocation occurs on a particular node. If this is not possible then NULL needs to be returned so that the caller can choose what to do next on its own (the slab allocator depends on that). However, GFP_THISNODE currently triggers reclaim before returning a failure (GFP_THISNODE means GFP_NORETRY is set). If we have over allocated a node then we will currently do some reclaim before returning NULL. The caller may want memory from other nodes before reclaim should be triggered. (If the caller wants reclaim then he can directly use __GFP_THISNODE instead). There is no flag to avoid reclaim in the page allocator and adding yet another GFP_xx flag would be difficult given that we are out of available flags. So just compare and see if all bits for GFP_THISNODE (__GFP_THISNODE, __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOWARN) are set. If so then we return NULL before waking up kswapd. Signed-off-by:

This addresses two issues: 1. Kmalloc_node() may intermittently return NULL if we are allocating from the current node and are unable to obtain memory for the current node from the page allocator. This is because we call ___cache_alloc() if nodeid == numa_node_id() and ____cache_alloc is not able to fallback to other nodes. This was introduced in the 2.6.19 development cycle. <= 2.6.18 in that case does not do a restricted allocation and blindly trusts the page allocator to have given us memory from the indicated node. It inserts the page regardless of the node it came from into the queues for the current node. 2. If kmalloc_node() is used on a node that has not been bootstrapped yet then we may try to pass an invalid node number to ____cache_alloc_node() triggering a BUG(). Change the function to call fallback_alloc() instead. Only call fallback_alloc() if we are allowed to fallback at all. The need to handle a node not bootstrapped yet also first surfaced in the 2.6.19 cycle. Update the comments since they were still describing the old kmalloc_node from 2.6.12. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

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.
