task_cgroup_path_from_hierarchy() was added for the planned new users and none of the currently planned users wants to know about multiple hierarchies. This patch drops the multiple hierarchy part and makes it always return the path in the first non-dummy hierarchy. As unified hierarchy will always have id 1, this is guaranteed to return the path for the unified hierarchy if mounted; otherwise, it will return the path from the hierarchy which happens to occupy the lowest hierarchy id, which will usually be the first hierarchy mounted after boot.

cafe5635 ("bcache: A block layer cache") added a new cgroup subsystem bcache_subsys without proper review and ack. bcache_subsys seems to use cgroup for group stats and per-group cache_mode configuration. This is very much the type of usage that we don't want to allow. Fortunately, CONFIG_CGROUP_BCACHE which enables bcache_subsys is currently commented out, so this shouldn't have any upstream users. Let's nip in the bud. While at it, clarify in cgroup_subsys.h that no new subsystem should be added without explicit acks from cgroup maintainers. Signed-off-by:

do_device_access() is a function that abstracts copying SG list from/to ramdisk storage (fake_storep). It must deal with the ranges exceeding actual fake_storep size, because such ranges are valid if virtual_gb is set greater than zero, and they should be treated as fake_storep is repeatedly mirrored up to virtual size. Unfortunately, it can't deal with the range which wraps around the end of fake_storep. A wrap around range is copied by two sg_copy_{from,to}_buffer() calls, but sg_copy_{from,to}_buffer() can't copy from/to in the middle of SG list, therefore the second call can't copy correctly. This fixes it by using sg_pcopy_{from,to}_buffer() that can copy from/to the middle of SG list. This also simplifies the assignment of sdb->resid in fill_from_dev_buffer(). Because fill_from_dev_buffer() is now only called once per command execution cycle. So it is not necessary to take care to decrease sdb->resid if fill_from_dev_buffer() is called more than once.

This patchset introduces sg_pcopy_from_buffer() and sg_pcopy_to_buffer(), which copy data between a linear buffer and an SG list. The only difference between sg_pcopy_{from,to}_buffer() and sg_copy_{from,to}_buffer() is an additional argument that specifies the number of bytes to skip the SG list before copying. The main reason for introducing these functions is to fix a problem in scsi_debug module. And there is a local function in crypto/talitos module, which can be replaced by sg_pcopy_to_buffer(). This patch: sg_miter_get_next_page() is used to proceed page iterator to the next page if necessary, and will be used to implement the variants of sg_copy_{from,to}_buffer() later. Signed-off-by: -

This patchset is for supporting LZ4 compression and the crypto API using it. As shown below, the size of data is a little bit bigger but compressing speed is faster under the enabled unaligned memory access. We can use lz4 de/compression through crypto API as well.

Add support for LZ4 decompression in the Linux Kernel. LZ4 Decompression APIs for kernel are based on LZ4 implementation by Yann Collet. Benchmark Results(PATCH v3) Compiler: Linaro ARM gcc 4.6.2 1. ARMv7, 1.5GHz based board Kernel: linux 3.4 Uncompressed Kernel Size: 14MB Compressed Size Decompression Speed LZO 6.7MB 20.1MB/s, 25.2MB/s(UA) LZ4 7.3MB 29.1MB/s, 45.6MB/s(UA) 2.

LZ4 is a very fast lossless compression algorithm and it also features an extremely fast decoder [1]. But we have five of decompressors already and one question which does arise, however, is that of where do we stop adding new ones? This issue had been discussed and came to the conclusion [2]. Russell King said that we should have: - one decompressor which is the fastest - one decompressor for the highest compression ratio - one popular decompressor (eg conventional gzip) If we have a replacement one for one of these, then it should do exactly that: replace it. The benchmark shows that an 8% increase in image size vs a 66% increase in decompression speed compared to LZO(which has been known as the fastest decompressor in the Kernel). Therefore the "fast but may not be small" compression title has clearly been taken by LZ4 [3].

Some architectures need __c[lt]z[sd]i2() for __builtin_c[lt]z[ll] and that causes a build failure. They can be implemented using the fls()/__ffs() and overridden by linking arch-specific versions may not be implemented yet. This is required by "lib: add lz4 compressor module".

Graft AIX partitions enumeration into partitions/msdos.c There is already a AIX disks detection logic in msdos.c. When an AIX disk has been found, and if configured to, call the aix partitions recognizer. This avoids removal of AIX disks protection from msdos.c, avoids code duplication, and ensures that AIX partitions enumeration is called before plain msdos partitions enumeration. Signed-off-by:

Add partitions/aix.h and partitions/aix.c. AIX LVM permits to make "logical volumes" which are made of multiple slices of multiple disks. The new code allows only access to the "logical volumes" which are made of one slice on the probed disk, a slice being a contiguous disk area. The code also detects "logical volumes" made of multiple slices on the probed disk, but can not describe them to the partition layer, because the partition layer generic code does not support that. When such non-contiguous "logical volumes" are detected, a diagnostic message is printed. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by:

Cleanup: Some minor points that I noticed while writing the previous patches 1) The name try_atomic_semop() is misleading: The function performs the operation (if it is possible). 2) Some documentation updates. No real code change, a rename and documentation changes. Signed-off-by:

sem_otime contains the time of the last semaphore operation that completed successfully. Every operation updates this value, thus access from multiple cpus can cause thrashing. Therefore the patch replaces the variable with a per-semaphore variable. The per-array sem_otime is only calculated when required. No performance improvement on a single-socket i3 - only important for larger systems. Signed-off-by:

There are two places that can contain alter operations: - the global queue: sma->pending_alter - the per-semaphore queues: sma->sem_base[].pending_alter. Since one of the queues must be processed first, this causes an odd priorization of the wakeups: complex operations have priority over simple ops. The patch restores the behavior of linux <=3.0.9: The longest waiting operation has the highest priority. This is done by using only one queue: - if there are complex ops, then sma->pending_alter is used. - otherwise, the per-semaphore queues are used. As a side effect, do_smart_update_queue() becomes much simpler: no more goto logic. Signed-off-by:

Introduce separate queues for operations that do not modify the semaphore values. Advantages: - Simpler logic in check_restart(). - Faster update_queue(): Right now, all wait-for-zero operations are always tested, even if the semaphore value is not 0. - wait-for-zero gets again priority, as in linux <=3.0.9 Signed-off-by:
