swapin_readahead has never sat well in mm/memory.c: move it to mm/swap_state.c beside its kindred read_swap_cache_async. Why were its args in a different order? rearrange them. And since it was always followed by a read_swap_cache_async of the target page, fold that in and return struct page*. Then CONFIG_SWAP=n no longer needs valid_swaphandles and read_swap_cache_async stubs. Signed-off-by:

For three years swapin_readahead has been cluttered with fanciful CONFIG_NUMA code, advancing addr, and stepping on to the next vma at the boundary, to line up the mempolicy for each page allocation. It _might_ be a good idea to allocate swap more according to vma layout; but the fact is, that's not how we do it at all, 2.6 even less than 2.4: swap is allocated as needed for pages as they sink to the bottom of the inactive LRUs. Sometimes that may match vma layout, but not so often that it's worth going to these misleading vma->vm_next lengths: rip all that out. Originally I intended to retain the incrementation of addr, but correct its initial value: valid_swaphandles generally supplies an offset below the target addr (this is readaround rather than readahead), but addr has not been adjusted accordingly, so in the interleave case it has usually been allocating the target page from the "wrong" node (though that may not matter very much). But look at the equivalent shmem_swapin code: either by oversight or by design, though it has all the apparatus for choosing a new mempolicy per page, it uses the same idx throughout, choosing the same mempolicy and interleave node for each page of the cluster. Which is actually a much better strategy: each node has its own LRUs and its own kswapd, so if you're betting on any particular relationship between swap and node, the best bet is that nearby swap entries belong to pages from the same node - even when the mempolicy of the target page is to interleave. And examining a map of nodes corresponding to swap entries on a numa=fake system bears this out. (We could later tweak swap allocation to make it even more likely, but this patch is merely about removing cruft.) So, neither adjust nor increment addr in swapin_readahead, and then shmem_swapin can use it too; the pseudo-vma to pass policy need only be set up once per cluster, and so few fields of pvma are used, let's skip the memset - from shmem_alloc_page also.

Allow sticky directory mount option for hugetlbfs. This allows admin to create a shared hugetlbfs mount point for multiple users, while prevent accidental file deletion that users may step on each other. It is similiar to default tmpfs mount option, or typical option used on /tmp. Signed-off-by:

The constructor for buffer_head slabs was removed recently. We need the constructor back in slab defrag in order to insure that slab objects always have a definite state even before we allocated them. I think we mistakenly merged the removal of the constuctor into a cleanup patch. You (ie: akpm) had a test that showed that the removal of the constructor led to a small regression. The prior state makes things easier for slab defrag. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by:

Checking if an address is a vmalloc address is done in a couple of places. Define a common version in mm.h and replace the other checks. Again the include structures suck. The definition of VMALLOC_START and VMALLOC_END is not available in vmalloc.h since highmem.c cannot be included there. Signed-off-by:

pgtable.h does not include highmem.h but uses various constants from highmem.h. We cannot include highmem.h because highmem.h will in turn include many other include files that also depend on pgtable.h So move the definitions from highmem.h into pgtable.h.

We already have page table manipulation for vmalloc in vmalloc.c. Move the vmalloc_to_page() function there as well. Move the definitions for vmalloc related functions in mm.h to a newly created section. A better place would be vmalloc.h but mm.h is basic and may depend on these functions. An alternative would be to include vmalloc.h in mm.h (like done for vmstat.h). Signed-off-by:

Simplify page cache zeroing of segments of pages through 3 functions zero_user_segments(page, start1, end1, start2, end2) Zeros two segments of the page. It takes the position where to start and end the zeroing which avoids length calculations and makes code clearer. zero_user_segment(page, start, end) Same for a single segment. zero_user(page, start, length) Length variant for the case where we know the length. We remove the zero_user_page macro. Issues: 1. Its a macro. Inline functions are preferable. 2. The KM_USER0 macro is only defined for HIGHMEM. Having to treat this special case everywhere makes the code needlessly complex. The parameter for zeroing is always KM_USER0 except in one single case that we open code. Avoiding KM_USER0 makes a lot of code not having to be dealing with the special casing for HIGHMEM anymore. Dealing with kmap is only necessary for HIGHMEM configurations. In those configurations we use KM_USER0 like we do for a series of other functions defined in highmem.h. Since KM_USER0 is depends on HIGHMEM the existing zero_user_page function could not be a macro. zero_user_* functions introduced here can be be inline because that constant is not used when these functions are called. Also extract the flushing of the caches to be outside of the kmap. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix nfs and ntfs build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix ntfs build some more] Signed-off-by: -

Teach AVR32 to use the "GPIO Library" when exposing its GPIOs, so that signals on external chips (like GPIO expanders) can easily be used. This mostly reorganizes some existing logic, with two minor changes in behavior: - The PSR registers are used instead of the previous "gpio_mask" values, matching AT91 behavior and removing some duplication between that role and that of "pinmux_mask". - NR_IRQs grew to acommodate a bank of external GPIOs. Eventually this number should probably become a board-specific config option. There's a debugfs dump of status for the built-in GPIOs, showing which pins have deglitching, pullups, or open drain drive enabled, as well as the ID string used when requesting each IRQ.

This adds a new-style I2C driver with basic support for the sixteen bit PCA9539 GPIO expanders. These chips have multiple registers, push-pull output drivers, and (not supported in this patch) pin change interrupts. Board-specific code must provide "pca9539_platform_data" with each chip's "i2c_board_info". That provides the GPIO numbers to be used by that chip, and callbacks for board-specific setup/teardown logic. Derived from drivers/i2c/chips/pca9539.c (which has no current known users). This is faster and simpler; it uses 16-bit register access, and cache the OUTPUT and DIRECTION registers for fast access Signed-off-by:

David Brownell authored
This is a new-style I2C driver for most common 8 and 16 bit I2C based "quasi-bidirectional" GPIO expanders: pcf8574 or pcf8575, and several compatible models (mostly faster, supporting I2C at up to 1 MHz). The driver exposes the GPIO signals using the platform-neutral GPIO programming interface, so they are easily accessed by other kernel code. The lack of such a flexible kernel API has been a big factor in the proliferation of board-specific drivers for these chips... stuff that rarely makes it upstream since it's so ugly. This driver will let such boards use standard calls. Since it's a new-style driver, these devices must be configured as part of board-specific init. That eliminates the need for error-prone manual configuration of module parameters, and makes compatibility with legacy drivers (pcf8574.c, pc8575.c) for these chips easier (there's a clear either/or disjunction).

Update Documentation/gpio.txt, primarily to include the new "gpiolib" infrastructure. Signed-off-by:
-
David Brownell authored
Provide new implementation infrastructure that platforms may choose to use when implementing the GPIO programming interface. Platforms can update their GPIO support to use this. In many cases the incremental cost to access a non-inlined GPIO should be less than a dozen instructions, with the memory cost being about a page (total) of extra data and code. The upside is: * Providing two features which were "want to have (but OK to defer)" when GPIO interfaces were first discussed in November 2006: - A "struct gpio_chip" to plug in GPIOs that aren't directly supported by SOC platforms, but come from FPGAs or other multifunction devices using conventional device registers (like UCB-1x00 or SM501 GPIOs, and southbridges in PCs with more open specs than usual). - Full support for message-based GPIO expanders, where registers are accessed through sleeping I/O calls. Previous support for these "cansleep" calls was just stubs. (One example: the widely used pcf8574 I2C chips, with 8 GPIOs each.) * Including a non-stub implementation of the gpio_{request,free}() calls, making those calls much more useful. The diagnostic labels are also recorded given DEBUG_FS, so /sys/kernel/debug/gpio can show a snapshot of all GPIOs known to this infrastructure. The driver programming interfaces introduced in 2.6.21 do not change at all; this infrastructure is entirely below those covers. Signed-off-by: -

Add an empty drivers/gpio directory for gpiolib infrastructure and GPIO expanders. It will be populated by later patches. This won't be the only place to hold such gpio_chip code. Many external chips add a few GPIOs as secondary functionality (such as MFD drivers) and platform code frequently needs to closely integrate GPIO and IRQ support. This is placed *early* in the build/link sequence since it's common for other drivers to depend on GPIOs to do their work, so they must be initialized early in the device_initcall() sequence.

This is a one-line patch to add the following to __scsi_alloc_queue(): dma_set_seg_boundary(dev, shost->dma_boundary); This is the simplest approach but the result looks odd, __scsi_alloc_queue() does: blk_queue_segment_boundary(q, shost->dma_boundary); dma_set_seg_boundary(dev, shost->dma_boundary); blk_queue_max_segment_size(q, dma_get_max_seg_size(dev)); I think that it would be better to set up segment boundary in the same way as we did for the maximum segment size. That is, removing shost->dma_boundary and LLDs call pci_set_dma_seg_boundary (or its friends). Then __scsi_alloc_queue() can set up both limits in the same way: blk_queue_segment_boundary(q, dma_get_seg_boundary(dev)); blk_queue_max_segment_size(q, dma_get_max_seg_size(dev)); killing dma_boundary in scsi_host_template needs a large patch for libata (dma_boundary is used by only libata and sym53c8xx). I'll send a patch to do that if it is acceptable. James and Jeff? Signed-off-by:

This adds new accessors for segment_boundary_mask in device_dma_parameters structure in the same way I did for max_segment_size. So we can easily change where to place struct device_dma_parameters in the future. dma_get_segment boundary returns 0xffffffff if dma_parms in struct device isn't set up properly. 0xffffffff is the default value used in the block layer and the scsi mid layer.

Previously, during initialization of the IOMMU tables, the last entry at each 4GB boundary is marked as used since there are many adapters which cannot handle DMAing across any 4GB boundary. The IOMMU doesn't allocate a memory area spanning LLD's segment boundary anymore. The segment boundary of devices are set to 4GB by default. So we can remove 4GB boundary protection now.

request_queue and device struct must have the same value of a segment size limit. This patch adds blk_queue_segment_boundary in __scsi_alloc_queue so LLDs don't need to call both blk_queue_segment_boundary and set_dma_max_seg_size. A LLD can change the default value (64KB) can call device_dma_parameters accessors like pci_set_dma_max_seg_size when allocating scsi_host. Signed-off-by:
