Final polish. There is no more save_flags/cli type locking left. We also no longer use the pcicopy function and file so they can go. Signed-off-by:

Third large chunk of code cleanup. The split between this and #3 and #4 is fairly arbitary and due to the message length limit on the list. These patches continue the process of ripping out macros and typedefs while cleaning up lots of 32bit assumptions. Several inlines for compatibility also get removed and that causes a lot of noise.

More header cleanups, strip out typedefs and remove cruft. There are a lot of magic macros that can go and also a great deal of abuse of volatile that is not needed any more as this patch set cleans up the misuse of pointer access to ISA and PCI space. It now builds cleanly on 64bit, although there is more work left to do Signed-off-by:

On architectures like i386, the "Multimedia Capabilities Port drivers" menu is visible, but it can't be visited since it contains nothing usable for !ARCH_SA1100. This patch therefore shows this menu only on ARCH_SA1100. Signed-off-by:

It appears that console_setup() code only gets compiled into the kernel if CONFIG_PRINTK is enabled. One detrimental side-effect of this is that serial8250_console_setup() never gets invoked when CONFIG_PRINTK is not set, resulting in baud rate not being read/parsed from command line (i.e. console=ttyS0,115200n8 is ignored, at least the baud rate part...) Attached patch moves console_setup() code from inside #ifdef CONFIG_PRINTK to outside (in printk.c), removing dependence on said config. option. Signed-off-by:

I today booted the first time my embedded device using Linux 2.6.15.2, which was booted by pxelinux, which then bootet itself from the nfsroot. This went pretty fine, but when I was reading through Documentation/nfsroot.txt I saw that there are some more modern versions available of loading the kernel and passing parameters. Signed-off-by:

msync() does a strange thing. Essentially: vma = find_vma(); for ( ; ; ) { if (!vma) return -ENOMEM; ... vma = vma->vm_next; } so an msync() request which starts within or before a valid VMA and which ends within or beyond the final VMA will incorrectly return -ENOMEM.

It seems bad to hold mmap_sem while performing synchronous disk I/O. Alter the msync(MS_SYNC) code so that the lock is released while we sync the file. Cc: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Cc: Nick Piggin <nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au> Signed-off-by:

Andrew Morton authored
It seems sensible to perform dirty page throttling in msync: as the application dirties pages we can kick off pdflush early, or even force the msync() caller to perform writeout, or even throttle the msync() caller. The main effect of this is to start disk writeback earlier if we've just discovered that a large amount of pagecache has been dirtied. (Otherwise it wouldn't happen for up to five seconds, next time pdflush wakes up). It also will cause the page-dirtying process to get panalised for dirtying those pages rather than whacking someone else with the problem. We should do this for munmap() and possibly even exit(), too. We drop the mmap_sem while performing the dirty page balancing. It doesn't seem right to hold mmap_sem for that long. Note that this patch only affects MS_ASYNC. MS_SYNC will be syncing all the dirty pages anyway. We note that msync(MS_SYNC) does a full-file-sync inside mmap_sem, and always has. We can fix that up... The patch also tightens up the mmap_sem coverage in sys_msync(): no point in taking it while we perform the incoming arg checking.

We need set_page_dirty() to return true if it actually transitioned the page from a clean to dirty state. This wasn't right in a couple of places. Do a kernel-wide audit, fix things up. This leaves open the possibility of returning a negative errno from set_page_dirty() sometime in the future. But we don't do that at present. Signed-off-by:

Instead of using for_each_cpu(i), we can use for_each_online_cpu(i). When a CPU goes offline (ie removed from online map), it might have a non null bh_accounting.nr, so this patch adds a transfer of this counter to an online CPU counter. We already have a hotcpu_notifier, (function buffer_cpu_notify()), where we can do this bh_accounting. Signed-off-by:

SUSv3 says the shmdt() function shall fail with EINVAL if the value of shmaddr is not the data segment start address of a shared memory segment: our sys_shmdt needs to reject a shmaddr which is not page-aligned. Does it have the potential to break existing apps? Hugh says "sys_shmdt() just does the wrong (unexpected) thing with a misaligned address: it'll fail on what you might expect it to succeed on, and only succeed on what it should definitely fail on. "That is, I think it behaves as if shmaddr gets rounded up, when the only understandable behaviour would be if it rounded it down. "Which does mean you'd have to be devious to see anything but EINVAL from a misaligned shmaddr there, so it's not terribly important." Signed-off-by:

Add two new linux-specific fadvise extensions(): LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE: start async writeout of any dirty pages between file offsets `offset' and `offset+len'. Any pages which are currently under writeout are skipped, whether or not they are dirty. LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT: wait upon writeout of any dirty pages between file offsets `offset' and `offset+len'. By combining these two operations the application may do several things: LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE: push some or all of the dirty pages at the disk. LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT, LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE: push all of the currently dirty pages at the disk. LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT, LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE, LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT: push all of the currently dirty pages at the disk, wait until they have been written. It should be noted that none of these operations write out the file's metadata. So unless the application is strictly performing overwrites of already-instantiated disk blocks, there are no guarantees here that the data will be available after a crash. To complete this suite of operations I guess we should have a "sync file metadata only" operation. This gives applications access to all the building blocks needed for all sorts of sync operations. But sync-metadata doesn't fit well with the fadvise() interface. Probably it should be a new syscall: sys_fmetadatasync(). The patch also diddles with the meaning of `endbyte' in sys_fadvise64_64(). It is made to represent that last affected byte in the file (ie: it is inclusive). Generally, all these byterange and pagerange functions are inclusive so we can easily represent EOF with -1. As Ulrich notes, these two functions are somewhat abusive of the fadvise() concept, which appears to be "set the future policy for this fd". But these commands are a perfect fit with the fadvise() impementation, and several of the existing fadvise() commands are synchronous and don't affect future policy either. I think we can live with the slight incongruity. Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk-manpages@gmx.net> Signed-off-by:

Remove a useless variable initialization in cpuset __cpuset_zone_allowed(). The local variable 'allowed' is unconditionally set before use, later on in the code, so does not need to be initialized. Not that it seems to matter to the code generated any, as the compiler optimizes out the superfluous assignment anyway. Signed-off-by:

The hook in the slab cache allocation path to handle cpuset memory spreading for tasks in cpusets with 'memory_spread_slab' enabled has a modest performance bug. The hook calls into the memory spreading handler alternate_node_alloc() if either of 'memory_spread_slab' or 'memory_spread_page' is enabled, even though the handler does nothing (albeit harmlessly) for the page case Fix - drop PF_SPREAD_PAGE from the set of flag bits that are used to trigger a call to alternate_node_alloc(). The page case is handled by separate hooks -- see the calls conditioned on cpuset_do_page_mem_spread() in mm/filemap.c Signed-off-by:
