pci-dma: add include/linux/pci-dma.h

This patch adds include/linux/pci-dma.h that defines the pci_unmap state
API:

DECLARE_PCI_UNMAP_ADDR(ADDR_NAME)
DECLARE_PCI_UNMAP_LEN(LEN_NAME)
pci_unmap_addr(PTR, ADDR_NAME)
pci_unmap_addr_set(PTR, ADDR_NAME, VAL)
pci_unmap_len(PTR, LEN_NAME)
pci_unmap_len_set(PTR, LEN_NAME, VAL)

This enables us to remove lots of the duplication in architecture
implementations since there are only two ways to define the API.

If architectures define CONFIG_NEED_DMA_MAP_STATE, they get the real
definition of pci_unmap state API.  If not, they get the noop definition.

In the long term, it's better to replace the API with the generic device
model API such as DECLARE_DMA_UNMAP_ADDR.  We can map the API to the
generic one (like dma-mapping-compat.h does).  This patch also makes the
migration process easier.  We can remove this file after the migration.

It might be simpler to add the API to include/linux/pci.h but looks it's
already too large.  We'll remove pci-dma.h after finishing moving to the
generic device model.  So I put the API to a separate file.

We could do a partial sync with the sync_sg API too, however, it's
difficult for driver writers to correctly use the sync_sg API for a
partial sync since the scatterlists passed in to the mapping API can't be
modified.  It's unlikely that driver writers want to do a partial sync
with the sync_sg API (because the sync_sg API are usually used for block

    e7320/7520/e7525 docs say register is 16bits wide, i3100 says 8.  I

Knowning which specific data or ECC line caused an error can be useful in
tracking down hardware issues such as improperly terminated signals, loose
pins, etc.

Note that this feature is only currently enabled for 64-bit wide data
buses, 32-bit wide bus support should be added.

I don't have any 32-bit wide systems to test on.  If someone has one and
is willing to give this patch a shot with the check for a 64-bit data bus

PTRACE_KILL and PTRACE_SINGLESTEP.  This implies defining
arch_has_single_step in <asm/ptrace.h> and implementing the
user_enable_single_step and user_disable_single_step functions, which also
causes the breakpoint information to be cleared on fork, which could be
considered a bug fix.

Also the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE thread flag is now cleared on PTRACE_KILL which
it previously wasn't, which is consistent with all architectures using the
modern ptrace code.

The old code only disables the breakpoints on PTRACE_KILL, while after
this patch this also happens for PTRACE_CONT and PTRACE_SYSCALL which
matches the behaviour of the other architetures.  I think this is a
bugfixes, but please double verify this is correct.

ptrace: move user_enable_single_step & co prototypes to linux/ptrace.h

While in theory user_enable_single_step/user_disable_single_step/
user_enable_blockstep could also be provided as an inline or macro there's
no good reason to do so, and having the prototype in one places keeps code
size and confusion down.

Roland said:

  The original thought there was that user_enable_single_step() et al
  might well be only an instruction or three on a sane machine (as if we
  have any of those!), and since there is only one call site inlining
  would be beneficial.  But I agree that there is no strong reason to care
  about inlining it.

  As to the arch changes, there is only one thought I'd add to the
  record.  It was always my thinking that for an arch where
  PTRACE_SINGLESTEP does text-modifying breakpoint insertion,
  user_enable_single_step() should not be provided.  That is,
  arch_has_single_step()=>true means that there is an arch facility with
  "pure" semantics that does not have any unexpected side effects.
  Inserting a breakpoint might do very unexpected strange things in
  multi-threaded situations.  Aside from that, it is a peculiar side
  effect that user_{enable,disable}_single_step() should cause COW
  de-sharing of text pages and so forth.  For PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, all these
  peculiarities are the status quo ante for that arch, so having
  arch_ptrace() itself do those is one thing.  But for building other
  things in the future, it is nicer to have a uniform "pure" semantics
  that arch-independent code can expect.

  OTOH, all such arch issues are really up to the arch maintainer.  As
  of today, there is nothing but ptrace using user_enable_single_step() et
  al so it's a distinction without a practical difference.  If/when there
  are other facilities that use user_enable_single_step() and might care,
  the affected arch's can revisit the question when someone cares about
  the quality of the arch support for said new facility.

memcg: fix oom kill behavior

In current page-fault code,

handle_mm_fault()
-> ...
-> mem_cgroup_charge()
-> map page or handle error.
-> check return code.

If page fault's return code is VM_FAULT_OOM, page_fault_out_of_memory() is
called.  But if it's caused by memcg, OOM should have been already
invoked.

Then, I added a patch: a636b327f731143ccc544b966cfd8de6cb6d72c6.  That
patch records last_oom_jiffies for memcg's sub-hierarchy and prevents
page_fault_out_of_memory from being invoked in near future.

But Nishimura-san reported that check by jiffies is not enough when the
system is terribly heavy.

This patch changes memcg's oom logic as.
 * If memcg causes OOM-kill, continue to retry.
 * remove jiffies check which is used now.
 * add memcg-oom-lock which works like perzone oom lock.
 * If current is killed(as a process), bypass charge.

Something more sophisticated can be added but this pactch does
fundamental things.
TODO:
 - add oom notifier
 - add permemcg disable-oom-kill flag and freezer at oom.
 - more chances for wake up oom waiter (when changing memory limit etc..)

It allows to register multiple memory and memsw thresholds and gets

To register a threshold application need:

- open memory.usage_in_bytes or memory.memsw.usage_in_bytes;
- write string like "<event_fd> <memory.usage_in_bytes> <threshold>" to

Application will be notified through eventfd when memory usage crosses
threshold in any direction.

It's applicable for root and non-root cgroup.

It uses stats to track memory usage, simmilar to soft limits. It checks
if we need to send event to userspace on every 100 page in/out. I guess
it's good compromise between performance and accuracy of thresholds.

- write "<event_fd> <control_fd> <args>" to cgroup.event_control.
  Interpretation of args is defined by control file implementation;

eventfd will be woken up by control file implementation or when the

14 years agomemcg: move charges of anonymous swap
Daisuke Nishimura [Wed, 10 Mar 2010 23:22:17 +0000 (15:22 -0800)]
memcg: move charges of anonymous swap

This patch is another core part of this move-charge-at-task-migration
feature.  It enables moving charges of anonymous swaps.

To move the charge of swap, we need to exchange swap_cgroup's record.

In current implementation, swap_cgroup's record is protected by:

  - page lock: if the entry is on swap cache.
  - swap_lock: if the entry is not on swap cache.

This works well in usual swap-in/out activity.

But this behavior make the feature of moving swap charge check many
conditions to exchange swap_cgroup's record safely.

So I changed modification of swap_cgroup's recored(swap_cgroup_record())
to use xchg, and define a new function to cmpxchg swap_cgroup's record.

This patch also enables moving charge of non pte_present but not uncharged
swap caches, which can be exist on swap-out path, by getting the target
pages via find_get_page() as do_mincore() does.

- removed css_get(&to->css) from __mem_cgroup_move_account() because callers
  should have already called css_get(). And removed css_put(&to->css) too,

14 years agocgroups: revamp subsys array
Ben Blum [Wed, 10 Mar 2010 23:22:07 +0000 (15:22 -0800)]
cgroups: revamp subsys array

This patch series provides the ability for cgroup subsystems to be
compiled as modules both within and outside the kernel tree.  This is
mainly useful for classifiers and subsystems that hook into components
that are already modules.  cls_cgroup and blkio-cgroup serve as the
example use cases for this feature.

It provides an interface cgroup_load_subsys() and cgroup_unload_subsys()
which modular subsystems can use to register and depart during runtime.
The net_cls classifier subsystem serves as the example for a subsystem
which can be converted into a module using these changes.

Patch #1 sets up the subsys[] array so its contents can be dynamic as
modules appear and (eventually) disappear.  Iterations over the array are
modified to handle when subsystems are absent, and the dynamic section of
the array is protected by cgroup_mutex.

Patch #2 implements an interface for modules to load subsystems, called
cgroup_load_subsys, similar to cgroup_init_subsys, and adds a module
pointer in struct cgroup_subsys.

Patch #3 adds a mechanism for unloading modular subsystems, which includes
a more advanced rework of the rudimentary reference counting introduced in
patch 2.

Patch #4 modifies the net_cls subsystem, which already had some module
declarations, to be configurable as a module, which also serves as a
simple proof-of-concept.

Part of implementing patches 2 and 4 involved updating css pointers in
each css_set when the module appears or leaves.  In doing this, it was
discovered that css_sets always remain linked to the dummy cgroup,
regardless of whether or not any subsystems are actually bound to it
(i.e., not mounted on an actual hierarchy).  The subsystem loading and
unloading code therefore should keep in mind the special cases where the
added subsystem is the only one in the dummy cgroup (and therefore all
css_sets need to be linked back into it) and where the removed subsys was
the only one in the dummy cgroup (and therefore all css_sets should be
unlinked from it) - however, as all css_sets always stay attached to the
dummy cgroup anyway, these cases are ignored.  Any fix that addresses this
issue should also make sure these cases are addressed in the subsystem
loading and unloading code.

This patch:

Make subsys[] able to be dynamically populated to support modular
subsystems

This patch reworks the way the subsys[] array is used so that subsystems
can register themselves after boot time, and enables the internals of
cgroups to be able to handle when subsystems are not present or may
appear/disappear.

broadsheetfb: support storing waveform

This patch adds waveform storing capability to broadsheetfb. It uses the
firmware class to retrieve the waveform, and the request to initiate the
waveform storing is done via a driver sysfs entry, loadstore_waveform.

Broadsheet is a framebuffer device.  It is slightly different from a
typical framebuffer controller that drives a normal TFT-LCD display.  Most
E-Ink display panels require a waveform in order to function.  That is, in
order to drive the state of a pixel to black, gray, or white, a specific
waveform is utilized.  Basically, that waveform represents the specific
E-field wiggling needed to get the pixel to its optimal state given
current temperature, and its previous state.  TN/IPS-LCDs use a similar
concept but the driving waveform is sufficiently simple that it is
internalized in the TFT source/gate driver.

These E-Ink waveforms are specific to a production batch.  That is, a
batch of display films are produced, then they get characterized and a
waveform is generated for that batch.  Broadsheet, typically, is attached
to its private SPI flash which is then flashed with this waveform.

Users won't be able to see the waveform and typically won't ever need to
know about it.  If however, the display panel attached to broadsheet is
changed out, then they will need to update their waveform.  That would
typically be done at a factory or repair facility rather than by a user.

For SAMM without dual fb this might break something as I really cannot
image what we are supposed to do for different resolutions with a single
framebuffer as we can't get data out of nowhere (no, they are not set up
in something one would call "expanded").  Previously I got for that funny
colored pictures as the second IGA pointed to video memory that was never
written to.  After the patch it'll work as cloning if the first and second
mode are identical (this was working already without SAMM).  Finally for
dual fb this should push us a step in the right direction.

14 years agoviafb: reorder initialization for dual framebuffer mode
Florian Tobias Schandinat [Wed, 10 Mar 2010 23:21:31 +0000 (15:21 -0800)]
viafb: reorder initialization for dual framebuffer mode

This patch reorders the initialization for dual framebuffer mode to not
ignore the settings for the first mode.  Previously they were overwritten
with the settings for the second one before they were applied.

This should have no effect on non dual framebuffer mode and do what the
user intended (initalization to desired modes) in dual framebuffer mode.
