[PATCH] zoneid: fix up calculations for ZONEID_PGSHIFT

Currently if we have a non-zero ZONES_SHIFT we assume we are able to rely
on that as the bottom edge of the ZONEID, if not then we use the
NODES_PGOFF as the right end of either NODES _or_ SECTION.  This latter is
more luck than judgement and would be incorrect if we reordered the
SECTION,NODE,ZONE options in the fields space.

Really what we want is the lower of the right hand end of the two fields we
are using (either NODE,ZONE or SECTION,ZONE).  Codify that explicitly.  As
always allow for there being no bits in either of the fields, such as might
be valid in a non-numa machine with only a zone NORMAL.

I have checked that the compiler is still able to constant fold all of this
away correctly.

Christoph Lameter [Sat, 10 Feb 2007 09:43:14 +0000 (01:43 -0800)]
[PATCH] Set CONFIG_ZONE_DMA for arches with GENERIC_ISA_DMA

As Andi pointed out: CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA only disables the ISA DMA
channel management.  Other functionality may still expect GFP_DMA to
provide memory below 16M.  So we need to make sure that CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is
set independent of CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA.  Undo the modifications to
mm/Kconfig where we made ZONE_DMA dependent on GENERIC_ISA_DMA and set
theses explicitly in each arches Kconfig.

Reviews must occur for each arch in order to determine if ZONE_DMA can be
switched off.  It can only be switched off if we know that all devices
supported by a platform are capable of performing DMA transfers to all of
memory (Some arches already support this: uml, avr32, sh sh64, parisc and
IA64/Altix).

In order to switch ZONE_DMA off conditionally, one would have to establish
a scheme by which one can assure that no drivers are enabled that are only
capable of doing I/O to a part of memory, or one needs to provide an
alternate means of performing an allocation from a specific range of memory
(like provided by alloc_pages_range()) and insure that all drivers use that
call.  In that case the arches alloc_dma_coherent() may need to be modified
to call alloc_pages_range() instead of relying on GFP_DMA.

CONFIG_ZONE_DMA can be defined in two ways depending on how an architecture

First if CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA is set by the arch then we know that the arch
needs ZONE_DMA because ISA DMA devices are supported.  We can catch this in
mm/Kconfig and do not need to modify arch code.

Second, arches may use ZONE_DMA in an unknown way.  We set CONFIG_ZONE_DMA for
all arches that do not set CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA in order to insure backwards

17 years ago[PATCH] optional ZONE_DMA: deal with cases of ZONE_DMA meaning the first zone
Christoph Lameter [Sat, 10 Feb 2007 09:43:07 +0000 (01:43 -0800)]
[PATCH] optional ZONE_DMA: deal with cases of ZONE_DMA meaning the first zone

This patchset follows up on the earlier work in Andrew's tree to reduce the
number of zones.  The patches allow to go to a minimum of 2 zones.  This one
allows also to make ZONE_DMA optional and therefore the number of zones can be
reduced to one.

ZONE_DMA is usually used for ISA DMA devices.  There are a number of reasons
why we would not want to have ZONE_DMA

1. Some arches do not need ZONE_DMA at all.

2. With the advent of IOMMUs DMA zones are no longer needed.
   The necessity of DMA zones may drastically be reduced
   in the future. This patchset allows a compilation of
   a kernel without that overhead.

3. Devices that require ISA DMA get rare these days. All
   my systems do not have any need for ISA DMA.

4. The presence of an additional zone unecessarily complicates
   VM operations because it must be scanned and balancing
   logic must operate on its.

5. With only ZONE_NORMAL one can reach the situation where
   we have only one zone. This will allow the unrolling of many
   loops in the VM and allows the optimization of varous
   code paths in the VM.

6. Having only a single zone in a NUMA system results in a
   1-1 correspondence between nodes and zones. Various additional
   optimizations to critical VM paths become possible.

Many systems today can operate just fine with a single zone.  If you look at
what is in ZONE_DMA then one usually sees that nothing uses it.  The DMA slabs
are empty (Some arches use ZONE_DMA instead of ZONE_NORMAL, then ZONE_NORMAL
will be empty instead).

On all of my systems (i386, x86_64, ia64) ZONE_DMA is completely empty.  Why
constantly look at an empty zone in /proc/zoneinfo and empty slab in
/proc/slabinfo?  Non i386 also frequently have no need for ZONE_DMA and zones
stay empty.

The patchset was tested on i386 (UP / SMP), x86_64 (UP, NUMA) and ia64 (NUMA).

The RFC posted earlier (see
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=115231723513008&w=2) had lots
of #ifdefs in them.  An effort has been made to minize the number of #ifdefs
and make this as compact as possible.  The job was made much easier by the
ongoing efforts of others to extract common arch specific functionality.

I have been running this for awhile now on my desktop and finally Linux is
using all my available RAM instead of leaving the 16MB in ZONE_DMA untouched:

This patch:

In two places in the VM we use ZONE_DMA to refer to the first zone.  If
ZONE_DMA is optional then other zones may be first.  So simply replace
ZONE_DMA with zone 0.

This also fixes ZONETABLE_PGSHIFT.  If we have only a single zone then
ZONES_PGSHIFT may become 0 because there is no need anymore to encode the zone
number related to a pgdat.  However, we still need a zonetable to index all
the zones for each node if this is a NUMA system.  Therefore define
ZONETABLE_SHIFT unconditionally as the offset of the ZONE field in page flags.

[PATCH] Use ZVC for inactive and active counts

The determination of the dirty ratio to determine writeback behavior is
currently based on the number of total pages on the system.

However, not all pages in the system may be dirtied.  Thus the ratio is always
too low and can never reach 100%.  The ratio may be particularly skewed if
large hugepage allocations, slab allocations or device driver buffers make
large sections of memory not available anymore.  In that case we may get into
a situation in which f.e.  the background writeback ratio of 40% cannot be
reached anymore which leads to undesired writeback behavior.

This patchset fixes that issue by determining the ratio based on the actual
pages that may potentially be dirty.  These are the pages on the active and
the inactive list plus free pages.

The problem with those counts has so far been that it is expensive to
calculate these because counts from multiple nodes and multiple zones will
have to be summed up.  This patchset makes these counters ZVC counters.  This
means that a current sum per zone, per node and for the whole system is always
available via global variables and not expensive anymore to calculate.

The patchset results in some other good side effects:

- Removal of the various functions that sum up free, active and inactive
  page counts

- Cleanup of the functions that display information via the proc filesystem.

This patch:

The use of a ZVC for nr_inactive and nr_active allows a simplification of some
counter operations.  More ZVC functionality is used for sums etc in the
following patches.

17 years agosata_nv: use ADMA for NODATA commands
Robert Hancock [Tue, 6 Feb 2007 00:26:02 +0000 (16:26 -0800)]
sata_nv: use ADMA for NODATA commands

Some problems showed up recently with cache flush commands timing out on
sata_nv.  Previously these commands were always handled by transitioning to
legacy mode from ADMA mode first.  The timeout problem was worked around
already by a change to the interrupt handling code for legacy mode, but for
non-data commands like these it appears we can handle them in ADMA mode, so
the switch to legacy mode is not needed.

This patch changes the behavior so that we use ADMA mode to submit
interrupt-driven commands with ATA_PROT_NODATA protocol.  In addition to
avoiding the problem mentioned above entirely, this avoids the overhead of
switching to legacy mode and back to ADMA mode for handling cache flushes.
When handling non-DMA-mapped commands, we leave the APRD blank and clear
the NV_CPB_CTL_APRD_VALID field in the CPB so the controller does not
attempt to read it.

17 years agosata_nv: cleanup ADMA error handling
Robert Hancock [Tue, 6 Feb 2007 00:26:01 +0000 (16:26 -0800)]
sata_nv: cleanup ADMA error handling

This cleans up a few issues with the error handling in sata_nv in ADMA mode
to make it more consistent with other NCQ-capable drivers like ahci and
sata_sil24:

- When a command failed, we would effectively set AC_ERR_DEV on the
  queued command always.  In the case of NCQ commands this prevents libata
  from doing a log page query to determine the details of the failed
  command, since it thinks we've already analyzed.  Just set flags in the
  port ehi->err_mask, then freeze or abort and let libata figure out what
  went wrong.

- The code handled NV_ADMA_STAT_CPBERR as a "really bad error" which
  caused it to set error flags on every queued command.  I don't know
  exactly what this flag means (no docs, grr!) but from what I can guess
  from the standard ADMA spec, it just means that one or more of the CPBs
  had an error, so we just need to go through and do our normal checks in
  this case.

- In the error_handler function the code would always dump the state of
  all the CPBs.  This output seems redundant at this point since libata
  already dumps the state of all active commands on errors (and it also
  triggers at times when it shouldn't, like when suspending).  Take this
  out.

libata: update libata LLDs to use devres

Update libata LLDs to use devres.  Core layer is already converted to
support managed LLDs.  This patch simplifies initialization and fixes
many resource related bugs in init failure and detach path.  For
example, all converted drivers now handle ata_device_add() failure
gracefully without excessive resource rollback code.

As most resources are released automatically on driver detach, many
drivers don't need or can do with much simpler ->{port|host}_stop().
In general, stop callbacks are need iff port or host needs to be given
commands to shut it down.  Note that freezing is enough in many cases
and ports are automatically frozen before being detached.

sata_promise: issue ATAPI commands as normal packets

reimplements sata_promise's ATAPI support to format ATAPI DMA
commands as normal packets, and to issue them via the hardware's
normal packet machinery.

It turns out that the only reason for issuing ATAPI DMA
commands via the pdc_issue_atapi_pkt_cmd() procedure was to
perform two interrupt-fiddling steps for ATA_DFLAG_CDB_INTR
devices. But these steps aren't needed because sata_promise
sets ATA_FLAG_PIO_POLLING, which disables DMA for those devices.
The remaining steps can easily be done in ATA taskfile packets.

Concrete changes:
- pdc_atapi_dma_pkt() is extended to program all packet setup
  steps, and not just contain the CDB; the sequence of steps
  exactly mirrors what pdc_issue_atapi_pkt_cmd() did
- pdc_atapi_dma_pkt() needed more parameters: simplify it by
  just passing 'qc' and having it extract the data it needs
- pdc_issue_atai_pkt_cmd() and its two helper procedures

SATAPI DMA works on second-generation chips, but on

- add ->check_atapi_dma() operation to enable DMA for bulk data
  transfers but force PIO for other ATAPI commands; this filter

controller.  As it is very different to the IT8211/2 it gets its own
driver.  There is a legacy drivers/ide driver also available and I'll post
that once I get time to test it all out (probably early January).  If

[PATCH] uclinux: correctly remap bin_fmtflat exe allocated mem regions

remap() the region we get from mmap() to mark the fact that we are
using all of the available slack space. Any slack space is used
to form a simple brk region, and potentially more stack space than
requested at load time.

Any searches of the vma chain may well fail looking for
stack (and especially arg) addresses if the remaping is not done.
The simplest example is /proc/<pid>/cmdline, since the args
are pretty much always at the top of the data/bss/stack region.
