[PATCH] reduce MAX_NR_ZONES: remove two strange uses of MAX_NR_ZONES

I keep seeing zones on various platforms that are never used and wonder why we
compile support for them into the kernel.  Counters show up for HIGHMEM and
DMA32 that are alway zero.

This patch allows the removal of ZONE_DMA32 for non x86_64 architectures and
it will get rid of ZONE_HIGHMEM for arches not using highmem (like 64 bit
architectures).  If an arch does not define CONFIG_HIGHMEM then ZONE_HIGHMEM
will not be defined.  Similarly if an arch does not define CONFIG_ZONE_DMA32
then ZONE_DMA32 will not be defined.

No current architecture uses all the 4 zones (DMA,DMA32,NORMAL,HIGH) that we
have now.  The patchset will reduce the number of zones for all platforms.

On many platforms that do not have DMA32 or HIGHMEM this will reduce the
number of zones by 50%.  F.e.  ia64 only uses DMA and NORMAL.

Large amounts of memory can be saved for larger systemss that may have a few
hundred NUMA nodes.

With ZONE_DMA32 and ZONE_HIGHMEM support optional MAX_NR_ZONES will be 2 for
many non i386 platforms and even for i386 without CONFIG_HIGHMEM set.

Tested on ia64, x86_64 and on i386 with and without highmem.

The patchset consists of 11 patches that are following this message.

One could go even further than this patchset and also make ZONE_DMA optional
because some platforms do not need a separate DMA zone and can do DMA to all
of memory.  This could reduce MAX_NR_ZONES to 1.  Such a patchset will
hopefully follow soon.

This patch:

Fix strange uses of MAX_NR_ZONES

Sometimes we use MAX_NR_ZONES - x to refer to a zone.  Make that explicit.

[PATCH] convert i386 NUMA KVA space to bootmem

Address a long standing issue of booting with an initrd on an i386 numa
system.  Currently (and always) the numa kva area is mapped into low memory
by finding the end of low memory and moving that mark down (thus creating
space for the kva).  The issue with this is that Grub loads initrds into
this similar space so when the kernel check the initrd it finds it outside
max_low_pfn and disables it (it thinks the initrd is not mapped into usable
memory) thus initrd enabled kernels can't boot i386 numa :(

My solution to the problem just converts the numa kva area to use the
bootmem allocator to save it's area (instead of moving the end of low
memory).  Using bootmem allows the kva area to be mapped into more diverse
addresses (not just the end of low memory) and enables the kva area to be
mapped below the initrd if present.

I have tested this patch on numaq(no initrd) and summit(initrd) i386 numa
based systems.

[PATCH] mm: tracking shared dirty pages

Tracking of dirty pages in shared writeable mmap()s.

The idea is simple: write protect clean shared writeable pages, catch the
write-fault, make writeable and set dirty.  On page write-back clean all the
PTE dirty bits and write protect them once again.

The implementation is a tad harder, mainly because the default
backing_dev_info capabilities were too loosely maintained.  Hence it is not
enough to test the backing_dev_info for cap_account_dirty.

The current heuristic is as follows, a VMA is eligible when:
 - its shared writeable
    (vm_flags & (VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED)) == (VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED)
 - it is not a 'special' mapping
    (vm_flags & (VM_PFNMAP|VM_INSERTPAGE)) == 0
 - the backing_dev_info is cap_account_dirty
    mapping_cap_account_dirty(vma->vm_file->f_mapping)
 - f_op->mmap() didn't change the default page protection

Page from remap_pfn_range() are explicitly excluded because their COW
semantics are already horrid enough (see vm_normal_page() in do_wp_page()) and
because they don't have a backing store anyway.

mprotect() is taught about the new behaviour as well.  However it overrides
the last condition.

Cleaning the pages on write-back is done with page_mkclean() a new rmap call.
It can be called on any page, but is currently only implemented for mapped
pages, if the page is found the be of a VMA that accounts dirty pages it will
also wrprotect the PTE.

Finally, in fs/buffers.c:try_to_free_buffers(); remove clear_page_dirty() from
under ->private_lock.  This seems to be safe, since ->private_lock is used to
serialize access to the buffers, not the page itself.  This is needed because
clear_page_dirty() will call into page_mkclean() and would thereby violate
locking order.

Give non-highmem architectures access to the kmap API for the purposes of

The proposal is that we should now require all architectures with coherence
issues to manage data coherence via the kmap/kunmap API.  Thus driver
writers never have to write code like

    kmap(page)
    modify data in page
    flush_kernel_dcache_page(page)
    kunmap(page)

instead, kmap/kunmap will manage the coherence and driver (and filesystem)
writers don't need to worry about how to flush between kmap and kunmap.

For most architectures, the page only needs to be flushed if it was
actually written to *and* there are user mappings of it, so the best
implementation looks to be: clear the page dirty pte bit in the kernel page
tables on kmap and on kunmap, check page->mappings for user maps, and then
the dirty bit, and only flush if it both has user mappings and is dirty.

Original commit code assumes, that when a buffer on BJ_SyncData list is

lead to a potential data loss on crash.  Also the code didn't count with
the fact that journal_dirty_data() can steal buffers from committing
transaction and hence could write buffers that no longer belong to the
committing transaction.  Finally it could possibly happen that we tried
writing out one buffer several times.

The patch below tries to solve these problems by a complete rewrite of the
data commit code.  We go through buffers on t_sync_datalist, lock buffers
needing write out and store them in an array.  Buffers are also immediately
refiled to BJ_Locked list or unfiled (if the write out is completed).  When
the array is full or we have to block on buffer lock, we submit all

[PATCH] Fix longstanding load balancing bug in the scheduler

The scheduler will stop load balancing if the most busy processor contains
processes pinned via processor affinity.

The scheduler currently only does one search for busiest cpu.  If it cannot
pull any tasks away from the busiest cpu because they were pinned then the
scheduler goes into a corner and sulks leaving the idle processors idle.

F.e.  If you have processor 0 busy running four tasks pinned via taskset,
there are none on processor 1 and one just started two processes on
processor 2 then the scheduler will not move one of the two processes away
from processor 2.

This patch fixes that issue by forcing the scheduler to come out of its
corner and retrying the load balancing by considering other processors for
load balancing.

This patch was originally developed by John Hawkes and discussed at

    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113901368523205&w=2.

I have removed extraneous material and gone back to equipping struct rq
with the cpu the queue is associated with since this makes the patch much
easier and it is likely that others in the future will have the same
difficulty of figuring out which processor owns which runqueue.

The overhead added through these patches is a single word on the stack if
the kernel is configured to support 32 cpus or less (32 bit).  For 32 bit
environments the maximum number of cpus that can be configued is 255 which
would result in the use of 32 bytes additional on the stack.  On IA64 up to
1k cpus can be configured which will result in the use of 128 additional
bytes on the stack.  The maximum additional cache footprint is one
cacheline.  Typically memory use will be much less than a cacheline and the
additional cpumask will be placed on the stack in a cacheline that already
contains other local variable.

[PATCH] VIDIOC_ENUMSTD bug

The v4l2 API documentation for VIDIOC_ENUMSTD says:

To enumerate all standards applications shall begin at index
zero, incrementing by one until the driver returns EINVAL.

The actual code, however, tests the index this way:

               if (index<=0 || index >= vfd->tvnormsize) {
                        ret=-EINVAL;

So any application which passes in index=0 gets EINVAL right off the bat
- and, in fact, this is what happens to mplayer.  So I think the

[PATCH] load_module: no BUG if module_subsys uninitialized

Invoking load_module() before param_sysfs_init() is called crashes in
mod_sysfs_setup(), since the kset in module_subsys is not initialized yet.

In my case, net-pf-1 is getting modprobed as a result of hotplug trying to
create a UNIX socket.  Calls to hotplug begin after the topology_init
initcall.

Another patch for the same symptom (module_subsys-initialize-earlier.patch)
moves param_sysfs_init() to the subsys initcalls, but this is still not
early enough in the boot process in some cases.  In particular,
topology_init() causes /sbin/hotplug to run, which requests net-pf-1 (the
UNIX socket protocol) which can be compiled as a module.  Moving
param_sysfs_init() to the postcore initcalls fixes this particular race,
but there might well be other cases where a usermodehelper causes a module
to load earlier still.

The patch makes load_module() return an error rather than crashing the
kernel if invoked before module_subsys is initialized.

But, unfortunately, some system (my system!) do not include

For such possible cpus, pxm<->nid should be fixed at

18 years agoremove RPM_BUILD_ROOT from asm-offsets.h
Olaf Hering [Wed, 26 Jul 2006 01:42:26 +0000 (18:42 -0700)]
remove RPM_BUILD_ROOT from asm-offsets.h

No file in rpm binary package should have the RPM_BUILD_ROOT string in it.
To simplify building of external modules, our kernel-source package
contains some temp files from the Kbuild system.  asm/asm-offsets.h is one
of the files that contains the absolute path if make O=$O is used.

  * This file was generated by /var/tmp/kernel-source-2.6.14_rc4-build/usr/src/linux-2.6.14-rc4-2/Kbuild

Remove the $RPM_BUILD_ROOT string in the shipped tempfile.

18 years agokbuild: add unifdef
Sam Ravnborg [Sun, 23 Jul 2006 18:39:59 +0000 (20:39 +0200)]
kbuild: add unifdef

This patch contains a raw copy of unifdef.c
Next patch will modify it and add infrastructure to use it
Adding unifdef to the kernel is acked by the author.

The reason to add unifdef as part of the kernel source is that it is not
yet a common utility on most distributions.
