* [PATCH] NOMMU: Provide shared-writable mmap support on ramfsDavid Howells2006-01-066-22/+378
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The attached patch makes ramfs support shared-writable mmaps by: (1) Attempting to perform a contiguous block allocation to the requested size when truncate attempts to increase the file from zero size, such as happens when: fd = shm_open("/file/on/ramfs", ...): ftruncate(fd, size_requested); addr = mmap(NULL, subsize, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC, MAP_SHARED, fd, offset); (2) Permitting any shared-writable mapping over any contiguous set of extant pages. get_unmapped_area() will return the address into the actual ramfs pages. The mapping may start anywhere and be of any size, but may not go over the end of file. Multiple mappings may overlap in any way. (3) Not permitting a file to be shrunk if it would truncate any shared mappings (private mappings are copied). Thus this patch provides support for POSIX shared memory on NOMMU kernels, with certain limitations such as there being a large enough block of pages available to support the allocation and it only working on directly mappable filesystems.

| | | | | | | | | | AFAIK IRQ number 0 is a perfectly valid IRQ number. But it seems there are numerous places where it's considered to be invalid or "no irq" value.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Several counters already have the need to use 64 atomic variables on 64 bit platforms (see mm_counter_t in sched.h). We have to do ugly ifdefs to fall back to 32 bit atomic on 32 bit platforms. The VM statistics patch that I am working on will also make more extensive use of atomic64. This patch introduces a new type atomic_long_t by providing definitions in asm-generic/atomic.h that works similar to the c "long" type. Its 32 bits on 32 bit platforms and 64 bits on 64 bit platforms. Also cleans up the determination of the mm_counter_t in sched.h.

* [PATCH] vmscan: balancing fixAndrew Morton2006-01-061-8/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Revert a patch which went into 2.6.8-rc1. The changelog for that patch was: The shrink_zone() logic can, under some circumstances, cause far too many pages to be reclaimed. Say, we're scanning at high priority and suddenly hit a large number of reclaimable pages on the LRU. Change things so we bale out when SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages have been reclaimed. Problem is, this change caused significant imbalance in inter-zone scan balancing by truncating scans of larger zones. Suppose, for example, ZONE_HIGHMEM is 10x the size of ZONE_NORMAL. The zone balancing algorithm would require that if we're scanning 100 pages of ZONE_HIGHMEM, we should scan 10 pages of ZONE_NORMAL. But this logic will cause the scanning of ZONE_HIGHMEM to bale out after only 32 pages are reclaimed. Thus effectively causing smaller zones to be scanned relatively harder than large ones. Now I need to remember what the workload was which caused me to write this patch originally, then fix it up in a different way...

* [PATCH] flatmem split out memory modelAndy Whitcroft2006-01-061-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are three places we define pfn_to_nid(). Two in linux/mmzone.h and one in asm/mmzone.h. These in essence represent the three memory models. The definition in linux/mmzone.h under !NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES is both the FLATMEM definition and the optimisation for single NUMA nodes; the one under SPARSEMEM is the NUMA sparsemem one; the one in asm/mmzone.h under DISCONTIGMEM is the discontigmem one. This is not in the least bit obvious, particularly the connection between the non-NUMA optimisations and the memory models. Two patches: flatmem-split-out-memory-model: simplifies the selection of pfn_to_nid() implementations. The selection is based primarily off the memory model selected. Optimisations for non-NUMA are applied where needed. sparse-provide-pfn_to_nid: implement pfn_to_nid() for SPARSEMEM This patch: pfn_to_nid is memory model specific The pfn_to_nid() call is memory model specific. It represents the locality identifier for the memory passed. Classically this would be a NUMA node, but not a chunk of memory under DISCONTIGMEM. The SPARSEMEM and FLATMEM memory model non-NUMA versions of pfn_to_nid() are folded together under NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES, while DISCONTIGMEM has its own optimisation. This is all very confusing. This patch splits out each implementation of pfn_to_nid() so that we can see them and the optimisations to each.

* [PATCH] Shut up warnings in ipc/shm.cRussell King2006-01-061-3/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix two warnings in ipc/shm.c ipc/shm.c:122: warning: statement with no effect ipc/shm.c:560: warning: statement with no effect by converting the macros to empty inline functions. For safety, let's do all three. This also has the advantage that typechecking gets performed even without CONFIG_SHMEM enabled.

* [PATCH] mm: remove arch independent NODES_SPAN_OTHER_NODESMike Kravetz2006-01-062-8/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The NODES_SPAN_OTHER_NODES config option was created so that DISCONTIGMEM could handle pSeries numa layouts. However, support for DISCONTIGMEM has been replaced by SPARSEMEM on powerpc. As a result, this config option and supporting code is no longer needed. I have already sent a patch to Paul that removes the option from powerpc specific code. This removes the arch independent piece. Doesn't really matter which is applied first.
