mm, page_alloc: rename __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM

2015-11-07T01:50:42+00:00

__GFP_WAIT was used to signal that the caller was in atomic context and could not sleep. Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic context and callers that are not willing to sleep. The latter should clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake. As clearing __GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the wrong flags. This patch renames __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM to clearly indicate what it does -- setting it allows all reclaim activity, clearing them prevents it.

block: add a bi_error field to struct bio

2015-07-29T14:55:15+00:00

Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO: (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds of error returns. So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

suspend: simplify block I/O handling

2015-05-19T15:19:59+00:00

Stop abusing struct page functionality and the swap end_io handler, and instead add a modified version of the blk-lib.c bio_batch helpers. Also move the block I/O code into swap.c as they are directly tied into each other.

PM / hibernate: Deletion of an unnecessary check before the function call "vfree"

2014-11-18T01:49:40+00:00

The vfree() function performs also input parameter validation. Thus the test around the call is not needed. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software. Signed-off-by: Markus Elfring Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

PM / Hibernate: Migrate to ktime_t

2014-11-03T00:02:55+00:00

This patch migrates swsusp_show_speed and its callers to using ktime_t instead of 'struct timeval' which suffers from the y2038 problem. Changes to swsusp_show_speed: - use ktime_t for start and stop times - pass start and stop times by value Calling functions affected: - load_image - load_image_lzo - save_image - save_image_lzo - hibernate_preallocate_memory Design decisions: - use ktime_t to preserve same granularity of reporting as before - use centisecs logic as before to avoid 'div by zero' issues caused by using seconds and nanoseconds directly - use monotonic time (ktime_get()) since we only care about elapsed time.

kernel: use macros from compiler.h instead of attribute((...))

2014-04-07T23:36:11+00:00

To increase compiler portability there is which provides convenience macros for various gcc constructs. Eg: __weak for __attribute__((weak)). I've replaced all instances of gcc attributes with the right macro in the kernel subsystem. Signed-off-by: Gideon Israel Dsouza Cc: "Rafael J.

PM / Hibernate: use rb_entry

2012-11-14T23:37:08+00:00

Since the software suspend extents are organized in an rbtree, use rb_entry instead of container_of, as it is semantically more appropriate in order to get a node as it is iterated. Signed-off-by: Davidlohr Bueso Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

PM / Hibernate: Print hibernation/thaw progress indicator one line at a time.

2012-07-01T11:31:23+00:00

With the introduction of suspend to both into in-kernel hibernation code, dmesg was getting polluted with backspace characters printed as part of image saving progress indicator. This patch introduces printing of progress indicator on image save/load every 10% and one line at a time. As an additional benefit, all other messages emitted by the kernel during hibernation/thaw should now print cleanly as well. Signed-off-by: Bojan Smojver Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

PM / Hibernate: Enable suspend to both for in-kernel hibernation.

2012-07-01T11:31:22+00:00

It is often useful to suspend to memory after hibernation image has been written to disk. If the battery runs out or power is otherwise lost, the computer will resume from the hibernated image. If not, it will resume from memory and hibernation image will be discarded. Signed-off-by: Bojan Smojver Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki
