Introduce a node_zonelist() helper function. It is used to lookup the appropriate zonelist given a node and a GFP mask. The patch on its own is a cleanup but it helps clarify parts of the two-zonelist-per-node patchset. If necessary, it can be merged with the next patch in this set without problems. Reviewed-by:

Mel Gorman authored
The following patches replace multiple zonelists per node with two zonelists that are filtered based on the GFP flags. The patches as a set fix a bug with regard to the use of MPOL_BIND and ZONE_MOVABLE. With this patchset, the MPOL_BIND will apply to the two highest zones when the highest zone is ZONE_MOVABLE. This should be considered as an alternative fix for the MPOL_BIND+ZONE_MOVABLE in 2.6.23 to the previously discussed hack that filters only custom zonelists. The first patch cleans up an inconsistency where direct reclaim uses zonelist->zones where other places use zonelist. The second patch introduces a helper function node_zonelist() for looking up the appropriate zonelist for a GFP mask which simplifies patches later in the set. The third patch defines/remembers the "preferred zone" for numa statistics, as it is no longer always the first zone in a zonelist. The forth patch replaces multiple zonelists with two zonelists that are filtered. The two zonelists are due to the fact that the memoryless patchset introduces a second set of zonelists for __GFP_THISNODE. The fifth patch introduces helper macros for retrieving the zone and node indices of entries in a zonelist. The final patch introduces filtering of the zonelists based on a nodemask. Two zonelists exist per node, one for normal allocations and one for __GFP_THISNODE. Performance results varied depending on the machine configuration. In real workloads the gain/loss will depend on how much the userspace portion of the benchmark benefits from having more cache available due to reduced referencing of zonelists. These are the range of performance losses/gains when running against 2.6.24-rc4-mm1. The set and these machines are a mix of i386, x86_64 and ppc64 both NUMA and non-NUMA. loss to gain Total CPU time on Kernbench: -0.86% to 1.13% Elapsed time on Kernbench: -0.79% to 0.76% page_test from aim9: -4.37% to 0.79% brk_test from aim9: -0.71% to 4.07% fork_test from aim9: -1.84% to 4.60% exec_test from aim9: -0.71% to 1.08% This patch: The allocator deals with zonelists which indicate the order in which zones should be targeted for an allocation. Similarly, direct reclaim of pages iterates over an array of zones. For consistency, this patch converts direct reclaim to use a zonelist. No functionality is changed by this patch. This simplifies zonelist iterators in the next patch. Signed-off-by:

It is not easy to actually understand the "if (!file || !vma_merge())" code, turn it into "if (file && vma_merge())". This makes immediately obvious that the subsequent "if (file)" is superfluous. As Hugh Dickins pointed out, we can also factor out the ->i_writecount corrections, and add a small comment about that. Signed-off-by:

DIO invalidates page cache through invalidate_inode_pages2_range(). invalidate_inode_pages2_range() sets ret=-EIO when invalidate_complete_page2() fails, but this ret is cleared if do_launder_page() succeed on a page of next index. In this case, dio is carried out even if invalidate_complete_page2() fails on some pages. This can cause inconsistency between memory and blocks on HDD because the page cache still exists.

Migrate flags must be set on slab creation as agreed upon when the antifrag logic was reviewed. Otherwise some slabs of a slabcache will end up in the unmovable and others in the reclaimable section depending on which flag was active when a new slab page was allocated. This likely slid in somehow when antifrag was merged. Remove it. The buffer_heads are always allocated with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE because the SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT option is set. The set_migrateflags() never had any effect there. Radix tree allocations are not directly reclaimable but they are allocated with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE set on each allocation. We now set SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT on radix tree slab creation making sure that radix tree slabs are consistently placed in the reclaimable section. Radix tree slabs will also be accounted as such. There is then no user left of set_migratepages. So remove it. Signed-off-by:

This patch wakes up a thread waiting in io_getevents if another thread destroys the context. This was tested using a small program that spawns a thread to wait in io_getevents while the parent thread destroys the io context and then waits for the getevents thread to exit. Without this patch, the program hangs indefinitely. With the patch, the program exits as expected. Signed-off-by:

All architectures use an effectively identical definition of online_page(), so just make it common code. x86-64, ia64, powerpc and sh are actually identical; x86-32 is slightly different. x86-32's differences arise because it puts its hotplug pages in the highmem zone. We can handle this in the generic code by inspecting the page to see if its in highmem, and update the totalhigh_pages count appropriately. This leaves init_32.c:free_new_highpage with a single caller, so I folded it into add_one_highpage_init. I also removed an incorrect comment referring to the NUMA case; any NUMA details have already been dealt with by the time online_page() is called.

In current kernel if we want to set the alarm time, the absolute time the seconds relative to 1970-01-01 00:00:00) should be written into /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm. It is not convenient. It is more reasonable to add the support for the alarm time relative to current RTC time.(the unit is second) For example: If the RTC is required to generate alarm after 2 minutes, the following will be OK. echo +120 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm or echo +0x78 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm Signed-off-by:

rs5c_get_regs() currently uses rs5c->rtc->name for its debug printk when i2c_transfer() fails, though it is used several times before the rtc dev has been registered. The earliest we can get at the symbolic name is via the i2c client's struct device, which can be handled by moving the first rs5c_get_regs() until after the client pointer is assigned. Signed-off-by:

Kconfig tweaks to help reduce RTC configuration bugs, by avoiding legacy RTC drivers when the generic RTC framework is enabled: - If rtc-cmos is selected, disable the legacy rtc driver; - When using generic RTC on x86, enable rtc-cmos by default; - In the old "chardev RTC" section of Kconfig, add a comment warning people off these (seven) legacy RTC drivers when the generic framework is in use. People can still use the legacy drivers if they want (or need) to. This doesn't fix the broken dependencies for the legacy "CMOS" RTC driver. Ideally it would be a full list of platforms where it works, not a partial list of ones where it won't. Or better yet, it would depend on a "HAVE_CMOS_RTC" flag defined by various platforms ... surely there's a Kconfig style guideline lurking there. Signed-off-by:
