Currently, creating and removing cgroup files in the root directory are handled separately from the actual subsystem binding and unbinding which happens in rebind_subsystems(). Also, rebind_subsystems() users aren't handling file creation errors properly. Let's integrate top_cgroup file handling into rebind_subsystems() so that it's simpler to use and everyone handles file creation errors correctly. * On a successful return, rebind_subsystems() is guaranteed to have created all files of the new subsystems and deleted the ones belonging to the removed subsystems. After a failure, no file is created or removed. * cgroup_remount() no longer needs to make explicit populate/clear calls as it's all handled by rebind_subsystems(), and it gets proper error handling automatically. * cgroup_mount() has been updated such that the root dentry and cgroup are linked before rebind_subsystems(). Also, the init_cred dancing and base file handling are moved right above rebind_subsystems() call and proper error handling for the base files is added. While at it, add a comment explaining what's going on with the cred thing. * cgroup_kill_sb() calls rebind_subsystems() to unbind all subsystems which now implies removing all subsystem files which requires the directory's i_mutex. Grab it. This means that files on the root cgroup are removed earlier - they used to be deleted from generic super_block cleanup from vfs. This doesn't lead to any functional difference and it's cleaner to do the clean up explicitly for all files. Combined with the previous changes, this makes all cgroup file creation errors handled correctly. v2: Added comment on init_cred. v3: Li spotted that cgroup_mount() wasn't freeing tmp_links after base file addition failure. Fix it by adding free_tmp_links error handling label. v4: v3 introduced build bugs which got noticed by Fengguang's awesome kbuild test robot. Fixed, and shame on me.

rebind_subsystems() will be updated to handle file creations and removals with proper error handling and to do that will need to perform file operations before actually adding the subsystem to the hierarchy. To enable such usage, update cgroup_populate/clear_dir() to use for_each_subsys() instead of for_each_root_subsys() so that they operate on all subsystems specified by @subsys_mask whether that subsystem is currently bound to the hierarchy or not.

cgroup_populate_dir() didn't use to check whether the actual file creations were successful and could return success with only subset of the requested files created, which is nasty. This patch udpates cgroup_populate_dir() so that it either succeeds with all files or fails with no file. v2: The original patch also converted for_each_root_subsys() usages to for_each_subsys() without explaining why. That part has been moved to a separate patch. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>

cgroup_populate/clear_dir() currently take @base_files and adds and removes, respectively, cgroup_base_files[] to the directory. File additions and removals are being reorganized for proper error handling and more dynamic handling for the unified hierarchy, and mixing base and subsys file handling into the same functions gets a bit confusing. This patch moves base file handling out of cgroup_populate/clear_dir() into their users - cgroup_mount(), cgroup_create() and cgroup_destroy_locked(). Note that this changes the behavior of base file removal. If @base_files is %true, cgroup_clear_dir() used to delete files regardless of cftype until there's no files left. Now, only files with matching cfts are removed. As files can only be created by the base or registered cftypes, this shouldn't result in any behavior difference.

cgroup_add_cftypes() uses cgroup_cfts_commit() to actually create the files; however, both functions ignore actual file creation errors and just assume success. This can lead to, for example, blkio hierarchy with some of the cgroups with only subset of interface files populated after cfq-iosched is loaded under heavy memory pressure, which is nasty. This patch updates cgroup_cfts_commit() and cgroup_add_cftypes() to guarantee that all files are created on success and no file is created on failure.

cgroup_addrm_files() mishandled error return value from cgroup_add_file() and returns error iff the last file fails to create. As we're in the process of cleaning up file add/rm error handling and will reliably propagate file creation failures, there's no point in keeping adding files after a failure. Replace the broken error collection logic with immediate error return. While at it, add lockdep assertions and function comment.

* Rename it to cgroup_clear_dir() and make it take the pointer to the target cgroup instead of the the dentry. This makes the function consistent with its counterpart - cgroup_populate_dir(). * Move cgroup_clear_directory() invocation from cgroup_d_remove_dir() to cgroup_remount() so that the function doesn't have to determine the cgroup pointer back from the dentry. cgroup_d_remove_dir() now only deals with vfs, which is slightly cleaner. This patch doesn't introduce any functional differences. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>

As for new features, there were a few, but nothing to write to LWN about. These include: New function trigger called "dump" and "cpudump" that will cause ftrace to dump its buffer to the console when the function is called. The difference between "dump" and "cpudump" is that "dump" will dump the entire contents of the ftrace buffer, where as "cpudump" will only dump the contents of the ftrace buffer for the CPU that called the function. Another small enhancement is a new sysctl switch called "traceoff_on_warning" which, when enabled, will disable tracing if any WARN_ON() is triggered. This is useful if you want to debug what caused a warning and do not want to risk losing your trace data by the ring buffer overwriting the data before you can disable it.

This reverts commit d2aae847. It is completely and utterly broken. Module install should not build any files, and adding broken dependencies to "help" it build files is complete and utter sh*t. The kernel should not be built by root, and "make install" and "make module_install" (that for obvious reasons need to be run as root) absolutely must not build any files. They should only ever copy the already-built files over. So having dependencies for the install targets is wrong, wrong, wrong. If you try to install a kernel without building it first, you *should* get errors. The build system shouldn't try to help root build the files.

zswap is a thin backend for frontswap that takes pages that are in the process of being swapped out and attempts to compress them and store them in a RAM-based memory pool. This can result in a significant I/O reduction on the swap device and, in the case where decompressing from RAM is faster than reading from the swap device, can also improve workload performance. It also has support for evicting swap pages that are currently compressed in zswap to the swap device on an LRU(ish) basis. This functionality makes zswap a true cache in that, once the cache is full, the oldest pages can be moved out of zswap to the swap device so newer pages can be compressed and stored in zswap. This patch adds the zswap driver to mm/ Signed-off-by: Seth Jennings <sjenning@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com> Cc: Dan Magenheimer <dan.magenheimer@oracle.com> Cc: Robert Jennings <rcj@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Jenifer Hopper <jhopper@us.ibm.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Cc: Johannes Weiner <jweiner@redhat.com> Cc: Larry Woodman <lwoodman@redhat.com> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave@sr71.net> Cc: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Cc: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Cc: Cody P Schafer <cody@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Hugh Dickens <hughd@google.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

zbud is an special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed to store up to two compressed pages per physical page. While this design limits storage density, it has simple and deterministic reclaim properties that make it preferable to a higher density approach when reclaim will be used. zbud works by storing compressed pages, or "zpages", together in pairs in a single memory page called a "zbud page". The first buddy is "left justifed" at the beginning of the zbud page, and the last buddy is "right justified" at the end of the zbud page. The benefit is that if either buddy is freed, the freed buddy space, coalesced with whatever slack space that existed between the buddies, results in the largest possible free region within the zbud page. zbud also provides an attractive lower bound on density. The ratio of zpages to zbud pages can not be less than 1. This ensures that zbud can never "do harm" by using more pages to store zpages than the uncompressed zpages would have used on their own. This implementation is a rewrite of the zbud allocator internally used by zcache in the driver/staging tree. The rewrite was necessary to remove some of the zcache specific elements that were ingrained throughout and provide a generic allocation interface that can later be used by zsmalloc and others. This patch adds zbud to mm/ for later use by zswap.

dm-switch is a new target that maps IO to underlying block devices efficiently when there is a large number of fixed-sized address regions but there is no simple pattern to allow for a compact mapping representation such as dm-stripe. Though we have developed this target for a specific storage device, Dell EqualLogic, we have made an effort to keep it as general purpose as possible in the hope that others may benefit. Originally developed by Jim Ramsay. Simplified by Mikulas Patocka.

This patch removes "io_lock" and "map_lock" in struct mapped_device and "holders" in struct dm_table and replaces these mechanisms with sleepable-rcu. Previously, the code would call "dm_get_live_table" and "dm_table_put" to get and release table. Now, the code is changed to call "dm_get_live_table" and "dm_put_live_table". dm_get_live_table locks sleepable-rcu and dm_put_live_table unlocks it. dm_get_live_table_fast/dm_put_live_table_fast can be used instead of dm_get_live_table/dm_put_live_table. These *_fast functions use non-sleepable RCU, so the caller must not block between them. If the code changes active or inactive dm table, it must call dm_sync_table before destroying the old table.

This patch changes dm-bufio so that it submits write I/Os outside of the lock. If the number of submitted buffers is greater than the number of requests on the target queue, submit_bio blocks. We want to block outside of the lock to improve latency of other threads that may need the lock. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
