Add missing braces to include error message. The error message is related to the return value for sysfs_create_group(). However, sysfs_create_group() is called when pdata->en_ambl_sens is not zero. Thus, the checking return value should be included in the if statement. Signed-off-by:

Create a new N: entry type in MAINTAINERS which performs a regex match against filenames; either those extracted from patch +++ or --- lines, or those specified on the command-line using the -f option. This provides the same benefits as using a K: regex option to match a set of filenames (see commit eb90d085 "get_maintainer: allow keywords to match filenames"), but without the disadvantage that "random" file content, such as comments, will ever match the regex. Hence, revert most of that commit. Switch the Tegra entry from using K: to N: [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix typo in docs, per Marcin] Reported-by:

This driver requests and remaps a memory region as configured in the device tree. It serves memory from this region via the genalloc API. It optionally enables the SRAM clock. Other drivers can retrieve the genalloc pool from a phandle pointing to this drivers' device node in the device tree. The allocation granularity is hard-coded to 32 bytes for now, to make the SRAM driver useful for the 6502 remoteproc driver. There is overhead for bigger SRAMs, where only a much coarser allocation granularity is needed: At 32 bytes minimum allocation size, a 256 KiB SRAM needs a 1 KiB bitmap to track allocations.

This patch adds three exported functions to lib/genalloc.c: devm_gen_pool_create, dev_get_gen_pool, and of_get_named_gen_pool. devm_gen_pool_create is a managed version of gen_pool_create that keeps track of the pool via devres and allows the management code to automatically destroy it after device removal. dev_get_gen_pool retrieves the gen_pool for a given device, if it was created with devm_gen_pool_create, using devres_find. of_get_named_gen_pool retrieves the gen_pool for a given device node and property name, where the property must contain a phandle pointing to a platform device node. The corresponding platform device is then fed into dev_get_gen_pool and the resulting gen_pool is returned.

So when we release a resource structure, we should check whether it is allocated by bootmem or not. But even if we know a resource structure is allocated by bootmem, we cannot release it since SLxB cannot treat it. So for reusing a resource structure, this patch remembers it by using bootmem_resource as follows: When releasing a resource structure by free_resource(), free_resource() checks whether the resource structure is allocated by bootmem or not. If it is allocated by bootmem, free_resource() adds it to bootmem_resource. If it is not allocated by bootmem, free_resource() release it by kfree(). And when getting a new resource structure by get_resource(), get_resource() checks whether bootmem_resource has released resource structures or not. If there is a released resource structure, get_resource() returns it. If there is not a releaed resource structure, get_resource() returns new resource structure allocated by kzalloc().

There are times when HIGHMEM is enabled, but we don't prefer CONFIG_BOUNCE to be enabled. CONFIG_BOUNCE can reduce the block device throughput, and this is not ideal for machines where we don't gain much by enabling it. So provide an option to deselect CONFIG_BOUNCE.

As pointed out by Andrew Morton, the swap-over-NFS writeback is not setting PageWriteback before it is queued for direct IO. While swap pages do not participate in BDI or process dirty accounting and the IO is synchronous, the writeback bit is still required and not setting it in this case was an oversight. swapoff depends on the page writeback to synchronoise all pending writes on a swap page before it is reused. Swapcache freeing and reuse depend on checking the PageWriteback under lock to ensure the page is safe to reuse. Direct IO handlers and the direct IO handler for NFS do not deal with PageWriteback as they are synchronous writes. In the case of NFS, it schedules pages (or a page in the case of swap) for IO and then waits synchronously for IO to complete in nfs_direct_write(). It is recognised that this is a slowdown from normal swap handling which is asynchronous and uses a completion handler. Shoving PageWriteback handling down into direct IO handlers looks like a bad fit to handle the swap case although it may have to be dealt with some day if swap is converted to use direct IO in general and bmap is finally done away with. At that point it will be necessary to refit asynchronous direct IO with completion handlers onto the swap subsystem. As swapcache currently depends on PageWriteback to protect against races, this patch sets PageWriteback under the page lock before queueing it for direct IO. It is cleared when the direct IO handler returns. IO errors are treated similarly to the direct-to-bio case except PageError is not set as in the case of swap-over-NFS, it is likely to be a transient error. It was asked what prevents such a page being reclaimed in parallel. With this patch applied, such a page will now be skipped (most of the time) or blocked until the writeback completes. Reclaim checks PageWriteback under the page lock before calling try_to_free_swap and the page lock should prevent the page being requeued for IO before it is freed. This and Jerome's related patch should considered for -stable as far back as 3.6 when swap-over-NFS was introduced.

Since commit 62c230bc ("mm: add support for a filesystem to activate swap files and use direct_IO for writing swap pages"), swap_writepage() calls direct_IO on swap files. However, in that case the page isn't redirtied if I/O fails, and is therefore handled afterwards as if it has been successfully written to the swap file, leading to memory corruption when the page is eventually swapped back in. This patch sets the page dirty when direct_IO() fails. It fixes a memory corruption that happened while using swap-over-NFS. Signed-off-by:

A memcg may livelock when oom if the process that grabs the hierarchy's oom lock is never the first process with PF_EXITING set in the memcg's task iteration. The oom killer, both global and memcg, will defer if it finds an eligible process that is in the process of exiting and it is not being ptraced. The idea is to allow it to exit without using memory reserves before needlessly killing another process. This normally works fine except in the memcg case with a large number of threads attached to the oom memcg. In this case, the memcg oom killer only gets called for the process that grabs the hierarchy's oom lock; all others end up blocked on the memcg's oom waitqueue. Thus, if the process that grabs the hierarchy's oom lock is never the first PF_EXITING process in the memcg's task iteration, the oom killer is constantly deferred without anything making progress. The fix is to give PF_EXITING processes access to memory reserves so that we've marked them as oom killed without any iteration. This allows __mem_cgroup_try_charge() to succeed so that the process may exit. This makes the memcg oom killer exemption for TIF_MEMDIE tasks, now immediately granted for processes with pending SIGKILLs and those in the exit path, to be equivalent to what is done for the global oom killer.

When hot removing memory, a firmware_map_entry which has memory range of the memory is released by release_firmware_map_entry(). If the entry is allocated by bootmem, release_firmware_map_entry() adds the entry to map_entires_bootmem list when firmware_map_find_entry() finds the entry from map_entries list. But firmware_map_find_entry never find the entry sicne map_entires list does not have the entry. So the entry just leaks. Here are steps of leaking firmware_map_entry: firmware_map_remove() -> firmware_map_find_entry() Find released entry from map_entries list -> firmware_map_remove_entry() Delete the entry from map_entries list -> remove_sysfs_fw_map_entry() ... -> release_firmware_map_entry() -> firmware_map_find_entry() Find the entry from map_entries list but the entry has been deleted from map_entries list. So the entry is not added to map_entries_bootmem. Thus the entry leaks release_firmware_map_entry() should not call firmware_map_find_entry() since releaed entry has been deleted from map_entries list. So the patch delete firmware_map_find_entry() from releae_firmware_map_entry() Signed-off-by:Wanpeng Li <liwanp@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by:
