The "Adding %dk swap" message shows the number of swap extents, as a guide to how fragmented the swapfile may be. But a useful further guide is what total extent they span across (sometimes scarily large). And there's no need to keep nr_extents in swap_info: it's unused after the initial message, so save a little space by keeping it on stack. Signed-off-by:

There are several comments that swap's extent_list.prev points to the lowest extent: that's not so, it's extent_list.next which points to it, as you'd expect. And a couple of loops in add_swap_extent which go all the way through the list, when they should just add to the other end. Fix those up, and let map_swap_page search the list forwards: profiles shows it to be twice as quick that way - because prefetch works better on how the structs are typically kmalloc'ed? or because usually more is written to than read from swap, and swap is allocated ascendingly?

sys_swapon's call to destroy_swap_extents on failure is made after the final swap_list_unlock, which is faintly unsafe: another sys_swapon might already be setting up that swap_info_struct. Calling it earlier, before taking swap_list_lock, is safe. sys_swapoff's call to destroy_swap_extents was safe, but likewise move it earlier, before taking the locks (once try_to_unuse has completed, nothing can be needing the swap extents).

If a regular swapfile lies on a filesystem whose blocksize is less than PAGE_SIZE, then setup_swap_extents may have to cut the number of usable swap pages; but sys_swapon's nr_good_pages was not expecting that. Also, setup_swap_extents takes no account of badpages listed in the swap header: not worth doing so, but ensure nr_badpages is 0 for a regular swapfile. Signed-off-by:

Someone mentioned that almost all the architectures used basically the same implementation of get_order. This patch consolidates them into asm-generic/page.h and includes that in the appropriate places. The exceptions are ia64 and ppc which have their own (presumably optimised) versions. Signed-off-by:

This splits up sparse_index_alloc() into two pieces. This is needed because we'll allocate the memory for the second level in a different place from where we actually consume it to keep the allocation from happening underneath a lock Signed-off-by:

With cleanups from Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com> SPARSEMEM_EXTREME makes mem_section a one dimensional array of pointers to mem_sections. This two level layout scheme is able to achieve smaller memory requirements for SPARSEMEM with the tradeoff of an additional shift and load when fetching the memory section. The current SPARSEMEM implementation is a one dimensional array of mem_sections which is the default SPARSEMEM configuration. The patch attempts isolates the implementation details of the physical layout of the sparsemem section array. SPARSEMEM_EXTREME requires bootmem to be functioning at the time of memory_present() calls. This is not always feasible, so architectures which do not need it may allocate everything statically by using SPARSEMEM_STATIC. Signed-off-by:

A new option for SPARSEMEM is ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME. Architecture platforms with a very sparse physical address space would likely want to select this option. For those architecture platforms that don't select the option, the code generated is equivalent to SPARSEMEM currently in -mm. I'll be posting a patch on ia64 ml which uses this new SPARSEMEM feature. ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME makes mem_section a one dimensional array of pointers to mem_sections. This two level layout scheme is able to achieve smaller memory requirements for SPARSEMEM with the tradeoff of an additional shift and load when fetching the memory section. The current SPARSEMEM -mm implementation is a one dimensional array of mem_sections which is the default SPARSEMEM configuration. The patch attempts isolates the implementation details of the physical layout of the sparsemem section array. ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME depends on 64BIT and is by default boolean false. I've boot tested under aim load ia64 configured for ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME. I've also boot tested a 4 way Opteron machine with !ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME and tested with aim. Signed-off-by:

Running 'make clean' was quietly deleting files in Mercurial kernel repositories matching '.*.d', which was corrupting the tags portions of the repository. Spotted and fixed by several people. Signed-off-by:

This patch corrects the PNP-handling inside the tpm-driver and some minor coding style bugs. Note: the pci-device and pnp-device mixture is currently necessary, since the used "tpm"-interface requires a pci-dev in order to register the driver. This will be fixed within the next iterations.

Please apply this to 2.6.14, and also to 2.6.13.1 -stable. Without this patch, users will have to EXPLICITLY select tda1004x in Kconfig. This SHOULD be done automatically when saa7134-dvb is selected. This patch corrects this problem. Signed-off-by:
