These get created by some drivers that don't generally even want a pfn remapping at all, but would really mostly prefer to just map pages they've allocated individually instead. For now, create a helper function that turns such an incomplete PFN remapping call into a loop that does that explicit mapping. In the long run we almost certainly want to export a totally different interface for that, though. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

I image this showed up because of "unused var..." when the changes occured, because flush_cache_page() is a noop in most places. This showed up for me on parisc however, where flush_cache_page() is a real function. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Update the pre-CFI Sharp driver sharps.c so it compiles. map_read32 / map_write32 no longer exist in the kernel so the driver is totally broken as it stands. The replacement functions use different parameters resulting in the other changes. Change collie to use this driver until someone works out why the cfi driver fails on that machine.

Recent models of Intel/Sharp and Spansion CFI flash now have significant bits in the upper byte of device ID codes, read via what Spansion calls "autoselect" and Intel calls "read device identifier". Currently these values are truncated to the low 8 bits in the mtd data structures, as all CFI read query info has previously been read one byte at a time. Add a new method for reading 16-bit info, currently just manufacturer and device codes; datasheets hint at future uses for upper bytes in other fields.

JFFS2 initialize f->sem mutex as "locked" in the slab constructor which is a bug. Objects are freed with unlocked f->sem mutex. So, when they allocated again, f->sem is unlocked because the slab cache constructor is not called for them. The constructor is called only once when memory pages are allocated for objects (namely, when the slab layer allocates new slabs). So, sometimes 'struct jffs2_inode_info' are allocated with unlocked f->sem, sometimes with locked. This is a bug. Instead, initialize f->sem as unlocked in the constructor. I.e., in the "constructed" state f->sem must be unlocked. From: Keijiro Yano <keijiro_yano@yahoo.co.jp> Acked-by: Artem B.

Andrea Arcangeli authored
With Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> The slab scanning code tries to balance the scanning rate of slabs versus the scanning rate of LRU pages. To do this, it retains state concerning how many slabs have been scanned - if a particular slab shrinker didn't scan enough objects, we remember that for next time, and scan more objects on the next pass. The problem with this is that with (say) a huge number of GFP_NOIO direct-reclaim attempts, the number of objects which are to be scanned when we finally get a GFP_KERNEL request can be huge. Because some shrinker handlers just bail out if !__GFP_FS. So the patch clamps the number of objects-to-be-scanned to 2* the total number of objects in the slab cache.

If you have an array with a write-intent-bitmap, and you remove a device, then re-add it, a full recovery isn't needed. We detect a re-add by looking at saved_raid_disk. For raid1, it doesn't matter which disk it was, only whether or not it was an active device. The old code being removed set a value of 'mirror' which was then ignored, so it can go. The changed code performs the correct check. For raid6, if there are two missing devices, make sure we chose the right slot on --re-add rather than always the first slot.

raid10 has two different layouts. One uses near-copies (so multiple copies of a block are at the same or similar offsets of different devices) and the other uses far-copies (so multiple copies of a block are stored a greatly different offsets on different devices). The point of far-copies is that it allows the first section (normally first half) to be layed out in normal raid0 style, and thus provide raid0 sequential read performance. Unfortunately, the read balancing in raid10 makes some poor decisions for far-copies arrays and you don't get the desired performance. So turn off that bad bit of read_balance for far-copies arrays. With this patch, read speed of an 'f2' array is comparable with a raid0 with the same number of devices, though write speed is ofcourse still very slow.

Some users (hi Zwane) have seen a problem when running a workload that eats nearly all of physical memory - th system does an OOM kill, even when there is still a lot of swap free. The problem appears to be a very big task that is holding the swap token, and the VM has a very hard time finding any other page in the system that is swappable. Instead of ignoring the swap token when sc->priority reaches 0, we could simply take the swap token away from the memory hog and make sure we don't give it back to the memory hog for a few seconds. This patch resolves the problem Zwane ran into. Signed-off-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Move the cpuset_fork() call below the write_unlock_irq call in kernel/fork.c copy_process().
