Recent woes with some arches needing their own pgd_addr_end macro; and 4-level clear_page_range regression since 2.6.10's clear_page_tables; and its long-standing well-known inefficiency in searching throughout the higher-level page tables for those few entries to clear and free: all can be blamed on ignoring the list of vmas when we free page tables. Replace exit_mmap's clear_page_range of the total user address space by free_pgtables operating on the mm's vma list; unmap_region use it in the same way, giving floor and ceiling beyond which it may not free tables. This brings lmbench fork/exec/sh numbers back to 2.6.10 (unless preempt is enabled, in which case latency fixes spoil unmap_vmas throughput). Beware: the do_mmap_pgoff driver failure case must now use unmap_region instead of zap_page_range, since a page table might have been allocated, and can only be freed while it is touched by some vma. Move free_pgtables from mmap.c to memory.c, where its lower levels are adapted from the clear_page_range levels. (Most of free_pgtables' old code was actually for a non-existent case, prev not properly set up, dating from before hch gave us split_vma.) Pass mmu_gather** in the public interfaces, since we might want to add latency lockdrops later; but no attempt to do so yet, going by vma should itself reduce latency. But what if is_hugepage_only_range? Those ia64 and ppc64 cases need careful examination: put that off until a later patch of the series. What of x86_64's 32bit vdso page __map_syscall32 maps outside any vma? And the range to sparc64's flush_tlb_pgtables? It's less clear to me now that we need to do more than is done here - every PMD_SIZE ever occupied will be flushed, do we really have to flush every PGDIR_SIZE ever partially occupied? A shame to complicate it unnecessarily. Special thanks to David Miller for time spent repairing my ceilings. Signed-off-by:

The current <linux/debugfs.h> include file is a little fragile in that it is not self-contained and hence may cause compile warnings or errors depending on the files included before it, the kernel config and the architecture. This patch makes things a little more robust by: - including <linux/types.h> to get definitions of u32, mode_t, and so on. - forward declaring struct file_operations. - including <linux/err.h> when CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is not set The last change is particularly useful, as a kernel developer is likely to build with debugfs always enabled and never see the build breakage cased if debugfs is disabled.

platform_add_devices can be used from within modules, so it should be exported. This can for example happen if you have hotpluggable firmware in an FPGA on a system on chip processor; in our case the FPGA is probed for devices and the FPGA base code registers the devices it has found with the kernel. (akpm: I think this is reasonable from a licensing POV: it's unlikely that anyone would be interested in merging such specialised modules into mainline, and it's a GPL export). Signed-off-by:

Here we add a TIMEOUT value to the hotplug environment of the firmware requesting event. I will adapt udevd not to wait for anything else, if it finds a TIMEOUT key. Signed-off-by:

The it87 and via686a hardware monitoring drivers each create a sysfs file named "alarms" in R/W mode, while they should really create it in read-only mode. Since we don't provide a store function for these files, write attempts to these files will do something undefined (I guess) and bad (I am sure). My own try resulted in a locked terminal (where I attempted the write) and a 100% CPU load until next reboot. As a side note, wouldn't it make sense to check, when creating sysfs files, that readable files have a non-NULL show method, and writable files have a non-NULL store method? I know drivers are not supposed to do stupid things, but there is already a BUG_ON for several conditions in sysfs_create_file, so maybe we could add two more? Signed-off-by:

Here comes a small cleanup patch for the via686a driver. I noticed the following two non-fatal problems: 1* The device parent is explicitely set, but it's not needed because the i2c core will do as the client is registered. 2* snprintf is used where strlcpy would suffice. Fixing them brings the via686a driver in line with what other similar drivers do. Signed-off-by:

Updates to the Ethernet/RNDIS gadget driver (mostly for RNDIS): - Fix brown-paper bag goof with RNDIS packet TX ... the wrong length field got set, so Windows would ignore data packets it received. - More consistent handling of CDC output filters (but not yet hooking things up so RNDIS uses the mechanism). - Zerocopy RX for RNDIS packets too (saving CPU cycles). - Use the pre-allocated interrupt/status request and buffer, rather than allocating and freeing one of each every few seconds (which could fail). - Some more "sparse" tweaks, making both dual-speed and single-speed configurations happier. - RNDIS speeds are reported in units of 100bps, not bps. Plus two minor cleanups (whitespace, messaging). Signed-off-by:David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by:
