vmtruncate is a twisted maze of gotos, this patch cleans it up to have a proper if else for the two major cases of extending and truncating truncate and thus makes it a lot more readable while keeping exactly the same functinality. Signed-off-by:

Intensive swapoff testing shows shmem_unuse spinning on an entry in shmem_swaplist pointing to itself: how does that come about? Days pass... First guess is this: shmem_delete_inode tests list_empty without taking the global mutex (so the swapping case doesn't slow down the common case); but there's an instant in shmem_unuse_inode's list_move_tail when the list entry may appear empty (a rare case, because it's actually moving the head not the the list member). So there's a danger of leaving the inode on the swaplist when it's freed, then reinitialized to point to itself when reused. Fix that by skipping the list_move_tail when it's a no-op, which happens to plug this. But this same spinning then surfaces on another machine. Ah, I'd never suspected it, but shmem_writepage's swaplist manipulation is unsafe: though we still hold page lock, which would hold off inode deletion if the page were in pagecache, it doesn't hold off once it's in swapcache (free_swap_and_cache doesn't wait on locked pages). Hmm: we could put the the inode on swaplist earlier, but then shmem_unuse_inode could never prune unswapped inodes. Fix this with an igrab before dropping info->lock, as in shmem_unuse_inode; though I am a little uneasy about the iput which has to follow - it works, and I see nothing wrong with it, but it is surprising that shmem inode deletion may now occur below shmem_writepage. Revisit this fix later? And while we're looking at these races: the way shmem_unuse tests swapped without holding info->lock looks unsafe, if we've more than one swap area: a racing shmem_writepage on another page of the same inode could be putting it in swapcache, just as we're deciding to remove the inode from swaplist - there's a danger of going on swap without being listed, so a later swapoff would hang, being unable to locate the entry. Move that test and removal down into shmem_unuse_inode, once info->lock is held. Signed-off-by:

Nick has observed that shmem.c still uses GFP_ATOMIC when adding to page cache or swap cache, without any radix tree preload: so tending to deplete emergency reserves of memory. GFP_ATOMIC remains appropriate in shmem_writepage's add_to_swap_cache: it's being called under memory pressure, so must not wait for more memory to become available. But shmem_unuse_inode now has a window in which it can and should preload with GFP_KERNEL, and say GFP_NOWAIT instead of GFP_ATOMIC in its add_to_page_cache. shmem_getpage is not so straightforward: its filepage/swappage integrity relies upon exchanging between caches under spinlock, and it would need a lot of restructuring to place the preloads correctly. Instead, follow its pattern of retrying on races: use GFP_NOWAIT instead of GFP_ATOMIC in add_to_page_cache, and begin each circuit of the repeat loop with a sleeping radix_tree_preload, followed immediately by radix_tree_preload_end - that won't guarantee success in the next add_to_page_cache, but doesn't need to. And we can then remove that bothersome congestion_wait: when needed, it'll automatically get done in the course of the radix_tree_preload. Signed-off-by:

There are a couple of reasons (patches follow) why it would be good to open a window for sleep in shmem_unuse_inode, between its search for a matching swap entry, and its handling of the entry found. shmem_unuse_inode must then use igrab to hold the inode against deletion in that window, and its corresponding iput might result in deletion: so it had better unlock_page before the iput, and might as well release the page too. Nor is there any need to hold on to shmem_swaplist_mutex once we know we'll leave the loop. So this unwinding moves from try_to_unuse and shmem_unuse into shmem_unuse_inode, in the case when it finds a match. Let try_to_unuse break on error in the shmem_unuse case, as it does in the unuse_mm case: though at this point in the series, no error to break on. Signed-off-by:

shmem_unuse is at present an unbroken search through every swap vector page of every tmpfs file which might be swapped, all under shmem_swaplist_lock. This dates from long ago, when the caller held mmlist_lock over it all too: long gone, but there's never been much pressure for preemptible swapoff. Make it a little more preemptible, replacing shmem_swaplist_lock by shmem_swaplist_mutex, inserting a cond_resched in the main loop, and a cond_resched_lock (on info->lock) at one convenient point in the shmem_unuse_inode loop, where it has no outstanding kmap_atomic. If we're serious about preemptible swapoff, there's much further to go e.g. I'm stupid to let the kmap_atomics of the decreasingly significant HIGHMEM case dictate preemptiblility for other configs. But as in the earlier patch to make swapoff scan ptes preemptibly, my hidden agenda is really towards making memcgroups work, hardly about preemptibility at all. Signed-off-by:

tmpfs is expected to limit the memory used (unless mounted with nr_blocks=0 or size=0). But if a stacked filesystem such as unionfs gets pages from a sparse tmpfs file by reading holes, and then writes to them, it can easily exceed any such limit at present. So suppress the SGP_READ "don't allocate page" ZERO_PAGE optimization when reading for the kernel (a KERNEL_DS check, ugh, sorry about that). Indeed, pessimistically mark such pages as dirty, so they cannot get reclaimed and unaccounted by mistake. The venerable shmem_recalc_inode code (originally to account for the reclaim of clean pages) suffices to get the accounting right when swappages are dropped in favour of more uptodate filepages. This also fixes the NULL shmem_swp_entry BUG or oops in shmem_writepage, caused by unionfs writing to a very sparse tmpfs file: to minimize memory allocation in swapout, tmpfs requires the swap vector be allocated upfront, which wasn't always happening in this stacked case.

tmpfs has long allowed for a fresh filepage to be created in pagecache, just before shmem_getpage gets the chance to match it up with the swappage which already belongs to that offset. But unionfs_writepage now does a find_or_create_page, divorced from shmem_getpage, which leaves conflicting filepage and swappage outstanding indefinitely, when unionfs is over tmpfs. Therefore shmem_writepage (where a page is swizzled from file to swap) must now be on the lookout for existing swap, ready to free it in favour of the more uptodate filepage, instead of BUGging on that clash. And when the add_to_page_cache fails in shmem_unuse_inode, it must defer to an uptodate filepage, otherwise swapoff would hang. Whereas when add_to_page_cache fails in shmem_getpage, it should retry in the same way it already does. Signed-off-by:

move_to_swap_cache and move_from_swap_cache functions (which swizzle a page between tmpfs page cache and swap cache, to avoid page copying) are only used by shmem.c; and our subsequent fix for unionfs needs different treatments in the two instances of move_from_swap_cache. Move them from swap_state.c into their callsites shmem_writepage, shmem_unuse_inode and shmem_getpage, making add_to_swap_cache externally visible. shmem.c likes to say set_page_dirty where swap_state.c liked to say SetPageDirty: respect that diversity, which __set_page_dirty_no_writeback makes moot (and implies we should lose that "shift page from clean_pages to dirty_pages list" comment: it's on neither).

add_to_swap_cache doesn't amount to much: merge it into its sole caller read_swap_cache_async. But we'll be needing to call __add_to_swap_cache from shmem.c, so promote it to the new add_to_swap_cache. Both were static, so there's no interface confusion to worry about. And lose that inappropriate "Anon pages are already on the LRU" comment in the merging: they're not already on the LRU, as Nick Piggin noticed. Signed-off-by:

Both unionfs and memcgroups pose challenges to tmpfs and shmem. To help fix, it's best to move the swap swizzling functions from swap_state.c to shmem.c. As a preliminary to that, move swap stats updating down into __add_to_swap_cache, which will remain internal to swap_state.c. Well, actually, just move down the incrementation of add_total: remove noent_race and exist_race completely, they are relics of my 2.4.11 testing. Alt-SysRq-m users will be thrilled if 2.6.25 is at last free of "race M+N"s. Signed-off-by:

When tmpfs is mounted with a size less than one page, the number of blocks is set to 0 which makes the tmpfs mount unlimited. This can lead to a quick and surprising death if someone typos a tmpfs mount command and writes too much. tmpfs can still be mounted as unlimited if size or nr_blocks is exactly 0, as Documentation/filesystems/tmpfs.txt says. Hugh: do this by rounding size up instead of down in all cases: which slightly expands other odd-sized tmpfs mounts, but in a consistent way. Signed-off-by:

Provided that CONFIG_HIGHPTE is not set, unuse_pte_range can reduce latency in swapoff by scanning the page table preemptibly: so long as unuse_pte is careful to recheck that entry under pte lock. (To tell the truth, this patch was not inspired by any cries for lower latency here: rather, this restructuring permits a future memory controller patch to allocate with GFP_KERNEL in unuse_pte, where before it could not. But it would be wrong to tuck this change away inside a memcgroup patch.) Signed-off-by:

valid_swaphandles is supposed to do a quick pass over the swap map entries neigbouring the entry which swapin_readahead is targetting, to determine for it a range worth reading all together. But since it always starts its search from the beginning of the swap "cluster", a reject (free entry) there immediately curtails the readaround, and every swapin_readahead from that cluster is for just a single page. Instead scan forwards and backwards around the target entry. Use better names for some variables: a swap_info pointer is usually called "si" not "swapdev". And at the end, if only the target page should be read, return count of 0 to disable readaround, to avoid the unnecessarily repeated call to read_swap_cache_async. Signed-off-by:

With the old aops, writing to a tmpfs file had to use its own special method: the generic method would pass in a fresh page to prepare_write when the right page was there in swapcache - which was inefficient to handle, even once we'd concocted the code to handle it. With the new aops, the generic method uses shmem_write_end, which lets shmem_getpage find the right page: so now abandon shmem_file_write in favour of the generic method. Yes, that does do several things that tmpfs hasn't really needed (notably balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited, which ramfs also calls); but more use of common code is preferable. Signed-off-by:

In the new aops, write_begin is supposed to return the page locked: though I've seen no ill effects, that's been overlooked in the case of shmem_write_begin, and should be fixed. Then shmem_write_end must unlock the page: do so _after_ updating i_size, as we found to be important in other filesystems (though since shmem pages don't go the usual writeback route, they never suffered from that corruption). For shmem_write_begin to return the page locked, we need shmem_getpage to return the page locked in SGP_WRITE case as well as SGP_CACHE case: let's simplify the interface and return it locked even when SGP_READ.

Building in a filesystem on a loop device on a tmpfs file can hang when swapping, the loop thread caught in that infamous throttle_vm_writeout. In theory this is a long standing problem, which I've either never seen in practice, or long ago suppressed the recollection, after discounting my load and my tmpfs size as unrealistically high. But now, with the new aops, it has become easy to hang on one machine. Loop used to grab_cache_page before the old prepare_write to tmpfs, which seems to have been enough to free up some memory for any swapin needed; but the new write_begin lets tmpfs find or allocate the page (much nicer, since grab_cache_page missed tmpfs pages in swapcache). When allocating a fresh page, tmpfs respects loop's mapping_gfp_mask, which has __GFP_IO|__GFP_FS stripped off, and throttle_vm_writeout is designed to break out when __GFP_IO or GFP_FS is unset; but when tmfps swaps in, read_swap_cache_async allocates with GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE regardless of the mapping_gfp_mask - hence the hang. So, pass gfp_mask down the line from shmem_getpage to shmem_swapin to swapin_readahead to read_swap_cache_async to add_to_swap_cache. Signed-off-by:

swapin_readahead has never sat well in mm/memory.c: move it to mm/swap_state.c beside its kindred read_swap_cache_async. Why were its args in a different order? rearrange them. And since it was always followed by a read_swap_cache_async of the target page, fold that in and return struct page*. Then CONFIG_SWAP=n no longer needs valid_swaphandles and read_swap_cache_async stubs. Signed-off-by:

For three years swapin_readahead has been cluttered with fanciful CONFIG_NUMA code, advancing addr, and stepping on to the next vma at the boundary, to line up the mempolicy for each page allocation. It _might_ be a good idea to allocate swap more according to vma layout; but the fact is, that's not how we do it at all, 2.6 even less than 2.4: swap is allocated as needed for pages as they sink to the bottom of the inactive LRUs. Sometimes that may match vma layout, but not so often that it's worth going to these misleading vma->vm_next lengths: rip all that out. Originally I intended to retain the incrementation of addr, but correct its initial value: valid_swaphandles generally supplies an offset below the target addr (this is readaround rather than readahead), but addr has not been adjusted accordingly, so in the interleave case it has usually been allocating the target page from the "wrong" node (though that may not matter very much). But look at the equivalent shmem_swapin code: either by oversight or by design, though it has all the apparatus for choosing a new mempolicy per page, it uses the same idx throughout, choosing the same mempolicy and interleave node for each page of the cluster. Which is actually a much better strategy: each node has its own LRUs and its own kswapd, so if you're betting on any particular relationship between swap and node, the best bet is that nearby swap entries belong to pages from the same node - even when the mempolicy of the target page is to interleave. And examining a map of nodes corresponding to swap entries on a numa=fake system bears this out. (We could later tweak swap allocation to make it even more likely, but this patch is merely about removing cruft.) So, neither adjust nor increment addr in swapin_readahead, and then shmem_swapin can use it too; the pseudo-vma to pass policy need only be set up once per cluster, and so few fields of pvma are used, let's skip the memset - from shmem_alloc_page also.

The constructor for buffer_head slabs was removed recently. We need the constructor back in slab defrag in order to insure that slab objects always have a definite state even before we allocated them. I think we mistakenly merged the removal of the constuctor into a cleanup patch. You (ie: akpm) had a test that showed that the removal of the constructor led to a small regression.

Simplify page cache zeroing of segments of pages through 3 functions zero_user_segments(page, start1, end1, start2, end2) Zeros two segments of the page. It takes the position where to start and end the zeroing which avoids length calculations and makes code clearer. zero_user_segment(page, start, end) Same for a single segment. zero_user(page, start, length) Length variant for the case where we know the length. We remove the zero_user_page macro. Issues: 1. Its a macro. Inline functions are preferable. 2. The KM_USER0 macro is only defined for HIGHMEM. Having to treat this special case everywhere makes the code needlessly complex. The parameter for zeroing is always KM_USER0 except in one single case that we open code. Avoiding KM_USER0 makes a lot of code not having to be dealing with the special casing for HIGHMEM anymore. Dealing with kmap is only necessary for HIGHMEM configurations. In those configurations we use KM_USER0 like we do for a series of other functions defined in highmem.h. Since KM_USER0 is depends on HIGHMEM the existing zero_user_page function could not be a macro. zero_user_* functions introduced here can be be inline because that constant is not used when these functions are called. Also extract the flushing of the caches to be outside of the kmap. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix nfs and ntfs build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix ntfs build some more] Signed-off-by: -

Teach AVR32 to use the "GPIO Library" when exposing its GPIOs, so that signals on external chips (like GPIO expanders) can easily be used. This mostly reorganizes some existing logic, with two minor changes in behavior: - The PSR registers are used instead of the previous "gpio_mask" values, matching AT91 behavior and removing some duplication between that role and that of "pinmux_mask". - NR_IRQs grew to acommodate a bank of external GPIOs. Eventually this number should probably become a board-specific config option. There's a debugfs dump of status for the built-in GPIOs, showing which pins have deglitching, pullups, or open drain drive enabled, as well as the ID string used when requesting each IRQ.

This adds a new-style I2C driver with basic support for the sixteen bit PCA9539 GPIO expanders. These chips have multiple registers, push-pull output drivers, and (not supported in this patch) pin change interrupts. Board-specific code must provide "pca9539_platform_data" with each chip's "i2c_board_info". That provides the GPIO numbers to be used by that chip, and callbacks for board-specific setup/teardown logic. Derived from drivers/i2c/chips/pca9539.c (which has no current known users). This is faster and simpler; it uses 16-bit register access, and cache the OUTPUT and DIRECTION registers for fast access Signed-off-by:

David Brownell authored
This is a new-style I2C driver for most common 8 and 16 bit I2C based "quasi-bidirectional" GPIO expanders: pcf8574 or pcf8575, and several compatible models (mostly faster, supporting I2C at up to 1 MHz). The driver exposes the GPIO signals using the platform-neutral GPIO programming interface, so they are easily accessed by other kernel code. The lack of such a flexible kernel API has been a big factor in the proliferation of board-specific drivers for these chips... stuff that rarely makes it upstream since it's so ugly. This driver will let such boards use standard calls. Since it's a new-style driver, these devices must be configured as part of board-specific init. That eliminates the need for error-prone manual configuration of module parameters, and makes compatibility with legacy drivers (pcf8574.c, pc8575.c) for these chips easier (there's a clear either/or disjunction).

Update Documentation/gpio.txt, primarily to include the new "gpiolib" infrastructure. Signed-off-by:

David Brownell authored
Provide new implementation infrastructure that platforms may choose to use when implementing the GPIO programming interface. Platforms can update their GPIO support to use this. In many cases the incremental cost to access a non-inlined GPIO should be less than a dozen instructions, with the memory cost being about a page (total) of extra data and code. The upside is: * Providing two features which were "want to have (but OK to defer)" when GPIO interfaces were first discussed in November 2006: - A "struct gpio_chip" to plug in GPIOs that aren't directly supported by SOC platforms, but come from FPGAs or other multifunction devices using conventional device registers (like UCB-1x00 or SM501 GPIOs, and southbridges in PCs with more open specs than usual). - Full support for message-based GPIO expanders, where registers are accessed through sleeping I/O calls. Previous support for these "cansleep" calls was just stubs. (One example: the widely used pcf8574 I2C chips, with 8 GPIOs each.) * Including a non-stub implementation of the gpio_{request,free}() calls, making those calls much more useful. The diagnostic labels are also recorded given DEBUG_FS, so /sys/kernel/debug/gpio can show a snapshot of all GPIOs known to this infrastructure. The driver programming interfaces introduced in 2.6.21 do not change at all; this infrastructure is entirely below those covers. Signed-off-by: -

Add an empty drivers/gpio directory for gpiolib infrastructure and GPIO expanders. It will be populated by later patches. This won't be the only place to hold such gpio_chip code. Many external chips add a few GPIOs as secondary functionality (such as MFD drivers) and platform code frequently needs to closely integrate GPIO and IRQ support. This is placed *early* in the build/link sequence since it's common for other drivers to depend on GPIOs to do their work, so they must be initialized early in the device_initcall() sequence.

This is a one-line patch to add the following to __scsi_alloc_queue(): dma_set_seg_boundary(dev, shost->dma_boundary); This is the simplest approach but the result looks odd, __scsi_alloc_queue() does: blk_queue_segment_boundary(q, shost->dma_boundary); dma_set_seg_boundary(dev, shost->dma_boundary); blk_queue_max_segment_size(q, dma_get_max_seg_size(dev)); I think that it would be better to set up segment boundary in the same way as we did for the maximum segment size. That is, removing shost->dma_boundary and LLDs call pci_set_dma_seg_boundary (or its friends). Then __scsi_alloc_queue() can set up both limits in the same way: blk_queue_segment_boundary(q, dma_get_seg_boundary(dev)); blk_queue_max_segment_size(q, dma_get_max_seg_size(dev)); killing dma_boundary in scsi_host_template needs a large patch for libata (dma_boundary is used by only libata and sym53c8xx).
