This patch changes some of the default behavior in the ppc64 Kconfig file that was recently changed/added to 2.6.12-rc2-mm1 by Dave Hansen in preparation for SPARSEMEM. Patch allows the display of both FLAT and DISCONTIG models on pseries. As before, default is DISCONTIG for SMP and PSERIES and FLAT for others. Signed-off-by:

I got some feedback from users who think that the new "Memory Model" menu is a little invasive. This patch will hide that menu, except when CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL is enabled *or* when an individual architecture wants it. An individual arch may want to enable it because they've removed their arch-specific DISCONTIG prompt in favor of the mm/Kconfig one. Signed-off-by:

This used to be used to disable FLATMEM selection, but I decided to change it to be done generically when DISCONTIG is enabled. The option is unused, so this kills it. Signed-off-by:

The following patch applies on top of 2.6.12-rc2-mm1. It fixes a minor user interaction issue, and an early reference to SPARSEMEM. This "choice" menu would always default to FLATMEM, as it was listed first. Move it to the end so that the other defaults have a chance first. Signed-off-by:

There is some confusion that arose when working on SPARSEMEM patch between what is needed for DISCONTIG vs. NUMA. Multiple pg_data_t's are needed for DISCONTIGMEM or NUMA, independently. All of the current NUMA implementations require an implementation of DISCONTIG. Because of this, quite a lot of code which is really needed for NUMA is actually under DISCONTIG #ifdefs. For SPARSEMEM, we changed some of these #ifdefs to CONFIG_NUMA, but that broke the DISCONTIG=y and NUMA=n case. Introducing this new NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES config option allows code that is needed for both NUMA or DISCONTIG to be separated out from code that is specific to DISCONTIG. One great advantage of this approach is that it doesn't require every architecture to be converted over. All of the current implementations should "just work", only the ones implementing SPARSEMEM will have to be fixed up. The change to free_area_init() makes it work inside, or out of the new config option. Signed-off-by:

This will at least suppress one prompt that users would have received the first time they compile with the new DISCONTIG arch option. They'll still get the "Memory Model" prompt, but 99% of them will have the default work there. Signed-off-by:

For all architectures, this just means that you'll see a "Memory Model" choice in your architecture menu. For those that implement DISCONTIGMEM, you may eventually want to make your ARCH_DISCONTIGMEM_ENABLE a "def_bool y" and make your users select DISCONTIGMEM right out of the new choice menu. The only disadvantage might be if you have some specific things that you need in your help option to explain something about DISCONTIGMEM. Signed-off-by:

With sparsemem being introduced, we need a central place for new memory-related .config options: mm/Kconfig. This allows us to remove many of the duplicated arch-specific options. The new option, CONFIG_FLATMEM, is there to enable us to detangle NUMA and DISCONTIGMEM. This is a requirement for sparsemem because sparsemem uses the NUMA code without the presence of DISCONTIGMEM. The sparsemem patches use CONFIG_FLATMEM in generic code, so this patch is a requirement before applying them. Almost all places that used to do '#ifndef CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM' should use '#ifdef CONFIG_FLATMEM' instead. Signed-off-by:

Generify the value fields in the page_flags. The aim is to allow the location and size of these fields to be varied. Additionally we want to move away from fixed allocations per field whilst still enforcing the overall bit utilisation limits. We rely on the compiler to spot and optimise the accessor functions.

Introduce a simple allocator for the NUMA remap space. This space is very scarce, used for structures which are best allocated node local. This mechanism is also used on non-NUMA ia64 systems with a vmem_map to keep the pgdat->node_mem_map initialized in a consistent place for all architectures. Issues: o alloc_remap takes a node_id where we might expect a pgdat which was intended to allow us to allocate the pgdat's using this mechanism; which we do not yet do. Could have alloc_remap_node() and alloc_remap_nid() for this purpose. Signed-off-by:

The following four patches provide the last needed changes before the introduction of sparsemem. For a more complete description of what this will do, please see this patch: http://www.sr71.net/patches/2.6.11/2.6.11-bk7-mhp1/broken-out/B-sparse-150-sparsemem.patch or previous posts on the subject: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=110868540700001&r=1&w=2 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-mm&m=109897373315016&w=2 Three of these are i386-only, but one of them reorganizes the macros used to manage the space in page->flags, and will affect all platforms. There are analogous patches to the i386 ones for ppc64, ia64, and x86_64, but those will be submitted by the normal arch maintainers. The combination of the four patches has been test-booted on a variety of i386 hardware, and compiled for ppc64, i386, and x86-64 with about 17 different .configs. It's also been runtime-tested on ia64 configs (with more patches on top). This patch: We _know_ which node pages in general belong to, at least at a very gross level in node_{start,end}_pfn[]. Use those to target the allocations of pages. Signed-off-by:

This patch effectively eliminates direct use of pgdat->node_mem_map outside of the DISCONTIG code. On a flat memory system, these fields aren't currently used, neither are they on a sparsemem system. There was also a node_mem_map(nid) macro on many architectures. Its use along with the use of ->node_mem_map itself was not consistent. It has been removed in favor of two new, more explicit, arch-independent macros: pgdat_page_nr(pgdat, pagenr) nid_page_nr(nid, pagenr) I called them "pgdat" and "nid" because we overload the term "node" to mean "NUMA node", "DISCONTIG node" or "pg_data_t" in very confusing ways. I believe the newer names are much clearer. These macros can be overridden in the sparsemem case with a theoretically slower operation using node_start_pfn and pfn_to_page(), instead. We could make this the only behavior if people want, but I don't want to change too much at once. One thing at a time. This patch removes more code than it adds. Compile tested on alpha, alpha discontig, arm, arm-discontig, i386, i386 generic, NUMAQ, Summit, ppc64, ppc64 discontig, and x86_64. Full list here: http://sr71.net/patches/2.6.12/2.6.12-rc1-mhp2/configs/ Boot tested on NUMAQ, x86 SMP and ppc64 power4/5 LPARs. Signed-off-by:

This patch is a follow up to patch 1 regarding "Selective Sub Address matching with call user data". It allows use of the Fast-Select-Acceptance optional user facility for X.25. This patch just implements fast select with no restriction on response (NRR). What this means (according to ITU-T Recomendation 10/96 section 6.16) is that if in an incoming call packet, the relevant facility bits are set for fast-select-NRR, then the called DTE can issue a direct response to the incoming packet using a call-accepted packet that contains call-user-data. This patch allows such a response. The called DTE can also respond with a clear-request packet that contains call-user-data. However, this feature is currently not implemented by the patch. How is Fast Select Acceptance used? By default, the system does not allow fast select acceptance (as before). To enable a response to fast select acceptance, After a listen socket in created and bound as follows socket(AF_X25, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0); bind(call_soc, (struct sockaddr *)&locl_addr, sizeof(locl_addr)); but before a listen system call is made, the following ioctl should be used. ioctl(call_soc,SIOCX25CALLACCPTAPPRV); Now the listen system call can be made listen(call_soc, 4); After this, an incoming-call packet will be accepted, but no call-accepted packet will be sent back until the following system call is made on the socket that accepts the call ioctl(vc_soc,SIOCX25SENDCALLACCPT); The network (or cisco xot router used for testing here) will allow the application server's call-user-data in the call-accepted packet, provided the call-request was made with Fast-select NRR.

From: Shaun Pereira <spereira@tusc.com.au> This is the first (independent of the second) patch of two that I am working on with x25 on linux (tested with xot on a cisco router). Details are as follows. Current state of module: A server using the current implementation (2.6.11.7) of the x25 module will accept a call request/ incoming call packet at the listening x.25 address, from all callers to that address, as long as NO call user data is present in the packet header. If the server needs to choose to accept a particular call request/ incoming call packet arriving at its listening x25 address, then the kernel has to allow a match of call user data present in the call request packet with its own. This is required when multiple servers listen at the same x25 address and device interface. The kernel currently matches ALL call user data, if present. Current Changes: This patch is a follow up to the patch submitted previously by Andrew Hendry, and allows the user to selectively control the number of octets of call user data in the call request packet, that the kernel will match. By default no call user data is matched, even if call user data is present. To allow call user data matching, a cudmatchlength > 0 has to be passed into the kernel after which the passed number of octets will be matched. Otherwise the kernel behavior is exactly as the original implementation. This patch also ensures that as is normally the case, no call user data will be present in the Call accepted / call connected packet sent back to the caller Future Changes on next patch: There are cases however when call user data may be present in the call accepted packet. According to the X.25 recommendation (ITU-T 10/96) section 5.2.3.2 call user data may be present in the call accepted packet provided the fast select facility is used. My next patch will include this fast select utility and the ability to send up to 128 octets call user data in the call accepted packet provided the fast select facility is used. I am currently testing this, again with xot on linux and cisco. Signed-off-by:

This patch provides support for registering multiple netpoll clients to the same network device. Only one of these clients may register an rx_hook, however. In practice, this restriction has not been problematic. It is worth mentioning, though, that the current design can be easily extended to allow for the registration of multiple rx_hooks. The basic idea of the patch is that the rx_np pointer in the netpoll_info structure points to the struct netpoll that has rx_hook filled in. Aside from this one case, there is no need for a pointer from the struct net_device to an individual struct netpoll. A lock is introduced to protect the setting and clearing of the np_rx pointer. The pointer will only be cleared upon netpoll client module removal, and the lock should be uncontested. Signed-off-by:

This patch introduces a netpoll_info structure, which the struct net_device will now point to instead of pointing to a struct netpoll. The reason for this is two-fold: 1) fields such as the rx_flags, poll_owner, and poll_lock should be maintained per net_device, not per netpoll; and 2) this is a first step in providing support for multiple netpoll clients to register against the same net_device. The struct netpoll is now pointed to by the netpoll_info structure. As such, the previous behaviour of the code is preserved. Signed-off-by:

After using this facility for a while to test my changes to the cipher crypt() layer, I realised that I should've listend to Dave and made this thing use CPU cycle counters :) As it is it's too jittery for me to feel safe about relying on the results.

From: Reyk Floeter <reyk@vantronix.net> I recently had the requirement to do some benchmarking on cryptoapi, and I found reyk's very useful performance test patch [1]. However, I could not find any discussion on why that extension (or something providing a similar feature but different implementation) was not merged into mainline. If there was such a discussion, can someone please point me to the archive[s]? I've now merged the old patch into 2.6.12-rc1, the result can be found attached to this email.
