therm_pm72.c and windfarm_lm75_sensor.c both store the return from i2c_add_driver() but do no further processing on the result. Simply return what i2c_add_driver() did, instead. Signed-off-by:

Nick Piggin authored
Optimise page_state manipulations by introducing interrupt unsafe accessors to page_state fields. Callers must provide their own locking (either disable interrupts or not update from interrupt context). Switch over the hot callsites that can easily be moved under interrupts off sections.

Several counters already have the need to use 64 atomic variables on 64 bit platforms (see mm_counter_t in sched.h). We have to do ugly ifdefs to fall back to 32 bit atomic on 32 bit platforms. The VM statistics patch that I am working on will also make more extensive use of atomic64. This patch introduces a new type atomic_long_t by providing definitions in asm-generic/atomic.h that works similar to the c "long" type. Its 32 bits on 32 bit platforms and 64 bits on 64 bit platforms. Also cleans up the determination of the mm_counter_t in sched.h. Signed-off-by:

The use k in the inner loop means that the highest zone nr is always used if any zone of a node is populated. This means that the policy zone is not correctly determined on arches that do no use HIGHMEM like ia64. Change the loop to decrement k which also simplifies the BUG_ON. Signed-off-by:

Currently the function to build a zonelist for a BIND policy has the side effect to set the policy_zone. This seems to be a bit strange. policy zone seems to not be initialized elsewhere and therefore 0. Do we police ZONE_DMA if no bind policy has been used yet? This patch moves the determination of the zone to apply policies to into the page allocator. We determine the zone while building the zonelist for nodes. Signed-off-by:

Revert a patch which went into 2.6.8-rc1. The changelog for that patch was: The shrink_zone() logic can, under some circumstances, cause far too many pages to be reclaimed. Say, we're scanning at high priority and suddenly hit a large number of reclaimable pages on the LRU. Change things so we bale out when SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages have been reclaimed. Problem is, this change caused significant imbalance in inter-zone scan balancing by truncating scans of larger zones. Suppose, for example, ZONE_HIGHMEM is 10x the size of ZONE_NORMAL. The zone balancing algorithm would require that if we're scanning 100 pages of ZONE_HIGHMEM, we should scan 10 pages of ZONE_NORMAL. But this logic will cause the scanning of ZONE_HIGHMEM to bale out after only 32 pages are reclaimed. Thus effectively causing smaller zones to be scanned relatively harder than large ones. Now I need to remember what the workload was which caused me to write this patch originally, then fix it up in a different way... Signed-off-by:

This atomic operation is superfluous: the pte will be added with the referenced bit set, and the page will be referenced through this mapping after the page fault handler returns anyway. Signed-off-by:

As find_lock_page() already checks with TestSetPageLocked() that page is locked, there is no need to call lock_page() that will try-lock page again (chances of page being unlocked in between are small). Call __lock_page() directly, this saves one atomic operation. Also, mark truncate-while-slept path as unlikely while we are here. (akpm: ug. But this is actually a common path for normal old read()s against a page which is under readahead I/O so ho-hum.) Signed-off-by:

The attached patch cleans up the way the bootmem allocator frees pages. A new function, __free_pages_bootmem(), is provided in mm/page_alloc.c that is called from mm/bootmem.c to turn pages over to the main allocator. All the bits of code to initialise pages (clearing PG_reserved and setting the page count) are moved to here. The checks on page validity are removed, on the assumption that the struct page arrays will have been prepared correctly. Signed-off-by:

bad_range is supposed to be a temporary check. It would be a pity to throw it out. Make it depend on CONFIG_DEBUG_VM instead. CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE systems were relying on this to check pfn_valid in the page allocator. Add that to page_is_buddy instead. Signed-off-by:

Minor optimization (though it doesn't help in the PREEMPT case, severely constrained by small ZAP_BLOCK_SIZE). free_pages_and_swap_cache works in chunks of 16, calling release_pages which works in chunks of PAGEVEC_SIZE. But PAGEVEC_SIZE was dropped from 16 to 14 in 2.6.10, so we're now doing more spin_lock_irq'ing than necessary: use PAGEVEC_SIZE throughout. Signed-off-by:

Before SPARSEMEM is initialised we cannot provide an efficient pfn_to_nid() implmentation; before initialisation is complete we use early_pfn_to_nid() to provide location information. Until recently there was no non-init user of this functionality. Provide a post init pfn_to_nid() implementation. Note that this implmentation assumes that the pfn passed has been validated with pfn_valid(). The current single user of this function already has this check. Signed-off-by:

There are three places we define pfn_to_nid(). Two in linux/mmzone.h and one in asm/mmzone.h. These in essence represent the three memory models. The definition in linux/mmzone.h under !NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES is both the FLATMEM definition and the optimisation for single NUMA nodes; the one under SPARSEMEM is the NUMA sparsemem one; the one in asm/mmzone.h under DISCONTIGMEM is the discontigmem one. This is not in the least bit obvious, particularly the connection between the non-NUMA optimisations and the memory models. Two patches: flatmem-split-out-memory-model: simplifies the selection of pfn_to_nid() implementations. The selection is based primarily off the memory model selected. Optimisations for non-NUMA are applied where needed. sparse-provide-pfn_to_nid: implement pfn_to_nid() for SPARSEMEM This patch: pfn_to_nid is memory model specific The pfn_to_nid() call is memory model specific. It represents the locality identifier for the memory passed. Classically this would be a NUMA node, but not a chunk of memory under DISCONTIGMEM. The SPARSEMEM and FLATMEM memory model non-NUMA versions of pfn_to_nid() are folded together under NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES, while DISCONTIGMEM has its own optimisation. This is all very confusing. This patch splits out each implementation of pfn_to_nid() so that we can see them and the optimisations to each. Signed-off-by:

Fix two warnings in ipc/shm.c ipc/shm.c:122: warning: statement with no effect ipc/shm.c:560: warning: statement with no effect by converting the macros to empty inline functions. For safety, let's do all three. This also has the advantage that typechecking gets performed even without CONFIG_SHMEM enabled. Signed-off-by:

The NODES_SPAN_OTHER_NODES config option was created so that DISCONTIGMEM could handle pSeries numa layouts. However, support for DISCONTIGMEM has been replaced by SPARSEMEM on powerpc. As a result, this config option and supporting code is no longer needed. I have already sent a patch to Paul that removes the option from powerpc specific code. This removes the arch independent piece. Doesn't really matter which is applied first. Signed-off-by:

The number of parameters for find_or_alloc_page increases significantly after policy support is added to huge pages. Simplify the code by folding find_or_alloc_huge_page() into hugetlb_no_page(). Adam Litke objected to this piece in an earlier patch but I think this is a good simplification. Diffstat shows that we can get rid of almost half of the lines of find_or_alloc_page(). If we can find no consensus then lets simply drop this patch. Signed-off-by:
