There is a call to write_lock() in gen_pool_destroy which is not balanced by any corresponding write_unlock(). This causes problems with preemption because the preemption-disable counter is incremented in the write_lock() call, but never decremented by any call to write_unlock(). This bug is gen_pool_destroy, and one of them is non-x86 arch-specific code. Signed-off-by:

Add support for the TI VLYNQ high-speed, serial and packetized bus. This bus allows external devices to be connected to the System-on-Chip and appear in the main system memory just like any memory mapped peripheral. It is widely used in TI's networking and multimedia SoC, including the AR7 SoC. Signed-off-by:

The console blank timer is currently hardcoded to 10*60 seconds which might be annoying on systems with no input devices attached to wake up the console again. Especially during development, disabling the screen saver can be handy - for example when debugging the root fs mount mechanism or other scenarios where no userspace program could be started to do that at runtime from userspace. This patch defines a core_param for the variable in charge which allows users to entirely disable the blank feature at boot time by setting it 0. The value can still be overwritten at runtime using the standard ioctl call - this just allows to conditionally change the default. Signed-off-by:

Add EISA IDs for Network Peripherals FDDI boards. Descriptions taken from the respective EISA configuration files. It's unlikely we'll ever support these cards, the problem being the lack of documentation. Assuming the policy for the EISA ID database is the same as for PCI I'm sending these entries for the sake of completeness. Signed-off-by:

Convert most arches to use asm-generic/kmap_types.h. Move the KM_FENCE_ macro additions into asm-generic/kmap_types.h, controlled by __WITH_KM_FENCE from each arch's kmap_types.h file. Would be nice to be able to add custom KM_types per arch, but I don't yet see a nice, clean way to do that. Built on x86_64, i386, mips, sparc, alpha(tonyb), powerpc(tonyb), and 68k(tonyb). Note: avr32 should be able to remove KM_PTE2 (since it's not used) and then just use the generic kmap_types.h file. Get avr32 maintainer approval. Signed-off-by:

For example: hex_dump_to_buffer("AB", 2, 16, 1, buf, 100, 0); pr_info("[%s]\n", buf); I'd expect the output to be "[41 42]", but actually it's "[41 42 ]" This patch also makes the required buf to be minimum. To print the hex format of "AB", a buf with size 6 should be sufficient, but hex_dump_to_buffer() required at least 8. Signed-off-by:Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Acked-by:

Round the slow work queue's cull and OOM timeouts to whole second boundary with round_jiffies(). The slow work queue uses a pair of timers to cull idle threads and, after OOM, to delay new thread creation. This patch also extracts the mod_timer() logic for the cull timer into a separate helper function. By rounding non-time-critical timers such as these to whole seconds, they will be batched up to fire at the same time rather than being spread out. This allows the CPU wake up less, which saves power. Signed-off-by:

put_cpu_no_resched() is an optimization of put_cpu() which unfortunately can cause high latencies. The nfs iostats code uses put_cpu_no_resched() in a code sequence where a reschedule request caused by an interrupt between the get_cpu() and the put_cpu_no_resched() can delay the reschedule for at least HZ. The other users of put_cpu_no_resched() optimize correctly in interrupt code, but there is no real harm in using the put_cpu() function which is an alias for preempt_enable(). The extra check of the preemmpt count is not as critical as the potential source of missing a reschedule. Debugged in the preempt-rt tree and verified in mainline. Impact: remove a high latency source [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fix] Signed-off-by:

They're in linux/bug.h at present, which causes include order tangles. In particular, linux/bug.h cannot be used by linux/atomic.h because, according to Nikanth: linux/bug.h pulls in linux/module.h => linux/spinlock.h => asm/spinlock.h (which uses atomic_inc) => asm/atomic.h. bug.h is a pretty low-level thing and module.h is a higher-level thing, IMO.

After introduction of keyed wakeups Davide Libenzi did on epoll, we are able to avoid spurious wakeups in poll()/select() code too. For example, typical use of poll()/select() is to wait for incoming network frames on many sockets. But TX completion for UDP/TCP frames call sock_wfree() which in turn schedules thread. When scheduled, thread does a full scan of all polled fds and can sleep again, because nothing is really available. If number of fds is large, this cause significant load. This patch makes select()/poll() aware of keyed wakeups and useless wakeups are avoided. This reduces number of context switches by about 50% on some setups, and work performed by sofirq handlers.

_atomic_dec_and_lock() should not unconditionally take the lock before calling atomic_dec_and_test() in the UP case. For consistency reasons it should behave exactly like in the SMP case. Besides that this works around the problem that with CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK this spins in __spin_lock_debug() if the lock is already taken even if the counter doesn't drop to 0. Signed-off-by:

At lumpy reclaim, a page failed to be taken by __isolate_lru_page() can be pushed back to "src" list by list_move(). But the page may not be from "src" list. This pushes the page back to wrong LRU. And list_move() itself is unnecessary because the page is not on top of LRU. Then, leave it as it is if __isolate_lru_page() fails. Reviewed-by:

On NUMA machines, the administrator can configure zone_reclaim_mode that is a more targetted form of direct reclaim. On machines with large NUMA distances for example, a zone_reclaim_mode defaults to 1 meaning that clean unmapped pages will be reclaimed if the zone watermarks are not being met. There is a heuristic that determines if the scan is worthwhile but it is possible that the heuristic will fail and the CPU gets tied up scanning uselessly. Detecting the situation requires some guesswork and experimentation so this patch adds a counter "zreclaim_failed" to /proc/vmstat. If during high CPU utilisation this counter is increasing rapidly, then the resolution to the problem may be to set /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode to 0.
