If an online-attempt on a CPU which has been offlined using H_CEDE with an appropriate cede latency hint fails, don't panic. Instead print the error message and let the __cpu_up() code notify the CPU Hotplug framework of the failure, which in turn can notify the other subsystem through CPU_UP_CANCELED.

Set need to call __set_pte_at() and not set_pte_at() from __change_page_attr() since the later will perform checks with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM that aren't suitable to the way we override an existing PTE.

Now we have high res timers there is less of a reason for a high HZ value. Furthermore I think there a few reasons we should reduce HZ to 100: - Timer interrupt overhead. While this overhead is small, there are applications that are very sensitive to jitter (eg some HPC apps). - Issues with the timer wheel code. When coming out of NO_HZ idle we work our way through the timer code one tick at a time. If we have been idle a long time, this adds up - I sometimes see milliseconds of time spent in that loop. Long term we should fix the timer wheel algorithm, but for now if we reduce HZ then we reduce the amount of work the timer code has to do when coming out of idle.

The Collaborative Memory Manager (CMM) module allocates individual pages over time that are not migratable. On a long running system this can severely impact the ability to find enough pages to support a hotplug memory remove operation. This patch adds a memory isolation notifier and a memory hotplug notifier. The memory isolation notifier will return the number of pages found in the range specified. This is used to determine if all of the used pages in a pageblock are owned by the balloon (or other entities in the notifier chain). The hotplug notifier will free pages in the range which is to be removed. The priority of this hotplug notifier is low so that it will be called near last, this helps avoids removing loaned pages in operations that fail due to other handlers. CMM activity will be halted when hotplug remove operations are active and resume activity after a delay period to allow the hypervisor time to adjust.

Robert Jennings authored
Memory balloon drivers can allocate a large amount of memory which is not movable but could be freed to accomodate memory hotplug remove. Prior to calling the memory hotplug notifier chain the memory in the pageblock is isolated. Currently, if the migrate type is not MIGRATE_MOVABLE the isolation will not proceed, causing the memory removal for that page range to fail. Rather than failing pageblock isolation if the migrateteype is not MIGRATE_MOVABLE, this patch checks if all of the pages in the pageblock, and not on the LRU, are owned by a registered balloon driver (or other entity) using a notifier chain. If all of the non-movable pages are owned by a balloon, they can be freed later through the memory notifier chain and the range can still be isolated in set_migratetype_isolate().

I added blk_run_backing_dev on page_cache_async_readahead so readahead I/O is unpluged to improve throughput on especially RAID environment. The normal case is, if page N become uptodate at time T(N), then T(N) <= T(N+1) holds. With RAID (and NFS to some degree), there is no strict ordering, the data arrival time depends on runtime status of individual disks, which breaks that formula. So in do_generic_file_read(), just after submitting the async readahead IO request, the current page may well be uptodate, so the page won't be locked, and the block device won't be implicitly unplugged: if (PageReadahead(page)) page_cache_async_readahead() if (!PageUptodate(page)) goto page_not_up_to_date; //... page_not_up_to_date: lock_page_killable(page); Therefore explicit unplugging can help.

RTC core won't allow wakeup alarms to be set if RTC devices' parent (i.e. i2c_client or spi_device) isn't wakeup capable. For I2C devices there is I2C_CLIENT_WAKE flag exists that we can pass via board info, and if set, I2C core will initialize wakeup capability. For SPI devices there is no such flag at all. I believe that it's not platform code responsibility to allow or disallow wakeups, instead, drivers themselves should set the capability if a device can trigger wakeups. That's what drivers/base/power/sysfs.c says: * It is the responsibility of device drivers to enable (or disable) * wakeup signaling as part of changing device power states, respecting * the policy choices provided through the driver model. I2C and SPI RTC devices send wakeup events via interrupt lines, so we should set the wakeup capability if IRQ is routed. Ideally we should also check irq for wakeup capability before setting device's capability, i.e. if (can_irq_wake(irq)) device_set_wakeup_capable(&client->dev, 1); But there is no can_irq_wake() call exist, and it is not that trivial to implement it for all interrupts controllers and complex/cascaded setups. drivers/base/power/sysfs.c also covers these cases: * Devices may not be able to generate wakeup events from all power * states. Also, the events may be ignored in some configurations; * for example, they might need help from other devices that aren't * active So there is no guarantee that wakeup will actually work, and so I think there is no point in being pedantic wrt checking IRQ wakeup capability.

Thanks to Roland who pointed out de_thread() issues. Currently we add sub-threads to ->real_parent->children list. This buys nothing but slows down do_wait(). With this patch ->children contains only main threads (group leaders). The only complication is that forget_original_parent() should iterate over sub-threads by hand, and de_thread() needs another list_replace() when it changes ->group_leader. Henceforth do_wait_thread() can never see task_detached() && !EXIT_DEAD tasks, we can remove this check (and we can unify do_wait_thread() and ptrace_do_wait()). This change can confuse the optimistic search in mm_update_next_owner(), but this is fixable and minor. Perhaps badness() and oom_kill_process() should be updated, but they should be fixed in any case.
