2012-02-06bcma: add PCIe host controllerHauke Mehrtens2-0/+65
Some SoCs have a PCIe host controller to make it possible to attach some other devices to it, like an other Wifi card. This code was tested with an Netgear WNDR3400 (bcm4716 based), but should work with all bcma based SoCs. Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@hauke-m.de> Signed-off-by: John W.

2012-02-06cfg80211: stop tracking authenticated stateJohannes Berg1-28/+11
To track authenticated state seems to have been a design mistake in cfg80211. It is possible to have out of band authentication (FT), tracking multiple authentications caused more problems than it ever helped, and the implementation in mac80211 is too complex. Remove all this complexity, and let userspace do whatever it wants to, mac80211 can deal with that just fine. Association is still tracked of course, but authentication no longer is. Local auth state changes are thus no longer of value, so ignore them completely. This will also help implement SAE -- asking the driver to do an authentication is now almost equivalent to sending an authentication frame, with the exception of shared key authentication which is still handled completely.

2012-02-06mac80211: add sta_state callbackJohannes Berg1-0/+30
(based on Eliad's patch) Add a callback to notify the low-level driver whenever the state of a station changes. The driver is only notified when the station is actually in the mac80211 hash table, not for pre-insert state transitions. To allow the driver to replace sta_add/remove calls with this, call extra transitions with the NOTEXIST state. This callback can fail, so we need to be careful in handling it when a station is inserted, particularly in the IBSS case where we still keep the station entry around for mac80211 purposes.

This patch partially reverts: 3d058d7 netfilter: rework user-space expectation helper support that was applied during the 3.2 development cycle. After this patch, the tree remains just like before patch bc01bef, that initially added the preliminary infrastructure. I decided to partially revert this patch because the approach that I proposed to resolve this problem is broken in NAT setups. Moreover, a new infrastructure will be submitted for the 3.3.x development cycle that resolve the existing issues while providing a neat solution. Since nobody has been seriously using this infrastructure in user-space, the removal of this feature should affect any know FOSS project (to my knowledge).

Andrew explains: - various misc stuff - Most of the rest of MM: memcg, threaded hugepages, others. - cpumask - kexec - kdump - some direct-io performance tweaking - radix-tree optimisations - new selftests code A note on this: often people will develop a new userspace-visible feature and will develop userspace code to exercise/test that feature. Then they merge the patch and the selftest code dies. Sometimes we paste it into the changelog. Sometimes the code gets thrown into Documentation/(!). This saddens me. So this patch creates a bare-bones framework which will henceforth allow me to ask people to include their test apps in the kernel tree so we can keep them alive. Then when people enhance or fix the feature, I can ask them to update the test app too. The infrastruture is terribly trivial at present - let's see how it evolves. - checkpoint/restart feature work. A note on this: this is a project by various mad Russians to perform c/r mainly from userspace, with various oddball helper code added into the kernel where the need is demonstrated. So rather than some large central lump of code, what we have is little bits and pieces popping up in various places which either expose something new or which permit something which is normally kernel-private to be modified. The overall project is an ongoing thing. I've judged that the size and scope of the thing means that we're more likely to be successful with it if we integrate the support into mainline piecemeal rather than allowing it all to develop out-of-tree. However I'm less confident than the developers that it will all eventually work! So what I'm asking them to do is to wrap each piece of new code inside CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE. So if it all eventually comes to tears and the project as a whole fails, it should be a simple matter to go through and delete all trace of it.

2012-01-13c/r: prctl: add PR_SET_MM codes to set up mm_struct entriesCyrill Gorcunov1-0/+12
When we restore a task we need to set up text, data and data heap sizes from userspace to the values a task had at checkpoint time. This patch adds auxilary prctl codes for that. While most of them have a statistical nature (their values are involved into calculation of /proc/<pid>/statm output) the start_brk and brk values are used to compute an allowed size of program data segment expansion. Which means an arbitrary changes of this values might be dangerous operation. So to restrict access the following requirements applied to prctl calls: - The process has to have CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability granted. - For all opcodes except start_brk/brk members an appropriate VMA area must exist and should fit certain VMA flags, such as: - code segment must be executable but not writable; - data segment must not be executable. start_brk/brk values must not intersect with data segment and must not exceed RLIMIT_DATA resource limit. Still the main guard is CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability check. Note the kernel should be compiled with CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE support otherwise these prctl calls will return -EINVAL.

2012-01-13mm: take pagevecs off reclaim stackHugh Dickins1-2/+0
Replace pagevecs in putback_lru_pages() and move_active_pages_to_lru() by lists of pages_to_free: then apply Konstantin Khlebnikov's free_hot_cold_page_list() to them instead of pagevec_release(). Which simplifies the flow (no need to drop and retake lock whenever pagevec fills up) and reduces stale addresses in stack backtraces (which often showed through the pagevecs); but more importantly, removes another 120 bytes from the deepest stacks in page reclaim. Although I've not recently seen an actual stack overflow here with a vanilla kernel, move_active_pages_to_lru() has often featured in deep backtraces. However, free_hot_cold_page_list() does not handle compound pages (nor need it: a Transparent HugePage would have been split by the time it reaches the call in shrink_page_list()), but it is possible for putback_lru_pages() or move_active_pages_to_lru() to be left holding the last reference on a THP, so must exclude the unlikely compound case before putting on pages_to_free. Remove pagevec_strip(), its work now done in move_active_pages_to_lru(). The pagevec in scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() remains in mm/vmscan.c, but that is never on the reclaim path, and cannot be replaced by a list.

2012-01-13mm: compaction: introduce sync-light migration for use by compactionMel Gorman2-7/+22
This patch adds a lightweight sync migrate operation MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT mode that avoids writing back pages to backing storage. Async compaction maps to MIGRATE_ASYNC while sync compaction maps to MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT. For other migrate_pages users such as memory hotplug, MIGRATE_SYNC is used. This avoids sync compaction stalling for an excessive length of time, particularly when copying files to a USB stick where there might be a large number of dirty pages backed by a filesystem that does not support ->writepages.

Due to reports of stalling, there was a debate on disabling synchronous compaction but this severely impacted allocation success rates. Part of the reason was that many dirty pages are skipped in asynchronous compaction by the following check; if (PageDirty(page) && !sync && mapping->a_ops->migratepage != migrate_page) rc = -EBUSY; This skips over all mapping aops using buffer_migrate_page() even though it is possible to migrate some of these pages without blocking. This patch updates the ->migratepage callback with a "sync" parameter. It is the responsibility of the callback to fail gracefully if migration would block.

2012-01-13thp: add tlb_remove_pmd_tlb_entryShaohua Li2-1/+15
We have tlb_remove_tlb_entry to indicate a pte tlb flush entry should be flushed, but not a corresponding API for pmd entry. This isn't a problem so far because THP is only for x86 currently and tlb_flush() under x86 will flush entire TLB. But this is confusion and could be missed if thp is ported to other arch. Also convert tlb->need_flush = 1 to a VM_BUG_ON(!tlb->need_flush) in __tlb_remove_page() as suggested by Andrea Arcangeli. The __tlb_remove_page() function is supposed to be called after tlb_remove_xxx_tlb_entry() and we can catch any misuse.

2012-01-13memcg: simplify LRU handling by new ruleKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki1-8/+0
Now, at LRU handling, memory cgroup needs to do complicated works to see valid pc->mem_cgroup, which may be overwritten. This patch is for relaxing the protocol. This patch guarantees - when pc->mem_cgroup is overwritten, page must not be on LRU. By this, LRU routine can believe pc->mem_cgroup and don't need to check bits on pc->flags. This new rule may adds small overheads to swapin. But in most case, lru handling gets faster. After this patch, PCG_ACCT_LRU bit is obsolete and removed.

2012-01-13memcg: clear pc->mem_cgroup if necessary.KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki1-0/+5
This is a preparation before removing a flag PCG_ACCT_LRU in page_cgroup and reducing atomic ops/complexity in memcg LRU handling. In some cases, pages are added to lru before charge to memcg and pages are not classfied to memory cgroup at lru addtion. Now, the lru where the page should be added is determined a bit in page_cgroup->flags and pc->mem_cgroup. I'd like to remove the check of flag. To handle the case pc->mem_cgroup may contain stale pointers if pages are added to LRU before classification. This patch resets pc->mem_cgroup to root_mem_cgroup before lru additions.

2012-01-13memcg: make mem_cgroup_split_huge_fixup() more efficientKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki1-3/+2
In split_huge_page(), mem_cgroup_split_huge_fixup() is called to handle page_cgroup modifcations. It takes move_lock_page_cgroup() and modifies page_cgroup and LRU accounting jobs and called HPAGE_PMD_SIZE - 1 times. But thinking again, - compound_lock() is held at move_accout...then, it's not necessary to take move_lock_page_cgroup(). - LRU is locked and all tail pages will go into the same LRU as head is now on. - page_cgroup is contiguous in huge page range. This patch fixes mem_cgroup_split_huge_fixup() as to be called once per hugepage and reduce costs for spliting.

2012-01-13mm: memcg: remove unused node/section info from pc->flagsJohannes Weiner1-33/+0
To find the page corresponding to a certain page_cgroup, the pc->flags encoded the node or section ID with the base array to compare the pc pointer to. Now that the per-memory cgroup LRU lists link page descriptors directly, there is no longer any code that knows the struct page_cgroup of a PFN but not the struct page.

Now that all code that operated on global per-zone LRU lists is converted to operate on per-memory cgroup LRU lists instead, there is no reason to keep the double-LRU scheme around any longer. The pc->lru member is removed and page->lru is linked directly to the per-memory cgroup LRU lists, which removes two pointers from a descriptor that exists for every page frame in the system.

2012-01-13mm: collect LRU list heads into struct lruvecJohannes Weiner2-5/+7
Having a unified structure with a LRU list set for both global zones and per-memcg zones allows to keep that code simple which deals with LRU lists and does not care about the container itself. Once the per-memcg LRU lists directly link struct pages, the isolation function and all other list manipulations are shared between the memcg case and the global LRU case.
