misc: cxl: use mmgrab

2020-01-14T14:16:50+00:00

Mmgrab was introduced in commit f1f1007644ff ("mm: add new mmgrab() helper") and most of the kernel was updated to use it. Update a remaining file. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) @@ expression e; @@ - atomic_inc(&e->mm_count); + mmgrab(e); Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Acked-by: Andrew Donnellan Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/1577634178-22530-2-git-send-email-Julia.Lawall@inria.fr Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

compat_ioctl: use correct compat_ptr() translation in drivers

2019-10-23T15:23:44+00:00

A handful of drivers all have a trivial wrapper around their ioctl handler, but don't call the compat_ptr() conversion function at the moment. In practice this does not matter, since none of them are used on the s390 architecture and for all other architectures, compat_ptr() does not do anything, but using the new compat_ptr_ioctl() helper makes it more correct in theory, and simplifies the code. I checked that all ioctl handlers in these files are compatible and take either pointer arguments or no argument.

powerpc/64s/radix: introduce options to disable use of the tlbie instruction

2019-09-05T04:22:41+00:00

Introduce two options to control the use of the tlbie instruction. A boot time option which completely disables the kernel using the instruction, this is currently incompatible with HASH MMU, KVM, and coherent accelerators. And a debugfs option can be switched at runtime and avoids using tlbie for invalidating CPU TLBs for normal process and kernel address mappings. Coherent accelerators are still managed with tlbie, as will KVM partition scope translations. Cross-CPU TLB flushing is implemented with IPIs and tlbiel. This is a basic implementation which does not attempt to make any optimisation beyond the tlbie implementation. This is useful for performance testing among other things. For example in certain situations on large systems, using IPIs may be faster than tlbie as they can be directed rather than broadcast. Later we may also take advantage of the IPIs to do more interesting things such as trim the mm cpumask more aggressively.

cxl: no need to check return value of debugfs_create functions

2019-06-18T11:40:25+00:00

When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the return value. The function can work or not, but the code logic should never do something different based on this. Because there's no need to check, also make the return value of the local debugfs_create_io_x64() call void, as no one ever did anything with the return value (as they did not need to.) And make the cxl_debugfs_* calls return void as no one was even checking their return value at all.

vfs: Convert cxl to use the new mount API

2019-05-25T22:06:14+00:00

Convert the cxl filesystem to the new internal mount API as the old one will be obsoleted and removed. This allows greater flexibility in communication of mount parameters between userspace, the VFS and the filesystem. See Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt for more information.

mount_pseudo(): drop 'name' argument, switch to d_make_root()

2019-05-25T21:59:24+00:00

Once upon a time we used to set ->d_name of e.g. pipefs root so that d_path() on pipes would work. These days it's completely pointless - dentries of pipes are not even connected to pipefs root. However, mount_pseudo() had set the root dentry name (passed as the second argument) and callers kept inventing names to pass to it. Including those that didn't *have* any non-root dentries to start with... All of that had been pointless for about 8 years now; it's time to get rid of that cargo-culting... Signed-off-by: Al Viro
