staging: android: ion: Set the length of the DMA sg entries in buffer

2016-04-20T06:42:16+00:00

commit 70bc916b2c80913753fb188d4daee50a64d21ba0 upstream. ion_buffer_create() will allocate a buffer and then create a DMA mapping for it, but it forgot to set the length of the page entries.

staging: android: ion_test: fix check of platform_device_register_simple() error code

2016-04-12T16:08:48+00:00

commit ccbc2a9e7878ff09bcaed4893c2a2d3adbb797e2 upstream. On error platform_device_register_simple() returns ERR_PTR() value, check for NULL always fails. The change corrects the check itself and propagates the returned error upwards.

Revert "scatterlist: use sg_phys()"

2015-12-15T20:54:06+00:00

commit db0fa0cb0157 "scatterlist: use sg_phys()" did replacements of the form: phys_addr_t phys = page_to_phys(sg_page(s)); phys_addr_t phys = sg_phys(s) & PAGE_MASK; However, this breaks platforms where sizeof(phys_addr_t) > sizeof(unsigned long). Revert for 4.3 and 4.4 to make room for a combined helper in 4.5.

mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd

2015-11-07T01:50:42+00:00

__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

"drivers/staging: mark android/ion fcns with EXPORT_SYMBOL for tristate

2015-10-13T21:32:36+00:00

In a recent change, we made a bool into a tristate in: "drivers/staging: make android tegra_ion.c properly tristate", since it was self evident that was the original intention. However on the final link phase we'll see an allmodconfig fail with: ERROR: "ion_device_add_heap" [drivers/staging/android/ion/tegra/tegra_ion.ko] undefined! ERROR: "ion_heap_create" [drivers/staging/android/ion/tegra/tegra_ion.ko] undefined! ERROR: "ion_device_create" [drivers/staging/android/ion/tegra/tegra_ion.ko] undefined! ERROR: "ion_heap_destroy" [drivers/staging/android/ion/tegra/tegra_ion.ko] undefined! ERROR: "ion_device_destroy" [drivers/staging/android/ion/tegra/tegra_ion.ko] undefined! Export the above using the non GPL specific export, since that is what the rest of the ion code base does.

drivers/staging: make android timed_output.c explicitly non-modular

2015-10-13T04:12:17+00:00

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is: drivers/staging/android/Kconfig:config ANDROID_TIMED_OUTPUT drivers/staging/android/Kconfig: bool "Timed output class driver" ...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone. Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only. Since module_init translates to device_initcall in the non-modular case, the init ordering remains unchanged with this commit. We replace module.h with init.h and export.h ; the latter since this file does actually export some symbols. We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information is already contained at the top of the file in the comments.
