2008-02-08hwmon: (lm78/w83781d) Probe fewer I2C addressesJean Delvare2-5/+5
We've never seen any device supported by the lm78 or w83781d driver at addresses 0x20-0x27, so let's stop probing these addresses. Extra probes cost time, and have potential for confusing or misdetecting other I2C devices. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Mark M. Hoffman <mhoffman@lightlink.com>

2008-02-07iget: remove iget() and the read_inode() super op as being obsoleteDavid Howells3-23/+9
Remove the old iget() call and the read_inode() superblock operation it uses as these are really obsolete, and the use of read_inode() does not produce proper error handling (no distinction between ENOMEM and EIO when marking an inode bad). Furthermore, this removes the temptation to use iget() to find an inode by number in a filesystem from code outside that filesystem. iget_locked() should be used instead. A new function is added in an earlier patch (iget_failed) that is to be called to mark an inode as bad, unlock it and release it should the get routine fail. Mark iget() and read_inode() as being obsolete and remove references to them from the documentation. Typically a filesystem will be modified such that the read_inode function becomes an internal iget function, for example the following: void thingyfs_read_inode(struct inode *inode) { ... } would be changed into something like: struct inode *thingyfs_iget(struct super_block *sp, unsigned long ino) { struct inode *inode; int ret; inode = iget_locked(sb, ino); if (!inode) return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); if (!(inode->i_state & I_NEW)) return inode; ... unlock_new_inode(inode); return inode; error: iget_failed(inode); return ERR_PTR(ret); } and then thingyfs_iget() would be called rather than iget(), for example: ret = -EINVAL; inode = iget(sb, ino); if (!inode || is_bad_inode(inode)) goto error; becomes: inode = thingyfs_iget(sb, ino); if (IS_ERR(inode)) { ret = PTR_ERR(inode); goto error; } Note that is_bad_inode() does not need to be called. The error returned by thingyfs_iget() should render it unnecessary.

2008-02-07oom: add sysctl to enable task memory dumpDavid Rientjes1-0/+22
Adds a new sysctl, 'oom_dump_tasks', that enables the kernel to produce a dump of all system tasks (excluding kernel threads) when performing an OOM-killing. Information includes pid, uid, tgid, vm size, rss, cpu, oom_adj score, and name. This is helpful for determining why there was an OOM condition and which rogue task caused it. It is configurable so that large systems, such as those with several thousand tasks, do not incur a performance penalty associated with dumping data they may not desire. If an OOM was triggered as a result of a memory controller, the tasklist shall be filtered to exclude tasks that are not a member of the same cgroup.

2008-02-07cgroups: move cgroups destroy() callbacks to cgroup_diput()Paul Menage1-11/+11
Move the calls to the cgroup subsystem destroy() methods from cgroup_rmdir() to cgroup_diput(). This allows control file reads and writes to access their subsystem state without having to be concerned with locking against cgroup destruction - the control file dentry will keep the cgroup and its subsystem state objects alive until the file is closed. The documentation is updated to reflect the changed semantics of destroy(); additionally the locking comments for destroy() and some other methods were clarified and decrustified.
