2008-02-19libata: eliminate the home grown dma padding in favour ofJames Bottomley1-27/+1
that provided by the block layer ATA requires that all DMA transfers begin and end on word boundaries. Because of this, a large amount of machinery grew up in ide to adjust scatterlists on this basis. However, as of 2.5, the block layer has a dma_alignment variable which ensures both the beginning and length of a DMA transfer are aligned on the dma_alignment boundary. Although the block layer does adjust the beginning of the transfer to ensure this happens, it doesn't actually adjust the length, it merely makes sure that space is allocated for transfers beyond the declared length. The upshot of this is that scatterlists may be padded to any size between the actual length and the length adjusted to the dma_alignment safely knowing that memory is allocated in this region. Right at the moment, SCSI takes the default dma_aligment which is on a 512 byte boundary. Note that this aligment only applies to transfers coming in from user space. However, since all kernel allocations are automatically aligned on a minimum of 32 byte boundaries, it is safe to adjust them in this manner as well. tj: * Adjusting sg after padding is done in block layer. Make libata set queue alignment correctly for ATAPI devices and drop broken sg mangling from ata_sg_setup(). * Use request->raw_data_len for ATAPI transfer chunk size. * Killed qc->raw_nbytes. * Separated out killing qc->n_iter.

2008-02-19block: implement request_queue->dma_drain_neededTejun Heo1-2/+5
Draining shouldn't be done for commands where overflow may indicate data integrity issues. Add dma_drain_needed callback to request_queue. Drain buffer is appened iff this function returns non-zero.

2008-02-19block: add request->raw_data_lenTejun Heo1-0/+1
With padding and draining moved into it, block layer now may extend requests as directed by queue parameters, so now a request has two sizes - the original request size and the extended size which matches the size of area pointed to by bios and later by sgs. The latter size is what lower layers are primarily interested in when allocating, filling up DMA tables and setting up the controller. Both padding and draining extend the data area to accomodate controller characteristics. As any controller which speaks SCSI can handle underflows, feeding larger data area is safe. So, this patch makes the primary data length field, request->data_len, indicate the size of full data area and add a separate length field, request->raw_data_len, for the unmodified request size. The latter is used to report to higher layer (userland) and where the original request size should be fed to the controller or device.

2008-02-15slub: Support 4k kmallocs again to compensate for page allocator slownessChristoph Lameter1-3/+3
Currently we hand off PAGE_SIZEd kmallocs to the page allocator in the mistaken belief that the page allocator can handle these allocations effectively. However, measurements indicate a minimum slowdown by the factor of 8 (and that is only SMP, NUMA is much worse) vs the slub fastpath which causes regressions in tbench. Increase the number of kmalloc caches by one so that we again handle 4k kmallocs directly from slub. 4k page buffering for the page allocator will be performed by slub like done by slab. At some point the page allocator fastpath should be fixed. A lot of the kernel would benefit from a faster ability to allocate a single page. If that is done then the 4k allocs may again be forwarded to the page allocator and this patch could be reverted.

2008-02-14Linux Kernel Markers: create modpost fileMathieu Desnoyers1-6/+3
This adds some new magic in the MODPOST phase for CONFIG_MARKERS. Analogous to the Module.symvers file, the build will now write a Module.markers file when CONFIG_MARKERS=y is set. This file lists the name, defining module, and format string of each marker, separated by \t characters. This simple text file can be used by offline build procedures for instrumentation code, analogous to how System.map and Module.symvers can be useful to have for kernels other than the one you are running right now. The strings are made easy to extract by having the __trace_mark macro define the name and format together in a single array called __mstrtab_* in the __markers_strings section. This is straightforward and reliable as long as the marker structs are always defined by this macro. It is an unreasonable amount of hairy work to extract the string pointers from the __markers section structs, which entails handling a relocation type for every machine under the sun.

2008-02-14Linux Kernel Markers: support multiple probesMathieu Desnoyers2-24/+37
RCU style multiple probes support for the Linux Kernel Markers. Common case (one probe) is still fast and does not require dynamic allocation or a supplementary pointer dereference on the fast path. - Move preempt disable from the marker site to the callback. Since we now have an internal callback, move the preempt disable/enable to the callback instead of the marker site. Since the callback change is done asynchronously (passing from a handler that supports arguments to a handler that does not setup the arguments is no arguments are passed), we can safely update it even if it is outside the preempt disable section. - Move probe arm to probe connection. Now, a connected probe is automatically armed. Remove MARK_MAX_FORMAT_LEN, unused. This patch modifies the Linux Kernel Markers API : it removes the probe "arm/disarm" and changes the probe function prototype : it now expects a va_list * instead of a "...". If we want to have more than one probe connected to a marker at a given time (LTTng, or blktrace, ssytemtap) then we need this patch. Without it, connecting a second probe handler to a marker will fail. It allow us, for instance, to do interesting combinations : Do standard tracing with LTTng and, eventually, to compute statistics with SystemTAP, or to have a special trigger on an event that would call a systemtap script which would stop flight recorder tracing.

2008-02-14moduleparam: fix alpha, ia64 and ppc64 compile failuresIvan Kokshaysky1-1/+11
On alpha, ia64 and ppc64 only relocations to local data can go into read-only sections. The vast majority of module parameters use the global generic param_set_*/param_get_* functions, so the 'const' attribute for struct kernel_param is not only useless, but it also causes compile failures due to 'section type conflict' in those rare cases where param_set/get are local functions.

2008-02-14hugetlb: fix overcommit lockingNishanth Aravamudan1-1/+1
proc_doulongvec_minmax() calls copy_to_user()/copy_from_user(), so we can't hold hugetlb_lock over the call. Use a dummy variable to store the sysctl result, like in hugetlb_sysctl_handler(), then grab the lock to update nr_overcommit_huge_pages.
