2012-11-16net-rps: Fix brokeness causing OOO packetsTom Herbert1-1/+3
In commit c445477d74ab3779 which adds aRFS to the kernel, the CPU selected for RFS is not set correctly when CPU is changing. This is causing OOO packets and probably other issues.

Included fixes are: - update the client entry status flags when using the "early client detection". This makes the Distributed AP isolation correctly work; - transfer the client entry status flags when recovering the translation table from another node. This makes the Distributed AP isolation correctly work; - prevent the "early client detection mechanism" to add clients belonging to other backbone nodes in the same LAN. This breaks connectivity when using this mechanism together with the Bridge Loop Avoidance - process broadcast packets with the Bridge Loop Avoidance before any other component. BLA can possibly drop the packets based on the source address. This makes the "early client detection mechanism" correctly work when used with BLA. Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-11-16mm, oom: reintroduce /proc/pid/oom_adjDavid Rientjes3-4/+130
This is mostly a revert of 01dc52ebdf47 ("oom: remove deprecated oom_adj") from Davidlohr Bueso. It reintroduces /proc/pid/oom_adj for backwards compatibility with earlier kernels. It simply scales the value linearly when /proc/pid/oom_score_adj is written. The major difference is that its scheduled removal is no longer included in Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt. We do warn users with a single printk, though, to suggest the more powerful and supported /proc/pid/oom_score_adj interface. Reported-by: Artem S.

2012-11-16Drivers: hv: Add Hyper-V balloon driverK. Y. Srinivasan3-0/+1048
Add the basic balloon driver. Windows hosts dynamically manage the guest memory allocation via a combination memory hot add and ballooning. Memory hot add is used to grow the guest memory upto the maximum memory that can be allocatted to the guest. Ballooning is used to both shrink as well as expand up to the max memory. Supporting hot add needs additional support from the host. We will support hot add when this support is available. For now, by setting the VM startup memory to the VM max memory, we can use ballooning alone to dynamically manage memory allocation amongst competing guests on a given host. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

It will be useful to be able to access global memory commitment from device drivers. On the Hyper-V platform, the host has a policy engine to balance the available physical memory amongst all competing virtual machines hosted on a given node. This policy engine is driven by a number of metrics including the memory commitment reported by the guests. The balloon driver for Linux on Hyper-V will use this function to retrieve guest memory commitment. This function is also used in Xen self ballooning code.
