2007-05-21Detach sched.h from mm.hAlexey Dobriyan13-9/+18
First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock() mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why. This patch a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly. e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were getting them indirectly Net result is: a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if they don't need sched.h b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files: on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files, after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

warnings Throughout the kernel there are a few legitimite references to init or exit sections. Most of these are covered by the patterns included in modpost but a few nees special attention.

As pointed out by Jarek Poplawski, the patch [WORKQUEUE]: cancel_delayed_work: use del_timer() instead of del_timer_sync() commit: 071b638689464c6b39407025eedd810d5b5e6f5d was wrong, it was merged by mistake after that. From the changelog: after this patch: ... delayed_work_timer_fn->__queue_work() in progress. The latter doesn't differ from the caller's POV, it does make a difference if the caller calls flush_workqueue() after cancel_delayed_work(), in that case flush_workqueue() can miss this work_struct.

2007-05-17acpi: fix potential call to a freed memory section.Aaron Durbin1-5/+2
Strip __cpuinit[data] from Node <-> PXM routines and supporting data structures. Also make pxm_to_node_map and node_to_pxm_map local to the numa acpi module. This fixes a bug triggered by the following conditions: - boot on a machine with a SLIT table defined - kernel is configured w/ CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n - cat /sys/devices/system/node/node*/distance This will cause an oops by calling into a freed memory section. In particular, on x86_64, __node_distance calls node_to_pxm().

2007-05-17Slab allocators: define common size limitationsChristoph Lameter3-22/+32
Currently we have a maze of configuration variables that determine the maximum slab size. Worst of all it seems to vary between SLAB and SLUB. So define a common maximum size for kmalloc. For conveniences sake we use the maximum size ever supported which is 32 MB. We limit the maximum size to a lower limit if MAX_ORDER does not allow such large allocations. For many architectures this patch will have the effect of adding large kmalloc sizes. x86_64 adds 5 new kmalloc sizes. So a small amount of memory will be needed for these caches (contemporary SLAB has dynamically sizeable node and cpu structure so the waste is less than in the past) Most architectures will then be able to allocate object with sizes up to MAX_ORDER. We have had repeated breakage (in fact whenever we doubled the number of supported processors) on IA64 because one or the other struct grew beyond what the slab allocators supported. This will avoid future issues and f.e. avoid fixes for 2k and 4k cpu support. CONFIG_LARGE_ALLOCS is no longer necessary so drop it. It fixes sparc64 with SLAB.
