2013-02-28dmaengine: dw_dmac: move to generic DMA bindingArnd Bergmann
The original device tree binding for this driver, from Viresh Kumar unfortunately conflicted with the generic DMA binding, and did not allow to completely seperate slave device configuration from the controller. This is an attempt to replace it with an implementation of the generic binding, but it is currently completely untested, because I do not have any hardware with this particular controller. The patch applies on top of the slave-dma tree, which contains both the base support for the generic DMA binding, as well as the earlier attempt from Viresh. Both of these are currently not merged upstream however. This version incorporates feedback from Viresh Kumar, Andy Shevchenko and Russell King.

2013-02-27nbd: update documentation and link to mailinglistWouter Verhelst
Documentation/blockdev/nbd.txt contained some documentation which was horribly outdated and probably still dates from the original patch that added NBD support to the kernel. This patch removes the useless and outdated bits. The tools on nbd.sf.net are fully documented in manpages, which is where documentation for the non-kernel bits should live. Additionally, add a reference to the MAINTAINERS file for the nbd-general mailinglist that is used for discussion of the userland tools and the kernel module already.

2013-02-27dma-buf: implement vmap refcounting in the interface logicDaniel Vetter
All drivers which implement this need to have some sort of refcount to allow concurrent vmap usage. Hence implement this in the dma-buf core. To protect against concurrent calls we need a lock, which potentially causes new funny locking inversions. But this shouldn't be a problem for exporters with statically allocated backing storage, and more dynamic drivers have decent issues already anyway. Inspired by some refactoring patches from Aaron Plattner, who implemented the same idea, but only for drm/prime drivers. v2: Check in dma_buf_release that no dangling vmaps are left. Suggested by Aaron Plattner. We might want to do similar checks for attachments, but that's for another patch. Also fix up ERR_PTR return for vmap. v3: Check whether the passed-in vmap address matches with the cached one for vunmap. Eventually we might want to remove that parameter - compared to the kmap functions there's no need for the vaddr for unmapping. Suggested by Chris Wilson. v4: Fix a brown-paper-bag bug spotted by Aaron Plattner.

2013-02-26vfs: kill FS_REVAL_DOT by adding a d_weak_revalidate dentry opJeff Layton
The following set of operations on a NFS client and server will cause server# mkdir a client# cd a server# mv a a.bak client# sleep 30 # (or whatever the dir attrcache timeout is) client# stat . stat: cannot stat `.': Stale NFS file handle Obviously, we should not be getting an ESTALE error back there since the inode still exists on the server. The problem is that the lookup code will call d_revalidate on the dentry that "." refers to, because NFS has FS_REVAL_DOT set. nfs_lookup_revalidate will see that the parent directory has changed and will try to reverify the dentry by redoing a LOOKUP. That of course fails, so the lookup code returns ESTALE. The problem here is that d_revalidate is really a bad fit for this case. What we really want to know at this point is whether the inode is still good or not, but we don't really care what name it goes by or whether the dcache is still valid. Add a new d_op->d_weak_revalidate operation and have complete_walk call that instead of d_revalidate. The intent there is to allow for a "weaker" d_revalidate that just checks to see whether the inode is still good. This is also gives us an opportunity to kill off the FS_REVAL_DOT special casing.

DM RAID: Add support for MD's RAID10 "far" and "offset" algorithms Until now, dm-raid.c only supported the "near" algorthm of MD's RAID10 implementation. This patch adds support for the "far" and "offset" algorithms, but only with the improved redundancy that is brought with the introduction of the 'use_far_sets' bit, which shifts copied stripes according to smaller sets vs the entire array. That is, the 17th bit of the 'layout' variable that defines the RAID10 implementation will always be set. (More information on how the 'layout' variable selects the RAID10 algorithm can be found in the opening comments of drivers/md/raid10.c.)

I do my best to document that if you care about limiting your unprivileged users that when you have the user namespace support enabled you will need to enable memory control groups. There is a minor bug fix to prevent overflowing the stack if someone creates way too many user namespaces. The bulk of the changes are a continuation of the kuid/kgid push down work through the filesystems. These changes make using uids and gids typesafe which ensures that these filesystems are safe to use when multiple user namespaces are in use. The filesystems converted for 3.9 are ceph, 9p, afs, ocfs2, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, and cifs. The changes for these filesystems were a little more involved so I split the changes into smaller hopefully obviously correct changes. XFS is the only filesystem that remains.

This eliminates the need for special case code for SD slots that should never be write protected (like a micro SD slot or a dev board). The dw_mmc driver is special in needing to specify "disable-wp" because the lack of a "wp-gpios" property means to use the special purpose write protect line. On some other mmc devices the lack of "wp-gpios" means that write protect should be disabled.

2013-02-23ksm: allow trees per NUMA nodePetr Holasek
Here's a KSM series, based on mmotm 2013-01-23-17-04: starting with Petr's v7 "KSM: numa awareness sysfs knob"; then fixing the two issues we had with that, fully enabling KSM page migration on the way. (A different kind of KSM/NUMA issue which I've certainly not begun to address here: when KSM pages are unmerged, there's usually no sense in preferring to allocate the new pages local to the caller's node.) This patch: Introduces new sysfs boolean knob /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/merge_across_nodes which control merging pages across different numa nodes. When it is set to zero only pages from the same node are merged, otherwise pages from all nodes can be merged together (default behavior). Typical use-case could be a lot of KVM guests on NUMA machine and cpus from more distant nodes would have significant increase of access latency to the merged ksm page. Sysfs knob was choosen for higher variability when some users still prefers higher amount of saved physical memory regardless of access latency. Every numa node has its own stable & unstable trees because of faster searching and inserting. Changing of merge_across_nodes value is possible only when there are not any ksm shared pages in system. I've tested this patch on numa machines with 2, 4 and 8 nodes and measured speed of memory access inside of KVM guests with memory pinned to one of nodes with this benchmark: http://pholasek.fedorapeople.org/alloc_pg.c Population standard deviations of access times in percentage of average were following: merge_across_nodes=1 2 nodes 1.4% 4 nodes 1.6% 8 nodes 1.7% merge_across_nodes=0 2 nodes 1% 4 nodes 0.32% 8 nodes 0.018% RFC: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/30/91 v1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/23/46 v2: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/29/105 v3: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/14/550 v4: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/23/137 v5: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/540 v6: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/23/154 v7: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/27/225 Hugh notes that this patch brings two problems, whose solution needs further support in mm/ksm.c, which follows in subsequent patches: 1) switching merge_across_nodes after running KSM is liable to oops on stale nodes still left over from the previous stable tree; 2) memory hotremove may migrate KSM pages, but there is no provision here for !merge_across_nodes to migrate nodes to the proper tree.

2013-02-23acpi, memory-hotplug: support getting hotplug info from SRATTang Chen
We now provide an option for users who don't want to specify physical memory address in kernel commandline. /* * For movablemem_map=acpi: * * SRAT: |_____| |_____| |_________| |_________| ...... * node id: 0 1 1 2 * hotpluggable: n y y n * movablemem_map: |_____| |_________| * * Using movablemem_map, we can prevent memblock from allocating memory * on ZONE_MOVABLE at boot time. */ So user just specify movablemem_map=acpi, and the kernel will use hotpluggable info in SRAT to determine which memory ranges should be set as ZONE_MOVABLE. If all the memory ranges in SRAT is hotpluggable, then no memory can be used by kernel. But before parsing SRAT, memblock has already reserve some memory ranges for other purposes, such as for kernel image, and so on. We cannot prevent kernel from using these memory. So we need to exclude these ranges even if these memory is hotpluggable. Furthermore, there could be several memory ranges in the single node which the kernel resides in. We may skip one range that have memory reserved by memblock, but if the rest of memory is too small, then the kernel will fail to boot. So, make the whole node which the kernel resides in un-hotpluggable. Then the kernel has enough memory to use. NOTE: Using this way will cause NUMA performance down because the whole node will be set as ZONE_MOVABLE, and kernel cannot use memory on it. If users don't want to lose NUMA performance, just don't use it.

The other notable change is the clean up of the seqlock implementation to be based on the seqcount infrastructure.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 microcode loading update from Peter Anvin: "This patchset lets us update the CPU microcode very, very early in initialization if the BIOS fails to do so (never happens, right?) This is handy for dealing with things like the Atom erratum where we have to run without PSE because microcode loading happens too late. As I mentioned in the x86/mm push request it depends on that infrastructure but it is otherwise a standalone feature." * 'x86/microcode' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/Kconfig: Make early microcode loading a configuration feature x86/mm/init.c: Copy ucode from initrd image to kernel memory x86/head64.c: Early update ucode in 64-bit x86/head_32.S: Early update ucode in 32-bit x86/microcode_intel_early.c: Early update ucode on Intel's CPU x86/tlbflush.h: Define __native_flush_tlb_global_irq_disabled() x86/microcode_intel_lib.c: Early update ucode on Intel's CPU x86/microcode_core_early.c: Define interfaces for early loading ucode x86/common.c: load ucode in 64 bit or show loading ucode info in 32 bit on AP x86/common.c: Make have_cpuid_p() a global function x86/microcode_intel.h: Define functions and macros for early loading ucode x86, doc: Documentation for early microcode loading
