2011-07-30m68k/atari: Reserve some ST-RAM early on for device buffer useMichael Schmitz
Based on an original patch from Michael Schmitz: Because mem_init() is now called before device init, devices that rely on ST-RAM may find all ST-RAM already allocated to other users by the time device init happens. In particular, a large initrd RAM disk may use up enough of ST-RAM to cause atari_stram_alloc() to resort to __get_dma_pages() allocation. In the current state of Atari memory management, all of RAM is marked DMA capable, so __get_dma_pages() may well return RAM that is not in actual fact DMA capable. Using this for frame buffer or SCSI DMA buffer causes subtle failure. The ST-RAM allocator has been changed to allocate memory from a pool of reserved ST-RAM of configurable size, set aside on ST-RAM init (i.e. before mem_init()). As long as this pool is not exhausted, allocation of real ST-RAM can be guaranteed. Other changes: - Replace the custom allocator in the ST-RAM pool by the existing allocator in the resource subsystem, - Remove mem_init_done and its hook, as memory init is now done before device init, - Remove /proc/stram, as ST-RAM usage now shows up under /proc/iomem, e.g. 005f2000-006f1fff : ST-RAM Pool 005f2000-0063dfff : atafb 0063e000-00641fff : ataflop 00642000-00642fff : SCSI Signed-off-by: Michael Schmitz <schmitz@debian.org> [Andreas Schwab <schwab@linux-m68k.org>: Use memparse()] [Geert: Use the resource subsystem instead of a custom allocator] Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org>

2008-04-18arch: Remove unnecessary inclusions of asm/semaphore.hMatthew Wilcox
None of these files use any of the functionality promised by asm/semaphore.h. It's possible that they rely on it dragging in some unrelated header file, but I can't build all these files, so we'll have fix any build failures as they come up. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@linux.intel.com>
2008-02-07Introduce flags for reserve_bootmem()Bernhard Walle
This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions between crashkernel area and already used memory. This patch: Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE. If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already has been reserved in the past. This is to avoid conflicts. Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition inside reserve_bootmem_core().

2005-10-29[PATCH] mm: m68k kill stram swapHugh Dickins
Please, please now delete the Atari CONFIG_STRAM_SWAP code. It may be excellent and ingenious code, but its reference to swap_vfsmnt betrays that it hasn't been built since 2.5.1 (four years old come December), it's delving deep into matters which are the preserve of core mm code, its only purpose is to give the more conscientious mm guys an anxiety attack from time to time; yet we keep on breaking it more and more. If you want to use RAM for swap, then if the MTD driver does not already provide just what you need, I'm sure David could be persuaded to add the extra. But you'd also like to be able to allocate extents of that swap for other use: we can give you a core interface for that if you need. But unbuilt for four years suggests to me that there's no need at all. I cannot swear the patch below won't break your build, but believe so.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
