2011-05-25mtd: create function to perform large allocationsGrant Erickson
Introduce a common function to handle large, contiguous kmalloc buffer allocations by exponentially backing off on the size of the requested kernel transfer buffer until it succeeds or until the requested transfer buffer size falls below the page size. This helps ensure the operation can succeed under low-memory, highly- fragmented situations albeit somewhat more slowly. Artem: so this patch solves the problem that the kernel tries to kmalloc too large buffers, which (a) may fail and does fail - people complain about this, and (b) slows down the system in case of high memory fragmentation, because the kernel starts dropping caches, writing back, swapping, etc. But we do not really have to allocate a lot of memory to do the I/O, we may do this even with as little as one min. I/O unit (NAND page) of RAM. So the idea of this patch is that if the user asks to read or write a lot, we try to kmalloc a lot, with GFP flags which make the kernel _not_ drop caches, etc. If we can allocate it - good, if not - we try to allocate twice as less, and so on, until we reach the min. I/O unit size, which is our last resort allocation and use the normal GFP_KERNEL flag. Artem: re-write the allocation function so that it makes sure the allocated buffer is aligned to the min. I/O size of the flash.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2009-04-19mtd: expose subpage size via sysfsArtem Bityutskiy
MTD has got sysfs support in 2.6.30-rc1. But subpage size is not exposed there - do this. UBI utilities badly need this parameter. At the moment there is no way to get subpage size - ioctls do not return it. And we just got sysfs support, so we can easilly extend it with this additional parameter. This can be merged late in the development cycle because: 1. sysfs support has been just added - there are no users for it so far, even. 2. UBI utilities really need this parameter, and it is better not to delay this. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

2009-04-04[MTD] driver model updatesDavid Brownell
Update driver model support in the MTD framework, so it fits better into the current udev-based hotplug framework: - Each mtd_info now has a device node. MTD drivers should set the dev.parent field to point to the physical device, before setting up partitions or otherwise declaring MTDs. - Those device nodes always map to /sys/class/mtdX device nodes, which no longer depend on MTD_CHARDEV. - Those mtdX sysfs nodes have a "starter set" of attributes; it's not yet sufficient to replace /proc/mtd. - Enabling MTD_CHARDEV provides /sys/class/mtdXro/ nodes and the /sys/class/mtd*/dev attributes (for udev, mdev, etc). - Include a MODULE_ALIAS_CHARDEV_MAJOR macro. It'll work with udev creating the /dev/mtd* nodes, not just a static rootfs. So the sysfs structure is pretty much what you'd expect, except that readonly chardev nodes are a bit quirky.

2008-12-10[MTD] update internal API to support 64-bit device sizeAdrian Hunter
MTD internal API presently uses 32-bit values to represent device size. This patch updates them to 64-bits but leaves the external API unchanged. Extending the external API is a separate issue for several reasons. First, no one needs it at the moment. Secondly, whether the implementation is done with IOCTLs, sysfs or both is still debated. Thirdly external API changes require the internal API to be accepted first. Note that although the MTD API will be able to support 64-bit device sizes, existing drivers do not and are not required to do so, although NAND base has been updated. In general, changing from 32-bit to 64-bit values cause little or no changes to the majority of the code with the following exceptions: - printk message formats - division and modulus of 64-bit values - NAND base support - 32-bit local variables used by mtdpart and mtdconcat - naughtily assuming one structure maps to another in MEMERASE ioctl Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <ext-adrian.hunter@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

2007-02-14[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.hTim Schmielau
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.

2006-11-29[MTD] Use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() for exported symbols.David Woodhouse
While we're fixing up the newly-added symbol, change the neighbouring ones too, for consistency and also to reflect the author's interpretation of the GPL -- which is that _no_ non-GPL modules are permitted. The author always intended his code to be released under the GPL, and believes that any new interpretation of 'EXPORT_SYMBOL' as being any different from 'EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL' is entirely invalid; the GPL requires that _all_ exports have the semantics of the new 'EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL', which means the extra four characters are entirely redundant. But since those four extra characters trigger the check for illegal modules in a way that just EXPORT_SYMBOL does not, it's useful to change anyway. This action in no way indicates an admission that there is any legal distinction between the two states, and in particular does not indicate that the author believes that non-GPL modules may use symbols exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL alone.

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.
