2009-01-01cpumask: convert kernel/cpu.cRusty Russell
Impact: Reduce kernel stack and memory usage, use new cpumask API. Use cpumask_var_t for take_cpu_down() stack var, and frozen_cpus. Note that notify_cpu_starting() can be called before core_initcall allocates frozen_cpus, but the NULL check is optimized out by gcc for the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n case. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2009-01-01cpumask: convert kernel/profile.cRusty Russell
Impact: Reduce kernel memory usage, use new cpumask API. Avoid a static cpumask_t for prof_cpu_mask, and an on-stack cpumask_t in prof_cpu_mask_write_proc. Both become cpumask_var_t. prof_cpu_mask is only allocated when profiling is on, but the NULL checks are optimized out by gcc for the !CPUMASK_OFFSTACK case. Also removed some strange and unnecessary casts. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2009-01-01cpumask: convert RCU implementationsRusty Russell
Impact: use new cpumask API. rcu_ctrlblk contains a cpumask, and it's highly optimized so I don't want a cpumask_var_t (ie. a pointer) for the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK case. It could use a dangling bitmap, and be allocated in __rcu_init to save memory, but for the moment we use a bitmap. (Eventually 'struct cpumask' will be undefined for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK, so we use a bitmap here to show we really mean it). We remove on-stack cpumasks, using cpumask_var_t for rcu_torture_shuffle_tasks() and for_each_cpu_and in force_quiescent_state(). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2009-01-01cpumask: convert kernel/irqRusty Russell
Impact: Reduce stack usage, use new cpumask API. ALPHA mod! Main change is that irq_default_affinity becomes a cpumask_var_t, so treat it as a pointer (this effects alpha). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2009-01-01cpumask: convert kernel time functionsRusty Russell
Impact: Use new APIs Convert kernel/time functions to use struct cpumask *. Note the ugly bitmap declarations in tick-broadcast.c. These should be cpumask_var_t, but there was no obvious initialization function to put the alloc_cpumask_var() calls in. This was safe. (Eventually 'struct cpumask' will be undefined for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK, so we use a bitmap here to show we really mean it). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: Mike Travis <travis@sgi.com>
2009-01-01cpumask: convert kernel/workqueue.cRusty Russell
Impact: Reduce memory usage, use new cpumask API. cpu_populated_map becomes a cpumask_var_t, and cpu_singlethread_map is simply a cpumask pointer: it's simply the cpumask containing the first possible CPU anyway. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2009-01-01cpumask: convert kernel/compat.cRusty Russell
Impact: Reduce stack usage, use new cpumask API. Straightforward conversion; cpumasks' size is given by cpumask_size() (now a variable rather than fixed) and on-stack cpu masks use cpumask_var_t. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2009-01-01cpumask: remove any_online_cpu() users: mm/Rusty Russell
Impact: Remove obsolete API usage any_online_cpu() is a good name, but it takes a cpumask_t, not a pointer. There are several places where any_online_cpu() doesn't really want a mask arg at all. Replace all callers with cpumask_any() and cpumask_any_and(). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: Mike Travis <travis@sgi.com>

2009-01-01cpumask: convert kernel trace functions furtherRusty Russell
Impact: Reduce future memory usage, use new cpumask API. Since the last patch was created and acked, more old cpumask users slipped into kernel/trace. Mostly trivial conversions, except struct trace_iterator's "started" member becomes a cpumask_var_t. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2009-01-01cpumask: convert kernel trace functionsRusty Russell
Impact: Reduce future memory usage, use new cpumask API. (Eventually, cpumask_var_t will be allocated based on nr_cpu_ids, not NR_CPUS). Convert kernel trace functions to use struct cpumask API: 1) Use cpumask_copy/cpumask_test_cpu/for_each_cpu. 2) Use cpumask_var_t and alloc_cpumask_var/free_cpumask_var everywhere. 3) Use on_each_cpu instead of playing with current->cpus_allowed.

2009-01-01bitmap: find_last_bit()Rusty Russell

2009-01-01parisc: remove gratuitous cpu_online_map declaration.Rusty Russell
This is defined in linux/cpumask.h (included in this file already), and this is now defined differently. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: linux-parisc@vger.kernel.org
2009-01-01cpumask: Use accessors code in coreRusty Russell
Impact: use new API cpu_*_map are going away in favour of cpu_*_mask, but const pointers. So we have accessors where we really do want to frob them. Archs will also need the (trivial) conversion before we can finally remove cpu_*_map. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: Mike Travis <travis@sgi.com>
2009-01-01cpumask: prepare for iterators to only go to nr_cpu_ids/nr_cpumask_bits.: coreRusty Russell
Impact: cleanup In future, all cpumask ops will only be valid (in general) for bit numbers < nr_cpu_ids. So use that instead of NR_CPUS in iterators and other comparisons. This is always safe: no cpu number can be >= nr_cpu_ids, and nr_cpu_ids is initialized to NR_CPUS at boot.

2008-12-31nfsd race fixes: ext2Al Viro
* make ext2_new_inode() put the inode into icache in locked state * do not unlock until the inode is fully set up; otherwise nfsd might pick it in half-baked state. * make sure that ext2_new_inode() does *not* lead to two inodes with the same inumber hashed at the same time; otherwise a bogus fhandle coming from nfsd might race with inode creation: nfsd: iget_locked() creates inode nfsd: try to read from disk, block on that. ext2_new_inode(): allocate inode with that inumber ext2_new_inode(): insert it into icache, set it up and dirty ext2_write_inode(): get the relevant part of inode table in cache, set the entry for our inode (and start writing to disk) nfsd: get CPU again, look into inode table, see nice and sane on-disk inode, set the in-core inode from it oops - we have two in-core inodes with the same inumber live in icache, both used for IO. Welcome to fs corruption... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2008-12-31nfsd/create race fixes, infrastructureAl Viro
new helpers - insert_inode_locked() and insert_inode_locked4(). Hash new inode, making sure that there's no such inode in icache already. If there is and it does not end up unhashed (as would happen if we have nfsd trying to resolve a bogus fhandle), fail. Otherwise insert our inode into hash and succeed. In either case have i_state set to new+locked; cleanup ends up being simpler with such calling conventions. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2008-12-31filesystem notification: create fs/notify to contain all fs notificationEric Paris
Creating a generic filesystem notification interface, fsnotify, which will be used by inotify, dnotify, and eventually fanotify is really starting to clutter the fs directory. This patch simply moves inotify and dnotify into fs/notify/inotify and fs/notify/dnotify respectively to make both current fs/ and future notification tidier.

2008-12-31fs/block_dev.c: __read_mostly improvement and sb_is_blkdev_sb utilizationDenis ChengRq

2008-12-31kill ->dir_notify()Al Viro
Remove the hopelessly misguided ->dir_notify(). The only instance (cifs) has been broken by design from the very beginning; the objects it creates are never destroyed, keep references to struct file they can outlive, nothing that could possibly evict them exists on close(2) path *and* no locking whatsoever is done to prevent races with close(), should the previous, er, deficiencies someday be dealt with.
