2012-01-10mm: add free_hot_cold_page_list() helperKonstantin Khlebnikov
This patch adds helper free_hot_cold_page_list() to free list of 0-order pages. It frees pages directly from list without temporary page-vector. It also calls trace_mm_pagevec_free() to simulate pagevec_free() behaviour. bloat-o-meter: add/remove: 1/1 grow/shrink: 1/3 up/down: 267/-295 (-28) function old new delta free_hot_cold_page_list - 264 +264 get_page_from_freelist 2129 2132 +3 __pagevec_free 243 239 -4 split_free_page 380 373 -7 release_pages 606 510 -96 free_page_list 188 - -188 Signed-off-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@openvz.org> Cc: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Cc: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: Minchan Kim <minchan.kim@gmail.com> Acked-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2012-01-10vmscan: activate executable pages after first usageKonstantin Khlebnikov
Logic added in commit 8cab4754d24a0 ("vmscan: make mapped executable pages the first class citizen") was noticeably weakened in commit 645747462435d84 ("vmscan: detect mapped file pages used only once"). Currently these pages can become "first class citizens" only after second usage. After this patch page_check_references() will activate they after first usage, and executable code gets yet better chance to stay in memory.

2012-01-10vmscan: promote shared file mapped pagesKonstantin Khlebnikov
Commit 645747462435 ("vmscan: detect mapped file pages used only once") greatly decreases lifetime of single-used mapped file pages. Unfortunately it also decreases life time of all shared mapped file pages. Because after commit bf3f3bc5e7347 ("mm: don't mark_page_accessed in fault path") page-fault handler does not mark page active or even referenced. Thus page_check_references() activates file page only if it was used twice while it stays in inactive list, meanwhile it activates anon pages after first access. Inactive list can be small enough, this way reclaimer can accidentally throw away any widely used page if it wasn't used twice in short period. After this patch page_check_references() also activate file mapped page at first inactive list scan if this page is already used multiple times via several ptes. I found this while trying to fix degragation in rhel6 (~2.6.32) from rhel5 (~2.6.18). There a complete mess with >100 web/mail/spam/ftp containers, they share all their files but there a lot of anonymous pages: ~500mb shared file mapped memory and 15-20Gb non-shared anonymous memory. In this situation major-pagefaults are very costly, because all containers share the same page. In my load kernel created a disproportionate pressure on the file memory, compared with the anonymous, they equaled only if I raise swappiness up to 150 =) These patches actually wasn't helped a lot in my problem, but I saw noticable (10-20 times) reduce in count and average time of major-pagefault in file-mapped areas. Actually both patches are fixes for commit v2.6.33-5448-g6457474, because it was aimed at one scenario (singly used pages), but it breaks the logic in other scenarios (shared and/or executable pages) Signed-off-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@openvz.org> Acked-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Acked-by: Minchan Kim <minchan.kim@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk> Cc: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Cc: Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@intel.com> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2012-01-10[media] cx231xx: fix crash after load/unload/load of moduleThomas Petazzoni
The following sequence of commands was triggering a kernel crash in cdev_get(): modprobe cx231xx rmmod cx231xx modprobe cx231xx v4l2grab -n 1 The problem was that cx231xx_usb_disconnect() was not doing anything because the test: if (!dev->udev) return; was reached (i.e, dev->udev was NULL). This is due to the fact that the 'dev' pointer placed as intfdata into the usb_interface structure had the wrong value, because cx231xx_probe() was doing the usb_set_intfdata() on the wrong usb_interface structure. For some reason, cx231xx_probe() was doing the following: static int cx231xx_usb_probe(struct usb_interface *interface, const struct usb_device_id *id) { struct usb_interface *lif = NULL; [...] /* store the current interface */ lif = interface; [...] /* store the interface 0 back */ lif = udev->actconfig->interface[0]; [...] usb_set_intfdata(lif, dev); [...] retval = v4l2_device_register(&interface->dev, &dev->v4l2_dev); [...] } So, the usb_set_intfdata() was done on udev->actconfig->interface[0] and not on the 'interface' passed as argument to the ->probe() and ->disconnect() hooks. Later on, v4l2_device_register() was initializing the intfdata of the correct usb_interface structure as a pointer to the v4l2_device structure. Upon unregistration, the ->disconnect() hook was getting the intfdata of the usb_interface passed as argument... and casted it to a 'struct cx231xx *' while it was in fact a 'struct v4l2_device *'. The correct fix seems to just be to set the intfdata on the proper interface from the beginning. Now, loading/unloading/reloading the driver allows to use the device properly.

2012-01-10[SCSI] bfa: Implement LUN Masking feature using the SCSI Slave Callouts.Krishna Gudipati
This patch re-implements LUN Masking feature using SCSI Slave Callouts. With the new design in the slave_alloc entry point; for each new LUN discovered we check with our internal LUN Masking config whether to expose or to mask this particular LUN. We return -ENXIO (No such device or address) from slave_alloc for the LUNs we don't want to be exposed. We also notify the SCSI mid-layer to do a sequential LUN scan rather than REPORT_LUNS based scan if LUN masking is enabled on our HBA port, since a -ENXIO from any LUN in REPORT_LUNS based scan translates to a scan abort. This patch also handles the dynamic lun masking config change from enable to disable or vice-versa by resetting sdev_bflags of LUN 0 appropriately.

2012-01-10ath9k: Fix regression in channelwidth switch at the same channelRajkumar Manoharan
The commit "ath9k: Fix invalid noisefloor reading due to channel update" preserves the current channel noisefloor readings before updating channel type at the same channel index. It is also updating the curchan pointer. As survey updation is also referring curchan pointer to fetch the appropriate index, which might leads to invalid memory access. This patch partially reverts the change and stores the noise floor history buffer before updating channel type w/o updating curchan.

2012-01-10brcm80211: Don't leak 'vbuffer' in brcmf_sdbrcm_write_vars()Jesper Juhl
If the memory allocation 'nvram_ularray = kmalloc(varsize, GFP_ATOMIC);' fails we'll leak the memory allocated to 'vbuffer' when we return -ENOMEM from the function. This patch resolves the leak by kfree()'ing the allocated memory before the return.

2012-01-10rtl8192se: Fix BUG caused by failure to check skb allocationLarry Finger
When downloading firmware into the device, the driver fails to check the return when allocating an skb. When the allocation fails, a BUG can be generated, as seen in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=771656.

2012-01-10NVMe: Simplify nvme_unmap_user_pagesMatthew Wilcox
By using the iod->nents field (the same way other I/O paths do), we can avoid recalculating the number of sg entries at unmap time, and make nvme_unmap_user_pages() easier to call. Also, use the 'write' parameter instead of assuming DMA_FROM_DEVICE. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <matthew.r.wilcox@intel.com>

2012-01-10NVMe: Fix DMA mapping for admin commandsMatthew Wilcox
We were always mapping as DMA_FROM_DEVICE then unmapping with DMA_TO_DEVICE which was clearly not correct. Follow the same pattern as nvme_submit_io() and key off the bottom bit of the opcode to determine whether this is a read or a write. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <matthew.r.wilcox@intel.com>

2012-01-10NVMe: Merge the nvme_bio and nvme_prp data structuresMatthew Wilcox
The new merged data structure is called nvme_iod. This improves performance for mid-sized I/Os (in the 16k range) since we save a memory allocation. It is also a slightly simpler interface to use. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <matthew.r.wilcox@intel.com>
