2009-02-10Do not account for the address space used by hugetlbfs using VM_ACCOUNTMel Gorman8-43/+65
When overcommit is disabled, the core VM accounts for pages used by anonymous shared, private mappings and special mappings. It keeps track of VMAs that should be accounted for with VM_ACCOUNT and VMAs that never had a reserve with VM_NORESERVE. Overcommit for hugetlbfs is much riskier than overcommit for base pages due to contiguity requirements. It avoids overcommiting on both shared and private mappings using reservation counters that are checked and updated during mmap(). This ensures (within limits) that hugepages exist in the future when faults occurs or it is too easy to applications to be SIGKILLed. As hugetlbfs makes its own reservations of a different unit to the base page size, VM_ACCOUNT should never be set. Even if the units were correct, we would double account for the usage in the core VM and hugetlbfs. VM_NORESERVE may be set because an application can request no reserves be made for hugetlbfs at the risk of getting killed later. With commit fc8744adc870a8d4366908221508bb113d8b72ee, VM_NORESERVE and VM_ACCOUNT are getting unconditionally set for hugetlbfs-backed mappings. This breaks the accounting for both the core VM and hugetlbfs, can trigger an OOM storm when hugepage pools are too small lockups and corrupted counters otherwise are used. This patch brings hugetlbfs more in line with how the core VM treats VM_NORESERVE but prevents VM_ACCOUNT being set.

2009-02-09Btrfs: don't use spin_is_contendedChris Mason3-26/+1
Btrfs was using spin_is_contended to see if it should drop locks before doing extent allocations during btrfs_search_slot. The idea was to avoid expensive searches in the tree unless the lock was actually contended. But, spin_is_contended is specific to the ticket spinlocks on x86, so this is causing compile errors everywhere else. In practice, the contention could easily appear some time after we started doing the extent allocation, and it makes more sense to always drop the lock instead.

Freescale QE UDC controllers can't report the "port change" states, so the only way to handle disconnects is to process bus reset interrupts. The bus reset can take some time, that is, few irqs. Gadgets may print the disconnection events, and this causes few repetitive messages in the kernel log. This patch fixes the issue by using the usb_state machine, if the usb controller has been already reset, just quit the reset irq early.

2009-02-09lockd: fix regression in lockd's handling of blocked locksJ. Bruce Fields1-1/+5
If a client requests a blocking lock, is denied, then requests it again, then here in nlmsvc_lock() we will call vfs_lock_file() without FL_SLEEP set, because we've already queued a block and don't need the locks code to do it again. But that means vfs_lock_file() will return -EAGAIN instead of FILE_LOCK_DENIED. So we still need to translate that -EAGAIN return into a nlm_lck_blocked error in this case, and put ourselves back on lockd's block list. The bug was introduced by bde74e4bc64415b1 "locks: add special return value for asynchronous locks".

2009-02-08radeonfb: Fix resume from D3Cold on some platformsBenjamin Herrenschmidt2-67/+20
For historical reason, this driver used its own saving/restoring of the PCI config space, and used the state of it on resume as an indication as to whether it needed to re-POST the chip or not. This methods breaks with the later core changes since the core will have restored things for us. This patch fixes it by removing that custom code, using standard core methods to save/restore state, and testing for the need to re-POST by comparing the content of a few key PLL registers.

Migration helper. The i915 driver recently added a 'depends on FB' rule to its Kconfig entry - which silently turns off DRM_I915 if someone has a working config but no CONFIG_FB selected, and upgrades to the latest upstream kernel. Norbert Preining reported this problem: Bug-Entry : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12599 Subject : dri /dev node disappeared with 2.6.29-rc1 So change it to "select FB", which auto-selects framebuffer support. This way the driver keeps working, regardless of whether FB was enabled before or not. Kconfig select's of interactive options can be problematic to dependencies and can cause build breakages - but in this case it's safe because it's a leaf entry with no dependencies of its own. ( There is some minor circular dependency fallout as FB_I810 and FB_INTEL also used 'depends on FB' constructs - update those to "select FB" too. ) Reported-by: Norbert Preining <preining@logic.at> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@linux.ie>
2009-02-08drm/i915: add get_vblank_counter function for GM45Jesse Barnes5-1/+24
As discussed in the long thread about vblank related timeouts, it turns out GM45 has different frame count registers than previous chips. This patch adds support for them, which prevents us from waiting on really stale sequence values in drm_wait_vblank (which rather than returning immediately ends up timing out or getting interrupted).
