2011-01-13mm/dmapool.c: use TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE in dma_pool_alloc()Andrew Morton1-1/+1
As it stands this code will degenerate into a busy-wait if the calling task has signal_pending(). Cc: Rolf Eike Beer <eike-kernel@sf-tec.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2011-01-13mm/dmapool.c: take lock only once in dma_pool_free()Rolf Eike Beer1-8/+6
dma_pool_free() scans for the page to free in the pool list holding the pool lock. Then it releases the lock basically to acquire it immediately again. Modify the code to only take the lock once. This will do some additional loops and computations with the lock held in if memory debugging is activated. If it is not activated the only new operations with this lock is one if and one substraction.

2010-10-26mm: add a might_sleep_if() to dma_pool_alloc()Dima Zavin1-0/+2
Buggy drivers (e.g. fsl_udc) could call dma_pool_alloc from atomic context with GFP_KERNEL. In most instances, the first pool_alloc_page call would succeed and the sleeping functions would never be called. This allowed the buggy drivers to slip through the cracks. Add a might_sleep_if() checking for __GFP_WAIT in flags.

2009-06-30dmapools: protect page_list walk in show_pools()Thomas Gleixner1-0/+2
show_pools() walks the page_list of a pool w/o protection against the list modifications in alloc/free. Take pool->lock to avoid stomping into nirvana.

2008-04-28dmapool: enable debugging for CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON tooAndi Kleen1-4/+8
Previously it was only enabled for CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB. Not hooked into the slub runtime debug configuration, so you currently only get it with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON, not plain CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG Acked-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2007-12-04pool: Improve memory usage for devices which can't cross boundariesMatthew Wilcox1-16/+20
The previous implementation simply refused to allocate more than a boundary's worth of data from an entire page. Some users didn't know this, so specified things like SMP_CACHE_BYTES, not realising the horrible waste of memory that this was. It's fairly easy to correct this problem, just by ensuring we don't cross a boundary within a page. This even helps drivers like EHCI (which can't cross a 4k boundary) on machines with larger page sizes. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: David S.

2007-12-04Change dmapool free block managementMatthew Wilcox1-61/+58
Use a list of free blocks within a page instead of using a bitmap. Update documentation to reflect this. As well as being a slight reduction in memory allocation, locked ops and lines of code, it speeds up a transaction processing benchmark by 0.4%. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@linux.intel.com>
2007-12-04dmapool: Tidy up includes and add commentsMatthew Wilcox1-10/+30
We were missing a copyright statement and license, so add GPLv2, David Brownell's copyright and my copyright. The asm/io.h include was superfluous, but we were missing a few other necessary includes. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@linux.intel.com>
2007-12-04dmapool: Validate parameters to dma_pool_createMatthew Wilcox1-7/+8
Check that 'align' is a power of two, like the API specifies. Align 'size' to 'align' correctly -- the current code has an off-by-one. The ALIGN macro in kernel.h doesn't. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-12-04Avoid taking waitqueue lock in dmapoolMatthew Wilcox1-4/+5
With one trivial change (taking the lock slightly earlier on wakeup from schedule), all uses of the waitq are under the pool lock, so we can use the locked (or __) versions of the wait queue functions, and avoid the extra spinlock.
