cpu_relax() is documented in volatile-considered-harmful.txt to be a
memory barrier. However, everyone with the exception of Blackfin and
possibly ia64 defines cpu_relax() to be a compiler barrier.Make the documentation reflect the general concensus.
Linus sayeth:
: I don't think it was ever the intention that it would be seen as anything
: but a compiler barrier, although it is obviously implied that it might
: well perform some per-architecture actions that have "memory barrier-like"
: semantics.
:
: After all, the whole and only point of the "cpu_relax()" thing is to tell
: the CPU that we're busy-looping on some event.
:
: And that "event" might be (and often is) about reading the same memory
: location over and over until it changes to what we want it to be. So it's
: quite possible that on various architectures the "cpu_relax()" could be
: about making sure that such a tight loop on loads doesn't starve cache
: transactions, for example - and as such look a bit like a memory barrier
: from a CPU standpoint.
:
: But it's not meant to have any kind of architectural memory ordering
: semantics as far as the kernel is concerned - those must come from other
: sources.Signed-off-by: Russell King

dma_set_coherent_mask corresponds to pci_set_consistent_dma_mask. This is
necessary to move to the generic device model DMA API from the PCI bus
specific API in the long term.dma_set_coherent_mask works in the exact same way that
pci_set_consistent_dma_mask does. So this patch also changes
pci_set_consistent_dma_mask to call dma_set_coherent_mask.Signed-off-by: FUJITA Tomonori

dma_sync_single_for_cpu/for_device supports a partial sync so there is no
point to have dma_sync_single_range (also dma_sync_single was obsoleted
long ago, replaced with dma_sync_single_for_cpu/for_device).There is no user of dma_sync_single_range() in mainline and only Alpha
architecture supports dma_sync_single_range(). So it's unlikely that

dma_sync_sg_for_cpu

pci_dma_sync_sg_for_deviceIt was unclear that the API permits a partial sync (some network drivers
already do though). I made it clear that the sync_single API can do a
partial sync but the sync_sg API can't.We could do a partial sync with the sync_sg API too, however, it's
difficult for driver writers to correctly use the sync_sg API for a
partial sync since the scatterlists passed in to the mapping API can't be
modified. It's unlikely that driver writers want to do a partial sync
with the sync_sg API (because the sync_sg API are usually used for block
drivers). So I think that it's better to forbid a partial sync with the
sync_sg API.Signed-off-by: FUJITA Tomonori

In some cases kipmid can use a lot of CPU. This adds a way to tune the
CPU used by kipmid to help in those cases. By setting kipmid_max_busy_us
to a value between 100 and 500, it is possible to bring down kipmid CPU
load to practically 0 without loosing too much ipmi throughput
performance. Not setting the value, or setting the value to zero,
operation is unaffected.Signed-off-by: Martin Wilck

Presently, if panic_on_oom=2, the whole system panics even if the oom
happend in some special situation (as cpuset, mempolicy....). Then,
panic_on_oom=2 means painc_on_oom_always.Now, memcg doesn't check panic_on_oom flag. This patch adds a check.
BTW, how it's useful ?
kdump+panic_on_oom=2 is the last tool to investigate what happens in
oom-ed system. When a task is killed, the sysytem recovers and there will
be few hint to know what happnes. In mission critical system, oom should
never happen. Then, panic_on_oom=2+kdump is useful to avoid next OOM by
knowing precise information via snapshot.TODO:
- For memcg, it's for isolate system's memory usage, oom-notiifer and
freeze_at_oom (or rest_at_oom) should be implemented. Then, management
daemon can do similar jobs (as kdump) or taking snapshot per cgroup.Signed-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki

It allows to register multiple memory and memsw thresholds and gets
notifications when it crosses.To register a threshold application need:
- create an eventfd;
- open memory.usage_in_bytes or memory.memsw.usage_in_bytes;
- write string like " " to
cgroup.event_control.Application will be notified through eventfd when memory usage crosses
threshold in any direction.It's applicable for root and non-root cgroup.
It uses stats to track memory usage, simmilar to soft limits. It checks
if we need to send event to userspace on every 100 page in/out. I guess
it's good compromise between performance and accuracy of thresholds.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes]

Introduce the write-only file "cgroup.event_control" in every cgroup.
To register new notification handler you need:
- create an eventfd;
- open a control file to be monitored. Callbacks register_event() and
unregister_event() must be defined for the control file;
- write " " to cgroup.event_control.
Interpretation of args is defined by control file implementation;eventfd will be woken up by control file implementation or when the
cgroup is removed.To unregister notification handler just close eventfd.
If you need notification functionality for a control file you have to
implement callbacks register_event() and unregister_event() in the
struct cftype.[kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com: Kconfig fix]
