  • In commit a2c8990aed5ab ("memsw: remove noswapaccount kernel parameter"),
    Michal forgot to remove some left pieces of noswapaccount in the tree,
    this patch removes them all.

  • Commit bae9c19bf1 ("thp: split_huge_page_mm/vma") changed locking behavior
    of walk_page_range(). Thus this patch changes the comment too.

  • Originally, walk_hugetlb_range() didn't require a caller take any lock.
    But commit d33b9f45bd ("mm: hugetlb: fix hugepage memory leak in
    walk_page_range") changed its rule. Because it added find_vma() call in
    walk_hugetlb_range().

    Any locking-rule change commit should write a doc too.

  • Currently, walk_page_range() calls find_vma() every page table for walk
    iteration. but it's completely unnecessary if walk->hugetlb_entry is
    unused. And we don't have to assume find_vma() is a lightweight
    operation. So this patch checks the walk->hugetlb_entry and avoids the
    find_vma() call if possible.

    This patch also makes some cleanups. 1) remove ugly uninitialized_var()
    and 2) #ifdef in function body.

  • The doc of find_vma() says,

    /* Look up the first VMA which satisfies addr < vm_end, NULL if none. */
    struct vm_area_struct *find_vma(struct mm_struct *mm, unsigned long addr)
    {
    (snip)

    Thus, caller should confirm whether the returned vma matches a desired one.

  • Memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver. It should be mentioned
    that hotplugged memory is not onlined automatically. It should be onlined
    by user through standard sysfs interface.

    Memory could be hotplugged in following steps:

    1) dom0: xl mem-max
    where is >= requested memory size,

    2) dom0: xl mem-set
    where is requested memory size; alternatively memory
    could be added by writing proper value to
    /sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target or
    /sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target_kb on dumU,

    3) domU: for i in /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/state; do \
    [ "`cat "$i"`" = offline ] && echo online > "$i"; done

    Memory could be onlined automatically on domU by adding following line to
    udev rules:

    SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/bin/sh -c '[ -f /sys$devpath/state ] && echo online > /sys$devpath/state'"

    In that case step 3 should be omitted.

  • This patch contains online_page_callback and apropriate functions for
    registering/unregistering online page callbacks. It allows to do some
    machine specific tasks during online page stage which is required to
    implement memory hotplug in virtual machines. Currently this patch is
    required by latest memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver patch
    which will be posted soon.

    Additionally, originial online_page() function was splited into
    following functions doing "atomic" operations:

    - __online_page_set_limits() - set new limits for memory management code,
    - __online_page_increment_counters() - increment totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages,
    - __online_page_free() - free page to allocator.

    It was done to:
    - not duplicate existing code,
    - ease hotplug code devolpment by usage of well defined interface,
    - avoid stupid bugs which are unavoidable when the same code
    (by design) is developed in many places.

  • Since commit a19a6ee "backlight: Allow properties to be passed at
    registration" and commit bb7ca74 "backlight: add backlight type", we can
    set backlight type and max_brightness before backlights are registered.
    Some newly added drivers did not set it properly, let's fix it.

  • Vito said:

    : The system has many usb disks coming and going day to day, with their
    : respective bdi's having min_ratio set to 1 when inserted. It works for
    : some time until eventually min_ratio can no longer be set, even when the
    : active set of bdi's seen in /sys/class/bdi/*/min_ratio doesn't add up to
    : anywhere near 100.
    :
    : This then leads to an unrelated starvation problem caused by write-heavy
    : fuse mounts being used atop the usb disks, a problem the min_ratio setting
    : at the underlying devices bdi effectively prevents.

    Fix this leakage by resetting the bdi min_ratio when unregistering the
    BDI.

  • This:

    vma->vm_pgoff & ~(huge_page_mask(h) >> PAGE_SHIFT)

    is incorrect on 32-bit. It causes us to & the pgoff with something that
    looks like this (for a 4m hugepage): 0xfff003ff. The mask should be
    flipped and *then* shifted, to give you 0x0000_03fff.

  • If a semaphore array is removed and in parallel a sleeping task is woken
    up (signal or timeout, does not matter), then the woken up task does not
    wait until wake_up_sem_queue_do() is completed. This will cause crashes,
    because wake_up_sem_queue_do() will read from a stale pointer.

    The fix is simple: Regardless of anything, always call get_queue_result().
    This function waits until wake_up_sem_queue_do() has finished it's task.
