  • module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int. In
    fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy
    trick.

    It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option. For this version
    it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version.

  • For historical reasons, we allow module_param(bool) to take an int (or
    an unsigned int). That's going away.

    A few drivers really want an int: they set it to -1 and a parameter
    will set it to 0 or 1. This sucks: reading them from sysfs will give
    'Y' for both -1 and 1, but if we change it to an int, then the users
    might be broken (if they did "param" instead of "param=1").

    Use a new 'bint' parser for them.

    (ntfs has a different problem: it needs an int for debug_msgs because
    it's also exposed via sysctl.)

  • Recent tools do not want to use /proc to retrieve module information. A few
    values are currently missing from sysfs to replace the information available
    in /proc/modules.

    This adds /sys/module/*/{coresize,initsize,taint} attributes.

    TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE (P) and TAINT_OOT_MODULE (O) flags are both always
    shown now, and do no longer exclude each other, also in /proc/modules.

    Replace the open-coded sysfs attribute initializers with the __ATTR() macro.

    Add the new attributes to Documentation/ABI.

  • module_ref contains two "unsigned int" fields.

    Thats now too small, since some machines can open more than 2^32 files.

    Check commit 518de9b39e8 (fs: allow for more than 2^31 files) for

    alloc_percpu() allocating module_ref areas in single cache lines.

  • Looking at /proc/kallsyms, one starts to ponder whether all of the extra
    strtab-related complexity in module.c is worth the memory savings.

    Instead of making the add_kallsyms() loop even more complex, I tried the
    other route of deleting the strmap logic and naively copying each string
    into core_strtab with no consideration for consolidating duplicates.

    Performance on an "already exists" insmod of nvidia.ko (runs
    add_kallsyms() but does not actually initialize the module):

    Original scheme: 1.230s
    With naive copying: 0.058s

    Extra space used: 35k (of a 408k module).

  • It appears that you can only read the sprom contents with aligned 16-bit
    reads: anything else causes at least some versions of the broadcom
    chipset to abort the PCI transaction, returning 0xff.

    This apparently doesn't trigger very often, because most setups don't
    use an external srom chip, and the OTP sprom loading doesn't have this
    issue. But at least the current 11" Macbook Air does trigger it, and
    wireless communications were broken as a result.

  • Handling balloon hibernate / restore is tricky. If the balloon was
    inflated before going into the hibernation state, upon resume, the host
    will not have any memory of that. Any pages that were passed on to the
    host earlier would most likely be invalid, and the host will have to
    re-balloon to the previous value to get in the pre-hibernate state.

    So the only sane thing for the guest to do here is to discard all the
    pages that were put in the balloon. When to discard the pages is the
    next question.

    One solution is to deflate the balloon just before writing the image to
    the disk (in the freeze() PM callback). However, asking for pages from
    the host just to discard them immediately after seems wasteful of
    resources. Hence, it makes sense to do this by just fudging our
    counters soon after wakeup. This means we don't deflate the balloon
    before sleep, and also don't put unnecessary pressure on the host.

    This also helps in the thaw case: if the freeze fails for whatever
    reason, the balloon should continue to remain in the inflated state.
    This was tested by issuing 'swapoff -a' and trying to go into the S4
    state. That fails, and the balloon stays inflated, as expected. Both
    the host and the guest are happy.

    Finally, in the restore() callback, we empty the list of pages that were
    previously given off to the host, add the appropriate number of pages to
    the totalram_pages counter, reset the num_pages counter to 0, and
    all is fine.

    As a last step, delete the vqs on the freeze callback to prepare for
    hibernation, and re-create them in the restore and thaw callbacks to
    resume normal operation.

    The kthread doesn't race with any operations here, since it's frozen
    before the freeze() call and is thawed after the thaw() and restore()
    callbacks, so we're safe with that.

    Note: Any outstanding unconsumed buffers are discarded; which means
    there's a possibility of data loss in case the host or the guest didn't
    consume any data already present in the vqs. This can be addressed in a
    later patch series, perhaps in virtio common code.
