Tejun Heo 37f65b8bc2 libata-sff: ata_sff_irq_clear() is BMDMA specific
ata_sff_irq_clear() is BMDMA specific.  Rename it to
ata_bmdma_irq_clear(), move it to ata_bmdma_port_ops and make
->sff_irq_clear() optional.

Note: ata_bmdma_irq_clear() is actually only needed by ata_piix and
      possibly by sata_sil.  This should be moved to respective low
      level drivers later.

Samu Onkalo 6d94d40810 lis3: interrupt handlers for 8bit wakeup and click events
Content for the 8bit device threaded interrupt handlers.  Depending on the
interrupt line and chip configuration, either click or wakeup / freefall
handler is called.  In case of click, BTN_ event is sent via input device.
 In case of wakeup or freefall, input device ABS_ events are updated
immediatelly.

It is still possible to configure interrupt line 1 for fast freefall
detection and use the second line either for click or threshold based
interrupts.  Or both lines can be used for click / threshold interrupts.

Polled input device can be set to stopped state and still get coordinate
updates via input device using interrupt based method.  Polled mode and
interrupt mode can also be used parallel.

BTN_ events are remapped based on existing axis remapping information.

Samu Onkalo 342c5f1281 lis3: introduce platform data for second ff / wu unit
8 bit device has two wakeup / free fall units.  It was not possible to
configure the second unit.  This patch introduces configuration entry to
the platform data and also corresponding changes to the 8 bit setup
function.

High pass filters were enabled by default.  Patch introduces configuration
option for high pass filter cut off frequency and also possibility to
disable or enable the filter via platform data.  Since the control is a
new one and default state was filter enabled, new option is used to
disable the filter.  This way old platform data is still compatible with
the change.

OGAWA Hirofumi f40c396a9a ratelimit: add ratelimit_state_init()
For now, all users of ratelimit_state allocates it statically, so
DEFINE_RATELIMIT_STATE() is enough.  But, I want to use ratelimit_state
for fs, i.e.  per super_block to suppress too many error reports.

So, this adds ratelimit_state_init() to initialize ratelimite_state
which is dynamically allocated, instead of opencoding.

Joe Perches fc62f2f19e kernel.h: add pr_warn for symmetry to dev_warn, netdev_warn

Joakim Tjernlund b3b77c8cae endian: #define __BYTE_ORDER
Linux does not define __BYTE_ORDER in its endian header files which makes
some header files bend backwards to get at the current endian.  Lets
#define __BYTE_ORDER in big_endian.h/litte_endian.h to make it easier for
header files that are used in user space too.

In userspace the convention is that

  1. _both_ __LITTLE_ENDIAN and __BIG_ENDIAN are defined,
  2. you have to test for e.g. __BYTE_ORDER == __BIG_ENDIAN.

Haicheng Li 4eaf3f6439 mem-hotplug: fix potential race while building zonelist for new populated zone
Add global mutex zonelists_mutex to fix the possible race:

     CPU0                                  CPU1                    CPU2
(1) zone->present_pages += online_pages;
(2)                                       build_all_zonelists();
(3)                                                               alloc_page();
(4)                                                               free_page();
(5) build_all_zonelists();
(6)   __build_all_zonelists();
(7)     zone->pageset = alloc_percpu();

In step (3,4), zone->pageset still points to boot_pageset, so bad
things may happen if 2+ nodes are in this state. Even if only 1 node
is accessing the boot_pageset, (3) may still consume too much memory
to fail the memory allocations in step (7).

Besides, atomic operation ensures alloc_percpu() in step (7) will never fail
since there is a new fresh memory block added in step(6).

For each new populated zone of hotadded node, need to update its pagesets
with dynamically allocated per_cpu_pageset struct for all possible CPUs:

    1) Detach zone->pageset from the shared boot_pageset
       at end of __build_all_zonelists().

    2) Use mutex to protect zone->pageset when it's still
       shared in onlined_pages()

Otherwises, multiple zones of different nodes would share same boot strapping
boot_pageset for same CPU, which will finally cause below kernel panic:

Marcelo Roberto Jimenez 0faa56389c mm: fix NR_SECTION_ROOTS == 0 when using using sparsemem extreme.
Got this while compiling for ARM/SA1100:

mm/sparse.c: In function '__section_nr':
mm/sparse.c:135: warning: 'root' is used uninitialized in this function

This patch follows Russell King's suggestion for a new calculation for
NR_SECTION_ROOTS.  Thanks also to Sergei Shtylyov for pointing out the
existence of the macro DIV_ROUND_UP.

Atsushi Nemoto observed:
: This fix doesn't just silence the warning - it fixes a real problem.
:
: Without this fix, mem_section[] might have 0 size so mem_section[0]
: will share other variable area.  For example, I got:
:
: c030c700 b __warned.16478
: c030c700 B mem_section
: c030c701 b __warned.16483
:
: This might cause very strange behavior.  Your patch actually fixes it.

In f4112de6b6 ("mm: introduce

It was wrong.  (I thought irqs_disabled() is only available when the
architecture has CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT)

Remove the #ifdef CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT check to enable
kmap_atomic() debugging for the architectures which do not have
CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT.

minskey guo cf23422b9d cpu/mem hotplug: enable CPUs online before local memory online
Enable users to online CPUs even if the CPUs belongs to a numa node which
doesn't have onlined local memory.

The zonlists(pg_data_t.node_zonelists[]) of a numa node are created either
in system boot/init period, or at the time of local memory online.  For a
numa node without onlined local memory, its zonelists are not initialized
at present.  As a result, any memory allocation operations executed by
CPUs within this node will fail.  In fact, an out-of-memory error is
triggered when attempt to online CPUs before memory comes to online.

This patch tries to create zonelists for such numa nodes, so that the
memory allocation for this node can be fallback'ed to other nodes.

Johannes Weiner 8b25c6d223 vmscan: remove isolate_pages callback scan control
For now, we have global isolation vs.  memory control group isolation, do
not allow the reclaim entry function to set an arbitrary page isolation
callback, we do not need that flexibility.

And since we already pass around the group descriptor for the memory
control group isolation case, just use it to decide which one of the two
isolator functions to use.

The decisions can be merged into nearby branches, so no extra cost there.
In fact, we save the indirect calls.

Mel Gorman 4f92e2586b mm: compaction: defer compaction using an exponential backoff when compaction fails
The fragmentation index may indicate that a failure is due to external
fragmentation but after a compaction run completes, it is still possible
for an allocation to fail.  There are two obvious reasons as to why

  o Page migration cannot move all pages so fragmentation remains
  o A suitable page may exist but watermarks are not met

In the event of compaction followed by an allocation failure, this patch
defers further compaction in the zone (1 << compact_defer_shift) times.
If the next compaction attempt also fails, compact_defer_shift is
increased up to a maximum of 6.  If compaction succeeds, the defer
counters are reset again.

The zone that is deferred is the first zone in the zonelist - i.e.  the
preferred zone.  To defer compaction in the other zones, the information
would need to be stored in the zonelist or implemented similar to the
zonelist_cache.  This would impact the fast-paths and is not justified at
this time.

Mel Gorman 5e77190580 mm: compaction: add a tunable that decides when memory should be compacted and when it should be reclaimed
The kernel applies some heuristics when deciding if memory should be
compacted or reclaimed to satisfy a high-order allocation.  One of these
is based on the fragmentation.  If the index is below 500, memory will not
be compacted.  This choice is arbitrary and not based on data.  To help
optimise the system and set a sensible default for this value, this patch
adds a sysctl extfrag_threshold.  The kernel will only compact memory if
the fragmentation index is above the extfrag_threshold.

Mel Gorman 56de7263fc mm: compaction: direct compact when a high-order allocation fails
Ordinarily when a high-order allocation fails, direct reclaim is entered
to free pages to satisfy the allocation.  With this patch, it is
determined if an allocation failed due to external fragmentation instead
of low memory and if so, the calling process will compact until a suitable
page is freed.  Compaction by moving pages in memory is considerably
cheaper than paging out to disk and works where there are locked pages or
no swap.  If compaction fails to free a page of a suitable size, then
reclaim will still occur.

Direct compaction returns as soon as possible.  As each block is
compacted, it is checked if a suitable page has been freed and if so, it
returns.

Mel Gorman 748446bb6b mm: compaction: memory compaction core
This patch is the core of a mechanism which compacts memory in a zone by
relocating movable pages towards the end of the zone.

A single compaction run involves a migration scanner and a free scanner.
Both scanners operate on pageblock-sized areas in the zone.  The migration
scanner starts at the bottom of the zone and searches for all movable
pages within each area, isolating them onto a private list called
migratelist.  The free scanner starts at the top of the zone and searches
for suitable areas and consumes the free pages within making them
available for the migration scanner.  The pages isolated for migration are
then migrated to the newly isolated free pages.

Mel Gorman a8bef8ff6e mm: migration: avoid race between shift_arg_pages() and rmap_walk() during migration by not migrating temporary stacks
Page migration requires rmap to be able to find all ptes mapping a page
at all times, otherwise the migration entry can be instantiated, but it
is possible to leave one behind if the second rmap_walk fails to find
the page.  If this page is later faulted, migration_entry_to_page() will
call BUG because the page is locked indicating the page was migrated by
the migration PTE not cleaned up. For example

  kernel BUG at include/linux/swapops.h:105!
  invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
  ...

  RIP  [<ffffffff811094ff>] migration_entry_wait+0xc1/0x129

There is a race between shift_arg_pages and migration that triggers this
bug.  A temporary stack is setup during exec and later moved.  If
migration moves a page in the temporary stack and the VMA is then removed
before migration completes, the migration PTE may not be found leading to
a BUG when the stack is faulted.

This patch causes pages within the temporary stack during exec to be
skipped by migration.  It does this by marking the VMA covering the
temporary stack with an otherwise impossible combination of VMA flags.
These flags are cleared when the temporary stack is moved to its final
location.

Mel Gorman 3f6c82728f mm: migration: take a reference to the anon_vma before migrating
This patchset is a memory compaction mechanism that reduces external
fragmentation memory by moving GFP_MOVABLE pages to a fewer number of
pageblocks.  The term "compaction" was chosen as there are is a number of
mechanisms that are not mutually exclusive that can be used to defragment
memory.  For example, lumpy reclaim is a form of defragmentation as was
slub "defragmentation" (really a form of targeted reclaim).  Hence, this
is called "compaction" to distinguish it from other forms of
defragmentation.

In this implementation, a full compaction run involves two scanners
operating within a zone - a migration and a free scanner.  The migration
scanner starts at the beginning of a zone and finds all movable pages
within one pageblock_nr_pages-sized area and isolates them on a
migratepages list.  The free scanner begins at the end of the zone and
searches on a per-area basis for enough free pages to migrate all the
pages on the migratepages list.  As each area is respectively migrated or
exhausted of free pages, the scanners are advanced one area.  A compaction
run completes within a zone when the two scanners meet.

This method is a bit primitive but is easy to understand and greater
sophistication would require maintenance of counters on a per-pageblock
basis.  This would have a big impact on allocator fast-paths to improve
compaction which is a poor trade-off.

It also does not try relocate virtually contiguous pages to be physically
contiguous.  However, assuming transparent hugepages were in use, a
hypothetical khugepaged might reuse compaction code to isolate free pages,
split them and relocate userspace pages for promotion.

Memory compaction can be triggered in one of three ways.  It may be
triggered explicitly by writing any value to /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory
and compacting all of memory.  It can be triggered on a per-node basis by
writing any value to /sys/devices/system/node/nodeN/compact where N is the
node ID to be compacted.  When a process fails to allocate a high-order
page, it may compact memory in an attempt to satisfy the allocation
instead of entering direct reclaim.  Explicit compaction does not finish
until the two scanners meet and direct compaction ends if a suitable page
becomes available that would meet watermarks.

The series is in 14 patches.  The first three are not "core" to the series
but are important pre-requisites.

Patch 1 reference counts anon_vma for rmap_walk_anon(). Without this
	patch, it's possible to use anon_vma after free if the caller is
	not holding a VMA or mmap_sem for the pages in question. While
	there should be no existing user that causes this problem,
	it's a requirement for memory compaction to be stable. The patch
	is at the start of the series for bisection reasons.
Patch 2 merges the KSM and migrate counts. It could be merged with patch 1
	but would be slightly harder to review.
Patch 3 skips over unmapped anon pages during migration as there are no
	guarantees about the anon_vma existing. There is a window between
	when a page was isolated and migration started during which anon_vma
	could disappear.
Patch 4 notes that PageSwapCache pages can still be migrated even if they
	are unmapped.
Patch 5 allows CONFIG_MIGRATION to be set without CONFIG_NUMA
Patch 6 exports a "unusable free space index" via debugfs. It's
	a measure of external fragmentation that takes the size of the
	allocation request into account. It can also be calculated from
	userspace so can be dropped if requested
Patch 7 exports a "fragmentation index" which only has meaning when an
	allocation request fails. It determines if an allocation failure
	would be due to a lack of memory or external fragmentation.
Patch 8 moves the definition for LRU isolation modes for use by compaction
Patch 9 is the compaction mechanism although it's unreachable at this point
Patch 10 adds a means of compacting all of memory with a proc trgger
Patch 11 adds a means of compacting a specific node with a sysfs trigger
Patch 12 adds "direct compaction" before "direct reclaim" if it is
	determined there is a good chance of success.
Patch 13 adds a sysctl that allows tuning of the threshold at which the
	kernel will compact or direct reclaim
Patch 14 temporarily disables compaction if an allocation failure occurs
	after compaction.

Testing of compaction was in three stages.  For the test, debugging,
preempt, the sleep watchdog and lockdep were all enabled but nothing nasty
popped out.  min_free_kbytes was tuned as recommended by hugeadm to help
fragmentation avoidance and high-order allocations.  It was tested on X86,
X86-64 and PPC64.

Ths first test represents one of the easiest cases that can be faced for
lumpy reclaim or memory compaction.

1. Machine freshly booted and configured for hugepage usage with
	a) hugeadm --create-global-mounts
	b) hugeadm --pool-pages-max DEFAULT:8G
	c) hugeadm --set-recommended-min_free_kbytes
	d) hugeadm --set-recommended-shmmax

	The min_free_kbytes here is important. Anti-fragmentation works best
	when pageblocks don't mix. hugeadm knows how to calculate a value that
	will significantly reduce the worst of external-fragmentation-related
	events as reported by the mm_page_alloc_extfrag tracepoint.

2. Load up memory
	a) Start updatedb
	b) Create in parallel a X files of pagesize*128 in size. Wait
	   until files are created. By parallel, I mean that 4096 instances
	   of dd were launched, one after the other using &. The crude
	   objective being to mix filesystem metadata allocations with
	   the buffer cache.
	c) Delete every second file so that pageblocks are likely to
	   have holes
	d) kill updatedb if it's still running

	At this point, the system is quiet, memory is full but it's full with
	clean filesystem metadata and clean buffer cache that is unmapped.
	This is readily migrated or discarded so you'd expect lumpy reclaim
	to have no significant advantage over compaction but this is at
	the POC stage.

3. In increments, attempt to allocate 5% of memory as hugepages.
	   Measure how long it took, how successful it was, how many
	   direct reclaims took place and how how many compactions. Note
	   the compaction figures might not fully add up as compactions
	   can take place for orders other than the hugepage size

X86				vanilla		compaction
Final page count                    913                916 (attempted 1002)
pages reclaimed                   68296               9791

X86-64				vanilla		compaction
Final page count:                   901                902 (attempted 1002)
Total pages reclaimed:           112599              53234

PPC64				vanilla		compaction
Final page count:                    93                 94 (attempted 110)
Total pages reclaimed:           103216              61838

There was not a dramatic improvement in success rates but it wouldn't be
expected in this case either.  What was important is that fewer pages were
reclaimed in all cases reducing the amount of IO required to satisfy a
huge page allocation.

The second tests were all performance related - kernbench, netperf, iozone
and sysbench.  None showed anything too remarkable.

The last test was a high-order allocation stress test.  Many kernel
compiles are started to fill memory with a pressured mix of unmovable and
movable allocations.  During this, an attempt is made to allocate 90% of
memory as huge pages - one at a time with small delays between attempts to
avoid flooding the IO queue.

                                             vanilla   compaction
Percentage of request allocated X86               98           99
Percentage of request allocated X86-64            95           98
Percentage of request allocated PPC64             55           70

This patch:

rmap_walk_anon() does not use page_lock_anon_vma() for looking up and
locking an anon_vma and it does not appear to have sufficient locking to
ensure the anon_vma does not disappear from under it.

This patch copies an approach used by KSM to take a reference on the
anon_vma while pages are being migrated.  This should prevent rmap_walk()
running into nasty surprises later because anon_vma has been freed.

Miao Xie c0ff7453bb cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's mems
Before applying this patch, cpuset updates task->mems_allowed and
mempolicy by setting all new bits in the nodemask first, and clearing all
old unallowed bits later.  But in the way, the allocator may find that
there is no node to alloc memory.

The reason is that cpuset rebinds the task's mempolicy, it cleans the
nodes which the allocater can alloc pages on, for example:

(mpol: mempolicy)
	task1			task1's mpol	task2
	alloc page		1
	  alloc on node0? NO	1
				1		change mems from 1 to 0
				1		rebind task1's mpol
				0-1		  set new bits
				0	  	  clear disallowed bits
	  alloc on node1? NO	0
	  ...
	can't alloc page
	  goto oom

This patch fixes this problem by expanding the nodes range first(set newly
allowed bits) and shrink it lazily(clear newly disallowed bits).  So we
use a variable to tell the write-side task that read-side task is reading
nodemask, and the write-side task clears newly disallowed nodes after
read-side task ends the current memory allocation.

Miao Xie 708c1bbc9d mempolicy: restructure rebinding-mempolicy functions
Nick Piggin reported that the allocator may see an empty nodemask when
changing cpuset's mems[1].  It happens only on the kernel that do not do
atomic nodemask_t stores.  (MAX_NUMNODES > BITS_PER_LONG)

But I found that there is also a problem on the kernel that can do atomic
nodemask_t stores.  The problem is that the allocator can't find a node to
alloc page when changing cpuset's mems though there is a lot of free
memory.  The reason is like this:

(mpol: mempolicy)
	task1			task1's mpol	task2
	alloc page		1
	  alloc on node0? NO	1
				1		change mems from 1 to 0
				1		rebind task1's mpol
				0-1		  set new bits
				0	  	  clear disallowed bits
	  alloc on node1? NO	0
	  ...
	can't alloc page
	  goto oom

I can use the attached program reproduce it by the following step:

# mkdir /dev/cpuset
# mount -t cpuset cpuset /dev/cpuset
# mkdir /dev/cpuset/1
# echo `cat /dev/cpuset/cpus` > /dev/cpuset/1/cpus
# echo `cat /dev/cpuset/mems` > /dev/cpuset/1/mems
# echo $$ > /dev/cpuset/1/tasks
# numactl --membind=`cat /dev/cpuset/mems` ./cpuset_mem_hog <nr_tasks> &
   <nr_tasks> = max(nr_cpus - 1, 1)
# killall -s SIGUSR1 cpuset_mem_hog
# ./change_mems.sh

several hours later, oom will happen though there is a lot of free memory.

This patchset fixes this problem by expanding the nodes range first(set
newly allowed bits) and shrink it lazily(clear newly disallowed bits).  So
we use a variable to tell the write-side task that read-side task is
reading nodemask, and the write-side task clears newly disallowed nodes
after read-side task ends the current memory allocation.

This patch:

In order to fix no node to alloc memory, when we want to update mempolicy
and mems_allowed, we expand the set of nodes first (set all the newly
nodes) and shrink the set of nodes lazily(clean disallowed nodes), But the
mempolicy's rebind functions may breaks the expanding.

So we restructure the mempolicy's rebind functions and split the rebind
work to two steps, just like the update of cpuset's mems: The 1st step:
expand the set of the mempolicy's nodes.  The 2nd step: shrink the set of
the mempolicy's nodes.  It is used when there is no real lock to protect
the mempolicy in the read-side.  Otherwise we can do rebind work at once.

In order to implement it, we define

	enum mpol_rebind_step {
		MPOL_REBIND_ONCE,
		MPOL_REBIND_STEP1,
		MPOL_REBIND_STEP2,
		MPOL_REBIND_NSTEP,
	};

If the mempolicy needn't be updated by two steps, we can pass
MPOL_REBIND_ONCE to the rebind functions.  Or we can pass
MPOL_REBIND_STEP1 to do the first step of the rebind work and pass
MPOL_REBIND_STEP2 to do the second step work.

Besides that, it maybe long time between these two step and we have to
release the lock that protects mempolicy and mems_allowed.  If we hold the
lock once again, we must check whether the current mempolicy is under the
rebinding (the first step has been done) or not, because the task may
alloc a new mempolicy when we don't hold the lock.  So we defined the
following flag to identify it:

#define MPOL_F_REBINDING (1 << 2)

The new functions will be used in the next patch.

Minchan Kim e13861d822 mm: remove return value of putback_lru_pages()
putback_lru_page() never can fail.  So it doesn't matter count of "the
number of pages put back".

In addition, users of this functions don't use return value.

Let's remove unnecessary code.

KOSAKI Motohiro e9d6c15738 tmpfs: insert tmpfs cache pages to inactive list at first
Shaohua Li reported parallel file copy on tmpfs can lead to OOM killer.
This is regression of caused by commit 9ff473b9a7 ("vmscan: evict
streaming IO first").  Wow, It is 2 years old patch!

Currently, tmpfs file cache is inserted active list at first.  This means
that the insertion doesn't only increase numbers of pages in anon LRU, but
it also reduces anon scanning ratio.  Therefore, vmscan will get totally
confused.  It scans almost only file LRU even though the system has plenty
unused tmpfs pages.

Historically, lru_cache_add_active_anon() was used for two reasons.
1) Intend to priotize shmem page rather than regular file cache.
2) Intend to avoid reclaim priority inversion of used once pages.

But we've lost both motivation because (1) Now we have separate anon and
file LRU list.  then, to insert active list doesn't help such priotize.
(2) In past, one pte access bit will cause page activation.  then to
insert inactive list with pte access bit mean higher priority than to
insert active list.  Its priority inversion may lead to uninteded lru
chun.  but it was already solved by commit 645747462 (vmscan: detect
mapped file pages used only once).  (Thanks Hannes, you are great!)

Thus, now we can use lru_cache_add_anon() instead.

Haojian Zhuang 9f79e9db2e regulator: use voltage number array in 88pm860x
A lot of condition comparision statements are used in original driver. These
statements are used to check the boundary of voltage numbers since voltage
number isn't linear.

Now use array of voltage numbers instead. Clean code with simpler way.

Mark Brown 0178f3e28e regulator: Allow regulator-regulator supplies to be specified by name
When one regulator supplies another allow the relationship to be specified
using names rather than struct regulators, in a similar manner to that
allowed for consumer supplies. This allows static configuration at compile
time, reducing the need for dynamic init code.

Also change the references to LINE supply to be system supply since line
is sometimes used for actual supplies and therefore potentially confusing.

hartleys 41c4221ca6 spi: move bitbang txrx utility functions to private header
A number of files in drivers/spi fail checkincludes.pl due to the double
include of <linux/spi/spi_bitbang.h>.

The first include is needed to get the struct spi_bitbang definition and
the spi_bitbang_* function prototypes.

The second include happens after defining EXPAND_BITBANG_TXRX to get the
inlined bitbang_txrx_* utility functions.

The <linux/spi/spi_bitbang.h> header is also included by a number of other
spi drivers, as well as some arch/ code, in order to use struct spi_bitbang
and the associated functions.

To fix the double include, and remove any potential confusion about it, move
the inlined bitbang_txrx_* functions to a new private header in drivers/spi
and also remove the need to define EXPAND_BITBANG_TXRX.
