1: Introduces two new bdflush tunables:
ndirty
The maximum number of buffers which bdflush will attempt to
write out in response to a wakeup. Previously, bdflush would write
out the whole world.
So this limits the amount of bdflush writeout in response to a
single wakeup_bdflush().
NOTE: this code appears to be broken. If nfract_stop_bdflush
is set at zero, ndirty will not prevent bdflush from writing out
all dirty buffers. IOW, ndirty doesn't do anything at present.
nfract_stop_bdflush
In units of "percentage of total memory". bdflush will stop
writing back data when the amount of memory which is dirty on the
buffer LRU falls below this threshold.
So this prevents bdflush from writing out *everything*.
bdflush will stop, and will leave some dirty data behind for
kupdate.
However, `ndirty' has prececdence. So even if the amount of
dirty data is less than nfract_bdflush_stop, bdflush will still
attempt to write out `ndirty' buffers.
2: The mark_buffer_dirty() -> balance_dirty() path has been changed
so that the process which is performing write(2) no longer starts
some I/O when we're between the async and sync thresholds. Instead,
we just wake bdflush.
Also, when the writer reaches the sync threshold, we no longer
throttle the writer by waiting on some I/O. We just start some more
I/O, potentially asynchronously (but, in practice, usually
blockingly, due to request queue exhaustion).
Both these changes have the effect of weakening the
writer-throttling at write(2) time. Presumably this is because the
aa-020-sync_buffers changes now allow memory allocators to throttle
on bdflush-written buffers more successfully.
3: kupdate no longer throttles itself on each wakeup. That always
seemed rather pointless.
This code works well. Fixes the problem where copying a large file
between two disks only exercises one disk at a time. |

Various changes to the dirty buffer flushing code.
The VM wants to throttle memory allocators down to match the disk's
ability to clean memory. It does this by initiating and waiting on
I/O. Also by waiting on I/O which is initiated by others.
In the current kernel, try_to_free_buffers() only waits on writeout
which try_to_free_buffers() started. This patch allows
try_to_free_buffers() to also throttle on kupdate/bdflush writeout.
Gives better throttling and avoids the situation where tasks (inside
the context of the page allocator) pointlessly traverse large numbers
of pages before finding one which is eligible for throttling.
This allows us to no longer have to account for locked buffers in
balance_dirty_state() - the "machine flooded with locked buffers"
problem doesn't occur, because we can throttle on all buffers.
I'm not completely sure that this is a good change. It could have the
tendency to make all page allocators suffer because of a single writer.
It probably looks good on disk-intensive workloads, but there is a risk
that compute-intensive tasks which are allocating modest amounts of
memory will get less work done. They'll spend more time in disk wait
and the CPU will be idle.
That being said, testing which was specifically designed to demonstrate
this effect failed to do so... |

[PATCH] PATCH: PCI ID's
Hi Marcelo!
Here is an update to the pci.ids file, containing all submissions to the
PCI ID database merged with recent additions to the kernel version.
(Several ID's which are deleted are not merging mistakes, but they were
found to be subsystem ID's misreported as device ID's.)
Other changes:
o Updated the MAINTAINERS record for the ID database.
o gen-devlist now avoids trigraphs (which were reported to produce
warnings with some versions of gcc).
o I've increased the length of the pci_dev->name field to make
enough space for the device number suffix appended by names.c
if there are multiple devices with the same description.
Please apply the patch to 2.4.x, I'll send a 2.5.x version to Linus soon.
Have a nice day

[PATCH] Coda update for 2.4.19-pre4
Hi Marcelo,
Here is an update for the Coda kernel module (against 2.4.19-pre4). It
incorporates some cleanups that already went into 2.5, and fixes 3 bugs
that were reported by users.
cleanups
- Cleanup for the coda_venus_readdir implementation.
- Avoid getattr upcalls in cases where we just got new attributes back
from userspace.
- Removed unused function that converts from ViceFid to a string.
bugfixes
- Update i_blocks after writing to a file.
- Fix for the old (libc5?) getcwd lookup across Coda's internal volume
mountpoints which got broken by a patch that went into 2.4.6.
- Returning the entries for '.' and '..' as the first 2 entries of a
directory. Some applications assumed these are always the first 2
entries of a directory.

[PATCH] msync writing when MS_INVALIDATE set and memory locked
For msync, SUSv2 states that it will fail if:
"[EBUSY] Some or all of the addresses in the range starting at addr

specified."
This check isn't being done. The following patch (against 2.4.19pre4)

[PATCH] tunable request queue size
Marcelo,
This was discussed March 1-4 on lkml. Jeff has high-end hardware
which chokes badly on default number of requests in the request
queues. His hardware can handle more requests in-flight than
we're allowing in the queues.
So this patch makes the request queue sizes per-queue rather than
global, and adds an API to allow the driver to grow its queue.
The only change I made since we discussed this is to clamp the
batch_requests level at 32 requests. I wasn't able to detect
any difference between 1024/256 and 1024/32, and it seems the
sensible thing to do. |

[PATCH] The inline-BUG patch
You may have picked up on this already...
When Alan applied it, a couple folks complained that the
external lmsensors userspace stopped compiling because I
used ATTRIB_NORET outside __KERNEL__. So to be nice to these
folks we need to move the declaration of out_of_line_bug()
in include/linux/kernel.h up a few lines so it's just
before the
#endif /* __KERNEL__ */
line. |

straightforward switch of rd_load_image() to normal syscalls -
now it can be done. It (and all related stuff - identify_ramdisk_image(),
crd_load(), etc.) had been moved to do_mounts.c. And yes, all fake struct file,
struct dentry, etc. are gone - it's open()/read()/write()/lseek()/close() now.
This one is large - mostly due to moving stuff to another file. |

from and into. |

new helper - change_floppy(). Ejects floppy, asks to replace it
and waits for keypress. Stuff that used to do it by hands (with varying
completeness - e.g. ramdisk-from-several-floppies asked for replacement
and forgot to call eject; great fun on Suns...) calls change_floppy() now.
rd_load_disk() (one of such places) had been moved to do_mounts.c. |

rd_load() and rd_load_secondary() merged into their resp. callers.

change_root() merged into its caller (handle_initrd()). More
black magic removed - now we don't play games with renaming vfsmount.
We simply create /dev/root.old (RAMDISK_MAJOR:0) and when we mount
initrd we tell mount_block_root() that device name is /dev/root.old.
Calling ioctl_by_bdev() and crap around it are gone - we open /dev/root.old
and call ioctl(2). Minor cleanup - mount_block_root() gets flags as
explicit argument now (used to get them from global variable and clobbered
it in process, so handle_intird() had to save old value and restore it
afterwards; now that idiocy is gone). |

new helper - create_dev(name, dev, devfs_name). It either
does mknod() (if devfs is disabled) or finds name of node with
given major:minor on devfs and creates a symlink to it (devfs enabled,
dev != 0) or creates a symlink to devfs_name (devfs enabled, dev == 0).
Result: we get an object with given name that resolves to device node
we want. That used to be done by hands in mount_root() and we'll need
it elsewhere. |

branch after the successful initrd_load() taken into a helper
function (handle_initrd()). Dead code removed. Fixed an old bug in error
recovery - if we decided that we want to load from initrd but loading
failed we used to leave MS_RDONLY removed from root_mountflags. I.e.
in that case we used to get final root mounted read-write, no matter what. |

1.279 |
minor cleanups - mount_root() used to be followed by the same code
in all callers (set ROOT_DEV to sb->s_dev, tell the world what and how
we'd mounted on /root and chdir to /root). That had been taken into
mount_root() and further into mount_block_root(). Since we mount on
/root, chdir to /dev in mount_root() is not needed anymore (we need
to access rootfs /dev afterwards and chdir() used to be needed back
when we mounted on /). Removed. root_mountflags is initialized with
MS_VERBOSE instead of adding it before every call of mount(). |
| 5 days |

1.278 |
new helper - mount_block_root() (code that goes through the list

it. |

code that deals with spawning /linuxrc, waiting for it, calling

initrd_load() moved to do_mounts.c; assigning DEV_ROOT in case of

Makes rd_load_image() return 0 if it had failed and 1 if it was
successful. Setting ROOT_DEV in case of success had been moved to
callers. All callers used to pass rd_image_start as the second argument of
rd_load_image(); now it's removed. |

USB uhci driver update

[PATCH] uhci.c 2.4.19-pre3 kmem_cache_alloc flags
My previous patch which cleaned up some of the spinlocks, moved one of
the spinlocks around a call to kmem_cache_alloc. It would sometimes
erroneously call it with GFP_KERNEL.
This patch fixes the problem by always calling it with GFP_ATOMIC.
Thanks to Greg for pointing this out to me.

[PATCH] x86 BUG handling
This has been in 2.5 for a few weeks, no problems reported.
We embed the file-and-line info inline after the invalid opcode
in the program text. This means that when we hit the invalid
opcode handler, the stacked machine register info is correct.
Fixes the problem where the printk() wrecks the non-call-preserved
registers.
CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE goes away. Fixes the problem where kernel
developers don't know where their BUGs are.
On my fairly lean kernel build, kernel size is reduced by 90 kbytes
relative to a CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE=y build, due to all the do_BUG()
calls which aren't there any more. |

linux/malloc.h is included and the following trivial patch fixes it: |

When writing too little (0) or too much (>num_physpages) of microcode data
to the driver it will panic because of passing illegal size request to

[PATCH] 2.4.19-pre4 Trivial III: SAK message.
vda@port.imtp.ilyichevsk.odessa.ua: SAK messages:
I use SAK from time to time when I have problems with hung processes.
Sometimes it is difficult to figure out what was being killed and why.
For example, Midnight Commander contains a bug: it holds fd#3 open to
the tty. It prevented me from daemonizing processes (like X) - they
died upon SAK.
This little patch makes SAK tell whom and why it kills. Tested. |

[PATCH] smaller kernels
This is the result of a search-and-destroy mission against
oft-repeated strings in the kernel text. These come about
due to the toolchain's inability to common up strings between
compilation units.
In particular, if there is a printk inside an inline function
then the string gets expanded into every object file which
included that inline function.
So the patch goes through and removes the offending strings
in various ways.
Kernel size is reduced by another 110 kbytes in my build.
I haven't sent this to Linus. gcc-3.0.x does the right thing,
and as 3.x will likely be the preferred compiler when 2.6 is
released, this change isn't needed for Linus kernels. But it's
needed for 2.4. |

[PATCH] Alpha exports
memscan is not properly optimized by some compilers -> need to export.
__cpu_logical_map is used by the cpu_logical_map macro on alpha.
This is not really needed by current kernel code yet, but e.g. TUX
relies on cpu_logical_map beeing callable from modules and at least
i386, sparc and sparc64 allow this.

[PATCH] APM missing bits from 2.4.19-pre4
Hi Marcelo,
These are the missing bits from the set of patches I sent you (on behalf
of Thomas Hood) for 2.4.19-pre4. This patch does the following:
- moves the apm_error() function higher in the file so that it is
adjacent to the error_table that it uses. This makes the code easier to
read. The beginning of the file is an appropriate place for "utility"
functions of this kind. This is a pure move, with no changes made to the
function.
- moves the setting of the ignore_normal_resume flag prior to the sti();
otherwise BIOS-generated normal resume events slip through unignored.
- renames the static function "apm_set_power_state" to
'set_system_power_state'.Generally, the prefix 'apm_' is required to
prevent external name collisions on exported functions. This is a static
function, so the prefix isn't required for that purpose. The prefix might
also indicate that this function has something particularly to do with the
apm subsystem; but that's not the case here. This function is simply a
wrapper for set_power_state(), inserting the argument which sets the power
state for the whole system. My main motivation for wanting to change this
name is clearly to indicate the difference between this function and
set_power_state(). Also, I would like to export set_power_state() someday
in the future, but this is a separate issue.

Code (and commentary) in SYN-RECEIVED processing
assumes that it cannot be reached in the crossed SYN case.
This is wrong if the original SYNs come from a malicious packet
generator third party. This can result in a 4 minute ACK
fight if the sequence numbers are correct.
The fix is to verify the ACK before we do anything else, which
should cover all cases.
