header cleaning: don't include smp_lock.h when not used

2007-05-08T18:15:07+00:00

Remove includes of  where it is not used/needed.
Suggested by Al Viro.

Builds cleanly on x86_64, i386, alpha, ia64, powerpc, sparc,
sparc64, and arm (all 59 defconfigs).

[PATCH] mm: arch do_page_fault() vs in_atomic()

2006-12-07T16:39:21+00:00

In light of the recent pagefault and filemap_copy_from_user work I've gone
through all the arch pagefault handlers to make sure the inc_preempt_count()
'feature' works as expected.

Several sections of code (including the new filemap_copy_from_user) rely on
the fact that faults do not take locks under increased preempt count.

[PATCH] Generic ioremap_page_range: alpha conversion

2006-10-01T07:39:31+00:00

Convert Alpha to use generic ioremap_page_range() by turning
__alpha_remap_area_pages() into an inline wrapper around ioremap_page_range().

[PATCH] pidspace: is_init()

2006-09-29T16:18:12+00:00

This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch.
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280).  It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and
replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init().

Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other
patches for now.

Eric's original description:

	There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init
	because we give it special properties.  Most  significantly init
	must not die.  This results in code all over the kernel test
	->pid == 1.

	Introduce is_init to capture this case.

	With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are
	looking for only the first process on the system, not some other
	process that has pid == 1.

[PATCH] reduce MAX_NR_ZONES: fix MAX_NR_ZONES array initializations

2006-09-26T15:48:46+00:00

Fix array initialization in lots of arches

The number of zones may now be reduced from 4 to 2 for many arches.  Fix the
array initialization for the zones array for all architectures so that it is
not initializing a fixed number of elements.

[PATCH] unify PFN_* macros

2006-03-27T16:44:48+00:00

Just about every architecture defines some macros to do operations on pfns.
 They're all virtually identical.  This patch consolidates all of them.

One minor glitch is that at least i386 uses them in a very skeletal header
file.  To keep away from #include dependency hell, I stuck the new
definitions in a new, isolated header.

Of all of the implementations, sh64 is the only one that varied by a bit.
It used some masks to ensure that any sign-extension got ripped away before
the arithmetic is done.  This has been posted to that sh64 maintainers and
the development list.

Compiles on x86, x86_64, ia64 and ppc64.

[PATCH] remove set_page_count() outside mm/

2006-03-22T15:54:02+00:00

set_page_count usage outside mm/ is limited to setting the refcount to 1.
Remove set_page_count from outside mm/, and replace those users with
init_page_count() and set_page_refcounted().

This allows more debug checking, and tighter control on how code is allowed
to play around with page->_count.

[PATCH] dump_thread() cleanup

2006-01-10T16:01:25+00:00


)

From: Adrian Bunk 

- create one common dump_thread() prototype in kernel.h

- dump_thread() is only used in fs/binfmt_aout.c and can therefore be
  removed on all architectures where CONFIG_BINFMT_AOUT is not
  available
