vfs: turn is_dir argument to kern_path_create into a lookup_flags arg

2012-12-20T23:50:02+00:00

Where we can pass in LOOKUP_DIRECTORY or LOOKUP_REVAL. Any other flags
passed in here are currently ignored.

dma-buf: might_sleep() in dma_buf_unmap_attachment()

2012-12-20T06:35:05+00:00

We never really clarified if unmap could be done in atomic context.
But since mapping might require sleeping, this implies mutex in use
to synchronize mapping/unmapping, so unmap could sleep as well.  Add
a might_sleep() to clarify this.

numa: add CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE for movable-dedicated node

2012-12-13T01:38:34+00:00

We need a node which only contains movable memory.  This feature is very
important for node hotplug.  If a node has normal/highmem, the memory may
be used by the kernel and can't be offlined.  If the node only contains
movable memory, we can offline the memory and the node.

All are prepared, we can actually introduce N_MEMORY.
add CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE make we can use it for movable-dedicated node

hugetlb: use N_MEMORY instead N_HIGH_MEMORY

2012-12-13T01:38:33+00:00

N_HIGH_MEMORY stands for the nodes that has normal or high memory.
N_MEMORY stands for the nodes that has any memory.

The code here need to handle with the nodes which have memory, we should
use N_MEMORY instead.

 "Quite a few enhancements this time around, helpers and diagnostics for

   - Addition of table based lookups for the register access checks from
     Davide Ciminaghi, making life easier for drivers with big blocks of
     similar registers.
   - Allow drivers to get the irqdomain for regmap irq_chips, allowing
     the domain to be used with other APIs.
   - Debug improvements for paged register maps.
   - Performance improvments for some of the diagnostic infrastructure,
     very helpful for devices with large register maps."

mm, memory-hotplug: dynamic configure movable memory and portion memory

2012-12-12T01:22:28+00:00

Add online_movable and online_kernel for logic memory hotplug.  This is
the dynamic version of "movablecore" & "kernelcore".

We have the same reason to introduce it as to introduce "movablecore" &
"kernelcore".  It has the same motive as "movablecore" & "kernelcore", but
it is dynamic/running-time:

o We can configure memory as kernelcore or movablecore after boot.

  Userspace workload is increased, we need more hugepage, we can't use
  "online_movable" to add memory and allow the system use more
  THP(transparent-huge-page), vice-verse when kernel workload is increase.

  Also help for virtualization to dynamic configure host/guest's memory,
  to save/(reduce waste) memory.

  Memory capacity on Demand

o When a new node is physically online after boot, we need to use
  "online_movable" or "online_kernel" to configure/portion it as we
  expected when we logic-online it.

  This configuration also helps for physically-memory-migrate.

o all benefit as the same as existed "movablecore" & "kernelcore".

o Preparing for movable-node, which is very important for power-saving,
  hardware partitioning and high-available-system(hardware fault
  management).

(Note, we don't introduce movable-node here.)

Action behavior:
When a memoryblock/memorysection is onlined by "online_movable", the kernel
will not have directly reference to the page of the memoryblock,
thus we can remove that memory any time when needed.

When it is online by "online_kernel", the kernel can use it.
When it is online by "online", the zone type doesn't changed.

Current constraints:
Only the memoryblock which is adjacent to the ZONE_MOVABLE
can be online from ZONE_NORMAL to ZONE_MOVABLE.
