Watchdog: Fix parent of watchdog_devices

2015-09-09T19:39:22+00:00

/sys/class/watchdog/watchdogn/device/modalias can help to identify the
driver/module for a given watchdog node. However, many wdt devices do not
set their parent and so, we do not see an entry for device in sysfs for
such devices.

This patch fixes parent of watchdog_device so that
/sys/class/watchdog/watchdogn/device is populated.

Exceptions: booke, diag288, octeon, softdog and w83627hf -- They do not
have any parent. Not sure, how we can identify driver for these devices.

mm: rename alloc_pages_exact_node() to __alloc_pages_node()

2015-09-08T22:35:28+00:00

alloc_pages_exact_node() was introduced in commit 6484eb3e2a81 ("page
allocator: do not check NUMA node ID when the caller knows the node is
valid") as an optimized variant of alloc_pages_node(), that doesn't
fallback to current node for nid == NUMA_NO_NODE.  Unfortunately the
name of the function can easily suggest that the allocation is
restricted to the given node and fails otherwise.  In truth, the node is
only preferred, unless __GFP_THISNODE is passed among the gfp flags.

The misleading name has lead to mistakes in the past, see for example
commits 5265047ac301 ("mm, thp: really limit transparent hugepage
allocation to local node") and b360edb43f8e ("mm, mempolicy:
migrate_to_node should only migrate to node").

Another issue with the name is that there's a family of
alloc_pages_exact*() functions where 'exact' means exact size (instead
of page order), which leads to more confusion.

To prevent further mistakes, this patch effectively renames
alloc_pages_exact_node() to __alloc_pages_node() to better convey that
it's an optimized variant of alloc_pages_node() not intended for general
usage.  Both functions get described in comments.

It has been also considered to really provide a convenience function for
allocations restricted to a node, but the major opinion seems to be that
__GFP_THISNODE already provides that functionality and we shouldn't
duplicate the API needlessly.  The number of users would be small
anyway.

Existing callers of alloc_pages_exact_node() are simply converted to
call __alloc_pages_node(), with the exception of sba_alloc_coherent()
which open-codes the check for NUMA_NO_NODE, so it is converted to use
alloc_pages_node() instead.  This means it no longer performs some
VM_BUG_ON checks, and since the current check for nid in
alloc_pages_node() uses a 'nid < 0' comparison (which includes
NUMA_NO_NODE), it may hide wrong values which would be previously
exposed.

Both differences will be rectified by the next patch.

To sum up, this patch makes no functional changes, except temporarily
hiding potentially buggy callers.  Restricting the checks in
alloc_pages_node() is left for the next patch which can in turn expose
more existing buggy callers.

genalloc: add name arg to gen_pool_get() and devm_gen_pool_create()

2015-09-04T23:54:41+00:00

This change modifies gen_pool_get() and devm_gen_pool_create() client
interfaces adding one more argument "name" of a gen_pool object.

Due to implementation gen_pool_get() is capable to retrieve only one
gen_pool associated with a device even if multiple gen_pools are created,
fortunately right at the moment it is sufficient for the clients, hence
provide NULL as a valid argument on both producer devm_gen_pool_create()
and consumer gen_pool_get() sides.

Because only one created gen_pool per device is addressable, explicitly
add a restriction to devm_gen_pool_create() to create only one gen_pool
per device, this implies two possible error codes returned by the
function, account it on client side (only misc/sram).  This completes
client side changes related to genalloc updates.

cxl: Fix force unmapping mmaps of contexts allocated through the kernel api

2015-08-30T08:47:26+00:00

The cxl user api uses the address_space associated with the file when we
need to force unmap all cxl mmap regions (e.g. on eeh, driver detach,
etc). Currently, contexts allocated through the kernel api do not do
this and instead skip the mmap invalidation, potentially allowing them
to poke at the hardware after such an event, which may cause all sorts
of trouble.

This patch allocates an address_space for cxl contexts allocated through
the kernel api so that the same invalidate path will for these contexts
as well. We don't use the anonymous inode's address_space, as doing so
could invalidate any mmaps of completely unrelated drivers using
anonymous file descriptors.

This patch also introduces a kernelapi flag, so we know when freeing the
context if the address_space was allocated by us and needs to be freed.
