mtd: Disable mtdchar mmap on MMU systems

2012-10-09T14:08:42+00:00

This code was broken because it assumed that all MTD devices were map-based.
Disable it for now, until it can be fixed properly for the next merge window.

mm: kill vma flag VM_RESERVED and mm->reserved_vm counter

2012-10-09T07:22:19+00:00

A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA,
currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects:

 | effect                 | alternative flags
-+------------------------+---------------------------------------------
1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO
2| skip in core dump      | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP
3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
4| do not mlock           | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP

This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct.  Seems like nobody
cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
reduces total_vm showed in proc.

Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD

2012-10-09T07:22:15+00:00

When transparent huge pages were introduced, memory compaction and swap
storms were an issue, and the kernel had to be careful to not make THP
allocations cause pageout or compaction.

Now that we have working compaction deferral, kswapd is smart enough to
invoke compaction and the quadratic behaviour around isolate_free_pages
has been fixed, it should be safe to remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD.

Pull UBI fastmap changes from Artem Bityutskiy:
 "This pull request contains the UBI fastmap support implemented by
  Richard Weinberger from Linutronix.  Fastmap is designed to address
  UBI's slow scanning issues.  Namely, it introduces a new on-flash
  data-structure called "fastmap", which stores the information about
  logical<->physical eraseblocks mappings.  So now to get this
  information just read the fastmap, instead of doing full scan.  More
  information here can be found in Richard's announcement in LKML
  (Subject: UBI: Fastmap request for inclusion (v19)):

     http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1364922/focus=1369109

  One thing I want to explicitly say is that fastmap did not have large
  enough linux-next exposure.  It is partially my fault - I did not
  respond quickly enough.  I _really_ apologize for this.  But it had
  good testing and disabled by default, so I do not expect that we'll
  break anything.

  Fastmap is declared as experimental so far, and it is off by default.
  We did declare that the on-flash format may be changed.  The reason
  for this is that no one used it in real production so far, so there is
  a high risk that something is missing.  Besides, we do not have
  user-space tools supporting fastmap so far.

  Nevertheless, I suggest we merge this feature.  Many people want UBI's
  scanning bottleneck to be fixed and merging fastmap now should
  accelerate its production use.  The plan is to make it bullet-prove,
  somewhat clean-up, and make it the default for UBI.  I do not know how
  many kernel releases will it take.

  Basically, I what I want to do for fastmap is something like Linus did
  for btrfs few years ago."

Pull powerpc updates from Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
 "Some highlights in addition to the usual batch of fixes:

   - 64TB address space support for 64-bit processes by Aneesh Kumar

   - Gavin Shan did a major cleanup & re-organization of our EEH support
     code (IBM fancy PCI error handling & recovery infrastructure) which
     paves the way for supporting different platform backends, along
     with some rework of the PCIe code for the PowerNV platform in order
     to remove home made resource allocations and instead use the
     generic code (which is possible after some small improvements to it
     done by Gavin).

   - Uprobes support by Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli

   - A pile of embedded updates from Freescale folks, including new SoC
     and board supports, more KVM stuff including preparing for 64-bit
     BookE KVM support, ePAPR 1.1 updates, etc..."
