ramoops: use persistent_ram_free() instead of kfree() for freeing prz

2016-08-05T18:21:46+00:00

persistent_ram_zone(=prz) structures are allocated by persistent_ram_new(),
which includes vmap() or ioremap(). But they are currently freed by
kfree(). This uses persistent_ram_free() for correct this asymmetry usage.

ramoops: use DT reserved-memory bindings

2016-08-05T18:21:36+00:00

Instead of a ramoops-specific node, use a child node of /reserved-memory.
This requires that of_platform_device_create() be explicitly called
for the node, though, since "/reserved-memory" does not have its own
"compatible" property.

pstore/ram: add Device Tree bindings

2016-06-14T18:34:39+00:00

ramoops is one of the remaining places where ARM vendors still rely on
board-specific shims.  Device Tree lets us replace those shims with
generic code.

These bindings mirror the ramoops module parameters, with two small
differences:

(1) dump_oops becomes an optional "no-dump-oops" property, since ramoops
    sets dump_oops=1 by default.

(2) mem_type=1 becomes the more self-explanatory "unbuffered" property.

pstore: drop file opened reference count

2016-06-02T18:24:52+00:00

In ee1d267423a1 ("pstore: add pstore unregister") I added:
	.owner = THIS_MODULE,
in both pstore_fs_type and pstore_file_operations to increase a reference
count when pstore filesystem is mounted and pstore file is opened.

But, it's repetitive. There is no need to increase the opened reference
count. We only need to increase the mounted reference count. When a file
is opened, the filesystem can't be unmounted. Hence the pstore module
can't be unloaded either.

So I drop the opened reference count in this patch.

pstore: add lzo/lz4 compression support

2016-06-02T17:59:31+00:00

Like zlib compression in pstore, this patch added lzo and lz4
compression support so that users can have more options and better
compression ratio.

The original code treats the compressed data together with the
uncompressed ECC correction notice by using zlib decompress. The
ECC correction notice is missing in the decompression process. The
treatment also makes lzo and lz4 not working. So I treat them
separately by using pstore_decompress() to treat the compressed
data, and memcpy() to treat the uncompressed ECC correction notice.

pstore: Enable compression on normal path (again)

2016-05-31T19:36:44+00:00

The commit f0e2efcfd2717 ("pstore: do not use message compression
without lock") added a check to 'is_locked' to avoid breakage in
concurrent accesses.  But it has a side-effect of disabling compression
on normal path since 'is_locked' variable is not set.  As normal path
always takes the lock, it should be initialized to 1.

This also makes the unlock code a bit simpler.

ramoops: Only unregister when registered

2016-05-31T19:36:44+00:00

While none of the "fragile" pstore backends unregister yet, if they
ever did, the unregistering code for the non-dump targets might get
confused. This adds a check for fragile backends on unregister.

mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros

2016-04-04T17:41:08+00:00

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 -  << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ;

 -  >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -> get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -> put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.
