lib/proportions: Remove unused code

2016-04-01T06:53:49+00:00

By accident I stumbled across code that is no longer used.  According
to git grep, the global functions in lib/proportions.c are not used
anywhere.  This patch removes the old, unused code.

Peter Zijlstra further commented:

 "Ah indeed, that got replaced with the flex proportion code a while back."

treewide: Remove old email address

There were still a number of references to my old Red Hat email
address in the kernel source. Remove these while keeping the
Red Hat copyright notices intact.

proportions: add @gfp to init functions

2014-09-08T00:51:30+00:00

Percpu allocator now supports allocation mask.  Add @gfp to
[flex_]proportions init functions so that !GFP_KERNEL allocation masks
can be used with them too.

This patch doesn't make any functional difference.

percpu_counter: add @gfp to percpu_counter_init()

2014-09-08T00:51:29+00:00

Percpu allocator now supports allocation mask.  Add @gfp to
percpu_counter_init() so that !GFP_KERNEL allocation masks can be used
with percpu_counters too.

We could have left percpu_counter_init() alone and added
percpu_counter_init_gfp(); however, the number of users isn't that
high and introducing _gfp variants to all percpu data structures would
be quite ugly, so let's just do the conversion.  This is the one with
the most users.  Other percpu data structures are a lot easier to
convert.

This patch doesn't make any functional difference.

locking, lib/proportions: Annotate prop_local_percpu::lock as raw

2011-09-13T09:11:50+00:00

The prop_local_percpu::lock can be taken in atomic context and therefore
cannot be preempted on -rt - annotate it.

In mainline this change documents the low level nature of
the lock - otherwise there's no functional difference. Lockdep
and Sparse checking will work as usual.

locking, percpu counters: introduce separate lock classes

2008-12-29T12:43:00+00:00

Impact: fix lockdep false positives

Classify percpu_counter instances similar to regular lock objects --
that is, per instantiation site.

The networking code has increased its use of percpu_counters, which
leads to false positives if they are treated as a single class.

mm: bdi: allow setting a maximum for the bdi dirty limit

2008-04-30T15:29:50+00:00

Add "max_ratio" to /sys/class/bdi.  This indicates the maximum percentage of
the global dirty threshold allocated to this bdi.

[mszeredi@suse.cz]

 - fix parsing in max_ratio_store().
 - export bdi_set_max_ratio() to modules
 - limit bdi_dirty with bdi->max_ratio
 - document new sysfs attribute

lib: proportion: fix underflow in prop_norm_percpu()

2007-12-23T20:54:37+00:00

Zhe Jiang noticed that its possible to underflow pl->events in
prop_norm_percpu() when the value returned by percpu_counter_read() is less
than the error on that read and the period delay > 1.  In that case half might
not trigger the batch increment and the value will be identical on the next
iteration, causing the same half to be subtracted again and again.

Fix this by rewriting the division as a single subtraction instead of a
subtraction loop and using percpu_counter_sum() when the value returned by
percpu_counter_read() is smaller than the error.

The latter is still needed if we want pl->events to shrink properly in the
error region.
