Here is the patch to implement madvise(MADV_REMOVE) - which frees up a
given range of pages & its associated backing store. Current
implementation supports only shmfs/tmpfs and other filesystems return
-ENOSYS.
"Some app allocates large tmpfs files, then when some task quits and some
client disconnect, some memory can be released. However the only way to
release tmpfs-swap is to MADV_REMOVE". - Andrea Arcangeli
Databases want to use this feature to drop a section of their bufferpool
(shared memory segments) - without writing back to disk/swap space.
This feature is also useful for supporting hot-plug memory on UML.
Concerns raised by Andrew Morton:
- "We have no plan for holepunching! If we _do_ have such a plan (or
might in the future) then what would the API look like? I think
sys_holepunch(fd, start, len), so we should start out with that."
- Using madvise is very weird, because people will ask "why do I need to
mmap my file before I can stick a hole in it?"
- None of the other madvise operations call into the filesystem in this
manner. A broad question is: is this capability an MM operation or a
filesytem operation? truncate, for example, is a filesystem operation
which sometimes has MM side-effects. madvise is an mm operation and with
this patch, it gains FS side-effects, only they're really, really
significant ones."
Comments:
- Andrea suggested the fs operation too but then it's more efficient to
have it as a mm operation with fs side effects, because they don't
immediatly know fd and physical offset of the range. It's possible to
fixup in userland and to use the fs operation but it's more expensive,
the vmas are already in the kernel and we can use them.
Short term plan & Future Direction:
- We seem to need this interface only for shmfs/tmpfs files in the short
term. We have to add hooks into the filesystem for correctness and
completeness. This is what this patch does.
- In the future, plan is to support both fs and mmap apis also. This
also involves (other) filesystem specific functions to be implemented.
- Current patch doesn't support VM_NONLINEAR - which can be addressed in
the future.

This patch makes truncate_inode_pages_range from truncate_inode_pages.
truncate_inode_pages became a one-liner call to truncate_inode_pages_range.
Reiser4 needs truncate_inode_pages_ranges because it tries to keep
correspondence between existences of metadata pointing to data pages and pages
to which those metadata point to. So, when metadata of certain part of file
is removed from filesystem tree, only pages of corresponding range are to be
truncated.

Two changes to the setting of the ALLOC_CPUSET flag in
mm/page_alloc.c:__alloc_pages()
- A bug fix - the "ignoring mins" case should not be honoring ALLOC_CPUSET.
This case of all cases, since it is handling a request that will free up
more memory than is asked for (exiting tasks, e.g.) should be allowed to
escape cpuset constraints when memory is tight.
- A logic change to make it simpler. Honor cpusets even on GFP_ATOMIC
(!wait) requests. With this, cpuset confinement applies to all requests
except ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS, so that in a subsequent cleanup patch, I can
remove the ALLOC_CPUSET flag entirely. Since I don't know any real reason
this logic has to be either way, I am choosing the path of the simplest
code.

The hash.h hash_long function, when used on a 64 bit machine, ignores many
of the middle-order bits. (The prime chosen it too bit-sparse).
IP addresses for clients of an NFS server are very likely to differ only in
the low-order bits. As addresses are stored in network-byte-order, these
bits become middle-order bits in a little-endian 64bit 'long', and so do
not contribute to the hash. Thus you can have the situation where all
clients appear on one hash chain.
So, until hash_long is fixed (or maybe forever), us a hash function that
works well on IP addresses - xor the bytes together.

Janos Haar of First NetCenter Bt. reported numerous crashes involving the
NBD driver. With his help, this was tracked down to bogus bio vectors
which in turn was the result of a race condition between the
receive/transmit routines in the NBD driver.
The bug manifests itself like this:
CPU0 CPU1
do_nbd_request
add req to queuelist
nbd_send_request
send req head
for each bio
kmap
send
nbd_read_stat
nbd_find_request
nbd_end_request
kunmap
When CPU1 finishes nbd_end_request, the request and all its associated
bio's are freed. So when CPU0 calls kunmap whose argument is derived from
the last bio, it may crash.
Under normal circumstances, the race occurs only on the last bio. However,
if an error is encountered on the remote NBD server (such as an incorrect
magic number in the request), or if there were a bug in the server, it is
possible for the nbd_end_request to occur any time after the request's
addition to the queuelist.
The following patch fixes this problem by making sure that requests are not
added to the queuelist until after they have been completed transmission.
In order for the receiving side to be ready for responses involving
requests still being transmitted, the patch introduces the concept of the
active request.
When a response matches the current active request, its processing is
delayed until after the tranmission has come to a stop.
This has been tested by Janos and it has been successful in curing this
race condition.

Some PCMCIA sockets have statically mapped memory windows, but dynamically
mapped IO windows. Using the "nonstatic" socket library is inpractical for
them, as they do neither need a resource database (as we can trust the
kernel resource database on m68k and ppc) nor lots of other features of that
library. Let them get a small "iodyn" socket library (105 lines of code)
instead.

Unify the EVENT_CARD_INSERTION and "attach" callbacks to one unified
probe() callback. As all in-kernel drivers are changed to this new
callback, there will be no temporary backwards-compatibility. Inside a
probe() function, each driver _must_ set struct pcmcia_device
*p_dev->instance and instance->handle correctly.
With these patches, the basic driver interface for 16-bit PCMCIA drivers
now has the classic four callbacks known also from other buses:
int (*probe) (struct pcmcia_device *dev);
void (*remove) (struct pcmcia_device *dev);
int (*suspend) (struct pcmcia_device *dev);
int (*resume) (struct pcmcia_device *dev);

I have recently been switching from using 2.4.32 on my trusty
old Sparc Blade 100 to using 2.6.15 . Some of the problems I ran into
were distorted video when the console was active (missing first
character, skipped dots) and when running X windows (colored snow,
stripes, missing pixels). A quick examination of the 2.6 versus 2.4
source for the ATY driver revealed alot of changes.
A closer look at the code/data for the 64GR/XL chip revealed
two minor "typos" that the rewriter(s) of the code made. The first is
a incorrect clock value (230 .vs. 235) and the second is a missing
flag (M64F_SDRAM_MAGIC_PLL). Making both these changes seems to have
fixed my problem. I tend to think the 235 value is the correct one,
as there is a 29.4 Mhz clock crystal close to the video chip and 235.2
(29.4*8) is too close to 235 to make it a coincidence.
The flag for M64F_SDRAM_MAGIC_PLL was dropped during the
changes made by adaplas in file revision 1.72 on the old bitkeeper
repository.
The change relating to the clock rate has been there forever,
at least in the 2.6 tree. I'm not sure where to look for the old 2.5
tree or if anyone cares when it happened.
On SPARC Blades 100's, which use the ATY MACH64GR video chipset, the
clock crystal frequency is 235.2 Mhz, not 230 Mhz. The chipset also
requires the use of M64F_SDRAM_MAGIC_PLL in order to setup the PLL
properly for the DRAM.
