CRIS does not demand alignment, so PageAnon's PAGE_MAPPING_ANON bit got mixed up with the low bit of the struct address_space *mapping pointer. Patch based on that from Mikael Starvik, but moved the alignment to the declaration of struct address_space itself, and align to sizeof(long) so it's well-aligned on all architectures.

High latency observed when deleting a large video file from tmpfs. shmem_truncate held info->lock (easily dropped) and nested atomic kmaps (more awkward to handle, since it's structured to keep them) while scanning the many pages of its swap vector. Now be prepared to cond_resched every 64 ops (but scan an empty page in one go). shmem_free_pages to free a linked list of empty swap vector pages at the end (cond_resched every 64): could still free them one by one in the main loop, but this foreshadows scalability changes - which will want to use RCU on them, only freeing the pages after a grace period.

CommitLimit was a good addition to /proc/meminfo, but we don't usually show both what's used and what's free: don't waste lines of screenspace, omit CommitAvail, let the user do the arithmetic as with all the others. And in updating that Documentation, removed the long-gone ReverseMaps.

The sixth "data" field of /proc/$pid/statm was sometimes negative: text is a subset of shared_vm, and so was subtracted twice from total_vm.

The third "shared" field of /proc/$pid/statm in 2.4 was a count of pages in the mm whose page_count is more than 1 (oddly, including pages shared just with swapcache). That's too costly to calculate each time, so 2.6 changed it to the total file-backed extent. But Andrea knows apps and users surprised when (rss - shared) goes negative: we need to provide an rss-like statistic, close to the 2.4 interpretation. Something that's quick and easy to maintain accurately is mm->anon_rss, the count of anonymous pages in the mm. Then shared = rss - anon_rss gives a pretty good and meaningful approximation to 2.4's intention: wli confirms that this will be useful to Oracle too. Where to show it? I think it's best to treat this as a bugfix and show it in the third field of /proc/$pid/statm, after resident, as before - there's no evidence that the total file-backed extent was found useful. Albert would like other fields to revert to page counts, but that's a lot harder: if mprotect can change the category of a page, then it can't be accounted as simply as this. Only go that route if real need shown.

The procfs shared_vm accounting in do_mmap_pgoff didn't balance with munmap in the case of shared anonymous: because file comes in NULL, whereas vm_file gets set at the end by shmem_zero_setup. Update file; and update vm_flags (a driver is likely to add VM_IO or VM_RESERVED, modifying reserved_vm); and update pgoff (doesn't affect procfs accounting, but could affect vma_merge - though at present all drivers which modify vm_pgoff set a VM_SPECIAL which prevents merging). And do that __vm_stat_account before advancing to make_pages_present.

The NUMA policy for shared memory or tmpfs page allocation was protected by a semaphore. It helps to improve scalability if we change that to a spinlock (and there's only one place that needs to drop and reacquire). Oh, and don't even bother to get the spinlock while the tree is empty.

During system boot many probes, etc. will generate upcalls to userspace via call_usermodehelper(). This has the effect of calling execve() before the key subsystem has been initialized, and thus Oopsing on a NULL key_jar during key_alloc(). Move key_init to security_initcall so that it's called along with other security initialization routines which have similar requirements.

This patch fixes 3 problems with the nommu.c support code: 1. export mem_map and vmtruncate (to make them the same as MMU version) 2. update the total_vm usage in mmap routines Without this the OOM killer has no "badness" points to rate processes on... This patch was originally submitted by Giovanni Casoli <giovanni.casoli@atengineering.it> for a 2.4.26 kernel. I applied it to the 2.6.9 code. 3. provide stub for arch_get_unmapped_area Signed-off-by: Greg Ungerer <gerg@uclinux.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Kbuild can't fix up "-I $(src)/.." to the right directory due to the particular magic transformations it does on -I arguments. Remove the space, use "-I$(src)/.." and it works. Hopefully Sam will fix this build issue. I think somebody should dress up as scripts/Makefile.lib for Halloween. Now _that_ would be scary.

FB_INTEL selects AGP_INTEL (i.e. intel-agp.c), which is i386-only. AGP_INTEL itself depends on X86 && !X86_64 and for a good reason - it doesn't build elsewhere. Added dependency to FB_INTEL itself; as it is allmodconfig had been broken on everything outside i386.

Host drivers should now use the scatterlist rather than accessing the request directly. This marks the request pointer as being deprecated so that host driver authors get a chance to fix their drivers up before we remove this member.

This converts the PXA MCI driver to use the supplied scatter list rather than accessing the struct request directly, thereby making this host driver independent of the block layer. We also clean up the driver to use a consistent driver name for resources.

Convert MMCI driver to use the scatter list provided by the upper MMC layers. This removes all knowledge of struct request from the MMCI driver.

This is intended to remove block layer knowledge from MMC host drivers. Host drivers are expected to use the scatter list for data transfers rather than accessing the struct request.
