When Antonino A. Daplas posted his "fbdev: Initialize i810fb after agpgart" patch he said that the ugly agp initialization hack for intel agp shouldn't be needed but that he couldn't test it. I have tested the framebuffer updates and additionally removed the initialization hack and it does indeed work. Signed-off-by:

Hopefully, this patch fixes one last major regression for one particular driver, namely matroxfb. This drier has 2 versions, one for the kernel and another as a '2.4 backport' patch. This patch adds a tileblitting extension to fbcon. This extension, in summary, is basically a forward-port of the 2.4 fbdev/fbcon framework to 2.6 but without the fbcon dependency. Tile blitting is similar to bitblit, except that the basic unit is a tile (a bitmap of x-by-y dimensions). The display, instead of being described in terms of pixels and scanlines, are described as a region further subdivided into rectangular sections. In fbcon parlance, a tile is a character. Besides a possible fix for matroxfb, tileblitting can be advantageous for hardware that supports some kind of fontcaching mechanism. Also, in the unlikely chance that the console begins supporting multicolored fonts, tileblitting is probably more optimal than bitblitting because bitblitting will need to push more data through the bus. To enable support for this extension, a driver needs to: - enable CONFIG_FB_TILEBLITTING - set FBINFO_MISC_TILEBLITTING in info->flags - set the required function pointers in struct fb_tileops. The required operations are: - void (*fb_settile)(struct fb_info *info, struct fb_tilemap *map); tells driver about the tile characteristics (dimensions, bitdepth) and about the tilemap which is an array of bitmaps: display->fontdata - void (*fb_tilecopy)(struct fb_info *info, struct fb_tilearea *area); move a rectangular section of tiles (bmove) - void (*fb_tilefill)(struct fb_info *info, struct fb_tilerect *rect); fill a rectangular section with a tile (clear) - void (*fb_tileblit)(struct fb_info *info, struct fb_tileblit *blit); copy an array of tiles to a rectangular section (putcs) - void (*fb_tilecursor)(struct fb_info *info, struct fb_tilecursor *cursor); cursor function Changes: Addition of this extension necessitates cleanup of fbcon.c. The basic drawing functions in fbcon are bmove, clear, putcs and cursor (the fbcon_* set). The fbcon_* set are just wrappers to accel_* set. However, usage is not consistent, some functions call the fbcon_* set, others call the accel_* set. With this patch, a new fbcon-specific structure (struct fbcon_ops) is created. Depending on the setting of the hardware, this struct contains pointers to either the tileblitting set or the bitblitting set (formerly the accel_* set). The tileblitting set is new in this patch. The vast majority of functions in fbcon will need to only call the fbcon_* set. In turn, it calls functions in struct fbcon_ops. Knowledge of the blitting type is not required. The accel_* set is renamed to bit_* and is moved into a separate file, bitblit.c. The tile blitting set is in tileblit.c. In my case at least, the cleanup did produce an unexpected but beneficial side effect, a little more speedup. Not much, < 5%. Petr, if you have comments, suggestions, or you think this is a bad idea, let me know. Signed-off-by: -

Swsusp turns off the display when a power-management-enabled framebuffer driver is used. According to Nigel Cunningham <ncunningham@linuxmail.org>, the fix may involve the following: "...I thought the best approach would be to use device classes to find the struct dev for the frame buffer driver, and then use the same code I use for storage devices to avoid suspending the frame buffer until later..." Changes: - pass info->device to class_simple_device_add() - add struct device *device to struct fb_info - store struct device in framebuffer_alloc() - for drivers not using framebuffer_alloc(), store the struct during initalization - port i810fb and rivafb to use framebuffer_alloc() Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes the 'fbcon=map:<option>" of fbcon. (This option has been present since 2.4, but got broken in 2.6). This particular option tells fbcon what framebuffer device gets mapped to what console. Syntax is: fbcon=map:abcd... where a, b, c, d,... are framebuffer numbers as it would appear in /proc/fb. Given only 2 valid fbdevs, 0 and 1, if fbcon=map:0110, then: tty1 = fb0 tty2 = fb1 tty3 = fb1 tty4 = fb0 (sequence repeats for the rest of the consoles) If an invalid framebuffer is used, then the console will be mapped to the first user-chosen framebuffer. Ie: fbcon=map:102 tty1 = fb1 tty2 = fb0 tty3 = fb1 <

We can shrink the pagevec structure to cacheline align it. It is used all over VM reclaiming and mpage pagecache read code. Right now it is 140 bytes on 64-bit and 72 bytes on 32-bit. Thats just a little bit more than a power of 2 (which will cacheline align), so shrink it to be aligned: 64 bytes on 32bit and 124bytes on 64-bit. It now occupies two cachelines most of the time instead of three. I changed nr and cold to "unsigned short" because they'll never reach 2 ^ 16.

Currently we every filesystem with Posix ACLs has it's own reimplemtation of the generic permission checking code with additonal ACL support. This patch - adds an optional callback to vfs_permission that filesystems can use for ACL support (and renames it to generic_permission because the old name was wrong - it wasn't like the other vfs_* functions at all) - uses it in ext2, ext3 and jfs. XFS will follow a little later as it's permission checking is burried under several layers of abstraction. From: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@austin.ibm.com> jfs doesn't currently set MS_POSIXACL (it doesn't require the acl mount option), so this test would fail here. The patch below will set it. Signed-off-by:

Here is the next incarnation of the CFQ io scheduler, so far known as CFQ v2 locally. It attempts to address some of the limitations of the original CFQ io scheduler (hence forth known as CFQ v1). Some of the problems with CFQ v1 are: - It does accounting for the lifetime of the cfq_queue, which is setup and torn down for the time when a process has io in flight. For a fork heavy work load (such as a kernel compile, for instance), new processes can effectively starve io of running processes. This is in part due to the fact that CFQ v1 gives preference to a new processes to get better latency numbers. Removing that heuristic is not an option exactly because of that. - It makes no attempts to address inter-cfq_queue fairness. - It makes no attempt to limit upper latency bound of a single request. - It only provides per-tgid grouping. You need to change the source to group on a different criteria. - It uses a mempool for the cfq_queues. Theoretically this could deadlock if io bound processes never exit. - The may_queue() logic can be unfair since it fluctuates quickly, thus leaving processes sleeping while new processes are allowed to allocate a request. CFQ v2 attempts to fix these issues. It uses the process io_context logic to maintain a cfq_queue lifetime of the duration of the process (and its io). This means we can now be a lot more clever in deciding which process is allowed to queue or dispatch io to the device. The cfq_io_context is per-process per-queue, this is an extension to what AS currently does in that we truly do have a unique per-process identifier for io grouping. Busy queues are sorted by service time used, sub sorted by in_flight requests. Queues that have no io in flight are also preferred at dispatch time. Accounting is done on completion time of a request, or with a fixed cost for tagged command queueing. Requests are fifo'ed like with deadline, to make sure that a single request doesn't stay in the io scheduler for ages. Process grouping is selectable at runtime. I provide 4 grouping criterias: process group, thread group id, user id, and group id. As usual, settings are sysfs tweakable in /sys/block/<dev>/queue/iosched axboe@apu:[.]s/block/hda/queue/iosched $ ls back_seek_max fifo_batch_expire find_best_crq queued back_seek_penalty fifo_expire_async key_type show_status clear_elapsed fifo_expire_sync quantum tagged In order, each of these settings control: back_seek_max back_seek_penalty: Useful logic stolen from AS that allow small backwards seeks in the io stream if we deem them useful. CFQ uses a strict ascending elevator otherwise. _max controls the maximum allowed backwards seek, defaulting to 16MiB. _penalty denotes how expensive we account a backwards seek compared to a forward seek. Default is 2, meaning it's twice as expensive. clear_elapsed: Really a debug switch, will go away in the future. It clears the maximum values for completion and dispatch time, shown in show_status. fifo_batch_expire fifo_batch_async fifo_batch_sync: The settings for the expiry fifo. batch_expire is how often we allow the fifo expire to control which request to select. Default is 125ms. _async is the deadline for async requests (typically writes), _sync is the deadline for sync requests (reads and sync writes). Defaults are, respectively, 5 seconds and 0.5 seconds. key_type: The grouping key. Can be set to pgid, tgid, uid, or gid. The current value is shown bracketed: axboe@apu:[.]s/block/hda/queue/iosched $ cat key_type [pgid] tgid uid gid Default is tgid. To set, simply echo any of the 4 words into the file. quantum: The amount of requests we select for dispatch when the driver asks for work to do and the current pending list is empty. Default is 4. queued: The minimum amount of requests a group is allowed to queue. Default is 8. show_status: Debug output showing the current state of the queues. tagged: Set this to 1 if the device is using tagged command queueing. This cannot be reliably detected by CFQ yet, since most drivers don't use the block layer (well it could, by looking at number of requests being between dispatch and completion. but not completely reliably). Default is 0. The patch is a little big, but works reliably here on my laptop. There are a number of other changes and fixes in there (like converting to hlist for hashes). The code is commented a lot better, CFQ v1 has basically no comments (reflecting that it was writting in one go, no touched or tuned much since then). This is of course only done to increase the AAF, akpm acceptance factor. Since I'm on the road, I cannot provide any really good numbers of CFQ v1 compared to v2, maybe someone will help me out there. Signed-off-by:

This patch modularizes the io schedulers completely, allowing them to be modular. Additionally it enables online switching of io schedulers. See also http://lwn.net/Articles/102593/ . There's a scheduler file in the sysfs directory for the block device queue: axboe@router:/sys/block/hda/queue> ls iosched max_sectors_kb read_ahead_kb max_hw_sectors_kb nr_requests scheduler If you list the contents of the file, it will show available schedulers and the active one: axboe@router:/sys/block/hda/queue> cat scheduler [cfq] Lets load a few more. router:/sys/block/hda/queue # modprobe deadline-iosched router:/sys/block/hda/queue # modprobe as-iosched router:/sys/block/hda/queue # cat scheduler [cfq] deadline anticipatory Changing is done with router:/sys/block/hda/queue # echo deadline > scheduler router:/sys/block/hda/queue # cat scheduler cfq [deadline] anticipatory deadline is now the new active io scheduler for hda.

Processes can sleep in do_get_write_access(), waiting for buffers to be removed from the BJ_Shadow state. We did this by doing a wake_up_buffer() in the commit path and sleeping on the buffer in do_get_write_access(). With the filtered bit-level wakeup code this doesn't work properly any more - the wake_up_buffer() accidentally wakes up tasks which are sleeping in lock_buffer() as well. Those tasks now implicitly assume that the buffer came unlocked. Net effect: Bogus I/O errors when reading journal blocks, because the buffer isn't up to date yet. Hence the recently spate of journal_bmap() failure reports. The patch creates a new jbd-private BH flag purely for this wakeup function. So a wake_up_bit(..., BH_Unshadow) doesn't wake up someone who is waiting for a wake_up_bit(BH_Lock). JBD was the only user of wake_up_buffer(), so remove it altogether. Signed-off-by:

Some of the parameters to __wait_on_bit() and __wait_on_bit_lock() are redundant, as the wait_bit_queue parameter holds the flags word and the bit number. This patch updates __wait_on_bit() and __wait_on_bit_lock() to fetch that information from the wait_bit_queue passed to them and so reduce the number of parameters so that -mregparm may be more effective. Incremental atop the complete out-of-lining of the contention cases and the fastcall and wait_on_bit_lock()/test_and_set_bit() fixes. Signed-off-by:

Move the slow paths of wait_on_bit() and wait_on_bit_lock() out of line. Also uninline wake_up_bit() to reduce the number of callsites generated, and adjust loop startup in __wait_on_bit_lock() to properly reflect its usage in the contention case.
