We perform ISR lookups twice: during interrupt injection and on EOI. Typical workloads only have a single bit set there. So we can avoid ISR scans by 1. counting bits as we set/clear them in ISR 2. on set, caching the injected vector number 3. on clear, invalidating the cache The real purpose of this is enabling PV EOI which needs to quickly validate the vector. But non PV guests also benefit: with this patch, and without interrupt nesting, apic_find_highest_isr will always return immediately without scanning ISR. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

This is a preparatory patch for the KVM/ARM implementation. KVM/ARM will use the KVM_IRQ_LINE ioctl, which is currently conditional on __KVM_HAVE_IOAPIC, but ARM obviously doesn't have any IOAPIC support and we need a separate define.

lpage_info is created for each large level even when the memory slot is not for RAM. This means that when we add one slot for a PCI device, we end up allocating at least KVM_NR_PAGE_SIZES - 1 pages by vmalloc(). To make things worse, there is an increasing number of devices which would result in more pages being wasted this way. This patch mitigates this problem by using kvm_kvzalloc().

Pull frontswap feature from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk: "Frontswap provides a "transcendent memory" interface for swap pages. In some environments, dramatic performance savings may be obtained because swapped pages are saved in RAM (or a RAM-like device) instead of a swap disk. This tag provides the basic infrastructure along with some changes to the existing backends." Fix up trivial conflict in mm/Makefile due to removal of swap token code changing a line next to the new frontswap entry. This pull request came in before the merge window even opened, it got delayed to after the merge window by me just wanting to make sure it had actual users. Apparently IBM is using this on their embedded side, and Jan Beulich says that it's already made available for SLES and OpenSUSE users. Also acked by Rik van Riel, and Konrad points to other people liking it too. So in it goes.

Cyrill Gorcunov reports that I broke the fdinfo files with commit 30a08bf2 ("proc: move fd symlink i_mode calculations into tid_fd_revalidate()"), and he's quite right. The tid_fd_revalidate() function is not just used for the <tid>/fd symlinks, it's also used for the <tid>/fdinfo/<fd> files, and the permission model for those are different. So do the dynamic symlink permission handling just for symlinks, making the fdinfo files once more appear as the proper regular files they are. Of course, Al Viro argued (probably correctly) that we shouldn't do the symlink permission games at all, and make the symlinks always just be the normal 'lrwxrwxrwx'. That would have avoided this issue too, but since somebody noticed that the permissions had changed (which was the reason for that original commit 30a08bf2 in the first place), people do apparently use this feature. [ Basically, you can use the symlink permission data as a cheap "fdinfo" replacement, since you see whether the file is open for reading and/or writing by just looking at st_mode of the symlink. So the feature does make sense, even if the pain it has caused means we probably shouldn't have done it to begin with. ] Reported-and-tested-by: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This reverts commit 5ceb9ce6. That commit seems to be the cause of the mm compation list corruption issues that Dave Jones reported. The locking (or rather, absense there-of) is dubious, as is the use of the 'page' variable once it has been found to be outside the pageblock range. So revert it for now, we can re-visit this for 3.6. If we even need to: as Minchan Kim says, "The patch wasn't a bug fix and even test workload was very theoretical".

New tmpfs use of !PageUptodate pages for fallocate() is triggering the WARNING: at mm/page-writeback.c:1990 when __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() is called from migrate_page_copy() for compaction. It is anomalous that migration should use __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() on an address_space that does not participate in dirty and writeback accounting; and this has also been observed to insert surprising dirty tags into a tmpfs radix_tree, despite tmpfs not using tags at all. We should probably give migrate_page_copy() a better way to preserve the tag and migrate accounting info, when mapping_cap_account_dirty(). But that needs some more work: so in the interim, avoid the warning by using a simple SetPageDirty on PageSwapBacked pages.

The comment above it says "Stat data, not accessed from path walking", but in fact some of inode fields we use for the common stat data was way down at the end of the inode, causing unnecessary cache misses for the common stat operations. The inode structure is pretty big, and this can change padding depending on field width, but at least on the common 64-bit configurations this doesn't change the size. Some of our inode layout has historically been to tro to avoid unnecessary padding fields, but cache locality is at least as important for layout, if not more. Noticed by looking at kernel profiles, and noticing that the "i_blkbits" access stood out like a sore thumb. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This patch implements two new messages that can be sent to the thin pool target allowing it to take a snapshot of the _metadata_. This, read-only snapshot can be accessed by userland, concurrently with the live target. Only one metadata snapshot can be held at a time. The pool's status line will give the block location for the current msnap. Since version 0.1.5 of the userland thin provisioning tools, the thin_dump program displays the msnap as follows: thin_dump -m <msnap root> <metadata dev> Available here: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools Now that userland can access the metadata we can do various things that have traditionally been kernel side tasks: i) Incremental backups. By using metadata snapshots we can work out what blocks have changed over time. Combined with data snapshots we can ensure the data doesn't change while we back it up. A short proof of concept script can be found here: https://github.com/jthornber/thinp-test-suite/blob/master/incremental_backup_example.rb ii) Migration of thin devices from one pool to another. iii) Merging snapshots back into an external origin. iv) Asyncronous replication.
