      [PATCH] Base set of LSM hooks for SysV IPC · f9274840
      Stephen D. Smalley authored
      The patch below adds the base set of LSM hooks for System V IPC to the
      2.5.41 kernel.  These hooks permit a security module to label
      semaphore sets, message queues, and shared memory segments and to
      perform security checks on these objects that parallel the existing
      IPC access checks.  Additional LSM hooks for labeling and controlling
      individual messages sent on a single message queue and for providing
      fine-grained distinctions among IPC operations will be submitted
      separately after this base set of LSM IPC hooks has been accepted.

      [PATCH] make bio->bi_max contain max vec entries · 60ac3a30
      Jens Axboe authored
      This changes the way we do pool lookups when freeing a bio.  Right now
      we use bi_max as a handle into bvec_array[], to find the pool where it
      came from.  This used to be just fine, because if you had a private bio,
      you could specify your own destructor.  But now we have bio_add_page()
      which also needs to know where the bio came from, or more precisely, it
      needs to know how many entries the bio can hold.
      
      So I've changed bi_max to bi_max_vecs, it now contains the number of vec
      entries in the bio. Privately allocated bio's (or on stack) can now just
      set bio->bi_max_vecs to reflect the max size. The pool index for the
      default destructor is stored in the top bits of bi_flags.

      It requires e2fsprogs-1.29; I've updated the Changes file to reflect

      [PATCH] move library functions from ramfs into libfs · 1b5dd0c2
      Andrew Morton authored
      From Bill Irwin
      
      The simple_link(), simple_unlink(), simple_rename(),
      simple_sync_file(), simple_rmdir(), and simple_empty() functions are
      easy to duplicate.  Basically, I duplicated them in an fs patch of
      mine, and Linus told me to put them in libfs.c
      
      Pat Mochel has acked the changes for driverfs (in that he'll convert
      the stuff over when they're available from libfs), and my hugetlbfs
      implementation was the thing that spurred the whole incident.

      [PATCH] free_area_init cleanup · 5b73f882
      Andrew Morton authored
      From Christoph Hellwig.
      
      If we always pass &contig_page_data into free_area_init_node for the
      non-distcontig case we can merge both versions of that function into
      one.  Move that one to page_alloc.c and thus kill numa.c which was
      totally misnamed, btw.

      [PATCH] numa: alloc_pages_node cleanup · e175e9b2
      Andrew Morton authored
      Patch from Christoph Hellwig
      
      It turns alloc_pages_node into a static inline, in the same fashion as
      alloc_pages.  There is no need for #ifdef CONFIG_NUMA in the patch, as
      the numa node identification functions are sensible enough to do the
      right thing for non-NUMA systems.  Moves alloc_pages_node from numa.c
      to gfp.h, and removes the EXPORT_SYMBOL which is no longer needed as
      this is now an inline.

      [PATCH] remove get_free_page() · 15e28e8d
      Andrew Morton authored
      This used to be a macro wrapper around get_zeroed_page().
      
      It was a dreadful choice of name, because it hid the fact that this
      function memsets the page.  Probably, lots of the callers didn't
      actually want to do that but this patch does not make such
      optimisations.
      
      At least now, people may spot a `get_zeroed_page' in there and realise
      that the page doesn't actually need to be initialised.
      
      The patch also changes get_zeroed_page() to go BUG if called with
      __GFP_HIGHMEM.  It returns the address of the page's memory and hence
      can only be used for direct-mapped pages (wli).

      [PATCH] node-local mem_map for ia32 discontigmem · 76a0722f
      Andrew Morton authored
      From Martin Bligh.
      
      This patch remaps the lmem_map (struct page) arrays for each node onto
      their own nodes.  This is non-trivial, since all of ZONE_NORMAL, and
      hence permanently mapped KVA resides on node 0.
      
      Very early in the boot sequence, it calculates the size of the lmem_map
      arrays (rounding up to the nearest large page size), and reserves a
      suitable amount of permanent KVA by shifting down max_low_pfn to create
      a gap between max_low_pfn and highstart_pfn (both of which are normally
      about 896Mb).
      
      It then uses the new set_pmd_pfn function to set up the pmds correctly
      so that the large pages point at the physical addresses reserved from
      the remote nodes.
      
      Tested on NUMA-Q and some ratty old i386 PC kicking around under my
      desk (on 2.5.36-mm1).  Was good for a 20% improvement in system time on
      kernel compile when I initially benchmarked it against 2.5.32 or
      something - due to a reduction in inter-node traffic, better
      interconnect cache usage and locality.  Should have no effect on any
      system other than i386 NUMA systems.

      [PATCH] discontigmem fixes and cleanups · 4b4b90a7
      Andrew Morton authored
      From Martin Bligh
      
      This patch fixes a nasty bug that wli found in buffer.c which
      cause an oops - we were using contig_page_data on a discontigmem
      machine. It's a slightly modified version of the fix wli suggested,
      tested on NUMA-Q.
      
      I've also added code to not define contig_page_data for discontigmem
      systems, to stop this from happening again. I wrapped a couple of
      bootmem functions that were using it in #ifndef CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM.
      I suppose it's possible (though unlikely) that some other discontig
      arch might need to wrap a couple of functions in their tree similarly,
      but any borkage will just give a simple clear compiler error telling
      them exactly where the problem is.

      [PATCH] NUMA-Q fixes · fa4de7cc
      Martin J. Bligh authored
      This patch basically just renames usages of CONFIG_MULTIQUAD to
      CONFIG_X86_NUMAQ. The original multiquad option covered a variety
      of sins, and just made a mess (my fault). After extensive community
      discussion, this is the naming scheme everyone agreed to - the
      CONFIG_X86_NUMAQ option already exists, we're just renaming usages
      of MULTIQUAD to it, and removing the MULTIQUAD option.
      
      Stuff that's really to do with clustered APIC mode is put under
      CONFIG_CLUSTERED_APIC instead, as it's not specific to the NUMA-Q.
      
      Note that the definitions of clustered_apic_mode are still duplicated,
      so the changes appear twice.  I'm not making it worse, just haven't
      fixed this one yet, will do that next.
