* memcg: update documentationKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2010-05-271-93/+198
| | | | | | | | | | | | Some information are old, and I think current document doesn't work as "a guide for users". We need summary of all of our controls, at least.

* memcg: move charge of file pagesDaisuke Nishimura2010-05-271-6/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for moving charge of file pages, which include normal file, tmpfs file and swaps of tmpfs file. It's enabled by setting bit 1 of <target cgroup>/memory.move_charge_at_immigrate. Unlike the case of anonymous pages, file pages(and swaps) in the range mmapped by the task will be moved even if the task hasn't done page fault, i.e. they might not be the task's "RSS", but other task's "RSS" that maps the same file. And mapcount of the page is ignored(the page can be moved even if page_mapcount(page) > 1). So, conditions that the page/swap should be met to be moved is that it must be in the range mmapped by the target task and it must be charged to the old cgroup.

* memcg: oom kill disable and oom statusKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2010-05-271-0/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a feature to disable oom-killer for memcg, if disabled, of course, tasks under memcg will stop. But now, we have oom-notifier for memcg. And the world around memcg is not under out-of-memory. memcg's out-of-memory just shows memcg hits limit. Then, administrator or management daemon can recover the situation by - kill some process - enlarge limit, add more swap. - migrate some tasks - remove file cache on tmps (difficult ?) Unlike oom-killer, you can take enough information before killing tasks.

* memcg: oom notifierKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2010-05-271-1/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Considering containers or other resource management softwares in userland, event notification of OOM in memcg should be implemented. Now, memcg has "threshold" notifier which uses eventfd, we can make use of it for oom notification. This patch adds oom notification eventfd callback for memcg. The usage is very similar to threshold notifier, but control file is memory.oom_control and no arguments other than eventfd is required. % cgroup_event_notifier /cgroup/A/memory.oom_control dummy (About cgroup_event_notifier, see Documentation/cgroup/) Signed-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Daisuke Nishimura <nishimura@mxp.nes.nec.co.jp> Cc: Balbir Singh <balbir@in.ibm.com> Cc: Daisuke Nishimura <nishimura@mxp.nes.nec.co.jp> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* | driver core: add devname module aliases to allow module on-demand auto-loadingKay Sievers2010-05-251-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds: alias: devname:<name> to some common kernel modules, which will allow the on-demand loading of the kernel module when the device node is accessed. Ideally all these modules would be compiled-in, but distros seems too much in love with their modularization that we need to cover the common cases with this new facility. It will allow us to remove a bunch of pretty useless init scripts and modprobes from init scripts. The static device node aliases will be carried in the module itself. The program depmod will extract this information to a file in the module directory: $ cat /lib/modules/2.6.34-00650-g537b60d-dirty/modules.devname # Device nodes to trigger on-demand module loading. microcode cpu/microcode c10:184 fuse fuse c10:229 ppp_generic ppp c108:0 tun net/tun c10:200 dm_mod mapper/control c10:235 Udev will pick up the depmod created file on startup and create all the static device nodes which the kernel modules specify, so that these modules get automatically loaded when the device node is accessed: $ /sbin/udevd --debug ... static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/cpu/microcode' c10:184 static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/fuse' c10:229 static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/ppp' c108:0 static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/net/tun' c10:200 static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/mapper/control' c10:235 udev_rules_apply_static_dev_perms: chmod '/dev/net/tun' 0666 udev_rules_apply_static_dev_perms: chmod '/dev/fuse' 0666 A few device nodes are switched to statically allocated numbers, to allow the static nodes to work. This might also useful for systems which still run a plain static /dev, which is completely unsafe to use with any dynamic minor numbers. Note: The devname aliases must be limited to the *common* and *single*instance* device nodes, like the misc devices, and never be used for conceptually limited systems like the loop devices, which should rather get fixed properly and get a control node for losetup to talk to, instead of creating a random number of device nodes in advance, regardless if they are ever used. This facility is to hide the mess distros are creating with too modualized kernels, and just to hide that these modules are not compiled-in, and not to paper-over broken concepts.

One of these is based on the fragmentation. If the index is below 500, memory will not be compacted. This choice is arbitrary and not based on data. To help optimise the system and set a sensible default for this value, this patch adds a sysctl extfrag_threshold. The kernel will only compact memory if the fragmentation index is above the extfrag_threshold.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed that when I inject a fatal error to an endpoint via aer-inject, aer_root_reset() is called as reset_link for a downstream port at upstream of the endpoint: pcieport 0000:00:06.0: AER: Uncorrected (Fatal) error received: id=5401 : pcieport 0000:52:02.0: Root Port link has been reset It externally appears to be working, but internally issues some accesses to PCI_ERR_ROOT_COMMAND/STATUS registers that is for root port so not available on downstream port. This patch introduces default_downstream_reset_link that is a version of aer_root_reset() with no accesses to root port's register. It is used for downstream ports that has no reset_link function its specific. This patch also updates related description in pcieaer-howto.txt. Some minor fixes are included.

| * | | | PCI: create function symlinks in /sys/bus/pci/slots/N/Alex Chiang2010-05-111-0/+40

These links make it easier for users to figure out which devices actually live in what slots. For example: sapphire:/sys/bus/pci/slots # ls 1 10 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 sapphire:/sys/bus/pci/slots # ls -l 3 total 0 -r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 18 14:10 address lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 18 14:10 function0 -> ../../../../devices/pci0000:23/0000:23:01.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 18 14:10 function1 -> ../../../../devices/pci0000:23/0000:23:01.1 sapphire:/sys/bus/pci/slots # ls -l 3/function0/slot lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 18 14:13 3/function0/slot -> ../../../bus/pci/slots/3 The original form of this patch was written by Matthew Wilcox, and was enhanced to include links from the sysfs slots/ directory pointing back at the device functions.

These bugs do not affect the stability of the kernel and should not set the flag for TAINT_WARN. To allow for this, add WARN_TAINT() and WARN_TAINT_ONCE() macros that take a taint number as argument. Architectures that implement warnings using trap instructions instead of calls to warn_slowpath_*() now implement __WARN_TAINT(taint) instead of __WARN().

This allows excessive access if the guest sets cr0.wp=1 and accesses through this spte. Fix by making cr0.wp part of the base role; we'll have different sptes for the two cases and the problem disappears.

So let's implement that as an exit reason, specify it with a CAP and only really use it when userspace wants us to. The only user of it so far is MOL.

One example for that is the OSI interface, implemented in the next patch. In order to have a generic mechanism in how to enable capabilities individually, this patch introduces a new ioctl that can be used for this purpose. That way features we don't want in all guests or userspace configurations can just not be enabled and we're good.
