mm: cleanup descriptions of filler arg

2011-07-26T03:57:10Z

The often-NULL data arg to read_cache_page() and read_mapping_page() functions is misdescribed as "destination for read data": no, it's the first arg to the filler function, often struct file * to ->readpage(). Satisfy checkpatch.pl on those filler prototypes, and tidy up the declarations in linux/pagemap.h. Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

sched: Isolate preempt counting in its own config option

2011-06-10T13:15:40Z

Create a new CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT that handles the inc/dec of preempt count offset independently. So that the offset can be updated by preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() even without the need for CONFIG_PREEMPT beeing set. This prepares to make CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP working with !CONFIG_PREEMPT where it currently doesn't detect code that sleeps inside explicit preemption disabled sections.

readahead: readahead page allocations are OK to fail

2011-05-25T15:39:25Z

Pass __GFP_NORETRY|__GFP_NOWARN for readahead page allocations. readahead page allocations are completely optional. They are OK to fail and in particular shall not trigger OOM on themselves.

mm: change __remove_from_page_cache()

2011-03-23T00:44:02Z

Now we renamed remove_from_page_cache with delete_from_page_cache. As consistency of __remove_from_swap_cache and remove_from_swap_cache, we change internal page cache handling function name, too.

mm: goodbye remove_from_page_cache()

2011-03-23T00:44:02Z

Now delete_from_page_cache() replaces remove_from_page_cache(). So we remove remove_from_page_cache so fs or something out of mainline will notice it when compile time and can fix it.

mm: introduce delete_from_page_cache()

2011-03-23T00:44:02Z

Presently we increase the page refcount in add_to_page_cache() but don't decrease it in remove_from_page_cache(). Such asymmetry adds confusion, requiring that callers notice it and a comment explaining why they release a page reference. It's not a good API. A long time ago, Hugh tried it (http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/10/24/140) but gave up because reiser4's drop_page() had to unlock the page between removing it from page cache and doing the page_cache_release(). But now the situation is changed. I think at least things in current mainline don't have any obstacles. The problem is for out-of-mainline filesystems - if they have done such things as reiser4, this patch could be a problem but they will discover this at compile time since we remove remove_from_page_cache(). This patch: This function works as just wrapper remove_from_page_cache(). The difference is that it decreases page references in itself. So caller have to make sure it has a page reference before calling. This patch is ready for removing remove_from_page_cache().

mm: add replace_page_cache_page() function

2011-03-23T00:44:02Z

This function basically does: remove_from_page_cache(old); page_cache_release(old); add_to_page_cache_locked(new); Except it does this atomically, so there's no possibility for the "add" to fail because of a race. If memory cgroups are enabled, then the memory cgroup charge is also moved from the old page to the new. This function is currently used by fuse to move pages into the page cache on read, instead of copying the page contents.

Code has been converted over to the new explicit on-stack plugging, and delay users have been converted to use the new API for that. So lets kill off the old plugging along with aops->sync_page(). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
