drm/i915: more struct_mutex locking

2011-06-28T01:00:14Z

When auditing the locking in i915_gem.c (for a prospective change which I then abandoned), I noticed two places where struct_mutex is not held across GEM object manipulations that would usually require it. Since one is in initial setup and the other in driver unload, I'm guessing the mutex is not required for either; but post a patch in case it is.

drm/i915: use shmem_truncate_range

2011-06-28T01:00:14Z

The interface to ->truncate_range is changing very slightly: once "tmpfs: take control of its truncate_range" has been applied, this can be applied. For now there is only a slight inefficiency while this remains unapplied, but it will soon become essential for managing shmem's use of swap. Change i915_gem_object_truncate() to use shmem_truncate_range() directly: which should also spare i915 later change if we switch from inode_operations->truncate_range to file_operations->fallocate.

drm/i915: use shmem_read_mapping_page

2011-06-28T01:00:13Z

Soon tmpfs will stop supporting ->readpage and read_cache_page_gfp(): once "tmpfs: add shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp" has been applied, this patch can be applied to ease the transition. Make i915_gem_object_get_pages_gtt() use shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() in the one place it's needed; elsewhere use shmem_read_mapping_page(), with the mapping's gfp_mask properly initialized. Forget about __GFP_COLD: since tmpfs initializes its pages with memset, asking for a cold page is counter-productive. Include linux/shmem_fs.h also in drm_gem.c: with shmem_file_setup() now declared there too, we shall remove the prototype from linux/mm.h later.

drm/ttm: use shmem_read_mapping_page

2011-06-28T01:00:13Z

Soon tmpfs will stop supporting ->readpage and read_mapping_page(): once "tmpfs: add shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp" has been applied, this patch can be applied to ease the transition. ttm_tt_swapin() and ttm_tt_swapout() use shmem_read_mapping_page() in place of read_mapping_page(), since their swap_space has been created with shmem_file_setup().

drivers/misc/ioc4.c: fix section mismatch / race condition

2011-06-28T01:00:13Z

Fix this section mismatch: WARNING: drivers/misc/ioc4.o(.data+0x144): Section mismatch in reference from the variable ioc4_load_modules_work to the function .devinit.text:ioc4_load_modules() The variable ioc4_load_modules_work references the function __devinit ioc4_load_modules() If the reference is valid then annotate the variable with __init* or __refdata (see linux/init.h) or name the variable: *driver, *_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console This one is potentially fatal; by the time ioc4_load_modules is invoked it may already have been freed. For that reason ioc4_load_modules_work can't be turned to __devinitdata but also because it's referenced in ioc4_exit.

Fix this section mismatch: WARNING: drivers/leds/leds-lp5523.o(.text+0x12f4): Section mismatch in reference from the function lp5523_probe() to the function .init.text:lp5523_init_led() The function lp5523_probe() references the function __init lp5523_init_led(). This is often because lp5523_probe lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of lp5523_init_led is wrong. Fixing this one triggers one more mismatch, fix that one as well.

memcg: fix direct softlimit reclaim to be called in limit path

2011-06-28T01:00:13Z

Commit d149e3b25d7c ("memcg: add the soft_limit reclaim in global direct reclaim") adds a softlimit hook to shrink_zones(). By this, soft limit is called as try_to_free_pages() do_try_to_free_pages() shrink_zones() mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim() Then, direct reclaim is memcg softlimit hint aware, now. But, the memory cgroup's "limit" path can call softlimit shrinker. try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages() do_try_to_free_pages() shrink_zones() mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim() This will cause a global reclaim when a memcg hits limit. This is bug. soft_limit_reclaim() should be called when scanning_global_lru(sc) == true. And the commit adds a variable "total_scanned" for counting softlimit scanned pages....it's not "total". This patch removes the variable and update sc->nr_scanned instead of it. This will affect shrink_slab()'s scan condition but, global LRU is scanned by softlimit and I think this change makes sense. TODO: avoid too much scanning of a zone when softlimit did enough work.
