mm: move hugepage test examples to tools/testing/selftests/vm

2012-03-29T00:14:37Z

hugepage-mmap.c, hugepage-shm.c and map_hugetlb.c in Documentation/vm are simple pass/fail tests, It's better to promote them to tools/testing/selftests. Thanks suggestion of Andrew Morton about this. They all need firstly setting up proper nr_hugepages and hugepage-mmap need to mount hugetlbfs. So I add a shell script run_vmtests to do such work which will call the three test programs and check the return value of them. Changes to original code including below: a. add run_vmtests script b. return error when read_bytes mismatch with writed bytes. c. coding style fixes: do not use assignment in if condition [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build the targets before trying to execute them] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: Documentation/vm/ no longer has a Makefile. Fixes "make clean"] Signed-off-by: Dave Young Cc: Wu Fengguang Cc: Christoph Lameter Cc: Pekka Enberg Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

mm: move page-types.c from Documentation to tools/vm

2012-03-29T00:14:37Z

tools/ is the better place for vm tools which are used by many people. Moving them to tools also make them open to more users instead of hide in Documentation folder. This patch moves page-types.c to tools/vm/page-types.c. Also add a Makefile in tools/vm and fix two coding style problems: a) change const arrary to 'const char * const', b) change a space to tab for indent.

Pull cleancache changes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk: "This has some patches for the cleancache API that should have been submitted a _long_ time ago. They are basically cleanups: - rename of flush to invalidate - moving reporting of statistics into debugfs - use __read_mostly as necessary. Oh, and also the MAINTAINERS file change. The files (except the MAINTAINERS file) have been in #linux-next for months now. The late addition of MAINTAINERS file is a brain-fart on my side - didn't realize I needed that just until I was typing this up - and I based that patch on v3.3 - so the tree is on top of v3.3." * tag 'stable/for-linus-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/mm: MAINTAINERS: Adding cleancache API to the list. mm: cleancache: Use __read_mostly as appropiate. mm: cleancache: report statistics via debugfs instead of sysfs. mm: zcache/tmem/cleancache: s/flush/invalidate/ mm: cleancache: s/flush/invalidate/

pagemap: document KPF_THP and make page-types aware of it

page-types, which is a common user of pagemap, gets aware of thp with this patch. This helps system admins and kernel hackers know about how thp works.
