[PATCH] namespaces: utsname: use init_utsname when appropriate

2006-10-02T14:57:21Z

In some places, particularly drivers and __init code, the init utsns is the appropriate one to use. This patch replaces those with a the init_utsname helper. Changes: Removed several uses of init_utsname(). Hope I picked all the right ones in net/ipv4/ipconfig.c. These are now changed to utsname() (the per-process namespace utsname) in the previous patch (2/7) [akpm@osdl.org: CIFS fix] Signed-off-by: Serge E. Hallyn Cc: Kirill Korotaev Cc: "Eric W.

[PATCH] swsusp: Use memory bitmaps during resume

2006-09-26T15:49:02Z

Make swsusp use memory bitmaps to store its internal information during the resume phase of the suspend-resume cycle. If the pfns of saveable pages are saved during the suspend phase instead of the kernel virtual addresses of these pages, we can use them during the resume phase directly to set the corresponding bits in a memory bitmap. Then, this bitmap is used to mark the page frames corresponding to the pages that were saveable before the suspend (aka "unsafe" page frames). Next, we allocate as many page frames as needed to store the entire suspend image and make sure that there will be some extra free "safe" page frames for the list of PBEs constructed later. Subsequently, the image is loaded and, if possible, the data loaded from it are written into their "original" page frames (ie. the ones they had occupied before the suspend). The image data that cannot be written into their "original" page frames are loaded into "safe" page frames and their "original" kernel virtual addresses, as well as the addresses of the "safe" pages containing their copies, are stored in a list of PBEs. Finally, the list of PBEs is used to copy the remaining image data into their "original" page frames (this is done atomically, by the architecture-dependent parts of swsusp). Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

[PATCH] swsusp: Introduce memory bitmaps

2006-09-26T15:49:02Z

Introduce the memory bitmap data structure and make swsusp use in the suspend phase. The current swsusp's internal data structure is not very efficient from the memory usage point of view, so it seems reasonable to replace it with a data structure that will require less memory, such as a pair of bitmaps. The idea is to use bitmaps that may be allocated as sets of individual pages, so that we can avoid making allocations of order greater than 0. For this reason the memory bitmap structure consists of several linked lists of objects that contain pointers to memory pages with the actual bitmap data. Still, for a typical system all of these lists fit in a single page, so it's reasonable to introduce an additional mechanism allowing us to allocate all of them efficiently without sacrificing the generality of the design. This is done with the help of the chain_allocator structure and associated functions. We need to use two memory bitmaps during the suspend phase of the suspend-resume cycle. One of them is necessary for marking the saveable pages, and the second is used to mark the pages in which to store the copies of them (aka image pages). First, the bitmaps are created and we allocate as many image pages as needed (the corresponding bits in the second bitmap are set as soon as the pages are allocated). Second, the bits corresponding to the saveable pages are set in the first bitmap and the saveable pages are copied to the image pages. Finally, the first bitmap is used to save the kernel virtual addresses of the saveable pages and the second one is used to save the contents of the image pages. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

[PATCH] swsusp: Introduce some helpful constants

Introduce some constants that hopefully will help improve the readability of code in kernel/power/snapshot.c. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Acked-by: Pavel Machek Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Change the name of pagedir_nosave

2006-09-26T15:49:01Z

The name of the pagedir_nosave variable does not make sense any more, so it seems reasonable to change it to something more meaningful. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Acked-by: Pavel Machek Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] swsusp: Fix alloc_pagedir

Get rid of the FIXME in kernel/power/snapshot.c#alloc_pagedir() and simplify the functions called by it. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Acked-by: Pavel Machek Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] swsusp: Reorder memory-allocating functions

2006-09-26T15:48:59Z

Move some functions in kernel/power/snapshot.c to a better place (in the same file) and introduce free_image_page() (will be necessary in the future). Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Acked-by: Pavel Machek Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] swsusp: Fix mark_free_pages

2006-09-26T15:48:59Z

Clean up mm/page_alloc.c#mark_free_pages() and make it avoid clearing PageNosaveFree for PageNosave pages. This allows us to get rid of an ugly hack in kernel/power/snapshot.c#copy_data_pages(). Additionally, the page-copying loop in copy_data_pages() is moved to an inline function. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Cc: Pavel Machek Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] swsusp: clean up browsing of pfns

2006-09-26T15:48:58Z

Clean up some loops over pfns for each zone in snapshot.c: reduce the number of additions to perform, rework detection of saveable pages and make the code a bit less difficult to understand, hopefully.
