The observed behaviour for me is that it appears to be blocking the vblank interrupt on my box (or more accurately stopping the workqueue that the interrupt handler calls from running). And without the vblank my bus won't process dma and so therefore the attempt to register the device in question fails. But I can see no reason from a glance over the code why that (vblanks being blocked) would be the case - have I missed something and the vblanks will be blocked, or should I be looking elsewhere for...

The in-memory slot map uses the same magic as the on-disk one. There is a special value to mark a slot as invalid. It relies on the size of certain types and so on. Write a new in-memory map that keeps validity as a separate field. Outside of the I/O functions, OCFS2_INVALID_SLOT now means what it is supposed to. It also is no longer tied to the type size. This also means that only the I/O functions refer to 16bit quantities. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com> --- f...

The patch needs an ack, probably I just misunderstood the comments. Suppose that the main thread blocks the signal. In that case __group_complete_signal() tries to find another thread starting from signal->curr_target. The comment says about load-balancing, but this is not what happens? Suppose that wants_signal(signal->curr_target) == T. In that case we always choose the same ->curr_target thread. Isn't it better to try to "spread" the signals over the thread group? With this patch w...

NUMA slab allocator cpu migration bugfix The NUMA slab allocator (specifically, cache_alloc_refill) is not refreshing its local copies of what cpu and what numa node it is on, when it drops and reacquires the irq block that it inherited from its caller. As a result those values become invalid if an attempt to migrate the process to another numa node occured while the irq block had been dropped. The solution is to make cache_alloc_refill reload these variables whenever it drops and reacquires t...

The mempolicy mode constants, MPOL_DEFAULT, MPOL_PREFERRED, MPOL_BIND, and MPOL_INTERLEAVE, are better declared as part of an enum since they are sequentially numbered and cannot be combined. The policy member of struct mempolicy is also converted from type short to type unsigned short. A negative policy does not have any legitimate meaning, so it is possible to change its type in preparation for adding optional mode flags later. The equivalent member of struct shmem_sb_info is also changed from...

Add an optional mempolicy mode flag, MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES, that suppresses the node remap when the policy is rebound. Adds another member to struct mempolicy, nodemask_t user_nodemask, as part of a union with cpuset_mems_allowed: struct mempolicy { ... union { nodemask_t cpuset_mems_allowed; nodemask_t user_nodemask; } w; } that stores the the nodemask that the user passed when he or she created the mempolicy via set_mempolicy() or mbind(). When using MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES, wh...

Adds another optional mode flag, MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES, that specifies nodemasks passed via set_mempolicy() or mbind() should be considered relative to the current task's mems_allowed. When the mempolicy is created, the passed nodemask is folded and mapped onto the current task's mems_allowed. For example, consider a task using set_mempolicy() to pass MPOL_INTERLEAVE | MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES with a nodemask of 1-3. If current's mems_allowed is 4-7, the effected nodemask is 5-7 (the second, third, ...
