[PATCH] reiserfs: eliminate minimum window size for bitmap searching
When a file system becomes fragmented (using MythTV, for example), the
bigalloc window searching ends up causing huge performance problems. In a
file system presented by a user experiencing this bug, the file system was
90% free, but no 32-block free windows existed on the entire file system.
This causes the allocator to scan the entire file system for each 128k
write before backing down to searching for individual blocks.
In the end, finding a contiguous window for all the blocks in a write is an
advantageous special case, but one that can be found naturally when such a
window exists anyway.
This patch removes the bigalloc window searching, and has been proven to
fix the test case described above.

[PATCH] reiserfs: on-demand bitmap loading
This is the patch the three previous ones have been leading up to.
It changes the behavior of ReiserFS from loading and caching all the bitmaps
as special, to treating the bitmaps like any other bit of metadata and just
letting the system-wide caches figure out what to hang on to.
Buffer heads are allocated on the fly, so there is no need to retain pointers
to all of them. The caching of the metadata occurs when the data is read and
updated, and is considered invalid and uncached until then.
I needed to remove the vs-4040 check for performing a duplicate operation on a
particular bit. The reason is that while the other sites for working with
bitmaps are allowed to schedule, is_reusable() is called from do_balance(),
which will panic if a schedule occurs in certain places.
The benefit of on-demand bitmaps clearly outweighs a sanity check that depends
on a compile-time option that is discouraged.

This patch moves the bitmap loading code from super.c to bitmap.c
The code is also restructured somewhat. The only difference between new
format bitmaps and old format bitmaps is where they are. That's a two liner
before loading the block to use the correct one. There's no need for an
entirely separate code path.
The load path is generally the same, with the pattern being to throw out a
bunch of requests and then wait for them, then cache the metadata from the
contents.
Again, like the previous patches, the purpose is to set up for later ones.
Update: There was a bug in the previously posted version of this that resulted
in corruption. The problem was that bitmap 0 on new format file systems must
be treated specially, and wasn't. A stupid bug with an easy fix.
This is hopefully the last fix for the disaster that is the reiserfs bitmap
patch set.
If a bitmap block was full, first_zero_hint would end up at zero since it
would never be changed from it's zeroed out value. This just sets it
beyond the end of the bitmap block. If any bits are freed, it will be
reset to a valid bit. When info->free_count = 0, then we already know it's
full.

[PATCH] ntp: convert to the NTP4 reference model
This converts the kernel ntp model into a model which matches the nanokernel
reference implementations. The previous patches already increased the
resolution and precision of the computations, so that this conversion becomes

<linux@horizon.com> explains:
The original NTP kernel interface was defined in units of microseconds.
That's what Linux implements. As computers have gotten faster and can now
split microseconds easily, a new kernel interface using nanosecond units was
defined ("the nanokernel", confusing as that name is to OS hackers), and
there's an STA_NANO bit in the adjtimex() status field to tell the application
which units it's using.
The current ntpd supports both, but Linux loses some possible timing
resolution because of quantization effects, and the ntpd hackers would really
like to be able to drop the backwards compatibility code.
Ulrich Windl has been maintaining a patch set to do the conversion for years,
but it's hard to keep in sync.

[PATCH] Directed yield: cpu_relax variants for spinlocks and rw-locks
On systems running with virtual cpus there is optimization potential in
regard to spinlocks and rw-locks. If the virtual cpu that has taken a lock
is known to a cpu that wants to acquire the same lock it is beneficial to
yield the timeslice of the virtual cpu in favour of the cpu that has the
lock (directed yield).
With CONFIG_PREEMPT="n" this can be implemented by the architecture without
common code changes. Powerpc already does this.
With CONFIG_PREEMPT="y" the lock loops are coded with _raw_spin_trylock,
_raw_read_trylock and _raw_write_trylock in kernel/spinlock.c. If the lock
could not be taken cpu_relax is called. A directed yield is not possible
because cpu_relax doesn't know anything about the lock. To be able to
yield the lock in favour of the current lock holder variants of cpu_relax
for spinlocks and rw-locks are needed. The new _raw_spin_relax,

[PATCH] leds: turn LED off when changing triggers
I was playing with LED triggers when I noticed that changing from heartbeat
(or ide-disk) to "none" at the right moment would leave the LED stuck on.
This is easy to reproduce by doing "find / >/dev/null" with the ide-disk
trigger enabled and then switching to "none".
Here is a patch that fixes the problem by explicitly turning the LED off
after removing the existing trigger.

[PATCH] allow /proc/config.gz to be built as a module
The driver for /proc/config.gz consumes rather a lot of memory and it is in
fact possible to build it as a module.
In some ways this is a bit risky, because the .config which is used for
compiling kernel/configs.c isn't necessarily the same as the .config which was
used to build vmlinux.
But OTOH the potential memory savings are decent, and it'd be fairly dumb to
build your configs.o with a different .config.

which is neat code except a programmer needs to write size twice. Which
sometimes leads to mistakes. If len passed to kmalloc is smaller that len
passed to memcpy, it's straight overwrite-beyond-end. If len passed to
memcpy is smaller than len passed to kmalloc, it's either a) legit

[PATCH] maximum latency tracking: ALSA support
Add maximum latency tracking to the ALSA subsystem for PCM playback. In
ALSA, the playback application controls the buffer size and thus indirectly
the period of latency that it can deal with. This patch uses 75% of the
total available latency as threshold to announce to the latency subsystem;
While 75% is a crude heuristic it's a quite reasonable one; the remaining
25% can be used for all driver processing for the next samples which is
also proportional to the size of the buffer.
With ogg123 a latency setting of about 4msec was seen (at 44Khz), while
with the "play" command a much longer maximum tolerable latency was seen.
Other, more multimedia oriented players as well as games, will have a lot
smaller buffers to allow better synchronization and those will actually get
into the latency domains where there is impact on the power management
rules.

Add infrastructure to track "maximum allowable latency" for power saving
policies.
The reason for adding this infrastructure is that power management in the
idle loop needs to make a tradeoff between latency and power savings
(deeper power save modes have a longer latency to running code again). The
code that today makes this tradeoff just does a rather simple algorithm;
however this is not good enough: There are devices and use cases where a
lower latency is required than that the higher power saving states provide.
An example would be audio playback, but another example is the ipw2100
wireless driver that right now has a very direct and ugly acpi hook to
disable some higher power states randomly when it gets certain types of
error.
The proposed solution is to have an interface where drivers can
* announce the maximum latency (in microseconds) that they can deal with
* modify this latency
* give up their constraint
and a function where the code that decides on power saving strategy can
query the current global desired maximum.
This patch has a user of each side: on the consumer side, ACPI is patched
to use this, on the producer side the ipw2100 driver is patched.
A generic maximum latency is also registered of 2 timer ticks (more and you
lose accurate time tracking after all).
While the existing users of the patch are x86 specific, the infrastructure
is not. I'd like to ask the arch maintainers of other architectures if the
infrastructure is generic enough for their use (assuming the architecture
has such a tradeoff as concept at all), and the sound/multimedia driver
owners to look at the driver facing API to see if this is something they
can use.

In cases where the acpi memory-add event does not containe the pxm (node)
infomation allow the driver to look up node info based on the address. The
acpi_get_node call returns -1 if it can't decode the pxm info, this causes
add_memory to panic. acpi_get_node would have to decode the resource from the
handle (a lenghty proposition). This seems to be the cleanist point to
interject the hook.

[PATCH] PCI quirks update
This fixes two things
Firstly someone mistakenly used "errata" for the singular. This causes
Dave Woodhouse to emit diagnostics whenever the string is read, and so
should be fixed.
Secondly the AMD AGP tunnel has an erratum which causes hangs if you try
and do direct PCI to AGP transfers in some cases. We have a flag for
PCI/PCI failures but we need a different flag for this really as in this
case we don't want to stop PCI/PCI transfers using things like IOAT and the
new RAID offload work.
I'll post some updates to make proper use of the PCIAGP flag in the
media/video drivers to Mauro.
