This patch fixes a problem with the function enough_free_mem() used by
swsusp to verify if there is a sufficient number of memory pages available
to it to create and save the suspend image.
Namely, enough_free_mem() uses nr_free_pages() to obtain the number of free
memory pages, which is incorrect, because this function returns the total
number of free pages, including free highmem pages, and the highmem pages
cannot be used by swsusp for storing the image data.
The patch makes enough_free_mem() avoid counting the free highmem
pages as available to swsusp.

This patch introduces the swap map structure that can be used by swsusp for
keeping tracks of data pages written to the swap. The structure itself is
described in a comment within the patch.
The overall idea is to reduce the amount of metadata written to the swap and
to write and read the image pages sequentially, in a file-alike way. This
makes the swap-handling part of swsusp fairly independent of its
snapshot-handling part and will hopefully allow us to completely separate
these two parts in the future.
This patch is needed to remove the suspend image size limit imposed by the
limited size of the swsusp_info structure, which is essential for x86-64
systems with more than 512 MB of RAM.

[PATCH] x86: change_page_attr() fix
The 'make rodata read-only' patch in -mm exposes a latent bug in the 32-bit
change_page_attr() function, which causes certain CPUs (Those with NX
basically) to reboot instantly after pages are marked read-only.
The same bug got fixed a while back on x86-64, but never got propagated to
i386.
Stuart Hayes from Dell also picked up on this last June, but it never got
fixed, as the only thing affected by it aparently was the nvidia driver.
Blatantly stealing description from his post..
"It doesn't appear to be fixed (in the i386 arch). The
change_page_attr()/split_large_page() code will still still set all the
4K PTEs to PAGE_KERNEL (setting the _PAGE_NX bit) when a large page
needs to be split.
This wouldn't be a problem for the bulk of the kernel memory, but there
are pages in the lower 4MB of memory that's free, and are part of large
executable pages that also contain kernel code. If change_page_attr()
is called on these, it will set the _PAGE_NX bit on the whole 2MB region
that was covered by the large page, causing a large chunk of kernel code
to be non-executable."

[PATCH] x86: convert bigsmp to use flat physical mode
When we bring up a new CPU via INIT/startup IPI messages, the CPU that's
coming up sends a xTPR message to the chipset. Intel chipsets (at least)
don't provide any architectural guarantee on what the chipset will do with
this message. For example, the E850x chipsets uses this xTPR message to
interpret the interrupt operating mode of the platform. When the CPU
coming online sends this message, it always indicates that it is in logical
flat mode. For the CPU hotplug case, the platform may already be
functioning in cluster APIC mode at this time, the chipset can get confused
and mishandle I/O device and IPI interrupt routing.
The situation eventually gets corrected when the new CPU sends another xTPR
update when we switch it to cluster mode, but there's a window during which
the chipset may be in an inconsistent state. This patch avoids this
problem by using the flat physical interrupt delivery mode instead of
cluster mode for bigsmp (>8 cpu) support.

[PATCH] x86: Always relax segments
APM BIOSes have many bugs regarding proper representation of the appropriate
segment limits for calling the BIOS. By default, APM_RELAX_SEGMENTS is always
turned on to support running the APM BIOS on these buggy machines. Keeping
64k limits poses very little danger to the kernel, because the pages where the
APM BIOS is located will always be in low physical memory BIOS areas, which
should already be marked reserved, and only buggy BIOSes would possibly
overstep the segment bounds with writes to data anyway.
Since forcing stricter limits breaks many machines and is not default
behavior, it seems reasonable to deprecate the older code which may cause APM
BIOS to fault.
If you really have a badly enough broken APM BIOS that you have to turn off
APM_RELAX_SEGMENTS, seems like the best recourse here would be to disable the
APM BIOS and / or not compile it into your kernel to begin with, and / or add
your system to the known bad list.
The reason I want to deprecate this code is there is underlying brokenness
with the set_limit macros, and getting rid of many of the call sites rather
than rewriting them seems to be the simplest and most correct course of

available to support the allocation and it only working on directly mappable

[PATCH] vmscan: balancing fix
Revert a patch which went into 2.6.8-rc1. The changelog for that patch was:
The shrink_zone() logic can, under some circumstances, cause far too many
pages to be reclaimed. Say, we're scanning at high priority and suddenly
hit a large number of reclaimable pages on the LRU.
Change things so we bale out when SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages have been
reclaimed.
Problem is, this change caused significant imbalance in inter-zone scan
balancing by truncating scans of larger zones.
Suppose, for example, ZONE_HIGHMEM is 10x the size of ZONE_NORMAL. The zone
balancing algorithm would require that if we're scanning 100 pages of
ZONE_HIGHMEM, we should scan 10 pages of ZONE_NORMAL. But this logic will
cause the scanning of ZONE_HIGHMEM to bale out after only 32 pages are
reclaimed. Thus effectively causing smaller zones to be scanned relatively
harder than large ones.
Now I need to remember what the workload was which caused me to write this
patch originally, then fix it up in a different way...

As find_lock_page() already checks with TestSetPageLocked() that page is
locked, there is no need to call lock_page() that will try-lock page again

[PATCH] flatmem split out memory model
There are three places we define pfn_to_nid(). Two in linux/mmzone.h and one
in asm/mmzone.h. These in essence represent the three memory models. The
definition in linux/mmzone.h under !NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES is both the FLATMEM
definition and the optimisation for single NUMA nodes; the one under SPARSEMEM
is the NUMA sparsemem one; the one in asm/mmzone.h under DISCONTIGMEM is the
discontigmem one. This is not in the least bit obvious, particularly the
connection between the non-NUMA optimisations and the memory models.
Two patches:
flatmem-split-out-memory-model: simplifies the selection of pfn_to_nid()
implementations. The selection is based primarily off the memory model
selected. Optimisations for non-NUMA are applied where needed.
sparse-provide-pfn_to_nid: implement pfn_to_nid() for SPARSEMEM
This patch:
pfn_to_nid is memory model specific
The pfn_to_nid() call is memory model specific. It represents the locality
identifier for the memory passed. Classically this would be a NUMA node,
but not a chunk of memory under DISCONTIGMEM.
The SPARSEMEM and FLATMEM memory model non-NUMA versions of pfn_to_nid()
are folded together under NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES, while DISCONTIGMEM has its
own optimisation. This is all very confusing.
This patch splits out each implementation of pfn_to_nid() so that we can
see them and the optimisations to each.
