jc: fixed conflict with willy's memory-allocation tag patch.

docs/mm: update kmalloc kernel-doc description

2018-11-20T16:20:34+00:00

Add references to GFP documentation and the memory-allocation.rst and remove GFP_USER, GFP_DMA and GFP_NOIO descriptions. While on it slightly change the formatting so that the list of GFP flags will be rendered as "description" in the generated html. Signed-off-by: Mike Rapoport Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

mm, thp: consolidate THP gfp handling into alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask

2018-11-03T17:09:37+00:00

THP allocation mode is quite complex and it depends on the defrag mode. This complexity is hidden in alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask from a large part currently. The NUMA special casing (namely __GFP_THISNODE) is however independent and placed in alloc_pages_vma currently. This both adds an unnecessary branch to all vma based page allocation requests and it makes the code more complex unnecessarily as well. Not to mention that e.g. shmem THP used to do the node reclaiming unconditionally regardless of the defrag mode until recently. This was not only unexpected behavior but it was also hardly a good default behavior and I strongly suspect it was just a side effect of the code sharing more than a deliberate decision which suggests that such a layering is wrong. Get rid of the thp special casing from alloc_pages_vma and move the logic to alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask. __GFP_THISNODE is applied to the resulting gfp mask only when the direct reclaim is not requested and when there is no explicit numa binding to preserve the current logic. Please note that there's also a slight difference wrt MPOL_BIND now. The previous code would avoid using __GFP_THISNODE if the local node was outside of policy_nodemask(). After this patch __GFP_THISNODE is avoided for all MPOL_BIND policies. So there's a difference that if local node is actually allowed by the bind policy's nodemask, previously __GFP_THISNODE would be added, but now it won't be. From the behavior POV this is still correct because the policy nodemask is used.

include/linux/notifier.h: SRCU: fix ctags

2018-11-03T17:09:37+00:00

ctags indexing ("make tags" command) throws this warning: ctags: Warning: include/linux/notifier.h:125: null expansion of name pattern "\1" This is the result of DEFINE_PER_CPU() macro expansion. Fix that by getting rid of line break. Similar fix was already done in commit 25528213fe9f ("tags: Fix DEFINE_PER_CPU expansions"), but this one probably wasn't noticed.

clocksource/drivers/c-sky: Add C-SKY SMP timer

2018-11-02T18:39:54+00:00

The driver is for C-SKY SMP timer. It only supports oneshot event and 32bit overflow for clocksource. Per cpu core has one timer and all timers share one clock-counter-input from the same clocksource. This use mfcr&mtcr instructions to access the regs.

Pull block layer fixes from Jens Axboe: "The biggest part of this pull request is the revert of the blkcg cleanup series. It had one fix earlier for a stacked device issue, but another one was reported. Rather than play whack-a-mole with this, revert the entire series and try again for the next kernel release. Apart from that, only small fixes/changes. Summary: - Indentation fixup for mtip32xx (Colin Ian King) - The blkcg cleanup series revert (Dennis Zhou) - Two NVMe fixes. One fixing a regression in the nvme request initialization in this merge window, causing nvme-fc to not work. The other is a suspend/resume p2p resource issue (James, Keith) - Fix sg discard merge, allowing us to merge in cases where we didn't before (Jianchao Wang) - Call rq_qos_exit() after the queue is frozen, preventing a hang (Ming) - Fix brd queue setup, fixing an oops if we fail setting up all devices (Ming)" * tag 'for-linus-20181102' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: nvme-pci: fix conflicting p2p resource adds nvme-fc: fix request private initialization blkcg: revert blkcg cleanups series block: brd: associate with queue until adding disk block: call rq_qos_exit() after queue is frozen mtip32xx: clean an indentation issue, remove extraneous tabs block: fix the DISCARD request merge
