      mlx5_core: Adjust hca_cap.uar_page_sz to conform to Connect-IB spec · 288dde9f
      Moshe Lazer authored 
      

Sparse reported an endianness bug in the assignment to hca_cap.uar_page_sz.

Fix the declaration of this field to be __be16 (which is what is in
the firmware spec), renaming the field to log_uar_pg_size to conform
to the spec, which fixes the endianness bug reported by sparse.

      mm: remove free_area_cache · 98d1e64f
      Michel Lespinasse authored 
      

Since all architectures have been converted to use vm_unmapped_area(),
there is no remaining use for the free_area_cache.

      zbud: add to mm/ · 4e2e2770
      Seth Jennings authored 
      

zbud is an special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages.  It
is designed to store up to two compressed pages per physical page.
While this design limits storage density, it has simple and
deterministic reclaim properties that make it preferable to a higher
density approach when reclaim will be used.

zbud works by storing compressed pages, or "zpages", together in pairs
in a single memory page called a "zbud page".  The first buddy is "left
justifed" at the beginning of the zbud page, and the last buddy is
"right justified" at the end of the zbud page.  The benefit is that if
either buddy is freed, the freed buddy space, coalesced with whatever
slack space that existed between the buddies, results in the largest
possible free region within the zbud page.

zbud also provides an attractive lower bound on density.  The ratio of
zpages to zbud pages can not be less than 1.  This ensures that zbud can
never "do harm" by using more pages to store zpages than the
uncompressed zpages would have used on their own.

This implementation is a rewrite of the zbud allocator internally used
by zcache in the driver/staging tree.  The rewrite was necessary to
remove some of the zcache specific elements that were ingrained
throughout and provide a generic allocation interface that can later be
used by zsmalloc and others.

This patch adds zbud to mm/ for later use by zswap.

      dm: optimize use SRCU and RCU · 83d5e5b0
      Mikulas Patocka authored 
      

This patch removes "io_lock" and "map_lock" in struct mapped_device and
"holders" in struct dm_table and replaces these mechanisms with
sleepable-rcu.

Previously, the code would call "dm_get_live_table" and "dm_table_put" to
get and release table. Now, the code is changed to call "dm_get_live_table"
and "dm_put_live_table". dm_get_live_table locks sleepable-rcu and
dm_put_live_table unlocks it.

dm_get_live_table_fast/dm_put_live_table_fast can be used instead of
dm_get_live_table/dm_put_live_table. These *_fast functions use
non-sleepable RCU, so the caller must not block between them.

If the code changes active or inactive dm table, it must call
dm_sync_table before destroying the old table.
