2010-06-18PCI/PM: Do not use native PCIe PME by defaultRafael J. Wysocki
Commit c7f486567c1d0acd2e4166c47069835b9f75e77b (PCI PM: PCIe PME root port service driver) causes the native PCIe PME signaling to be used by default, if the BIOS allows the kernel to control the standard configuration registers of PCIe root ports. However, the native PCIe PME is coupled to the native PCIe hotplug and calling pcie_pme_acpi_setup() makes some BIOSes expect that the native PCIe hotplug will be used as well. That, in turn, causes problems to appear on systems where the PCIe hotplug driver is not loaded. The usual symptom, as reported by Jaroslav Kameník and others, is that the ACPI GPE associated with PCIe hotplug keeps firing continuously causing kacpid to take substantial percentage of CPU time. To work around this issue, change the default so that the native PCIe PME signaling is only used if directly requested with the help of the pcie_pme= command line switch. Fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15924 , which is a listed regression from 2.6.33. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2010-05-27fs: introduce new truncate sequencenpiggin@suse.de
Introduce a new truncate calling sequence into fs/mm subsystems. Rather than setattr > vmtruncate > truncate, have filesystems call their truncate sequence from ->setattr if filesystem specific operations are required. vmtruncate is deprecated, and truncate_pagecache and inode_newsize_ok helpers introduced previously should be used. simple_setattr is introduced for simple in-ram filesystems to implement the new truncate sequence. Eventually all filesystems should be converted to implement a setattr, and the default code in notify_change should go away. simple_setsize is also introduced to perform just the ATTR_SIZE portion of simple_setattr (ie. changing i_size and trimming pagecache). To implement the new truncate sequence: - filesystem specific manipulations (eg freeing blocks) must be done in the setattr method rather than ->truncate. - vmtruncate can not be used by core code to trim blocks past i_size in the event of write failure after allocation, so this must be performed in the fs code. - convert usage of helpers block_write_begin, nobh_write_begin, cont_write_begin, and *blockdev_direct_IO* to use _newtrunc postfixed variants. These avoid calling vmtruncate to trim blocks (see previous). - inode_setattr should not be used. generic_setattr is a new function to be used to copy simple attributes into the generic inode. - make use of the better opportunity to handle errors with the new sequence. Big problem with the previous calling sequence: the filesystem is not called until i_size has already changed. This means it is not allowed to fail the call, and also it does not know what the previous i_size was. Also, generic code calling vmtruncate to truncate allocated blocks in case of error had no good way to return a meaningful error (or, for example, atomically handle block deallocation).

2010-05-27numa: update Documentation/vm/numa, add memoryless node infoLee Schermerhorn
Kamezawa Hiroyuki requested documentation for the numa_mem_id() and slab related changes. He suggested Documentation/vm/numa for this documentation. Looking at this file, it seems to me to be hopelessly out of date relative to current Linux NUMA support. At the risk of going down a rathole, I have made an attempt to rewrite the doc at a slightly higher level [I think] and provide pointers to other in-tree documents and out-of-tree man pages that cover the details. Let the games begin.

2010-05-27Documentation/filesystems/Locking: update documentation on llseek() wrt BKLJan Blunck
The inode's i_size is not protected by the big kernel lock. Therefore it does not make sense to recommend taking the BKL in filesystems llseek operations. Instead it should use the inode's mutex or use just use i_size_read() instead. Add a note that this is not protecting file->f_pos.
