mm: replace various uses of num_physpages by totalram_pages

2010-04-01T22:55:50Z

commit 4481374ce88ba8f460c8b89f2572027bd27057d0 upstream. Sizing of memory allocations shouldn't depend on the number of physical pages found in a system, as that generally includes (perhaps a huge amount of) non-RAM pages. The amount of what actually is usable as storage should instead be used as a basis here. Some of the calculations (i.e. those not intending to use high memory) should likely even use (totalram_pages - totalhigh_pages).

Security/SELinux: seperate lsm specific mmap_min_addr

2009-08-17T05:09:11Z

Currently SELinux enforcement of controls on the ability to map low memory is determined by the mmap_min_addr tunable. This patch causes SELinux to ignore the tunable and instead use a seperate Kconfig option specific to how much space the LSM should protect. The tunable will now only control the need for CAP_SYS_RAWIO and SELinux permissions will always protect the amount of low memory designated by CONFIG_LSM_MMAP_MIN_ADDR. This allows users who need to disable the mmap_min_addr controls (usual reason being they run WINE as a non-root user) to do so and still have SELinux controls preventing confined domains (like a web server) from being able to map some area of low memory.

clarify get_user_pages() prototype

2009-06-25T18:22:13Z

Currently the 4th parameter of get_user_pages() is called len, but its in pages, not bytes. Rename the thing to nr_pages to avoid future confusion. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Move FAULT_FLAG_xyz into handle_mm_fault() callers

2009-06-21T20:08:22Z

This allows the callers to now pass down the full set of FAULT_FLAG_xyz flags to handle_mm_fault(). All callers have been (mechanically) converted to the new calling convention, there's almost certainly room for architectures to clean up their code and then add FAULT_FLAG_RETRY when that support is added.

mm cleanup: shmem_file_setup: 'char ' -> 'const char ' for name argument

2009-06-17T02:47:44Z

As function shmem_file_setup does not modify/allocate/free/pass given filename - mark it as const. Signed-off-by: Sergei Trofimovich Cc: Hugh Dickins Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

page-allocator: add inactive ratio calculation function of each zone

2009-06-17T02:47:42Z

Factor the per-zone arithemetic inside setup_per_zone_inactive_ratio()'s loop into a a separate function, calculate_zone_inactive_ratio().

page-allocator: clean up functions related to pages_min

2009-06-17T02:47:41Z

Change the names of two functions. It doesn't affect behavior. Presently, setup_per_zone_pages_min() changes low, high of zone as well as min. So a better name is setup_per_zone_wmarks(). That's because Mel changed zone->pages_[hig/low/min] to zone->watermark array in "page allocator: replace the watermark-related union in struct zone with a watermark[] array". * setup_per_zone_pages_min => setup_per_zone_wmarks Of course, we have to change init_per_zone_pages_min, too. There are not pages_min any more. * init_per_zone_pages_min => init_per_zone_wmark_min [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Minchan Kim Acked-by: Mel Gorman Cc: KOSAKI Motohiro Cc: Rik van Riel Cc: Johannes Weiner Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

mm: introduce follow_pfn()

Analoguous to follow_phys(), add a helper that looks up the PFN at a user virtual address in an IO mapping or a raw PFN mapping.

page allocator: do not check NUMA node ID when the caller knows the node is valid

2009-06-17T02:47:32Z

Callers of alloc_pages_node() can optionally specify -1 as a node to mean "allocate from the current node". However, a number of the callers in fast paths know for a fact their node is valid. To avoid a comparison and branch, this patch adds alloc_pages_exact_node() that only checks the nid with VM_BUG_ON(). Callers that know their node is valid are then converted.
