2008-01-26[S390] Get rid of additional_cpus kernel parameter.Heiko Carstens7-155/+79
It caused only a lot of confusion. From now on cpu hotplug of up to NR_CPUS will work by default. If somebody wants to limit that then the possible_cpus parameter can be used. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

2008-01-26[S390] Remove owner_pc member from raw_spinlock_t.Heiko Carstens3-22/+10
Used to contain the address of the holder of the lock. But since the spinlock code is not inlined anymore all locks contain the same address anyway. And since in addtition nobody complained about that for ages its obviously unused. So remove it.

2008-01-26[S390] Change vmalloc defintionsChristian Borntraeger3-46/+26
Currently the vmalloc area starts at a dynamic address depending on the memory size. There was also an 8MB security hole after the physical memory to catch out-of-bounds accesses. We can simplify the code by putting the vmalloc area explicitely at the top of the kernel mapping and setting the vmalloc size to a fixed value of 128MB/128GB for 31bit/64bit systems. Part of the vmalloc area will be used for the vmem_map. This leaves an area of 96MB/1GB for normal vmalloc allocations.

2008-01-26[S390] Fix tlb flushing with idte.Martin Schwidefsky3-22/+19
The clear-by-asce operation of the idte instruction gets an asce (address-space-control-element) as argument to specify which TLBs need to get flushed. The current code passes a plain pointer to the start of the pgd without the additional bits which would make the pointer an asce. The current machines don't mind the difference but a future model might want to use the designation type control bits in the asce as a filter for the TLBs to flush.

2008-01-26[S390] Standby cpu activation/deactivation.Heiko Carstens8-193/+675
Add a new interface so that cpus can be put into standby state and configured state. Only offline cpus can be put into standby state or configured state. For that the new percpu sysfs attribute "configure" must be used. To put a cpu in standby state a "0" must be written to the attribute. In order to switch it into configured state a "1" must be written to the attribute. Only cpus in configured state can be brought online. In addition this patch introduces a static mapping of physical to logical cpus. As a result only the sysfs directories of present cpus will be created. To scan for new cpus the new sysfs attribute "rescan" must be used. Writing to /sys/devices/system/cpu/rescan will trigger a rescan of cpus and will create directories for new cpus. On IPL only configured cpus will be used. And on reboot/shutdown all cpus will remain in their current state (configured/standby).

There are two ways for a ccwgroup device to be unregistered: Via the ungroup attribute, or when on of the slave devices is killed by a machine check.

2008-01-25ocfs2/dlm: Clear joining_node on hearbeat node downTao Ma1-6/+6
Currently the process of dlm join contains 2 steps: query join and assert join. After query join, the joined node will set its joining_node. So if the joining node happens to panic before the 2nd step, the joined node will fail to clear its joining_node flag because that node isn't in the domain map. It at least cause 2 problems. 1. All the new join request will fail. So no new node can mount the volume. 2. The joined node can't umount the volume since during the umount process it has to wait for the joining_node to be unknown. So the umount will be hanged. The solution is to clear the joining_node before we check the domain map. Signed-off-by: Tao Ma <tao.ma@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>

2008-01-25[PATCH 1/2] ocfs2: add flock lock typeMark Fasheh5-0/+284
This adds a new dlmglue lock type which is intended to back flock() requests. Since these locks are driven from userspace, usage rules are much more liberal than the typical Ocfs2 internal cluster lock. As a result, we can't make use of most dlmglue features - lock caching and lock level optimizations in particular. Additionally, userspace is free to deadlock itself, so we have to deal with that in the same way as the rest of the kernel - by allowing a signal to abort a lock request. In order to keep ocfs2_cluster_lock() complexity down, ocfs2_file_lock() does it's own dlm coordination. We still use the same helper functions though, so duplicated code is kept to a minimum.

2008-01-25ocfs2: Local alloc window size changeable via mount optionSunil Mushran6-14/+62
Local alloc is a performance optimization in ocfs2 in which a node takes a window of bits from the global bitmap and then uses that for all small local allocations. This window size is fixed to 8MB currently. This patch allows users to specify the window size in MB including disabling it by passing in 0. If the number specified is too large, the fs will use the default value of 8MB. mount -o localalloc=X /dev/sdX /mntpoint Signed-off-by: Sunil Mushran <sunil.mushran@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
