treewide: replace obsolete _refok by __ref

2016-08-02T21:31:41Z

There was only one use of __initdata_refok and __exit_refok __init_refok was used 46 times against 82 for __ref. Those definitions are obsolete since commit 312b1485fb50 ("Introduce new section reference annotations tags: __ref, __refdata, __refconst") This patch removes the following compatibility definitions and replaces them treewide. /* compatibility defines */ #define __init_refok __ref #define __initdata_refok __refdata #define __exit_refok __ref I can also provide separate patches if necessary. (One patch per tree and check in 1 month or 2 to remove old definitions) [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1466796271-3043-1-git-send-email-fabf@skynet.be Signed-off-by: Fabian Frederick Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Sam Ravnborg Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

make __section_nr() more efficient

2016-07-28T23:07:41Z

When CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME is disabled, __section_nr can get the section number with a subtraction directly.

mm: convert printk(KERN_ to pr_

2016-03-17T22:09:34Z

Most of the mm subsystem uses pr_ so make it consistent. Miscellanea: - Realign arguments - Add missing newline to format - kmemleak-test.c has a "kmemleak: " prefix added to the "Kmemleak testing" logging message via pr_fmt Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Acked-by: Tejun Heo [percpu] Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

mm: coalesce split strings

2016-03-17T22:09:34Z

Kernel style prefers a single string over split strings when the string is 'user-visible'. Miscellanea: - Add a missing newline - Realign arguments Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Acked-by: Tejun Heo [percpu] Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

x86, mm: introduce vmem_altmap to augment vmemmap_populate()

2016-01-16T01:56:32Z

In support of providing struct page for large persistent memory capacities, use struct vmem_altmap to change the default policy for allocating memory for the memmap array. The default vmemmap_populate() allocates page table storage area from the page allocator. Given persistent memory capacities relative to DRAM it may not be feasible to store the memmap in 'System Memory'. Instead vmem_altmap represents pre-allocated "device pages" to satisfy vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() requests.

mm: use macros from compiler.h instead of attribute((...))

2014-04-07T23:35:54Z

To increase compiler portability there is which provides convenience macros for various gcc constructs. Eg: __weak for __attribute__((weak)). I've replaced all instances of gcc attributes with the right macro in the memory management (/mm) subsystem.

mm/sparse: use memblock apis for early memory allocations

2014-01-22T00:19:47Z

Switch to memblock interfaces for early memory allocator instead of bootmem allocator. No functional change in beahvior than what it is in current code from bootmem users points of view. Archs already converted to NO_BOOTMEM now directly use memblock interfaces instead of bootmem wrappers build on top of memblock. And the archs which still uses bootmem, these new apis just fallback to exiting bootmem APIs. Signed-off-by: Santosh Shilimkar Cc: "Rafael J.

mm/sparsemem: fix a bug in free_map_bootmem when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP

2013-11-13T03:09:06Z

We pass the number of pages which hold page structs of a memory section to free_map_bootmem(). This is right when !CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP but wrong when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. When CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, we should pass the number of pages of a memory section to free_map_bootmem. So the fix is removing the nr_pages parameter. When CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, we directly use the prefined marco PAGES_PER_SECTION in free_map_bootmem. When !CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, we calculate page numbers needed to hold the page structs for a memory section and use the value in free_map_bootmem(). This was found by reading the code. And I have no machine that support memory hot-remove to test the bug now.

mm/sparsemem: use PAGES_PER_SECTION to remove redundant nr_pages parameter

2013-11-13T03:09:06Z

For below functions, - sparse_add_one_section() - kmalloc_section_memmap() - __kmalloc_section_memmap() - __kfree_section_memmap() they are always invoked to operate on one memory section, so it is redundant to always pass a nr_pages parameter, which is the page numbers in one section. So we can directly use predefined macro PAGES_PER_SECTION instead of passing the parameter.
