* Documentation: update hugetlb informationNishanth Aravamudan2007-12-172-6/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The hugetlb documentation has gotten a bit out of sync with the current code. Updated the sysctl file to refer to Documentation/vm/hugetlbpage.txt. Update that file to contain the current state of affairs (with the newer named sysctl in place).

* bonding: Add new layer2+3 hash for xor/802.3ad modesJay Vosburgh2007-12-071-2/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add new hash for balance-xor and 802.3ad modes. Originally submitted by "Glenn Griffin" <ggriffin.kernel@gmail.com>; modified by Jay Vosburgh to move setting of hash policy out of line, tweak the documentation update and add version update to 3.2.2. Glenn's original comment follows: Included is a patch for a new xmit_hash_policy for the bonding driver that selects slaves based on MAC and IP information. This is a middle ground between what currently exists in the layer2 only policy and the layer3+4 policy. This policy strives to be fully 802.3ad compliant by transmitting every packet of any particular flow over the same link. As documented the layer3+4 policy is not fully compliant for extreme cases such as ip fragmentation, so this policy is a nice compromise for environments that require full compliance but desire more than the layer2 only policy.

* The namespaces compatibility list docPavel Emelyanov2007-11-292-0/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | People discuss how the namespaces are working/going-to-work together. Ted Ts'o proposed to create some document that describes what problems user may have when he/she creates some new namespace, but keeps others shared. I liked this idea, so here's the initial version of such a document with the problems I currently have in mind and can describe somewhat audibly - the "namespaces compatibility list". The Documentation/namespaces/ directory is about to contain more docs about the namespaces stuff.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Newer Lenovo BIOSes support the standard ACPI backlight brightness interface (_BCM, _BQC, _BCL). It should be used instead of the native thinkpad backlight brightness control interface when possible. This patch disables the native brightness support in the driver by default when we detect that the standard ACPI interface is available. The local admin can still enable it using the module parameter "brightness_enable". Note that we need to detect the standard ACPI backlight interface only in boxes for which we would load the native backlight interface in the first place, and that no ThinkPad BIOS has _BCL but misses the other methods, so the detection routines can be really simple.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a "brightness_enable" module parameter that allows the local admin to force the backlight support to not be enabled. It can also be used to force the backlight support to be enabled, but that is currently a no-op as the backlight support is enabled by default when available. This will be changed by a different patch. Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
| | * ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: support 16 levels of brightness (v3)Henrique de Moraes Holschuh2007-11-051-26/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Lenovo ThinkPads often have 16 brightness levels in EC, and not just eight levels like older ThinkPads. They also have standard ACPI backlight brightness control. We detect the number of brightness levels by the presence of a BCLL package with 16 entries. If BCLL is not there, we assume eight levels (Z6*). If it is there, but it doesn't have 16 entries, we assume eight levels (T60). Otherwise we assume sixteen levels (T61, X61, etc). We don't use _BCL because it can have side-effects in thinkpads. Thanks to Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> for notifying me of this potential problem. Using the standard ACPI backlight brightness control *instead* of the native thinkpad backlight control is a better idea, though. A different patch will take care of this.

But as Anthony Liguori points out, the free-running indices used by virtio require that the sizes be a power of 2, otherwise we get problems on wrap (demonstrated with lguest). So we replace the clever "2^n-1" scheme with a simple "align to page boundary" scheme: this means that all virtio rings take at least two pages, but it's safer than guessing cache alignment.

The former is an implementation detail of the L1 cache which can be useful for performance optimisations, the later is the actual size on which the cache control instructions operate, which can be different. For some reason, we had a weird hack reading the right property on powermac and the wrong one on any other 64 bits (32 bits is unaffected as it only uses the cputable for cache block size infos at this stage). This fixes the booting-without-of.txt documentation to mention the right properties, and fixes the 64 bits initialization code to look for the block size first, with a fallback to the line size if the property is missing.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Grant Grundler was asking for more detail about correct usage of local atomic operations and suggested adding the resulting summary to local_ops.txt. "Please add a bit more detail. If DaveM is correct (he normally is), then there must be limits on how the local_t can be used in the kernel process and interrupt contexts. I'd like those rules spelled out very clearly since it's easy to get wrong and tracking down such a bug is quite painful."
