The comment states: 'Setting a tag on a not-present item is a BUG.' Hence
if 'index' is larger than the maxindex; the item _cannot_ be presen; it
should also be a BUG.
Also, this allows the following statement (assume a fresh tree):
radix_tree_tag_set(root, 16, 1);
to fail silently, but when preceded by:
radix_tree_insert(root, 32, item);
it would BUG, because the height has been extended by the insert.
In neither case was 16 present.

The ability to have height 0 radix trees (a direct pointer to the data item
rather than going through a full node->slot) quietly disappeared with
old-2.6-bkcvs commit ffee171812d51652f9ba284302d9e5c5cc14bdfd. On 64-bit
machines this causes nearly 600 bytes to be used for every <= 4K file in
pagecache.
Re-introduce this feature, root tags stored in spare ->gfp_mask bits.
Simplify radix_tree_delete's complex tag clearing arrangement (which would
become even more complex) by just falling back to tag clearing functions
(the pagecache radix-tree never uses this path anyway, so the icache
savings will mean it's actually a speedup).
On my 4GB G5, this saves 8MB RAM per kernel kernel source+object tree in
pagecache.
Pagecache lookup, insertion, and removal speed for small files will also be
improved.
This makes RCU radix tree harder, but it's worth it.

Modify the gen_pool allocator (lib/genalloc.c) to utilize a bitmap scheme
instead of the buddy scheme. The purpose of this change is to eliminate
the touching of the actual memory being allocated.
Since the change modifies the interface, a change to the uncached allocator
(arch/ia64/kernel/uncached.c) is also required.
Both Andrey Volkov and Jes Sorenson have expressed a desire that the
gen_pool allocator not write to the memory being managed. See the

Upgrade the zlib_inflate implementation in the kernel from a patched
version 1.1.3/4 to a patched 1.2.3.
The code in the kernel is about seven years old and I noticed that the
external zlib library's inflate performance was significantly faster (~50%)
than the code in the kernel on ARM (and faster again on x86_32).
For comparison the newer deflate code is 20% slower on ARM and 50% slower
on x86_32 but gives an approx 1% compression ratio improvement. I don't
consider this to be an improvement for kernel use so have no plans to
change the zlib_deflate code.
Various changes have been made to the zlib code in the kernel, the most
significant being the extra functions/flush option used by ppp_deflate.
This update reimplements the features PPP needs to ensure it continues to
work.
This code has been tested on ARM under both JFFS2 (with zlib compression
enabled) and ppp_deflate and on x86_32. JFFS2 sees an approx. 10% real
world file read speed improvement.
This patch also removes ZLIB_VERSION as it no longer has a correct value.
We don't need version checks anyway as the kernel's module handling will
take care of that for us. This removal is also more in keeping with the
zlib author's wishes (http://www.zlib.net/zlib_faq.html#faq24) and I've
added something to the zlib.h header to note its a modified version.

Observe rb_erase(), when the victim node 'old' has two children so
neither of the simple cases at the beginning are taken.
Observe that it effectively does an 'rb_next()' operation to find the
next (by value) node in the tree. That is; we go to the victim's
right-hand child and then follow left-hand pointers all the way
down the tree as far as we can until we find the next node 'node'. We
end up with 'node' being either the same immediate right-hand child of
'old', or one of its descendants on the far left-hand side.
For a start, we _know_ that 'node' has a parent. We can drop that check.
We also know that if 'node's parent is 'old', then 'node' is the
right-hand child of its parent. And that if 'node's parent is _not_
'old', then 'node' is the left-hand child of its parent.
So instead of checking for 'node->rb_parent == old' in one place and
also checking 'node's heritage separately when we're trying to change
its link from its parent, we can shuffle things around a bit and do
it like this...

goes through a global list of memory areas with mutex lock and do the

more than 40% drop in performance on some platforms. We suggest to set
DEBUG_MUTEX off by default. Or at least do that later when we feel that

It works like this:
Open the file
Read all the contents.
Call poll requesting POLLERR or POLLPRI (so select/exceptfds works)
When poll returns,
close the file and go to top of loop.
or lseek to start of file and go back to the 'read'.
Events are signaled by an object manager calling
sysfs_notify(kobj, dir, attr);
If the dir is non-NULL, it is used to find a subdirectory which
contains the attribute (presumably created by sysfs_create_group).
This has a cost of one int per attribute, one wait_queuehead per kobject,
one int per open file.
The name "sysfs_notify" may be confused with the inotify
functionality. Maybe it would be nice to support inotify for sysfs
attributes as well?

This is an extremely well-known technique. You can see a similar version that
uses a multiply for the last few steps at
http://graphics.stanford.edu/~seander/bithacks.html#CountBitsSetParallel whch
refers to "Software Optimization Guide for AMD Athlon 64 and Opteron
Processors"
http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/25112.PDF
It's section 8.6, "Efficient Implementation of Population-Count Function in
32-bit Mode", pages 179-180.
It uses the name that I am more familiar with, "popcount" (population count),
although "Hamming weight" also makes sense.
Anyway, the proof of correctness proceeds as follows:
b = a - ((a >> 1) & 0x55555555);
c = (b & 0x33333333) + ((b >> 2) & 0x33333333);
d = (c + (c >> 4)) & 0x0f0f0f0f;
#if SLOW_MULTIPLY
e = d + (d >> 8)
f = e + (e >> 16);
return f & 63;
#else
/* Useful if multiply takes at most 4 cycles */
return (d * 0x01010101) >> 24;
#endif
The input value a can be thought of as 32 1-bit fields each holding their own
hamming weight. Now look at it as 16 2-bit fields. Each 2-bit field a1..a0
has the value 2*a1 + a0. This can be converted into the hamming weight of the
2-bit field a1+a0 by subtracting a1.
That's what the (a >> 1) & mask subtraction does. Since there can be no
borrows, you can just do it all at once.
Enumerating the 4 possible cases:
0b00 = 0 -> 0 - 0 = 0
0b01 = 1 -> 1 - 0 = 1
0b10 = 2 -> 2 - 1 = 1
0b11 = 3 -> 3 - 1 = 2
The next step consists of breaking up b (made of 16 2-bir fields) into
even and odd halves and adding them into 4-bit fields. Since the largest
possible sum is 2+2 = 4, which will not fit into a 4-bit field, the 2-bit
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"which will not fit into a 2-bit field"
fields have to be masked before they are added.
After this point, the masking can be delayed. Each 4-bit field holds a
population count from 0..4, taking at most 3 bits. These numbers can be added
without overflowing a 4-bit field, so we can compute c + (c >> 4), and only
then mask off the unwanted bits.
This produces d, a number of 4 8-bit fields, each in the range 0..8. From
this point, we can shift and add d multiple times without overflowing an 8-bit
field, and only do a final mask at the end.
The number to mask with has to be at least 63 (so that 32 on't be truncated),
but can also be 128 or 255. The x86 has a special encoding for signed
immediate byte values -128..127, so the value of 255 is slower. On other
processors, a special "sign extend byte" instruction might be faster.
On a processor with fast integer multiplies (Athlon but not P4), you can
reduce the final few serially dependent instructions to a single integer
multiply. Consider d to be 3 8-bit values d3, d2, d1 and d0, each in the
range 0..8. The multiply forms the partial products:
d3 d2 d1 d0
d3 d2 d1 d0
d3 d2 d1 d0
+ d3 d2 d1 d0
----------------------
e3 e2 e1 e0
Where e3 = d3 + d2 + d1 + d0. e2, e1 and e0 obviously cannot generate
any carries.

Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org> says:
This patch set implements a number of patches to clean up and restructure the
bitmap region code, in addition to extending the interface to support
multiword spanning allocations.
The current implementation (before this patch set) is limited by only being
able to allocate pages <= BITS_PER_LONG, as noted by the strategically
positioned BUG_ON() at lib/bitmap.c:752:
/* We don't do regions of pages > BITS_PER_LONG. The
* algorithm would be a simple look for multiple zeros in the
* array, but there's no driver today that needs this. If you
* trip this BUG(), you get to code it... */
BUG_ON(pages > BITS_PER_LONG);
As I seem to have been the first person to trigger this, the result ends up
being the following patch set with the help of Paul Jackson.
The final patch in the series eliminates quite a bit of code duplication, so
the bitmap code size ends up being smaller than the current implementation as
an added bonus.
After these are applied, it should already be possible to do multiword
allocations with dma_alloc_coherent() out of ranges established by
dma_declare_coherent_memory() on x86 without having to change any of the code,
and the SH store queue API will follow up on this as the other user that needs
support for this.

This change fixes this.

Avoid an atomic operation in kref_put() when the last reference is
dropped. On most platforms, atomic_read() is a plan read of the counter
and involves no atomic at all.

Moving uevent_seqnum and uevent_helper to kobject_uevent.c
because they are used even if CONFIG_SYSFS=n

This change reverts the 033b96fd30 commit
from Kay Sievers that removed the mount/umount uevents from the kernel.
Some older versions of HAL still depend on these events to detect when a
new device has been mounted. These events are not correctly emitted,
and are broken by design, and so, should not be relied upon by any
future program. Instead, the /proc/mounts file should be polled to
properly detect this kind of event.
A feature-removal-schedule.txt entry has been added, noting when this
interface will be removed from the kernel.
