http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.10-rc2/2.6.10-rc2-mm4/
- Various fixes and cleanups
- A decent-sized x86_64 update.
- x86_64 supports a fourth VM zone: ZONE_DMA32. This may affect memory
reclaim, but shouldn't.

For pages which have a physical address <4G. I assume this was motivated
by the lack of an IOMMU on ia32e?

Is there code using the zone GFP mask yet ??

"This helps mainly graphic drivers who really need a lot of memory below
the 4GB area. Previous they could only use IOMMU+16MB GFP_DMA, which was
not enough memory."

Nope.

This one is still as bogus as it was when discussed last time. The
irda devices do need ISA DMA, which isn't supported by most architectures
that don't have CONFIG_ISA. So we'll allow selecting a driver that's
not compilable for the non-PeCee users in the world.

The purpose is probably to work around 32bit DMA limited devices on the broken
iAMD64 systems.
But I think it's a bad idea, x86_64 doesn't use CONFIG_HIGHMEM at all currenly,
and it could easily use it for that purpose like in the patch in older RH
kernels for ia64.

ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_DMA are both too overloaded to handle the 4GB
boundary. And it makes a lot of sense on more machine types than x86-64
(e.g. ia64, ia32 and others with 32-bit PCI but no zone representing it).

You mean its a private hook for a proprietary graphics driver, which
because it is that can't use it anyway ? That sounds dubious to me as
policy has always been to avoid such hooks. What other drivers need this
- I've seen people claim aacraid does which is untrue but no others.

Below is a re-base to 2.6.10-rc2-mm4 of a patch I posted earlier during
the original discussion of the above referenced patch. This patch
removes the unnecessary code in inode_doinit_with_dentry, replaces the
unused inherits flag field (legacy from earlier code) with a private
flag field, does not set the SID in selinux_inode_mark_private (leaving
it with the unlabeled SID, which will ensure that we notice it if it
ever reaches a SELinux permission check), and modifies SELinux
permission checking functions and post_create() to test for the private
flag and skip SELinux processing in that case. Please include if/when
the reiserfs/selinux patchset goes upstream. I know that Chris Wright
had raised the question of whether we should be using i_flags to convey
the "private" nature of the inode rather than using a security hook, but
didn't see any resolution of that issue.

If this is going to stay, I have one possible user. VMware's vmmon needs
to allocate two pages from memory below 4GB so it can use these pages
for code and page table root while switching from long mode to legacy
mode and back. After switch code can use PAE mode and access any memory
it wants, but as CR3 is 32bit only in legacy mode, and paging has to be
disabled while switching between modes, these two pages needs to be in
low 4GB.
Currently vmmon uses GFP_DMA for this allocation - which unnecessarily
limits memory available for this operation to 16MB, although any page
from low 4GB suffices.

oh.. it's a hook for the binary nvidia module....
might as well call the patch that then :)

My concerns are that the check has to be duplicated in any module,
and that thus far we've tried to keep out fs -> module communication,
letting vfs do it. This could at least be fs -> vfs communication,
and then either vfs or security framework could check flags and never
call into module on fs private objects.

That would also be a proprietary hook wouldn't it 8)
So far I can find none although I can find users for a 512Mb or 1Gb DMA
region. Several sound cards would benefit from this as would b44 and to
a small extent aacraid but no users who benefit for 32bit DMA. In the
video space it's even stranger because DRI doesn't need it, fbcon
doesn't need it and even beyond the supported open source hardware
PCI-Express is the non-AGPGART user and that is 64bit. Even for the
users I can find it seems a risky path because of the past problems
trying to get zone balancing working.
Or do we have someone whose driver is not only proprietary but has crap
hardware ?

We had very bad experiences with zone balancing that configuration and
I'm concerned we'd see the same again with such a zone on systems.
Particulary since nothing I can find needs such a zone but can use
swiommu and the I/O MMU on some AMD boxes.

(1) an inode beeing private could have much more uses even outside LSM
(2) it's an awfull lot of code where having a flag is really little code
(3) there 's lots of room in the inode flags
I can't find anything that speaks for the messy current implementation

I wasn't aware that this is what I meant. I dunno what graphics drivers
Andi needs it for, and he is away for a couple of weeks. It's an
experimental patch, in there for testing.

I don't know why you're assuming that it is "such a hook". Sticking
"gfp_dma32" into google indicates that the applications are quite
different.

I'd agree with this assessment. The original purpose of the private flag
was reiserfs-internal to avoid locking issues with xattrs-on-xattrs.
SELinux just happened to try to use xattrs-on-xattrs from outside the
filesystem. Without being too familiar with selinux, I used the patch
because it "just worked."
Such a VFS-level flag could provide the same functionality while
allowing me to remove the private flag from reiserfs.

It looks like there's a slipup in bk-cifs.patch. If you enable
CONFIG_CIFS_POSIX it'll probably link OK.

Looks like the nvidia wrapper will need updating if/when we merge Andi's
4-level pagetable implementation.

remap_page_range() doesn't exist in -mm. It does (and shall continue to)
exist in Linus's tree. Reverting
for-mm-only-remove-remap_page_range-completely.patch will fix this one up.

Andi,
I think you made a small mistake in this patch. There should be no
need to modify ZONES_SHIFT or MAX_ZONES_SHIFT for the change you wish to
make, since 4 zones (0..3) still fit into 2 bits.
Also, while building a kernel, I hit an error due to this patch:
arch/i386/kernel/srat.c:line #142.
The function looks ok to my untrained eyes, but I'm not sure. I'm
building a test kernel with the attached patch applied and I'll let you
know if it barfs.
