2010-12-08staging/zram: Fix sparse warning 'Using plain integer as NULL pointer'Peter Huewe
This patch fixes the warning generated by sparse: "Using plain integer as NULL pointer" by replacing the offending 0s with NULL. Signed-off-by: Peter Huewe <peterhuewe@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2010-12-07Staging: Merge 2.6.37-rc5 into staging-nextGreg Kroah-Hartman
This was done to handle a number of conflicts in the batman-adv and winbond drivers properly. It also now allows us to fix up the sysfs attributes properly that were not in the .37 release due to them being only in this tree at the time. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2010-10-05Staging: zram: work around oops due to startup ordering snafuAnton Blanchard
I'm getting an oops when running mkfs on zram: NIP [d0000000030e0340] .zram_inc_stat+0x58/0x84 [zram] [c00000006d58f720] [d0000000030e091c] .zram_make_request+0xa8/0x6a0 [zram] [c00000006d58f840] [c00000000035795c] .generic_make_request+0x390/0x434 [c00000006d58f950] [c000000000357b14] .submit_bio+0x114/0x140 [c00000006d58fa20] [c000000000361778] .blkdev_issue_discard+0x1ac/0x250 [c00000006d58fb10] [c000000000361f68] .blkdev_ioctl+0x358/0x7fc [c00000006d58fbd0] [c0000000001c1c1c] .block_ioctl+0x6c/0x90 [c00000006d58fc70] [c0000000001984c4] .do_vfs_ioctl+0x660/0x6d4 [c00000006d58fd70] [c0000000001985a0] .SyS_ioctl+0x68/0xb0 Since disksize no longer starts as 0 it looks like we can call zram_make_request before the device has been initialised. The patch below fixes the immediate problem but this would go away if we move the initialisation function elsewhere (as suggested in another thread).

2010-08-31Staging: zram: Remove need for explicit device initializationNitin Gupta
Currently, the user has to explicitly write a positive value to initstate sysfs node before the device can be used. This event triggers allocation of per-device metadata like memory pool, table array and so on. We do not pre-initialize all zram devices since the 'table' array, mapping disk blocks to compressed chunks, takes considerable amount of memory (8 bytes per page). So, pre-initializing all devices will be quite wasteful if only few or none of the devices are actually used. This explicit device initialization from user is an odd requirement and can be easily avoided. We now initialize the device when first write is done to the device.

2010-08-31Staging: zram: Replace ioctls with sysfs interfaceNitin Gupta
Creates per-device sysfs nodes in /sys/block/zram<id>/ Currently following stats are exported: - disksize - num_reads - num_writes - invalid_io - zero_pages - orig_data_size - compr_data_size - mem_used_total By default, disksize is set to 0. So, to start using a zram device, fist write a disksize value and then initialize device by writing any positive value to initstate. For example: # initialize /dev/zram0 with 50MB disksize echo 50*1024*1024 | bc > /sys/block/zram0/disksize echo 1 > /sys/block/zram0/initstate When done using a disk, issue reset to free its memory by writing any positive value to reset node: echo 1 > /sys/block/zram0/reset This change also obviates the need for 'rzscontrol' utility.
