Subject: [GIT PULL] Please pull hwpoison updates for 2.6.33
Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2009 13:12:47 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091214121247.GA10160@basil.fritz.box> (raw)
Hi Linus
Please pull the hwpoison updates for 2.6.33 from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ak/linux-mce-2.6.git hwpoison
This touches some code outside hwpoison, like the page flags
reporting code and some fixes for memcg to implement the memcg hwpoison
filter. All these changes are straight-forward, and have been reviewed.
Major new features:
- "soft offline" Offline a page without killing a process.
This allows to implement predictive failure analysis for memory, by
watching error trends per page and offlining a page that has too many
corrected errors. The policy is all in user space; the kernel just
offlines the page and reports the errors.
The current git mcelog has support for using this interface.
- Be more aggressive at flushing caches to get access to a page
- Various fixes for the core memory_failure path
- Handle free memory better by detecting higher-order buddy pages
reliably too.
- Provide a new sysfs interface for both hard and soft offlining.
The existing debugfs interface is still there.
- unpoison support
Unpoison a page. This is mainly for testing to let the stress tester
run longer.
- hwpoison filter
Various filters to the hwpoison PFN error injection, including
memcg, page type, block device and others.
This is used by the mce-test stress suite to protect the test suite itself
Testing:
There are test cases for soft offlining in mce-test.
