684265d4a3 mm/dmapool.c: use TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE in dma_pool_alloc()
As it stands this code will degenerate into a busy-wait if the calling task
has signal_pending().

84bc227d7f mm/dmapool.c: take lock only once in dma_pool_free()
dma_pool_free() scans for the page to free in the pool list holding the
pool lock.  Then it releases the lock basically to acquire it immediately
again.  Modify the code to only take the lock once.

This will do some additional loops and computations with the lock held in
if memory debugging is activated.  If it is not activated the only new
operations with this lock is one if and one substraction.

ea05c8444e mm: add a might_sleep_if() to dma_pool_alloc()
Buggy drivers (e.g.  fsl_udc) could call dma_pool_alloc from atomic
context with GFP_KERNEL.  In most instances, the first pool_alloc_page
call would succeed and the sleeping functions would never be called.  This
allowed the buggy drivers to slip through the cracks.

Add a might_sleep_if() checking for __GFP_WAIT in flags.

c49568235d dmapools: protect page_list walk in show_pools()
show_pools() walks the page_list of a pool w/o protection against the list
modifications in alloc/free.  Take pool->lock to avoid stomping into
nirvana.

b5ee5befa7 dmapool: enable debugging for CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON too
Previously it was only enabled for CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB.

Not hooked into the slub runtime debug configuration, so you currently only
get it with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON, not plain CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG

e34f44b351 pool: Improve memory usage for devices which can't cross boundaries
The previous implementation simply refused to allocate more than a
boundary's worth of data from an entire page.  Some users didn't know
this, so specified things like SMP_CACHE_BYTES, not realising the
horrible waste of memory that this was.  It's fairly easy to correct
this problem, just by ensuring we don't cross a boundary within a page.
This even helps drivers like EHCI (which can't cross a 4k boundary)
on machines with larger page sizes.

a35a345514 Change dmapool free block management
Use a list of free blocks within a page instead of using a bitmap.
Update documentation to reflect this.  As well as being a slight
reduction in memory allocation, locked ops and lines of code, it speeds
up a transaction processing benchmark by 0.4%.

6182a0943a dmapool: Tidy up includes and add comments
We were missing a copyright statement and license, so add GPLv2, David
Brownell's copyright and my copyright.

The asm/io.h include was superfluous, but we were missing a few other
necessary includes.

399154be2d dmapool: Validate parameters to dma_pool_create
Check that 'align' is a power of two, like the API specifies.
Align 'size' to 'align' correctly -- the current code has an off-by-one.
The ALIGN macro in kernel.h doesn't.

2cae367e48 Avoid taking waitqueue lock in dmapool
With one trivial change (taking the lock slightly earlier on wakeup
from schedule), all uses of the waitq are under the pool lock, so we
can use the locked (or __) versions of the wait queue functions, and
avoid the extra spinlock.
