[PATCH 1/2] powerpc: Remove ibm,smt-snooze-delay OF property

2010-05-16 Thread Anton Blanchard
I'm not sure why we have code for parsing an ibm,smt-snooze-delay OF property. Since we have a smt-snooze-delay= boot option and we can also set it at runtime via sysfs, it should be safe to get rid of this code. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard --- Index: powerpc.git/arch/powerpc/kernel/sysfs.c

[PATCH 2/2] powerpc: Use smt_snooze_delay=-1 to always busy loop

2010-05-16 Thread Anton Blanchard
Right now if we want to busy loop and not give up any time to the hypervisor we put a very large value into smt_snooze_delay. This is sometimes useful when running a single partition and you want to avoid any latencies due to the hypervisor or CPU power state transitions. While this works, it's a

[PATCH 2/3] powerpc: numa: Use ibm,architecture-vec-5 to detect form 1 affinity

2010-05-16 Thread Anton Blanchard
I've been told that the architected way to determine we are in form 1 affinity mode is by reading the ibm,architecture-vec-5 property which mirrors the layout of the fifth byte of the ibm,client-architecture structure. Eventually we may want to parse the ibm,architecture-vec-5 and create FW_FEATU

[PATCH 3/3] powerpc: numa: Use form 1 affinity to setup node distance

2010-05-16 Thread Anton Blanchard
Form 1 affinity allows multiple entries in ibm,associativity-reference-points which represent affinity domains in decreasing order of importance. The Linux concept of a node is always the first entry, but using the other values as an input to node_distance() allows the memory allocator to make bet

[PATCH 1/3] powerpc: numa: Set a smaller value for RECLAIM_DISTANCE to enable zone reclaim

2010-05-16 Thread Anton Blanchard
I noticed /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode was 0 on a ppc64 NUMA box. It gets enabled via this: /* * If another node is sufficiently far away then it is better * to reclaim pages in a zone before going off node. */ if (distance > RECLAIM_DISTANCE)
