The number of pages is a dimm property. Move it to the dimm struct.
After this change, it is possible to add sysfs nodes for the DIMM's that
will properly represent the DIMM stick properties, including its size.
A TODO fix here is to properly represent dual-rank/quad-rank DIMMs when
the memory controller represents the memory via chip select rows.

On systems based on chip select rows, all channels need to use memories
with the same properties, otherwise the memories on channels A and B
won't be recognized.
However, such assumption is not true for all types of memory
controllers.
Controllers for FB-DIMM's don't have such requirements.
Also, modern Intel controllers seem to be capable of handling such
differences.
So, we need to get rid of storing the DIMM information into a per-csrow
data, storing it, instead at the right place.
The first step is to move grain, mtype, dtype and edac_mode to the
per-dimm struct.

The way a DIMM is currently represented implies that they're
linked into a per-csrow struct. However, some drivers don't see
csrows, as they're ridden behind some chip like the AMB's
on FBDIMM's, for example.
This forced drivers to fake^Wvirtualize a csrow struct, and to create
a mess under csrow/channel original's concept.
Move the DIMM labels into a per-DIMM struct, and add there
the real location of the socket, in terms of csrow/channel.
Latter patches will modify the location to properly represent the
memory architecture.
All other drivers will use a per-csrow type of location.
Some of those drivers will require a latter conversion, as
they also fake the csrows internally.
TODO: While this patch doesn't change the existing behavior, on
csrows-based memory controllers, a csrow/channel pair points to a memory
rank. There's a known bug at the EDAC core that allows having different
labels for the same DIMM, if it has more than one rank. A latter patch
is need to merge the several ranks for a DIMM into the same dimm_info
struct, in order to avoid having different labels for the same DIMM.
The edac_mc_alloc() will now contain a per-dimm initialization loop that
will be changed by latter patches in order to match other types of
memory architectures.

What it is pointed by a csrow/channel vector is a rank information, and
not a channel information.
On a traditional architecture, the memory controller directly access the
memory ranks, via chip select rows. Different ranks at the same DIMM is
selected via different chip select rows. So, typically, one
csrow/channel pair means one different DIMM.
On FB-DIMMs, there's a microcontroller chip at the DIMM, called Advanced
Memory Buffer (AMB) that serves as the interface between the memory
controller and the memory chips.
The AMB selection is via the DIMM slot, and not via a csrow.
It is up to the AMB to talk with the csrows of the DRAM chips.
So, the FB-DIMM memory controllers see the DIMM slot, and not the DIMM
rank. RAMBUS is similar.
Newer memory controllers, like the ones found on Intel Sandy Bridge and
Nehalem, even working with normal DDR3 DIMM's, don't use the usual
channel A/channel B interleaving schema to provide 128 bits data access.
Instead, they have more channels (3 or 4 channels), and they can use
several interleaving schemas. Such memory controllers see the DIMMs
directly on their registers, instead of the ranks, which is better for
the driver, as its main usageis to point to a broken DIMM stick (the
Field Repleceable Unit), and not to point to a broken DRAM chip.
The drivers that support such such newer memory architecture models
currently need to fake information and to abuse on EDAC structures, as
the subsystem was conceived with the idea that the csrow would always be
visible by the CPU.
To make things a little worse, those drivers don't currently fake
csrows/channels on a consistent way, as the concepts there don't apply
to the memory controllers they're talking with. So, each driver author
interpreted the concepts using a different logic.
In order to fix it, let's rename the data structure that points into a
DIMM rank to "rank_info", in order to be clearer about what's stored
there.
Latter patches will provide a better way to represent the memory
hierarchy for the other types of memory controller.

00740c5854 changed edac_core to
un-/register a workqueue item only if a lowlevel driver supplies a

go and cancel all the queued work. However, the workqueue unreg happens
based on the ->op_state setting, and edac_mc_del_mc() sets this to
OP_OFFLINE _before_ we cancel the work item, leading to NULL ptr oops on
the workqueue list.
Fix it by putting the unreg stuff in proper order.

This is a nasty bug. Since kobject count will be reduced by zero by
edac_mc_del_mc(), and this triggers the kobj release method, the
mci memory will be freed automatically. So, all we have left is ctl_name,
as shown by enabling debug:

Also, kfree(mci) shouldn't happen at the kobj.release, as it happens
when edac_remove_sysfs_mci_device() is called, but the logic is:
edac_remove_sysfs_mci_device(mci);
edac_printk(KERN_INFO, EDAC_MC,
"Removed device %d for %s %s: DEV %s\n", mci->mc_idx,
mci->mod_name, mci->ctl_name, edac_dev_name(mci));
So, as the edac_printk() needs the mci struct, this generates an OOPS.

This patch refactors the 'releasing' of kobjects for the edac_mc type of

As internal kobjs are allocated they bump a ref count on the top level kobj.
It in turn has a module ref count on the edac_core module. When internal
kobjects are released, they dec the ref count on the top level kobj. When the
top level kobj reaches zero, it decrements the ref count on the edac_core
object, allow it to be unloaded, as all resources have all now been released.

As a peer of the 'edac_mc' class of object, it provides a non-memory centric

Multiple 'instances' within the class are possible, with each 'instance'
able to have multiple 'blocks', and each 'block' having 'attributes'.
At the 'block' level there are the 'ce_count' and 'ue_count' fields
which the device driver can update and/or call edac_device_handle_XX()
functions. At each higher level are additional 'total' count fields,
which are a summation of counts below that level.

Now, there are the following files:

edac_mc.c Code handling the edac_mc class of object
edac_mc_sysfs.c Code handling for sysfs presentation
edac_pci_sysfs.c Code handling for PCI sysfs presentation
edac_core.h CORE .h include file for 'edac_mc' and 'edac_device' drivers

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.
It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.
The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

Eric Wollesen ported the Bluesmoke Memory Controller driver for the Intel
5000X/V/P (Blackford/Greencreek) chipset to the in kernel EDAC model.
This patch incorporates those required changes to the edac_mc.c and edac_mc.h
core files by added new Fully Buffered DIMM interface to the EDAC Core module.

This is an attempt of providing an interface for memory scrubbing control in
EDAC.
This patch modifies the EDAC Core to provide the Interface for memory
controller modules to implment.
The following things are still outstanding:
- K8 is the first implemenation,
The patch provide a method of configuring the K8 hardware memory scrubber
via the 'mcX' sysfs directory. There should be some fallback to a generic
scrubber implemented in software if the hardware does not support
scrubbing.
Or .. the scrubbing sysfs entry should not be visible at all.
- Only works with SDRAM, not cache,
The K8 can scrub cache and l2cache also - but I think this is not so
useful as the cache is busy all the time (one hopes).
One would also expect that cache scrubbing requires hardware support.
- Error Handling,
I would like that errors are returned to the user in "terms of file
system".
- Presentation,
I chose Bandwidth in Bytes/Second as a representation of the scrubbing
rate for the following reasons:
I like that the sysfs entries are sort-of textual, related to something
that makes sense instead of magical values that must be looked up.
"My People" wants "% main memory scrubbed per hour" others prefer "%
memory bandwidth used" as representation, "bandwith used" makes it easy to
calculate both versions in one-liner scripts.
If one later wants to scrub cache, the scaling becomes wierd for K8
changing from "blocks of 64 byte memory" to "blocks of 64 cache lines" to
"blocks of 64 bit". Using "bandwidth used" makes sense in all three cases,
(I.M.O. anyway ;-).
- Discovery,
There is no way to discover the possible settings and what they do
without reading the code and the documentation.
*I* do not know how to make that work in a practical way.
- Bugs(??),
other tools can set invalid values in the memory scrub control register,
those will read back as '-1', requiring the user to reset the scrub rate.
This is how *I* think it should be.
- Afflicting other areas of code,
I made changes to edac_mc.c and edac_mc.h which will show up globally -
this is not nice, it would be better that the memory scrubbing fuctionality
and interface could be entirely contained within the memory controller it
applies to.

edac_mc.c and its .h file is a CORE helper module for EDAC
driver modules. This provides the abstraction for device specific
drivers. It is fine to modify this CORE to provide help for
new features of the the drivers

Move process freezing functions from include/linux/sched.h to freezer.h, so
that modifications to the freezer or the kernel configuration don't require
recompiling just about everything.

When EDAC was first introduced into the kernel it had a sysfs interface,
but due to some problems it was disabled in 2.6.16 and remained disabled in
2.6.17.
With feedback, several of the control and attribute files of that interface
had some good constructive feedback. PCI Blacklist/Whitelist was a major
set which has design issues and it has been removed in this patch. Instead
of storing PCI broken parity status in EDAC, it has been moved to the
pci_dev structure itself by a previous PCI patch. A future patch will
enable that feature in EDAC by utilizing the pci_dev info.
The sysfs is now enabled in this patch, with a minimal set of control and
attribute files for examining EDAC state and for enabling/disabling the
memory and PCI operations.
The Documentation for EDAC has also been updated to reflect the new state
of EDAC operation.

Remove add_mc_to_global_list(). In next patch, this function will be
reimplemented with different semantics.
1 Reimplement add_mc_to_global_list() with semantics that allow the caller to
determine the ID number for a mem_ctl_info structure. Then modify
edac_mc_add_mc() so that the caller specifies the ID number for the new
mem_ctl_info structure. Platform-specific code should be able to assign the
ID numbers in a platform-specific manner. For instance, on Opteron it makes
sense to have the ID of the mem_ctl_info structure match the ID of the node
that the memory controller belongs to.
2 Modify callers of edac_mc_add_mc() so they use the new semantics.
