dmapool
Subsystems (2)
I have a series of patches to dmapool that I'd like opinions on. I don't have any performance numbers yet, but some of the patches are a good idea, with or without performance numbers.
One of the problems with dmapool is that it doesn't have a maintainer listed. I've spent enough time looking at it over the past couple of weeks that I think I'd be comfortable in that role, so unless someone objects, I'll submit a patch to MAINTAINERS to add myself.
I shan't post the first two patches. The first simply Lindents the code and the second moves it to mm/ (a better fit than drivers/base, IMO).
Four patches to follow.

Intel are signing my paycheques ... these opinions are still mine "Bill, look, we understand that you're interested in selling us this operating system, but compare it to ours. We can't possibly take such a retrograde step."
PATCH 1/4 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.

PATCH 2/4 dmapool: Validate parameters to dma_pool_create

You mean braces, not brackets. And I find this little fetish of yours highly disturbing. I prefer to use braces, and will continue to do so, regardless of your nitpicking.
Well as you say it, you like the braces, so it appears to be your fetish. Of course you don't have to make any changes, I am just reporting them cause they aren't needed. No need for the offensive tone either.

The fact that you have all these other changes mixed in makes the main change very difficult to review. Also I assume the main change is "Change dmapool free block management" -- but I'm left wondering exactly how and why you're changing it.

Correct or not, you need to describe how you are changing the free block management, why that transformation is valid and worthwhile, etc.
I can see that you're getting rid of a bitmap and replacing it with the dma_page->in_use et al. stuff, but you need to describe that in detail.
PATCH 4/4 dmapool: Improve memory usage for devices which can't cross boundaries
In reply to Matthew WilcoxThe 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.
