The problem stems from a misguided attempt to provide a work-around for jiffies-counter failure. This work-around uses a per-CPU n_rcu_pending counter, which is incremented on each call to rcu_pending(), which in turn is called from each scheduling-clock interrupt. Each CPU then treats this counter as a surrogate for the jiffies counter, so that if the jiffies counter fails to advance, the per-CPU n_rcu_pending counter will cause RCU to invoke force_quiescent_state(), which in turn will (among other things) send resched IPIs to CPUs that have thus far failed to pass through an RCU quiescent state. Unfortunately, each CPU resets only its own counter after sending a batch of IPIs. This means that the other CPUs will also (needlessly) send -another- round of IPIs, for a full N-squared set of IPIs in the worst case every three scheduler-clock ticks until the grace period finally ends. It is not reasonable for a given CPU to reset each and every n_rcu_pending for all the other CPUs, so this patch instead simply disables the jiffies-counter "training wheels", thus eliminating the excessive IPIs. Note that the jiffies-counter IPIs do not have this problem due to the fact that the jiffies counter is global, so that the CPU sending the IPIs can easily reset things, thus preventing the other CPUs from sending redundant IPIs. Note also that the n_rcu_pending counter remains, as it will continue to be used for tracing. It may also see use to update the jiffies counter, should an appropriate kick-the-jiffies-counter API appear.

The "Broadcast Assist Unit" is used for TLB shootdown in UV. The memory mapped registers that point to sending and receiving memory structures contain node numbers. In one case the __pa() function did not provide the node id of memory on blade zero in configurations where that id is nonzero. In another case, it was assumed that memory was allocated on the local node. That assumption is not true in a configuration in which the node has no memory. Tested on the UV hardware simulator.

The distribution bitmap had been constructed assuming 0 as the base node number. That construct would not have allowed a total system of greater than 256 nodes. It also corrects an error that occurred when the first blade's nasid was not zero. That nasid was stored as the base node. The base node number gets added by hardware to the node numbers implied in the distribution bitmap, resulting in invalid target nasids. Tested on the UV hardware simulator.

Yes, a UMH_NO_WAIT or UMH_WAIT_PROC call_usermodehelper() spawns an mm-less kernel thread to do the exec. And in any case, that vm_enough_memory check when growing stack ought to be done on the target mm, not on the execer's mm (though apart from the warning, it only makes a slight tweak to OVERCOMMIT_NEVER behaviour).

Tetsuo Handa, running a kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y and CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH=/sbin/hotplug, has been hitting RCU detected CPU stalls: it's been spinning in the loop where do_execve() counts up the args (but why wasn't fixup_exception working? dunno). The recent change, switching kobject_uevent_env() from UMH_WAIT_EXEC to UMH_NO_WAIT, is broken: the exec uses args on the local stack here, and an env which is kfreed as soon as call_usermodehelper() returns. It very much needs to wait for the exec to be done. An alternative would be to keep the UMH_NO_WAIT, and complicate the code to allocate and free these resources correctly? but no, as GregKH pointed out when making the commit, CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH="" is a much better optimization - though some distros are still saying /sbin/hotplug in their .config, yet with no such binary in their initrd or their root.

This adds a new call named block_write_full_page_endio so the buffer head end_io handler can be provided by the caller. This will be used by the ext3 data=guarded mode to do i_size updates in a workqueue based end_io handler. end_buffer_async_write is also exported so it can be called to do the dirty work of managing page writeback for the higher level end_io handler.
