* serial: only use PNP IRQ if it's validBjorn Helgaas2007-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "Luming Yu" <luming.yu@gmail.com> says: There is a "ttyS1 irq is -1" problem observed on tiger4 which cause the serial port broken. It is because that there is __no__ ACPI IRQ resource assigned for the serial port. So the value of the IRQ for the port is never changed since it got initialized to -1. If PNP supplies a valid IRQ, use it. Otherwise, leave port.irq == 0, which means "no IRQ" to the serial core.

* rtc: fall back to requesting only the ports we actually useBjorn Helgaas2007-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Firmware like PNPBIOS or ACPI can report the address space consumed by the RTC. The actual space consumed may be less than the size (RTC_IO_EXTENT) assumed by the RTC driver. The PNP core doesn't request resources yet, but I'd like to make it do so. If/when it does, the RTC_IO_EXTENT request may fail, which prevents the RTC driver from loading. Since we only use the RTC index and data registers at RTC_PORT(0) and RTC_PORT(1), we can fall back to requesting just enough space for those. If the PNP core requests resources, this results in typical I/O port usage like this: 0070-0073 : 00:06 <-- PNP device 00:06 responds to 70-73 0070-0071 : rtc <-- RTC driver uses only 70-71 instead of the current: 0070-0077 : rtc <-- RTC_IO_EXTENT == 8 Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Cc: Alessandro Zummo <a.zummo@towertech.it> Cc: David Brownell <david-b@pacbell.net> Cc: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* Fixes to the BFS filesystem driverDmitri Vorobiev2007-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I found a few bugs in the BFS driver. Detailed description of the bugs as well as the steps to reproduce the errors are given in the kernel bugzilla. Please follow these links for more information: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9363 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9364 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9365 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9366 This patch fixes the bugs described above. Besides, the patch introduces coding style changes to make the BFS driver conform to the requirements specified for Linux kernel code. Finally, I made a few cosmetic changes such as removal of trivial debug output. Also, the patch removes the fields `si_lf_ioff' and `si_lf_sblk' of the in-core superblock structure. These fields are initialized but never actually used. If you are wondering why I need BFS, here is the answer: I am using this driver in the context of Linux kernel classes I am teaching in the Moscow State University and in the International Institute of Information Technology in Pune, India.

* revert "Task Control Groups: example CPU accounting subsystem"Andrew Morton2007-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Revert 62d0df64065e7c135d0002f069444fbdfc64768f. This was originally intended as a simple initial example of how to create a control groups subsystem; it wasn't intended for mainline, but I didn't make this clear enough to Andrew. The CFS cgroup subsystem now has better functionality for the per-cgroup usage accounting (based directly on CFS stats) than the "usage" status file in this patch, and the "load" status file is rather simplistic - although having a per-cgroup load average report would be a useful feature, I don't believe this patch actually provides it. If it gets into the final 2.6.24 we'd probably have to support this interface for ever.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a MAP_SHARED mmap of a hugetlbfs file succeeds, huge pages are reserved to guarantee no problems will occur later when instantiating pages.

To prevent these scenarios, debit the quota for the full reservation amount up front and credit the unused quota when the reservation is released.

* hugetlb: debit quota in alloc_huge_pageAdam Litke2007-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that quota is credited by free_huge_page(), calls to hugetlb_get_quota() seem out of place. The alloc/free API is unbalanced because we handle the hugetlb_put_quota() but expect the caller to open-code hugetlb_get_quota(). Move the get inside alloc_huge_page to clean up this disparity. This patch has been kept apart from the previous patch because of the somewhat dodgy ERR_PTR() use herein. Moving the quota logic means that alloc_huge_page() has two failure modes. Quota failure must result in a SIGBUS while a standard allocation failure is OOM. Unfortunately, ERR_PTR() doesn't like the small positive errnos we have in VM_FAULT_* so they must be negated before they are used. Does anyone take issue with the way I am using PTR_ERR. If so, what are your thoughts on how to clean this up (without needing an if,else if,else block at each alloc_huge_page() callsite)?

* hugetlb: fix quota management for private mappingsAdam Litke2007-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The hugetlbfs quota management system was never taught to handle MAP_PRIVATE mappings when that support was added. Currently, quota is debited at page instantiation and credited at file truncation. This approach works correctly for shared pages but is incomplete for private pages. In addition to hugetlb_no_page(), private pages can be instantiated by hugetlb_cow(); but this function does not respect quotas. Private huge pages are treated very much like normal, anonymous pages. They are not "backed" by the hugetlbfs file and are not stored in the mapping's radix tree. This means that private pages are invisible to truncate_hugepages() so that function will not credit the quota. This patch (based on a prototype provided by Ken Chen) moves quota crediting for all pages into free_huge_page(). page->private is used to store a pointer to the mapping to which this page belongs. This is used to credit quota on the appropriate hugetlbfs instance.

* hugetlb: split alloc_huge_page into private and shared componentsAdam Litke2007-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hugetlbfs implements a quota system which can limit the amount of memory that can be used by the filesystem. Before allocating a new huge page for a file, the quota is checked and debited. The quota is then credited when truncating the file. I found a few bugs in the code for both MAP_PRIVATE and MAP_SHARED mappings. Before detailing the problems and my proposed solutions, we should agree on a definition of quotas that properly addresses both private and shared pages. Since the purpose of quotas is to limit total memory consumption on a per-filesystem basis, I argue that all pages allocated by the fs (private and shared) should be charged against quota. Private Mappings ================ The current code will debit quota for private pages sometimes, but will never credit it. At a minimum, this causes a leak in the quota accounting which renders the accounting essentially useless as it is. Shared pages have a one to one mapping with a hugetlbfs file and are easy to account by debiting on allocation and crediting on truncate. Private pages are anonymous in nature and have a many to one relationship with their hugetlbfs files (due to copy on write). Because private pages are not indexed by the mapping's radix tree, thier quota cannot be credited at file truncation time. Crediting must be done when the page is unmapped and freed. Shared Pages ============ I discovered an issue concerning the interaction between the MAP_SHARED reservation system and quotas. Since quota is not checked until page instantiation, an over-quota mmap/reservation will initially succeed. When instantiating the first over-quota page, the program will receive SIGBUS. This is inconsistent since the reservation is supposed to be a guarantee. The solution is to debit the full amount of quota at reservation time and credit the unused portion when the reservation is released. This patch series brings quotas back in line by making the following modifications: * Private pages - Debit quota in alloc_huge_page() - Credit quota in free_huge_page() * Shared pages - Debit quota for entire reservation at mmap time - Credit quota for instantiated pages in free_huge_page() - Credit quota for unused reservation at munmap time This patch: The shared page reservation and dynamic pool resizing features have made the allocation of private vs. shared huge pages quite different. By splitting out the private/shared-specific portions of the process into their own functions, readability is greatly improved. alloc_huge_page now calls the proper helper and performs common operations.

* hugetlb: follow_hugetlb_page() for write accessAdam Litke2007-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When calling get_user_pages(), a write flag is passed in by the caller to indicate if write access is required on the faulted-in pages. Currently, follow_hugetlb_page() ignores this flag and always faults pages for read-only access. This can cause data corruption because a device driver that calls get_user_pages() with write set will not expect COW faults to occur on the returned pages. This patch passes the write flag down to follow_hugetlb_page() and makes sure hugetlb_fault() is called with the right write_access parameter.

* dmaengine: fix broken device refcountingHaavard Skinnemoen2007-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a DMA device is unregistered, its reference count is decremented twice for each channel: Once dma_class_dev_release() and once in dma_chan_cleanup(). This may result in the DMA device driver's remove() function completing before all channels have been cleaned up, causing lots of use-after-free fun.

* paride: pf driver fixesOndrej Zary2007-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The pf driver for parallel port floppy drives seems to be broken. At least with Imation SuperDisk with EPAT chip, the driver calls pi_connect() and pi_disconnect after each transferred sector. At least with EPAT, this operation is very expensive - causes drive recalibration. Thus, transferring even a single byte (dd if=/dev/pf0 of=/dev/null bs=1 count=1) takes 20 seconds, making the driver useless. The pf_next_buf() function seems to be broken as it returns 1 always (except when pf_run is non-zero), causing the loop in do_pf_read_drq (and do_pf_write_drq) to be executed only once. The following patch fixes this problem. It also fixes swapped descriptions in pf_lock() function and removes DBMSG macro, which seems useless.

* Migration: find correct vma in new_vma_page()Lee Schermerhorn2007-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We hit the BUG_ON() in mm/rmap.c:vma_address() when trying to migrate via mbind(MPOL_MF_MOVE) a non-anon region that spans multiple vmas. For anon-regions, we just fail to migrate any pages beyond the 1st vma in the range. This occurs because do_mbind() collects a list of pages to migrate by calling check_range(). check_range() walks the task's mm, spanning vmas as necessary, to collect the migratable pages into a list. Then, do_mbind() calls migrate_pages() passing the list of pages, a function to allocate new pages based on vma policy [new_vma_page()], and a pointer to the first vma of the range. For each page in the list, new_vma_page() calls page_address_in_vma() passing the page and the vma [first in range] to obtain the address to get for alloc_page_vma(). The page address is needed to get interleaving policy correct. If the pages in the list come from multiple vmas, eventually, new_page_address() will pass that page to page_address_in_vma() with the incorrect vma. For !PageAnon pages, this will result in a bug check in rmap.c:vma_address(). For anon pages, vma_address() will just return EFAULT and fail the migration. This patch modifies new_vma_page() to check the return value from page_address_in_vma(). If the return value is EFAULT, new_vma_page() searchs forward via vm_next for the vma that maps the page--i.e., that does not return EFAULT. This assumes that the pages in the list handed to migrate_pages() is in address order. This is currently case. The patch documents this assumption in a new comment block for new_vma_page(). If new_vma_page() cannot locate the vma mapping the page in a forward search in the mm, it will pass a NULL vma to alloc_page_vma(). This will result in the allocation using the task policy, if any, else system default policy. This situation is unlikely, but the patch documents this behavior with a comment. Note, this patch results in restarting from the first vma in a multi-vma range each time new_vma_page() is called. If this is not acceptable, we can make the vma argument a pointer, both in new_vma_page() and it's caller unmap_and_move() so that the value held by the loop in migrate_pages() always passes down the last vma in which a page was found. This will require changes to all new_page_t functions passed to migrate_pages(). Is this necessary? For this patch to work, we can't bug check in vma_address() for pages outside the argument vma. This patch removes the BUG_ON(). All other callers [besides new_vma_page()] already check the return status. Tested on x86_64, 4 node NUMA platform.

This manifested itself as ldconfig on x86_64 complaining about the first library it looked at not being a valid ELF file. A config file is mapped at 0x4000000, as the only thing mapped under its pud, and unmapped. The unmapping caused a pud_clear, which, due to this bug, didn't actually unmap the config file data on the host. The first library is then mapped at the same location, but is not actually mapped on the host because accesses to it cause no page faults. As a result, ldconfig sees the old config file data.
