* mm: move use_mm/unuse_mm from aio.c to mm/Michael S. Tsirkin2009-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | Anyone who wants to do copy to/from user from a kernel thread, needs use_mm (like what fs/aio has). Move that into mm/, to make reusing and exporting easier down the line, and make aio use it. Next intended user, besides aio, will be vhost-net.

* hugetlbfs: allow the creation of files suitable for MAP_PRIVATE on the vfs ↵Eric B Munson2009-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | internal mount This patchset adds a flag to mmap that allows the user to request that an anonymous mapping be backed with huge pages. This mapping will borrow functionality from the huge page shm code to create a file on the kernel internal mount and use it to approximate an anonymous mapping. The MAP_HUGETLB flag is a modifier to MAP_ANONYMOUS and will not work without both flags being preset. A new flag is necessary because there is no other way to hook into huge pages without creating a file on a hugetlbfs mount which wouldn't be MAP_ANONYMOUS. To userspace, this mapping will behave just like an anonymous mapping because the file is not accessible outside of the kernel. This patchset is meant to simplify the programming model. Presently there is a large chunk of boiler platecode, contained in libhugetlbfs, required to create private, hugepage backed mappings. This patch set would allow use of hugepages without linking to libhugetlbfs or having hugetblfs mounted. Unification of the VM code would provide these same benefits, but it has been resisted each time that it has been suggested for several reasons: it would break PAGE_SIZE assumptions across the kernel, it makes page-table abstractions really expensive, and it does not provide any benefit on architectures that do not support huge pages, incurring fast path penalties without providing any benefit on these architectures. This patch: There are two means of creating mappings backed by huge pages: 1. mmap() a file created on hugetlbfs 2. Use shm which creates a file on an internal mount which essentially maps it MAP_SHARED The internal mount is only used for shared mappings but there is very little that stops it being used for private mappings. This patch extends hugetlbfs_file_setup() to deal with the creation of files that will be mapped MAP_PRIVATE on the internal hugetlbfs mount. This extended API is used in a subsequent patch to implement the MAP_HUGETLB mmap() flag.

* tmpfs: depend on shmemHugh Dickins2009-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CONFIG_SHMEM off gives you (ramfs masquerading as) tmpfs, even when CONFIG_TMPFS is off: that's a little anomalous, and I'd intended to make more sense of it by removing CONFIG_TMPFS altogether, always enabling its code when CONFIG_SHMEM; but so many defconfigs have CONFIG_SHMEM on CONFIG_TMPFS off that we'd better leave that as is. But there is no point in asking for CONFIG_TMPFS if CONFIG_SHMEM is off: make TMPFS depend on SHMEM, which also prevents TMPFS_POSIX_ACL shmem_acl.o being pointlessly built into the kernel when SHMEM is off. And a selfish change, to prevent the world from being rebuilt when I switch between CONFIG_SHMEM on and off: the only CONFIG_SHMEM in the header files is mm.h shmem_lock() - give that a shmem.c stub instead.

* mm: add get_dump_pageHugh Dickins2009-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In preparation for the next patch, add a simple get_dump_page(addr) interface for the CONFIG_ELF_CORE dumpers to use, instead of calling get_user_pages() directly. They're not interested in errors: they just want to use holes as much as possible, to save space and make sure that the data is aligned where the headers said it would be. Oh, and don't use that horrid DUMP_SEEK(off) macro!

* oom: move oom_adj value from task_struct to signal_structKOSAKI Motohiro2009-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, OOM logic callflow is here. __out_of_memory() select_bad_process() for each task badness() calculate badness of one task oom_kill_process() search child oom_kill_task() kill target task and mm shared tasks with it example, process-A have two thread, thread-A and thread-B and it have very fat memory and each thread have following oom_adj and oom_score. thread-A: oom_adj = OOM_DISABLE, oom_score = 0 thread-B: oom_adj = 0, oom_score = very-high Then, select_bad_process() select thread-B, but oom_kill_task() refuse kill the task because thread-A have OOM_DISABLE. Thus __out_of_memory() call select_bad_process() again. but select_bad_process() select the same task. It mean kernel fall in livelock. The fact is, select_bad_process() must select killable task. otherwise OOM logic go into livelock. And root cause is, oom_adj shouldn't be per-thread value. it should be per-process value because OOM-killer kill a process, not thread. Thus This patch moves oomkilladj (now more appropriately named oom_adj) from struct task_struct to struct signal_struct. it naturally prevent select_bad_process() choose wrong task.

* mm: replace various uses of num_physpages by totalram_pagesJan Beulich2009-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sizing of memory allocations shouldn't depend on the number of physical pages found in a system, as that generally includes (perhaps a huge amount of) non-RAM pages. The amount of what actually is usable as storage should instead be used as a basis here. Some of the calculations (i.e. those not intending to use high memory) should likely even use (totalram_pages - totalhigh_pages).

* ksm: identify PageKsm pagesHugh Dickins2009-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | KSM will need to identify its kernel merged pages unambiguously, and /proc/kpageflags will probably like to do so too. Since KSM will only be substituting anonymous pages, statistics are best preserved by making a PageKsm page a special PageAnon page: one with no anon_vma. But KSM then needs its own page_add_ksm_rmap() - keep it in ksm.h near PageKsm; and do_wp_page() must COW them, unlike singly mapped PageAnons.

* mm: oom analysis: add shmem vmstatKOSAKI Motohiro2009-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recently we encountered OOM problems due to memory use of the GEM cache. Generally a large amuont of Shmem/Tmpfs pages tend to create a memory shortage problem. We often use the following calculation to determine the amount of shmem pages: shmem = NR_ACTIVE_ANON + NR_INACTIVE_ANON - NR_ANON_PAGES however the expression does not consider isolated and mlocked pages. This patch adds explicit accounting for pages used by shmem and tmpfs.

In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In an attempt to avoid doing an unneeded flush after opening a (previously non-existent) file with O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, the code only triggered the hueristic if ei->disksize was non-zero. Turns out that the VFS doesn't call ->truncate() if the file doesn't exist, and ei->disksize is always zero even if the file previously existed. So remove the test, since it isn't necessary and in fact disabled the hueristic. Thanks to Clemens Eisserer that he was seeing problems with files written using kwrite and eclipse after sudden crashes caused by a buggy Intel video driver.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | EXT4_EXT_MIGRATE is only intended to be used for an in-memory flag, and the hex value assigned to it collides with FS_DIRECTIO_FL (which is also stored in i_flags). There's no reason for the EXT4_EXT_MIGRATE bit to be stored in i_flags, so we switch it to use i_state instead.

| | * ext4: limit block allocations for indirect-block files to < 2^32Eric Sandeen2009-09-16

This patch limits such allocations to < 2^32, and adds BUG_ONs if we do get blocks larger than that. This should address RH Bug 519471, ext4 bitmap allocator must limit blocks to < 2^32 * ext4_find_goal() is modified to choose a goal < UINT_MAX, so that our starting point is in an acceptable range. * ext4_xattr_block_set() is modified such that the goal block is < UINT_MAX, as above. * ext4_mb_regular_allocator() is modified so that the group search does not continue into groups which are too high * ext4_mb_use_preallocated() has a check that we don't use preallocated space which is too far out * ext4_alloc_blocks() and ext4_xattr_block_set() add some BUG_ONs No attempt has been made to limit inode locations to < 2^32, so we may wind up with blocks far from their inodes. Doing this much already will lead to some odd ENOSPC issues when the "lower 32" gets full, and further restricting inodes could make that even weirder. For high inodes, choosing a goal of the original, % UINT_MAX, may be a bit odd, but then we're in an odd situation anyway, and I don't know of a better heuristic.

| | * ext4: Fix different block exchange issue in EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXTAkira Fujita2009-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If logical block offset of original file which is passed to EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT is different from donor file's, a calculation error occurs in ext4_calc_swap_extents(), therefore wrong block is exchanged between original file and donor file. As a result, we hit ext4_error() in check_block_validity(). To detect the logical offset difference in EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, add checks to mext_calc_swap_extents() and handle it as error, since data exchange must be done between the same blocks in EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT.

By using atomic_set, the value of the s_flex_groups array was set to the values of the last block group in the flex_bg.

| | * ext4: Fix async commit mode to be safe by using a barrierTheodore Ts'o2009-09-11

This patch fixes it so that we eliminate the barrier before the commit block (by not using ordered mode), and explicitly issuing an empty barrier bio after writing the commit block. Because of the journal checksum, it is safe to do this; if the journal blocks are not all written before a power failure, the checksum in the commit block will prevent the last transaction from being replayed. Using the fs_mark benchmark, using journal_async_commit shows a 50% improvement: FSUse% Count Size Files/sec App Overhead 8 1000 10240 30.5 28242 vs. FSUse% Count Size Files/sec App Overhead 8 1000 10240 45.8 28620 Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

If that parameter is nonzero _and_ we're not using a journal, ext4_do_update_inode() calls sync_dirty_buffer() instead of ext4_handle_dirty_metadata(). This problem was found in power-fail testing, checking the amount of loss of files and blocks after a power failure when using fsync() and when not using fsync(). It turned out that using fsync() was actually worse than not doing so, possibly because it increased the likelihood that the inodes would remain unflushed and would therefore be lost at the power failure.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When ext4 is using a journal, a metadata block which is deallocated must be passed into the journal layer so it can be dropped from the current transaction and/or revoked. This is done by calling the functions ext4_journal_forget() and ext4_journal_revoke(), which call jbd2_journal_forget(), and jbd2_journal_revoke(), respectively. Since the jbd2_journal_forget() and jbd2_journal_revoke() call bforget(), if ext4 is not using a journal, ext4_journal_forget() and ext4_journal_revoke() must call bforget() to avoid a dirty metadata block overwriting a block after it has been reallocated and reused for another inode's data block.
