| |/ / / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is fundamentally about fixing up the whitespace problems introduced by my previous patch (that brought the code into mainline). A second patch will follow that will fix memory leaks. The two need to be applied sequentially.

While we fixed that overflow issue in hrtimer_start(), the sites which convert relative user space values to absolute timeouts themself were uncovered. Instead of putting overflow checks into each place add a function which does the sanity checking and convert all affected callers to use it.

| * | | | slub: Support 4k kmallocs again to compensate for page allocator slownessChristoph Lameter2008-02-14

However, measurements indicate a minimum slowdown by the factor of 8 (and that is only SMP, NUMA is much worse) vs the slub fastpath which causes regressions in tbench. Increase the number of kmalloc caches by one so that we again handle 4k kmallocs directly from slub. 4k page buffering for the page allocator will be performed by slub like done by slab. At some point the page allocator fastpath should be fixed. A lot of the kernel would benefit from a faster ability to allocate a single page. If that is done then the 4k allocs may again be forwarded to the page allocator and this patch could be reverted.

Analogous to the Module.symvers file, the build will now write a Module.markers file when CONFIG_MARKERS=y is set. This file lists the name, defining module, and format string of each marker, separated by \t characters. This simple text file can be used by offline build procedures for instrumentation code, analogous to how System.map and Module.symvers can be useful to have for kernels other than the one you are running right now. The strings are made easy to extract by having the __trace_mark macro define the name and format together in a single array called __mstrtab_* in the __markers_strings section. This is straightforward and reliable as long as the marker structs are always defined by this macro. It is an unreasonable amount of hairy work to extract the string pointers from the __markers section structs, which entails handling a relocation type for every machine under the sun.

* | | Linux Kernel Markers: support multiple probesMathieu Desnoyers2008-02-13

Common case (one probe) is still fast and does not require dynamic allocation or a supplementary pointer dereference on the fast path. - Move preempt disable from the marker site to the callback. Since we now have an internal callback, move the preempt disable/enable to the callback instead of the marker site. Since the callback change is done asynchronously (passing from a handler that supports arguments to a handler that does not setup the arguments is no arguments are passed), we can safely update it even if it is outside the preempt disable section. - Move probe arm to probe connection. Now, a connected probe is automatically armed. Remove MARK_MAX_FORMAT_LEN, unused. This patch modifies the Linux Kernel Markers API : it removes the probe "arm/disarm" and changes the probe function prototype : it now expects a va_list * instead of a "...". If we want to have more than one probe connected to a marker at a given time (LTTng, or blktrace, ssytemtap) then we need this patch. Without it, connecting a second probe handler to a marker will fail. It allow us, for instance, to do interesting combinations : Do standard tracing with LTTng and, eventually, to compute statistics with SystemTAP, or to have a special trigger on an event that would call a systemtap script which would stop flight recorder tracing.

* | mempolicy: silently restrict nodemask to allowed nodesKOSAKI Motohiro2008-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Kosaki Motohito noted that "numactl --interleave=all ..." failed in the presence of memoryless nodes. This patch attempts to fix that problem. Some background: numactl --interleave=all calls set_mempolicy(2) with a fully populated [out to MAXNUMNODES] nodemask. set_mempolicy() [in do_set_mempolicy()] calls contextualize_policy() which requires that the nodemask be a subset of the current task's mems_allowed; else EINVAL will be returned. A task's mems_allowed will always be a subset of node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] i.e., nodes with memory. So, a fully populated nodemask will be declared invalid if it includes memoryless nodes. NOTE: the same thing will occur when running in a cpuset with restricted mem_allowed--for the same reason: node mask contains dis-allowed nodes. mbind(2), on the other hand, just masks off any nodes in the nodemask that are not included in the caller's mems_allowed. In each case [mbind() and set_mempolicy()], mpol_check_policy() will complain [again, resulting in EINVAL] if the nodemask contains any memoryless nodes. This is somewhat redundant as mpol_new() will remove memoryless nodes for interleave policy, as will bind_zonelist()--called by mpol_new() for BIND policy. Proposed fix: 1) modify contextualize_policy logic to: a) remember whether the incoming node mask is empty. b) if not, restrict the nodemask to allowed nodes, as is currently done in-line for mbind(). This guarantees that the resulting mask includes only nodes with memory. NOTE: this is a [benign, IMO] change in behavior for set_mempolicy(). Dis-allowed nodes will be silently ignored, rather than returning an error. c) fold this code into mpol_check_policy(), replace 2 calls to contextualize_policy() to call mpol_check_policy() directly and remove contextualize_policy(). 2) In existing mpol_check_policy() logic, after "contextualization": a) MPOL_DEFAULT: require that in coming mask "was_empty" b) MPOL_{BIND|INTERLEAVE}: require that contextualized nodemask contains at least one node. c) add a case for MPOL_PREFERRED: if in coming was not empty and resulting mask IS empty, user specified invalid nodes. Return EINVAL. c) remove the now redundant check for memoryless nodes 3) remove the now redundant masking of policy nodes for interleave policy from mpol_new(). 4) Now that mpol_check_policy() contextualizes the nodemask, remove the in-line nodes_and() from sys_mbind(). I believe that this restores mbind() to the behavior before the memoryless-nodes patch series. E.g., we'll no longer treat an invalid nodemask with MPOL_PREFERRED as local allocation. [ Patch history: v1 -> v2: - Communicate whether or not incoming node mask was empty to mpol_check_policy() for better error checking. - As suggested by David Rientjes, remove the now unused cpuset_nodes_subset_current_mems_allowed() from cpuset.h v2 -> v3: - As suggested by Kosaki Motohito, fold the "contextualization" of policy nodemask into mpol_check_policy().

Allocating IDE command structure on the stack for flush requests is not a very brilliant idea: - idedisk_prepare_flush() only prepares the request and it doesn't wait for it to be completed - there are can be multiple flush requests queued in the queue Fix the problem (per hints from James Bottomley) by: - dynamically allocating ide_task_t instance using kmalloc(..., GFP_ATOMIC) - adding new taskfile flag (IDE_TFLAG_DYN) - calling kfree() in ide_end_drive_command() if IDE_TFLAG_DYN is set (while at it rename 'args' to 'task' and fix whitespace damage) [ This will be fixed properly before 2.6.25 but this bug is rather critical and the proper solution requires some more work + testing. ] Thanks to Sebastian Siewior and Christoph Hellwig for reporting the problem and testing patches (extra thanks to Sebastian for bisecting it to the guilty commmit).

* | hrtimer: fix *rmtp handling in hrtimer_nanosleep()Oleg Nesterov2008-02-10

This means that if sys_restart_syscall() actually happens and it is interrupted as well, we don't update the user-space variable, but write into the already dead stack frame. Introduced by commit 04c227140fed77587432667a574b14736a06dd7f hrtimer: Rework hrtimer_nanosleep to make sys_compat_nanosleep easier Change the callers to pass "__user *rmtp" to hrtimer_nanosleep(), and change hrtimer_nanosleep() to use copy_to_user() to actually update *rmtp. Small problem remains. man 2 nanosleep states that *rtmp should be written if nanosleep() was interrupted (it says nothing whether it is OK to update *rmtp if nanosleep returns 0), but (with or without this patch) we can dirty *rem even if nanosleep() returns 0. NOTE: this patch doesn't change compat_sys_nanosleep(), because it has other bugs. Fixed by the next patch.

If it is set, then filesystem code which is "in development" will be allowed to mount the filesystem. Filesystem code which is not considered ready for prime-time will check for this flag, and if it is not set, it will refuse to touch the filesystem. As we start rolling ext4 out to distro's like Fedora, et. al, this makes it less likely that a user might accidentally start using ext4 on a production filesystem; a bad thing, since that will essentially make it be unfsckable until e2fsprogs catches up.
