* Add a tracepoint for block request remappingJun'ichi Nomura2009-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | Since 2.6.31 now has request-based device-mapper, it's useful to have a tracepoint for request-remapping as well as bio-remapping. This patch adds a tracepoint for request-remapping, trace_block_rq_remap().

* Add missing blk_trace_remove_sysfs to be in pair with blk_trace_init_sysfsZdenek Kabelac2009-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add missing blk_trace_remove_sysfs to be in pair with blk_trace_init_sysfs introduced in commit 1d54ad6da9192fed5dd3b60224d9f2dfea0dcd82. Release kobject also in case the request_fn is NULL. Problem was noticed via kmemleak backtrace when some sysfs entries were note properly destroyed during device removal: unreferenced object 0xffff88001aa76640 (size 80): comm "lvcreate", pid 2120, jiffies 4294885144 hex dump (first 32 bytes): 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 f0 65 a7 1a 00 88 ff ff .........e...... 90 66 a7 1a 00 88 ff ff 86 1d 53 81 ff ff ff ff .f........S..... backtrace: [<ffffffff813f9cc6>] kmemleak_alloc+0x26/0x60 [<ffffffff8111d693>] kmem_cache_alloc+0x133/0x1c0 [<ffffffff81195891>] sysfs_new_dirent+0x41/0x120 [<ffffffff81194b0c>] sysfs_add_file_mode+0x3c/0xb0 [<ffffffff81197c81>] internal_create_group+0xc1/0x1a0 [<ffffffff81197d93>] sysfs_create_group+0x13/0x20 [<ffffffff810d8004>] blk_trace_init_sysfs+0x14/0x20 [<ffffffff8123f45c>] blk_register_queue+0x3c/0xf0 [<ffffffff812447e4>] add_disk+0x94/0x160 [<ffffffffa00d8b08>] dm_create+0x598/0x6e0 [dm_mod] [<ffffffffa00de951>] dev_create+0x51/0x350 [dm_mod] [<ffffffffa00de823>] ctl_ioctl+0x1a3/0x240 [dm_mod] [<ffffffffa00de8f2>] dm_compat_ctl_ioctl+0x12/0x20 [dm_mod] [<ffffffff81177bfd>] compat_sys_ioctl+0xcd/0x4f0 [<ffffffff81036ed8>] sysenter_dispatch+0x7/0x2c [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff Signed-off-by: Zdenek Kabelac <zkabelac@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

| * hrtimer: Eliminate needless reprogramming of clock events deviceAshwin Chaugule2009-09-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On NOHZ systems the following timers, - tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick (tick_sched_timer) - hrtimer_start (tick_sched_timer) are reprogramming the clock events device far more often than needed. No specific test case was required to observe this effect. This occurres because there was no check to see if the currently removed or restarted hrtimer was: 1) the one which previously armed the clock events device. 2) going to be replaced by another timer which has the same expiry time. Avoid the reprogramming in hrtimer_force_reprogram when the new expiry value which is evaluated from the clock bases is equal to cpu_base->expires_next. This results in faster application startup time by ~4%.

| * | futex: Fix wakeup race by setting TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE before queue_me()Darren Hart2009-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PI futexes do not use the same plist_node_empty() test for wakeup. It was possible for the waiter (in futex_wait_requeue_pi()) to set TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE after the waker assigned the rtmutex to the waiter. The waiter would then note the plist was not empty and call schedule(). The task would not be found by any subsequeuent futex wakeups, resulting in a userspace hang. By moving the setting of TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE to before the call to queue_me(), the race with the waker is eliminated. Since we no longer call get_user() from within queue_me(), there is no need to delay the setting of TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE until after the call to queue_me(). The FUTEX_LOCK_PI operation is not affected as futex_lock_pi() relies entirely on the rtmutex code to handle schedule() and wakeup. The requeue PI code is affected because the waiter starts as a non-PI waiter and is woken on a PI futex. Remove the crusty old comment about holding spinlocks() across get_user() as we no longer do that. Correct the locking statement with a description of why the test is performed.

When such a file contains newline characters, the kernel parameter preceding the newline might not be correctly parsed (due to the newline being stuck to the end of the actual parameter value) which can lead to boot failures. This patch improves kernel command line usability in such a situation by allowing generic whitespace characters as separators between kernel parameters.

The goal is to prevent everyone from accessing these pages in the future. This done at the VM level by marking a page hwpoisoned and doing the appropriate action based on the type of page it is. The code that does this is portable and lives in mm/memory-failure.c To quote the overview comment: High level machine check handler. Handles pages reported by the hardware as being corrupted usually due to a 2bit ECC memory or cache failure. This focuses on pages detected as corrupted in the background. When the current CPU tries to consume corruption the currently running process can just be killed directly instead. This implies that if the error cannot be handled for some reason it's safe to just ignore it because no corruption has been consumed yet. Instead when that happens another machine check will happen. Handles page cache pages in various states. The tricky part here is that we can access any page asynchronous to other VM users, because memory failures could happen anytime and anywhere, possibly violating some of their assumptions. This is why this code has to be extremely careful. Generally it tries to use normal locking rules, as in get the standard locks, even if that means the error handling takes potentially a long time. Some of the operations here are somewhat inefficient and have non linear algorithmic complexity, because the data structures have not been optimized for this case. This is in particular the case for the mapping from a vma to a process. Since this case is expected to be rare we hope we can get away with this. There are in principle two strategies to kill processes on poison: - just unmap the data and wait for an actual reference before killing - kill as soon as corruption is detected. Both have advantages and disadvantages and should be used in different situations. Right now both are implemented and can be switched with a new sysctl vm.memory_failure_early_kill The default is early kill. The patch does some rmap data structure walking on its own to collect processes to kill. This is unusual because normally all rmap data structure knowledge is in rmap.c only. I put it here for now to keep everything together and rmap knowledge has been seeping out anyways Includes contributions from Johannes Weiner, Chris Mason, Fengguang Wu, Nick Piggin (who did a lot of great work) and others.

Typically applications which are memory error aware is better of with early kill (see the error as soon as possible), all others with late kill (only see the error when the error is really impacting execution) There's a global sysctl, but this way an application can set its specific policy. We're using two bits, one to signify that the process stated its intention and that I also made the prctl future proof by enforcing the unused arguments are 0. The state is inherited to children. Note this makes us officially run out of process flags on 32bit, but the next patch can easily add another field. Manpage patch will be supplied separately.

If the pipe reader specified in core_pattern is poorly written, we can have lots of ourstandig resources and processes in the system. This sysctl introduces an ability to limit that resource consumption. core_pipe_limit defines how many in-flight dumps may be run in parallel, dumps beyond this value are skipped and a note is made in the kernel log. A special value of 0 in core_pipe_limit denotes unlimited core dumps may be handled (this is the default value).

Remove this check from task_pid_type() and factor out ->pids[type] access, this shrinks .text a bit and simplifies the code. The matches the behaviour of other similar helpers, say get_task_pid(). The caller must ensure that pid_type is valid, not the callee.

| * | | | | | do_wait-wakeup-optimization: fix child_wait_callback()->eligible_child() usageOleg Nesterov2009-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | child_wait_callback()->eligible_child() is not right, we can miss the wakeup if the task was detached before __wake_up_parent() and the caller of do_wait() didn't use __WALL. Move ->wo_pid checks from eligible_child() to the new helper, eligible_pid(), and change child_wait_callback() to use it instead of eligible_child(). Note: actually I think it would be better to fix the __WCLONE check in eligible_child(), it doesn't look exactly right. But it is not clear what is the supposed behaviour, and any change is user-visible.
