* | Fix a bad error case handling in read_cache_page_async()David Howells2007-05-09

It added a "mark_page_accessed(page)" at the final return path in read_cache_page_async(). But in error cases, 'page' holds the error code, and you can't mark it accessed.

* | Move remote node draining out of slab allocatorsChristoph Lameter2007-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the slab allocators contain callbacks into the page allocator to perform the draining of pagesets on remote nodes. This requires SLUB to have a whole subsystem in order to be compatible with SLAB. Moving node draining out of the slab allocators avoids a section of code in SLUB. Move the node draining so that is is done when the vm statistics are updated. At that point we are already touching all the cachelines with the pagesets of a processor. Add a expire counter there. If we have to update per zone or global vm statistics then assume that the pageset will require subsequent draining. The expire counter will be decremented on each vm stats update pass until it reaches zero. Then we will drain one batch from the pageset. The draining will cause vm counter updates which will then cause another expiration until the pcp is empty. So we will drain a batch every 3 seconds. Note that remote node draining is a somewhat esoteric feature that is required on large NUMA systems because otherwise significant portions of system memory can become trapped in pcp queues. The number of pcp is determined by the number of processors and nodes in a system. A system with 4 processors and 2 nodes has 8 pcps which is okay. But a system with 1024 processors and 512 nodes has 512k pcps with a high potential for large amount of memory being caught in them.

* | vmstat: use our own timer eventsChristoph Lameter2007-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | vmstat is currently using the cache reaper to periodically bring the statistics up to date. The cache reaper does only exists in SLUB as a way to provide compatibility with SLAB. This patch removes the vmstat calls from the slab allocators and provides its own handling. The advantage is also that we can use a different frequency for the updates. Refreshing vm stats is a pretty fast job so we can run this every second and stagger this by only one tick. This will lead to some overlap in large systems. F.e a system running at 250 HZ with 1024 processors will have 4 vm updates occurring at once. However, the vm stats update only accesses per node information. It is only necessary to stagger the vm statistics updates per processor in each node. Vm counter updates occurring on distant nodes will not cause cacheline contention. We could implement an alternate approach that runs the first processor on each node at the second and then each of the other processor on a node on a subsequent tick. That may be useful to keep a large amount of the second free of timer activity. Maybe the timer folks will have some feedback on this one?

* | Add suspend-related notifications for CPU hotplugRafael J. Wysocki2007-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration (for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal" ones).

* | fs: convert core functions to zero_user_pageNate Diller2007-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's very common for file systems to need to zero part or all of a page, the simplist way is just to use kmap_atomic() and memset(). There's actually a library function in include/linux/highmem.h that does exactly that, but it's confusingly named memclear_highpage_flush(), which is descriptive of *how* it does the work rather than what the *purpose* is. So this patchset renames the function to zero_user_page(), and calls it from the various places that currently open code it. This first patch introduces the new function call, and converts all the core kernel callsites, both the open-coded ones and the old memclear_highpage_flush() ones. Following this patch is a series of conversions for each file system individually, per AKPM, and finally a patch deprecating the old call. The diffstat below shows the entire patchset.

* | pretend cpuset has some form of hugetlb page reservationKen Chen2007-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When cpuset is configured, it breaks the strict hugetlb page reservation as the accounting is done on a global variable. Such reservation is completely rubbish in the presence of cpuset because the reservation is not checked against page availability for the current cpuset. Application can still potentially OOM'ed by kernel with lack of free htlb page in cpuset that the task is in. Attempt to enforce strict accounting with cpuset is almost impossible (or too ugly) because cpuset is too fluid that task or memory node can be dynamically moved between cpusets. The change of semantics for shared hugetlb mapping with cpuset is undesirable. However, in order to preserve some of the semantics, we fall back to check against current free page availability as a best attempt and hopefully to minimize the impact of changing semantics that cpuset has on hugetlb.

* | fix leaky resv_huge_pages when cpuset is in useKen Chen2007-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The internal hugetlb resv_huge_pages variable can permanently leak nonzero value in the error path of hugetlb page fault handler when hugetlb page is used in combination of cpuset. The leaked count can permanently trap N number of hugetlb pages in unusable "reserved" state. Steps to reproduce the bug: (1) create two cpuset, user1 and user2 (2) reserve 50 htlb pages in cpuset user1 (3) attempt to shmget/shmat 50 htlb page inside cpuset user2 (4) kernel oom the user process in step 3 (5) ipcrm the shm segment At this point resv_huge_pages will have a count of 49, even though there are no active hugetlbfs file nor hugetlb shared memory segment in the system. The leak is permanent and there is no recovery method other than system reboot. The leaked count will hold up all future use of that many htlb pages in all cpusets. The culprit is that the error path of alloc_huge_page() did not properly undo the change it made to resv_huge_page, causing inconsistent state.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This implements deferred IO support in fbdev. Deferred IO is a way to delay and repurpose IO. This implementation is done using mm's page_mkwrite and page_mkclean hooks in order to detect, delay and then rewrite IO. This functionality is used by hecubafb. [adaplas] This is useful for graphics hardware with no directly addressable/mappable framebuffer. Implementing this will allow the "framebuffer" to be accesible from user space via mmap().

* move die notifier handling to common codeChristoph Hellwig2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code. Previous various architectures had exactly the same code for it. Note that the new code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place) arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's declared and used at. avr32 used to pass slightly less information through this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

* Add white list into modpost.c for memory hotplug code and ia64's machvec sectionYasunori Goto2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is add white list into modpost.c for some functions and ia64's section to fix section mismatchs. sparse_index_alloc() and zone_wait_table_init() calls bootmem allocator at boot time, and kmalloc/vmalloc at hotplug time. If config memory hotplug is on, there are references of bootmem allocater(init text) from them (normal text). This is cause of section mismatch. Bootmem is called by many functions and it must be used only at boot time. I think __init of them should keep for section mismatch check. So, I would like to register sparse_index_alloc() and zone_wait_table_init() into white list. In addition, ia64's .machvec section is function table of some platform dependent code. It is mixture of .init.text and normal text. These reference of __init functions are valid too.

* Increase slab redzone to 64bitsDavid Woodhouse2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are two problems with the existing redzone implementation. Firstly, it's causing misalignment of structures which contain a 64-bit integer, such as netfilter's 'struct ipt_entry' -- causing netfilter modules to fail to load because of the misalignment. (In particular, the first check in net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.c::check_entry_size_and_hooks()) On ppc32 and sparc32, amongst others, __alignof__(uint64_t) == 8. With slab debugging, we use 32-bit redzones. And allocated slab objects aren't sufficiently aligned to hold a structure containing a uint64_t. By _just_ setting ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to __alignof__(u64) we'd disable redzone checks on those architectures. By using 64-bit redzones we avoid that loss of debugging, and also fix the other problem while we're at it. When investigating this, I noticed that on 64-bit platforms we're using a 32-bit value of RED_ACTIVE/RED_INACTIVE in the 64-bit memory location set aside for the redzone. Which means that the four bytes immediately before or after the allocated object at 0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00 for LE and BE machines, respectively. Which is probably not the most useful choice of poison value. One way to fix both of those at once is just to switch to 64-bit redzones in all cases.

In particular given that the slab allocators run with interrupts disabled. Actions in constructors and destructors are by their nature very limited and usually do not go beyond initializing variables and list operations. (The i386 pgd ctor and dtors do take a spinlock in constructor and destructor..... I think that is the furthest we go at this point.) There is no flag passed to the destructor so removing SLAB_CTOR_ATOMIC also establishes a certain symmetry.

* | slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flagChristoph Lameter2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL. It is only supported by SLAB. I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed to verify that the state is the constructor state again? The callback is performed before each freeing of an object. I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually before the free. That also places the check near the code object manipulation of the object. Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was compiled with SLAB debugging on. If there would be code in a constructor handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code. But there is no such code in the kernel. I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the same effect (i.e. add debug code before kfree). There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be clear in fs inode caches. Remove the pointless checks (they would even be pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors. This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support. Remove the check for unimplemented flags from SLUB.
