ea164d7 [PATCH] shrinker->nr = LONG_MAX means deadlock for icache With Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> The slab scanning code tries to balance the scanning rate of slabs versus the scanning rate of LRU pages. To do this, it retains state concerning how many slabs have been scanned - if a particular slab shrinker didn't scan enough objects, we remember that for next time, and scan more objects on the next pass. The problem with this is that with (say) a huge number of GFP_NOIO direct-reclaim attempts, the number of objects which are to be scanned when we finally get a GFP_KERNEL request can be huge. Because some shrinker handlers just bail out if !__GFP_FS. So the patch clamps the number of objects-to-be-scanned to 2* the total number of objects in the slab cache.

6aea114 [PATCH] md: fix --re-add for raid1 and raid6 If you have an array with a write-intent-bitmap, and you remove a device, then re-add it, a full recovery isn't needed. We detect a re-add by looking at saved_raid_disk. For raid1, it doesn't matter which disk it was, only whether or not it was an active device. The old code being removed set a value of 'mirror' which was then ignored, so it can go. The changed code performs the correct check. For raid6, if there are two missing devices, make sure we chose the right slot on --re-add rather than always the first slot.

22dfdf5 [PATCH] md: improve read speed to raid10 arrays using 'far copies' raid10 has two different layouts. One uses near-copies (so multiple copies of a block are at the same or similar offsets of different devices) and the other uses far-copies (so multiple copies of a block are stored a greatly different offsets on different devices). The point of far-copies is that it allows the first section (normally first half) to be layed out in normal raid0 style, and thus provide raid0 sequential read performance. Unfortunately, the read balancing in raid10 makes some poor decisions for far-copies arrays and you don't get the desired performance. So turn off that bad bit of read_balance for far-copies arrays. With this patch, read speed of an 'f2' array is comparable with a raid0 with the same number of devices, though write speed is ofcourse still very slow.

f7b7fd8 [PATCH] temporarily disable swap token on memory pressure Some users (hi Zwane) have seen a problem when running a workload that eats nearly all of physical memory - th system does an OOM kill, even when there is still a lot of swap free. The problem appears to be a very big task that is holding the swap token, and the VM has a very hard time finding any other page in the system that is swappable. Instead of ignoring the swap token when sc->priority reaches 0, we could simply take the swap token away from the memory hog and make sure we don't give it back to the memory hog for a few seconds. This patch resolves the problem Zwane ran into.

3148890 [PATCH] mm: __alloc_pages cleanup fix I believe this patch is required to fix breakage in the asynch reclaim watermark logic introduced by this patch: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=7fb1d9fca5c6e3b06773b69165a73f3fb786b8ee Just some background of the watermark logic in case it isn't clear... Basically what we have is this: --- pages_high | | (a) | --- pages_low | | (b) | --- pages_min | | (c) | --- 0 Now when pages_low is reached, we want to kick asynch reclaim, which gives us an interval of "b" before we must start synch reclaim, and gives kswapd an interval of "a" before it need go back to sleep. When pages_min is reached, normal allocators must enter synch reclaim, but PF_MEMALLOC, ALLOC_HARDER, and ALLOC_HIGH (ie. atomic allocations, recursive allocations, etc.) get access to varying amounts of the reserve "c".

aa877b3 [PATCH] ext3: Wrong return value for EXT3_IOC_GROUP_ADD This patch corrects the return value for the EXT3_IOC_GROUP_ADD in case it fails due to the presence of multiple resizers at the filesystem.

91f4ab0 [PATCH] m32r: Fix sys_tas() syscall This patch fixes a deadlock problem of the m32r SMP kernel. In the m32r kernel, sys_tas() system call is provided as a test-and-set function for userspace, for backward compatibility. In some multi-threading application program, deadlocks were rarely caused at sys_tas() funcion. Such a deadlock was caused due to a collision of __pthread_lock() and __pthread_unlock() operations. The "tas" syscall is repeatedly called by pthread_mutex_lock() to get a lock, while a lock variable's value is not 0. On the other hand, pthead_mutex_unlock() sets the lock variable to 0 for unlocking. In the previous implementation of sys_tas() routine, there was a possibility that a unlock operation was ignored in the following case: - Assume a lock variable (*addr) was equal to 1 before sys_tas() execution. - __pthread_unlock() operation is executed by the other processor and the lock variable (*addr) is set to 0, between a read operation ("oldval = *addr;") and the following write operation ("*addr = 1;") during a execution of sys_tas(). In this case, the following write operation ("*addr = 1;") overwrites the __pthread_unlock() result, and sys_tas() fails to get a lock in the next turn and after that. According to the attatched patch, sys_tas() returns 0 value in the next turn and deadlocks never happen.

bce61dd [PATCH] Fix hardcoded cpu=0 in workqueue for per_cpu_ptr() calls Tracked this down on an Ultra Enterprise 3000. It's a 6-way machine. Odd thing about this machine (and it's good for finding bugs like this) is that the CPU id's are not 0 based. For instance, on my machine the CPU's are 6/7/10/11/14/15. This caused some NULL pointer dereference in kernel/workqueue.c because for single_threaded workqueue's, it hardcoded the cpu to 0. I changed the 0's to any_online_cpu(cpu_online_mask), which cpumask.h claims is "First cpu in mask". So this fits the same usage.

8080f23 [PATCH] FRV: Make the FRV arch work again The attached patch implements a bunch of small changes to the FRV arch to make it work again. It deals with the following problems: (1) SEM_DEBUG should be SEMAPHORE_DEBUG. (2) The argument list to pcibios_penalize_isa_irq() has changed. (3) CONFIG_HIGHMEM can't be used directly in #if as it may not be defined. (4) page->private is no longer directly accessible. (5) linux/hardirq.h assumes asm/hardirq.h will include linux/irq.h (6) The IDE MMIO access functions are given pointers, not integers, and so get type casting errors. (7) __pa() is passed an explicit u64 type in drivers/char/mem.c, but that can't be cast directly to a pointer on a 32-bit platform. (8) SEMAPHORE_DEBUG should not be contingent on WAITQUEUE_DEBUG as that no longer exists. (9) PREEMPT_ACTIVE is too low a value.

a9d9baa [PATCH] clean up lock_cpu_hotplug() in cpufreq There are some callers in cpufreq hotplug notify path that the lowest function calls lock_cpu_hotplug(). The lock is already held during cpu_up() and cpu_down() calls when the notify calls are broadcast to registered clients. Ideally if possible, we could disable_preempt() at the highest caller and make sure we dont sleep in the path down in cpufreq->driver_target() calls but the calls are so intertwined and cumbersome to cleanup. Hence we consistently use lock_cpu_hotplug() and unlock_cpu_hotplug() in all places. - Removed export of cpucontrol semaphore and made it static. - removed explicit uses of up/down with lock_cpu_hotplug() so we can keep track of the the callers in same thread context and just keep refcounts without calling a down() that causes a deadlock. - Removed current_in_hotplug() uses - Removed PF_HOTPLUG_CPU in sched.h introduced for the current_in_hotplug() temporary workaround. Tested with insmod of cpufreq_stat.ko, and logical online/offline to make sure we dont have any hang situations.

6aab341 mm: re-architect the VM_UNPAGED logic This replaces the (in my opinion horrible) VM_UNMAPPED logic with very explicit support for a "remapped page range" aka VM_PFNMAP. It allows a VM area to contain an arbitrary range of page table entries that the VM never touches, and never considers to be normal pages. Any user of "remap_pfn_range()" automatically gets this new functionality, and doesn't even have to mark the pages reserved or indeed mark them any other way. It just works. As a side effect, doing mmap() on /dev/mem works for arbitrary ranges. Sparc update from David in the next commit. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> 28 November 2005, 22:34:23 UTC

5edf71a [ARM] Do not call flush_tlb_kernel_range() with IRQs disabled. We must not call TLB maintainence operations with interrupts disabled, otherwise we risk a lockup in the SMP IPI code. This means that consistent_free() can not be called from a context with IRQs disabled. In addition, we must not hold the lock in consistent_free when we call flush_tlb_kernel_range(). However, we must continue to prevent consistent_alloc() from re-using the memory region until we've finished tearing down the mapping and dealing with the TLB. Therefore, leave the vm_region entry in the list, but mark it inactive before dropping the lock and starting the tear-down process. After the mapping has been torn down, re-acquire the lock and remove the entry from the list. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk> 25 November 2005, 15:52:51 UTC

9a94c57 [PATCH] powerpc: More hugepage boundary case fixes Blah. The patch [0] I recently sent fixing errors with in_hugepage_area() and prepare_hugepage_range() for powerpc itself has an off-by-one bug. Furthermore, the related functions touches_hugepage_*_range() and within_hugepage_*_range() are also buggy. Some of the bugs, like those addressed in [0] originated with commit 7d24f0b8a53261709938ffabe3e00f88f6498df9 where we tweaked the semantics of where hugepages are allowed. Other bugs have been there essentially forever, and are due to the undefined behaviour of '<<' with shift counts greater than the type width (LOW_ESID_MASK could return non-zero for high ranges with the right congruences). The good news is that I now have a testsuite which should pick up things like this if they creep in again.

1880752 [PATCH] USB: EHCI updates split init/reinit logic for resume Moving the PCI-specific parts of the EHCI driver into their own file created a few issues ... notably on resume paths which (like swsusp) require re-initializing the controller. This patch: - Splits the EHCI startup code into run-once HCD setup code and separate "init the hardware" reinit code. (That reinit code is a superset of the "early usb handoff" code.) - Then it makes the PCI init code run both, and the resume code only run the reinit code. - It also removes needless pci wrappers around EHCI start/stop methods. - Removes a byteswap issue that would be seen on big-endian hardware. The HCD glue still doesn't actually provide a good way to do all this run-one init stuff in one place though.

(In this case it was restoring a swsusp snapshot, but there could be others.) Un-exports a symbol that was temporarily exported.

First, the in_hugepage_area() macro was not updated to match, second prepare_hugepage_range() was not updated to correctly handle hugepages regions which straddled the 4GB point. The latter appears only to cause process-hangs when attempting to map such a region, but the former can cause oopses if a get_user_pages() is triggered at the wrong point.

962b564 [PATCH] fix do_wait() vs exec() race When non-leader thread does exec, de_thread adds old leader to the init's ->children list in EXIT_ZOMBIE state and drops tasklist_lock. This means that release_task(leader) in de_thread() is racy vs do_wait() from init task. I think de_thread() should set old leader's state to EXIT_DEAD instead.

8bf1101 [PATCH] kprobes: Fix return probes on sys_execve Fix a bug in kprobes that can cause an Oops or even a crash when a return probe is installed on one of the following functions: sys_execve, do_execve, load_*_binary, flush_old_exec, or flush_thread. The fix is to remove the call to kprobe_flush_task() in flush_thread(). This fix has been tested on all architectures for which the return-probes feature has been implemented (i386, x86_64, ppc64, ia64). Please apply. BACKGROUND Up to now, we have called kprobe_flush_task() under two situations: when a task exits, and when it execs. Flushing kretprobe_instances on exit is correct because (a) do_exit() doesn't return, and (b) one or more return-probed functions may be active when a task calls do_exit(). Neither is the case for sys_execve() and its callees. Initially, the mistaken call to kprobe_flush_task() on exec was harmless because we put the "real" return address of each active probed function back in the stack, just to be safe, when we recycled its kretprobe_instance. When support for ppc64 and ia64 was added, this safety measure couldn't be employed, and was eventually dropped even for i386 and x86_64. sys_execve() and its callees were informally blacklisted for return probes until this fix was developed.

7c72aaf [PATCH] mm: fill arch atomic64 gaps alpha, sparc64, x86_64 are each missing some primitives from their atomic64 support: fill in the gaps I've noticed by extrapolating asm, follow the groupings in each file. But powerpc and parisc still lack atomic64. Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Cc: Richard Henderson <rth@twiddle.net> Cc: Ivan Kokshaysky <ink@jurassic.park.msu.ru> Cc: "David S.
