df6c0cd [PATCH] clean up add_bd_holder() add_bd_holder() is called from bd_claim_by_kobject to put a given struct bd_holder in the list if there is no matching entry. There are 3 possible results of add_bd_holder(): 1. there is no matching entry and add the given one to the list 2. there is matching entry, so just increment reference count of the existing one 3. something failed during its course 1 and 2 are successful cases. But for case 2, someone has to free the unused struct bd_holder. The current code frees it inside of add_bd_holder and returns same value 0 for both cases 1 and 2. However, it's natural and less error-prone if caller frees it since it's allocated by the caller.

d6740df [PATCH] sunrpc: fix refcounting problems in rpc servers A recent patch fixed a problem which would occur when the refcount on an auth_domain reached zero. This problem has not been reported in practice despite existing in two major kernel releases because the refcount can never reach zero. This patch fixes the problems that stop the refcount reaching zero. 1/ We were adding to the refcount when inserting in the hash table, but only removing from the hashtable when the refcount reached zero. Obviously it never would. So don't count the implied reference of being in the hash table. 2/ There are two paths on which a socket can be destroyed. One called svcauth_unix_info_release(). The other didn't. So when the other was taken, we can lose a reference to an ip_map which in-turn holds a reference to an auth_domain So unify the exit paths into svc_sock_put. This highlights the fact that svc_delete_socket has slightly odd semantics - it does not drop a reference but probably should. Fixing this need a bit more thought and testing.

b428b51 [PATCH] Fix "Remove the use of _syscallX macros in UML" Fix commit 5f4c6bc1f369f20807a8e753c2308d1629478c61: it spits out warnings about missing syscall prototype (it is in <unistd.h>) and it does not recognize that two uses of _syscallX are to be resolved against kernel headers in the source tree, not against _syscallX; they in fact do not compile and would not work anyway. If _syscallX macros will be removed from the kernel tree altogether, the only reasonable solution for that piece of code is switching to open-coded inline assembly (it's remapping the whole executable from memory, except the page containing this code).

209ad53 Revert "r8169: mac address change support" This reverts commit a2b98a697fa4e7564f78905b83db122824916cf9. As per Guennadi Liakhovetski, the mac address change support code breaks some normal uses (_without_ any address changes), and until it's all sorted out, we're better off without it. Says Francois: "Go revert it. Despite what I claimed, I can not find a third-party confirmation by email that it works elsewhere. It would probably be enough to remove the call to __rtl8169_set_mac_addr() in rtl8169_hw_start() though."

5211e6e [PATCH] Fix GFP_HIGHMEM slab panic As reported by Martin J. Bligh <mbligh@google.com>, we let through some non-slab bits to slab allocation through __get_vm_area_node when doing a vmalloc. I haven't been able to reproduce this, although I understand why it happens: vmalloc allocates memory with GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_HIGHMEM and commit 52fd24ca1db3a741f144bbc229beefe044202cac resulted in the same flags are passed down to cache_alloc_refill, causing the BUG. The following patch fixes it. Note that when calling kmalloc_node, I am masking off __GFP_HIGHMEM with GFP_LEVEL_MASK, whereas __vmalloc_area_node does the same with ~(__GFP_HIGHMEM | __GFP_ZERO). IMHO, using GFP_LEVEL_MASK is preferable, but either should fix this problem. Signed-off-by: Giridhar Pemmasani (pgiri@yahoo.com) Cc: Martin J.

0c6cb97 [PATCH] Calculation fix for memory holes beyong the end of physical memory absent_pages_in_range() made the assumption that users of the arch-independent zone-sizing API would not care about holes beyound the end of physical memory. This was not the case and was "fixed" in a patch called "Account for holes that are outside the range of physical memory". However, when given a range that started before a hole in "real" memory and ended beyond the end of memory, it would get the result wrong. The bug is in mainline but a patch is below. It has been tested successfully on a number of machines and architectures.

However as far as I see this comment is not correct: when we cannot take s_umount rw_semaphore (for example because it was taken in do_remount) this dentry is already extracted from dentry_unused list and we do not add it into the list again. Therefore dentry will not be found by prune_dcache() and shrink_dcache_sb() and will leave in memory very long time until the partition will be unmounted. The patch adds this dentry into tail of the dentry_unused list.

856fc29 [PATCH] hugetlb: fix prio_tree unit hugetlb_vmtruncate_list was misconverted to prio_tree: its prio_tree is in units of PAGE_SIZE (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE) like any other, not HPAGE_SIZE (whereas its radix_tree is kept in units of HPAGE_SIZE, otherwise slots would be absurdly sparse). At first I thought the error benign, just calling __unmap_hugepage_range on more vmas than necessary; but on 32-bit machines, when the prio_tree is searched correctly, it happens to ensure the v_offset calculation won't overflow. As it stood, when truncating at or beyond 4GB, it was liable to discard pages COWed from lower offsets; or even to clear pmd entries of preceding vmas, triggering exit_mmap's BUG_ON(nr_ptes).

f2d0aa5 [PATCH] memory hotplug: __GFP_NOWARN is better for __kmalloc_section_memmap() Add __GFP_NOWARN flag to calling of __alloc_pages() in __kmalloc_section_memmap(). It can reduce noisy failure message. In ia64, section size is 1 GB, this means that order 8 pages are necessary for each section's memmap. It is often very hard requirement under heavy memory pressure as you know. So, __alloc_pages() gives up allocation and shows many noisy stack traces which means no page for each sections. (Current my environment shows 32 times of stack trace....) But, __kmalloc_section_memmap() calls vmalloc() after failure of it, and it can succeed allocation of memmap. So, its stack trace warning becomes just noisy. I suppose it shouldn't be shown.

9b57988 [PATCH] jbd2: journal_dirty_data re-check for unmapped buffers When running several fsx's and other filesystem stress tests, we found cases where an unmapped buffer was still being sent to submit_bh by the ext3 dirty data journaling code. I saw this happen in two ways, both related to another thread doing a truncate which would unmap the buffer in question. Either we would get into journal_dirty_data with a bh which was already unmapped (although journal_dirty_data_fn had checked for this earlier, the state was not locked at that point), or it would get unmapped in the middle of journal_dirty_data when we dropped locks to call sync_dirty_buffer. By re-checking for mapped state after we've acquired the bh state lock, we should avoid these races. If we find a buffer which is no longer mapped, we essentially ignore it, because journal_unmap_buffer has already decided that this buffer can go away. I've also added tracepoints in these two cases, and made a couple other tracepoint changes that I found useful in debugging this.

bbdb396 [PATCH] Use min of two prio settings in calculating distress for reclaim If try_to_free_pages / balance_pgdat are called with a gfp_mask specifying GFP_IO and/or GFP_FS, they will reclaim the requisite number of pages, and the reset prev_priority to DEF_PRIORITY (or to some other high (ie: unurgent) value). However, another reclaimer without those gfp_mask flags set (say, GFP_NOIO) may still be struggling to reclaim pages. The concurrent overwrite of zone->prev_priority will cause this GFP_NOIO thread to unexpectedly cease deactivating mapped pages, thus causing reclaim difficulties. Fix this is to key the distress calculation not off zone->prev_priority, but also take into account the local caller's priority by using min(zone->prev_priority, sc->priority) Signed-off-by: Martin J.

3bb1a85 [PATCH] vmscan: Fix temp_priority race The temp_priority field in zone is racy, as we can walk through a reclaim path, and just before we copy it into prev_priority, it can be overwritten (say with DEF_PRIORITY) by another reclaimer. The same bug is contained in both try_to_free_pages and balance_pgdat, but it is fixed slightly differently. In balance_pgdat, we keep a separate priority record per zone in a local array. In try_to_free_pages there is no need to do this, as the priority level is the same for all zones that we reclaim from. Impact of this bug is that temp_priority is copied into prev_priority, and setting this artificially high causes reclaimers to set distress artificially low. They then fail to reclaim mapped pages, when they are, in fact, under severe memory pressure (their priority may be as low as 0). This causes the OOM killer to fire incorrectly. From: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> __zone_reclaim() isn't modifying zone->prev_priority. But zone->prev_priority is used in the decision whether or not to bring mapped pages onto the inactive list. Hence there's a risk here that __zone_reclaim() will fail because zone->prev_priority ir large (ie: low urgency) and lots of mapped pages end up stuck on the active list. Fix that up by decreasing (ie making more urgent) zone->prev_priority as __zone_reclaim() scans the zone's pages. This bug perhaps explains why ZONE_RECLAIM_PRIORITY was created. It should be possible to remove that now, and to just start out at DEF_PRIORITY?
