72853e2 mm: page allocator: update free page counters after pages are placed on the free list When allocating a page, the system uses NR_FREE_PAGES counters to determine if watermarks would remain intact after the allocation was made. This check is made without interrupts disabled or the zone lock held and so is race-prone by nature. Unfortunately, when pages are being freed in batch, the counters are updated before the pages are added on the list. During this window, the counters are misleading as the pages do not exist yet. When under significant pressure on systems with large numbers of CPUs, it's possible for processes to make progress even though they should have been stalled. This is particularly problematic if a number of the processes are using GFP_ATOMIC as the min watermark can be accidentally breached and in extreme cases, the system can livelock. This patch updates the counters after the pages have been added to the list. This makes the allocator more cautious with respect to preserving the watermarks and mitigates livelock possibilities.

3399446 swap: discard while swapping only if SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD Tests with recent firmware on Intel X25-M 80GB and OCZ Vertex 60GB SSDs show a shift since I last tested in December: in part because of firmware updates, in part because of the necessary move from barriers to awaiting completion at the block layer. While discard at swapon still shows as slightly beneficial on both, discarding 1MB swap cluster when allocating is now disadvanteous: adds 25% overhead on Intel, adds 230% on OCZ (YMMV). Surrender: discard as presently implemented is more hindrance than help for swap; but might prove useful on other devices, or with improvements. So continue to do the discard at swapon, but make discard while swapping conditional on a SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD to sys_swapon() (which has been using only the lower 16 bits of int flags). We can add a --discard or -d to swapon(8), and a "discard" to swap in /etc/fstab: matching the mount option for btrfs, ext4, fat, gfs2, nilfs2.

8f2ae0f swap: do not send discards as barriers The swap code already uses synchronous discards, no need to add I/O barriers.

b73d7fc swap: prevent reuse during hibernation Move the hibernation check from scan_swap_map() into try_to_free_swap(): to catch not only the common case when hibernation's allocation itself triggers swap reuse, but also the less likely case when concurrent page reclaim (shrink_page_list) might happen to try_to_free_swap from a page. Hibernation already clears __GFP_IO from the gfp_allowed_mask, to stop reclaim from going to swap: check that to prevent swap reuse too.

910321e swap: revert special hibernation allocation Please revert 2.6.36-rc commit d2997b1042ec150616c1963b5e5e919ffd0b0ebf "hibernation: freeze swap at hibernation". It complicated matters by adding a second swap allocation path, just for hibernation; without in any way fixing the issue that it was intended to address - page reclaim after fixing the hibernation image might free swap from a page already imaged as swapcache, letting its swap be reallocated to store a different page of the image: resulting in data corruption if the imaged page were freed as clean then swapped back in. Pages freed to si->swap_map were still in danger of being reallocated by the alternative allocation path. I guess it inadvertently fixed slow SSD swap allocation for hibernation, as reported by Nigel Cunningham: by missing out the discards that occur on the usual swap allocation path; but that was unintentional, and needs a separate fix.

ac8456d bounce: call flush_dcache_page() after bounce_copy_vec() I have been seeing problems on Tegra 2 (ARMv7 SMP) systems with HIGHMEM enabled on 2.6.35 (plus some patches targetted at 2.6.36 to perform cache maintenance lazily), and the root cause appears to be that the mm bouncing code is calling flush_dcache_page before it copies the bounce buffer into the bio. The bounced page needs to be flushed after data is copied into it, to ensure that architecture implementations can synchronize instruction and data caches if necessary.

5affb60 gpio: sx150x: correct and refine reset-on-probe behavior Replace the arbitrary software-reset call from the device-probe method, because: - It is defective. To work correctly, it should be two byte writes, not a single word write. As it stands, it does nothing. - Some devices with sx150x expanders installed have their NRESET pins ganged on the same line, so resetting one causes the others to reset - not a nice thing to do arbitrarily! - The probe, usually taking place at boot, implies a recent hard-reset, so a software reset at this point is just a waste of energy anyway. Therefore, make it optional, defaulting to off, as this will match the common case of probing at powerup and also matches the current broken no-op behavior.

bc69304 mm: compaction: handle active and inactive fairly in too_many_isolated Iram reported that compaction's too_many_isolated() loops forever. (http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg08123.html) The meminfo when the situation happened was inactive anon is zero. That's because the system has no memory pressure until then. While all anon pages were in the active lru, compaction could select active lru as well as inactive lru. That's a different thing from vmscan's isolated. So we has been two too_many_isolated. While compaction can isolate pages in both active and inactive, current implementation of too_many_isolated only considers inactive. It made Iram's problem. This patch handles active and inactive fairly. That's because we can't expect where from and how many compaction would isolated pages. This patch changes (nr_isolated > nr_inactive) with nr_isolated > (nr_active + nr_inactive) / 2.

4969c11 mm: fix swapin race condition The pte_same check is reliable only if the swap entry remains pinned (by the page lock on swapcache). We've also to ensure the swapcache isn't removed before we take the lock as try_to_free_swap won't care about the page pin. One of the possible impacts of this patch is that a KSM-shared page can point to the anon_vma of another process, which could exit before the page is freed. This can leave a page with a pointer to a recycled anon_vma object, or worse, a pointer to something that is no longer an anon_vma.

b78d6c5 tmio_mmc: don't clear unhandled pending interrupts Previously, it was possible for ack_mmc_irqs() to clear pending interrupt bits in the CTL_STATUS register, even though the interrupt handler had not been called. This was because of a race that existed when doing a read-modify-write sequence on CTL_STATUS. After the read step in this sequence, if an interrupt occurred (causing one of the bits in CTL_STATUS to be set) the write step would inadvertently clear it. Observed with the TMIO_STAT_RXRDY bit together with CMD53 on AR6002 and BCM4318 SDIO cards in polled mode. This patch eliminates this race by only writing to CTL_STATUS and clearing the interrupts that were passed as an argument to ack_mmc_irqs()."

85a0fdf gcov: fix null-pointer dereference for certain module types The gcov-kernel infrastructure expects that each object file is loaded only once. This may not be true, e.g. when loading multiple kernel modules which are linked to the same object file. As a result, loading such kernel modules will result in incorrect gcov results while unloading will cause a null-pointer dereference. This patch fixes these problems by changing the gcov-kernel infrastructure so that multiple profiling data sets can be associated with one debugfs entry. It applies to 2.6.36-rc1.

7a801ac O_DIRECT: fix the splitting up of contiguous I/O commit c2c6ca4 (direct-io: do not merge logically non-contiguous requests) introduced a bug whereby all O_DIRECT I/Os were submitted a page at a time to the block layer. The problem is that the code expected dio->block_in_file to correspond to the current page in the dio. In fact, it corresponds to the previous page submitted via submit_page_section. This was purely an oversight, as the dio->cur_page_fs_offset field was introduced for just this purpose. This patch simply uses the correct variable when calculating whether there is a mismatch between contiguous logical blocks and contiguous physical blocks (as described in the comments). I also switched the if conditional following this check to an else if, to ensure that we never call dio_bio_submit twice for the same dio (in theory, this should not happen, anyway). I've tested this by running blktrace and verifying that a 64KB I/O was submitted as a single I/O. I also ran the patched kernel through xfstests' aio tests using xfs, ext4 (with 1k and 4k block sizes) and btrfs and verified that there were no regressions as compared to an unpatched kernel.

b6de860 rtc-bfin: fix state restoration when resuming Much (but not all) of the RTC state is kept in the RTC peripheral which has its own power domain. Periodically (1 HZ), that state is synced from one power domain to the other (peripheral->core). When we are resuming, we need to wait for the sync to occur so that we don't get a mismatch of reading undefined state in the rest of the driver. Further, once the externally maintained bits have been synced back into the core, we then need to restore the bits maintained in the core. In our particular case, that is just the write completion interrupt bit. If we don't do any of this, working with the RTC causes ~5 second delays from time to time after waking up due to the write completion interrupt never firing.

f3c65b2 mmc: avoid getting CID on SDIO-only cards The introduction of support for SD combo cards breaks the initialization of all CSR SDIO chips. The GO_IDLE (CMD0) in mmc_sd_get_cid() causes CSR chips to be reset (this is non-standard behavior). When initializing an SDIO card check for a combo card by using the memory present bit in the R4 response to IO_SEND_OP_COND (CMD5). This avoids the call to mmc_sd_get_cid() on an SDIO-only card.

dae5872 RDMA/nes: Fix double CLOSE event indication crash During a stress testing in a large cluster, multiple close event are detected and BUG() is hit in the iWARP core. The cause is that the active node gave up while waiting for an MPA response from the peer and tried to close the connection by sending RST. The passive node driver receives the RST but is waiting for MPA response from the user. When the MPA accept is received, the driver offloads the connection and sends a CLOSE event. The driver gets an AE indicating RESET received and also sends a CLOSE event, hitting a BUG(). Fix this by correcting RESET handling and sending CLOSE events.

2be23c4 ARM: Ensure PTE modifications via dma_alloc_coherent are visible Dave Hylands reports: | We've observed a problem with dma_alloc_writecombine when the system | is under heavy load (heavy bus traffic). We've managed to reduce the | problem to the following snippet, which is run from a kthread in a | continuous loop: | | void *virtAddr; | dma_addr_t physAddr; | unsigned int numBytes = 256; | | for (;;) { | virtAddr = dma_alloc_writecombine(NULL, | numBytes, &physAddr, GFP_KERNEL); | if (virtAddr == NULL) { | printk(KERN_ERR "Running out of memory\n"); | break; | } | | /* access DMA memory allocated */ | tmp = virtAddr; | *tmp = 0x77; | | /* free DMA memory */ | dma_free_writecombine(NULL, | numBytes, virtAddr, physAddr); | | ...sleep here... | } | | By itself, the code will run forever with no issues. However, as we | increase our bus traffic (typically using DMA) then the *tmp = 0x77 | line will eventually cause a page fault. If we add a small delay (a | few microseconds) before the *tmp = 0x77, then we don't see a page | fault, even under heavy load. A dsb() is required after modifying the PTE entries to ensure that they will always be visible. Add this dsb().

97b8f4a ocfs2: Fix orphan add in ocfs2_create_inode_in_orphan ocfs2_create_inode_in_orphan() is used by reflink to create the newly reflinked inode simultaneously in the orphan dir. This allows us to easily handle partially-reflinked files during recovery cleanup. We have a problem though - the orphan dir stringifies inode # to determine a unique name under which the orphan entry dirent can be created. Since ocfs2_create_inode_in_orphan() needs the space allocated in the orphan dir before it can allocate the inode, we currently call into the orphan code: /* * We give the orphan dir the root blkno to fake an orphan name, * and allocate enough space for our insertion. */ status = ocfs2_prepare_orphan_dir(osb, &orphan_dir, osb->root_blkno, orphan_name, &orphan_insert); Using osb->root_blkno might work fine on unindexed directories, but the orphan dir can have an index. When it has that index, the above code fails to allocate the proper index entry. Later, when we try to remove the file from the orphan dir (using the actual inode #), the reflink operation will fail. To fix this, I created a function ocfs2_alloc_orphaned_file() which uses the newly split out orphan and inode alloc code to figure out what the inode block number will be (once allocated) and then prepare the orphan dir from that data.

e49e276 ocfs2: allow return of new inode block location before allocation of the inode This allows code which needs to know the eventual block number of an inode but can't allocate it yet due to transaction or lock ordering. For example, ocfs2_create_inode_in_orphan() currently gives a junk blkno for preparation of the orphan dir because it can't yet know where the actual inode is placed - that code is actually in ocfs2_mknod_locked. This is a problem when the orphan dirs are indexed as the junk inode number will create an index entry which goes unused (and fails the later removal from the orphan dir). Now with these interfaces, ocfs2_create_inode_in_orphan() can run the block group search (and get back the inode block number) *before* any actual allocation occurs.

The old ocfs2_test_suballoc_bit gets group block no from the allocation inode which is wrong. Fix it by passing the right group.

04eda1a ocfs2: Flush drive's caches on fdatasync When 'barrier' mount option is specified, we have to issue a cache flush during fdatasync(2). We have to do this even if inode doesn't have I_DIRTY_DATASYNC set because we still have to get written *data* to disk so that they are not lost in case of crash.

f5ce5a0 ocfs2: Fix incorrect checksum validation error For local mounts, ocfs2_read_locked_inode() calls ocfs2_read_blocks_sync() to read the inode off the disk. The latter first checks to see if that block is cached in the journal, and, if so, returns that block. That is ok. But ocfs2_read_locked_inode() goes wrong when it tries to validate the checksum of such blocks. Blocks that are cached in the journal may not have had their checksum computed as yet. We should not validate the checksums of such blocks.

e950598 ima: always maintain counters commit 8262bb85da allocated the inode integrity struct (iint) before any inodes were created. Only after IMA was initialized in late_initcall were the counters updated. This patch updates the counters, whether or not IMA has been initialized, to resolve 'imbalance' messages. This patch fixes the bug as reported in bugzilla: 15673. When the i915 is builtin, the ring_buffer is initialized before IMA, causing the imbalance message on suspend.

999b4f0 AppArmor: Fix locking from removal of profile namespace The locking for profile namespace removal is wrong, when removing a profile namespace, it needs to be removed from its parent's list.

04ccd53 AppArmor: Fix splitting an fqname into separate namespace and profile names As per Dan Carpenter <error27@gmail.com> If we have a ns name without a following profile then in the original code it did "*ns_name = &name[1];". "name" is NULL so "*ns_name" is 0x1. That isn't useful and could cause an oops when this function is called from aa_remove_profiles(). Beyond this the assignment of the namespace name was wrong in the case where the profile name was provided as it was being set to &name[1] after name = skip_spaces(split + 1); Move the ns_name assignment before updating name for the split and also add skip_spaces, making the interface more robust.
