fc3501d mm: fix dirty_bytes/dirty_background_bytes sysctls on 64bit arches We need to pass an unsigned long as the minimum, because it gets casted to an unsigned long in the sysctl handler. If we pass an int, we'll access four more bytes on 64bit arches, resulting in a random minimum value.

17c9d12 Do not account for hugetlbfs quota at mmap() time if mapping [SHM|MAP]_NORESERVE Commit 5a6fe125950676015f5108fb71b2a67441755003 brought hugetlbfs more in line with the core VM by obeying VM_NORESERVE and not reserving hugepages for both shared and private mappings when [SHM|MAP]_NORESERVE are specified. However, it is still taking filesystem quota unconditionally. At fault time, if there are no reserves and attempt is made to allocate the page and account for filesystem quota. If either fail, the fault fails. The impact is that quota is getting accounted for twice. This patch partially reverts 5a6fe125950676015f5108fb71b2a67441755003.

06eb23b ptrace, x86: fix the usage of ptrace_fork() I noticed by pure accident we have ptrace_fork() and friends. This was added by "x86, bts: add fork and exit handling", commit bf53de907dfdaac178c92d774aae7370d7b97d20. I can't test this, ds_request_bts() returns -EOPNOTSUPP, but I strongly believe this needs the fix. I think something like this program int main(void) { int pid = fork(); if (!pid) { ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0, NULL, NULL); kill(getpid(), SIGSTOP); fork(); } else { struct ptrace_bts_config bts = { .flags = PTRACE_BTS_O_ALLOC, .size = 4 * 4096, }; wait(NULL); ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, NULL, PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK); ptrace(PTRACE_BTS_CONFIG, pid, &bts, sizeof(bts)); ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, NULL, NULL); sleep(1); } return 0; } should crash the kernel. If the task is traced by its natural parent ptrace_reparented() returns 0 but we should clear ->btsxxx anyway.

5a6fe12 Do not account for the address space used by hugetlbfs using VM_ACCOUNT When overcommit is disabled, the core VM accounts for pages used by anonymous shared, private mappings and special mappings. It keeps track of VMAs that should be accounted for with VM_ACCOUNT and VMAs that never had a reserve with VM_NORESERVE. Overcommit for hugetlbfs is much riskier than overcommit for base pages due to contiguity requirements. It avoids overcommiting on both shared and private mappings using reservation counters that are checked and updated during mmap(). This ensures (within limits) that hugepages exist in the future when faults occurs or it is too easy to applications to be SIGKILLed. As hugetlbfs makes its own reservations of a different unit to the base page size, VM_ACCOUNT should never be set. Even if the units were correct, we would double account for the usage in the core VM and hugetlbfs. VM_NORESERVE may be set because an application can request no reserves be made for hugetlbfs at the risk of getting killed later. With commit fc8744adc870a8d4366908221508bb113d8b72ee, VM_NORESERVE and VM_ACCOUNT are getting unconditionally set for hugetlbfs-backed mappings. This breaks the accounting for both the core VM and hugetlbfs, can trigger an OOM storm when hugepage pools are too small lockups and corrupted counters otherwise are used. This patch brings hugetlbfs more in line with how the core VM treats VM_NORESERVE but prevents VM_ACCOUNT being set.

The way I initially implemented it, we would fail with -ENXIO when trying to mmap it, thus exposing to X that we do support the API but there is no legacy memory. Unfortunately, X poor error handling is causing it to fail to start when it gets this error.

d315760 x86: fix math_emu register frame access do_device_not_available() is the handler for #NM and it declares that it takes a unsigned long and calls math_emu(), which takes a long argument and surprisingly expects the stack frame starting at the zero argument would match struct math_emu_info, which isn't true regardless of configuration in the current code. This patch makes do_device_not_available() take struct pt_regs like other exception handlers and initialize struct math_emu_info with pointer to it and pass pointer to the math_emu_info to math_emulate() like normal C functions do. This way, unless gcc makes a copy of struct pt_regs in do_device_not_available(), the register frame is correctly accessed regardless of kernel configuration or compiler used. This doesn't fix all math_emu problems but it at least gets it somewhat working. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> 09 February 2009, 23:39:14 UTC

284b066 Btrfs: don't use spin_is_contended Btrfs was using spin_is_contended to see if it should drop locks before doing extent allocations during btrfs_search_slot. The idea was to avoid expensive searches in the tree unless the lock was actually contended. But, spin_is_contended is specific to the ticket spinlocks on x86, so this is causing compile errors everywhere else. In practice, the contention could easily appear some time after we started doing the extent allocation, and it makes more sense to always drop the lock instead.

9d9b87c lockd: fix regression in lockd's handling of blocked locks If a client requests a blocking lock, is denied, then requests it again, then here in nlmsvc_lock() we will call vfs_lock_file() without FL_SLEEP set, because we've already queued a block and don't need the locks code to do it again. But that means vfs_lock_file() will return -EAGAIN instead of FILE_LOCK_DENIED. So we still need to translate that -EAGAIN return into a nlm_lck_blocked error in this case, and put ourselves back on lockd's block list.

55a8ba4 x86, vmi: put a missing paravirt_release_pmd in pgd_dtor Commit 6194ba6ff6ccf8d5c54c857600843c67aa82c407 ("x86: don't special-case pmd allocations as much") made changes to the way we handle pmd allocations, and while doing that it dropped a call to paravirt_release_pd on the pgd page from the pgd_dtor code path. As a result of this missing release, the hypervisor is now unaware of the pgd page being freed, and as a result it ends up tracking this page as a page table page. After this the guest may start using the same page for other purposes, and depending on what use the page is put to, it may result in various performance and/or functional issues ( hangs, reboots). Since this release is only required for VMI, I now release the pgd page from the (vmi)_pgd_free hook.

aeb3987 sparc64: Fix probe_kernel_{read,write}(). This is based upon a report from Chris Torek and his initial patch. From Chris's report: -------------------- This came up in testing kgdb, using the built-in tests -- turn on CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS, then echo V1 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts -- but it would affect using kgdb if you were debugging and looking at bad pointers. -------------------- When we get a copy_{from,to}_user() request and the %asi is set to something other than ASI_AIUS (which is userspace) then we branch off to a routine called memcpy_user_stub(). It just does a straight memcpy since we are copying from kernel to kernel in this case. The logic was that since source and destination are both kernel pointers we don't need to have exception checks. But for what probe_kernel_{read,write}() is trying to do, we have to have the checks, otherwise things like kgdb bad kernel pointer accesses don't do the right thing. Signed-off-by: David S.

40bdac7 sparc64: Kill .fixup section bloat. This is an implementation of a suggestion made by Chris Torek: -------------------- Something else I noticed in passing: the EX and EX_LD/EX_ST macros scattered throughout the various .S files make a fair bit of .fixup code, all of which does the same thing. At the cost of one symbol in copy_in_user.S, you could just have one common two-instruction retl-and-mov-1 fixup that they all share. -------------------- The following is with a defconfig build: text data bss dec hex filename 3972767 344024 584449 4901240 4ac978 vmlinux.orig 3968887 344024 584449 4897360 4aba50 vmlinux Signed-off-by: David S.

cfbf84f tun: Fix unicast filter overflow Tap devices can make use of a small MAC filter set via the TUNSETTXFILTER ioctl. The filter has a set of exact matches plus a hash for imperfect filtering of additional multicast addresses. The current code is unbalanced, adding unicast addresses to the multicast hash, but only checking the hash against multicast addresses. This results in the filter dropping unicast addresses that overflow the exact filter. The fix is simply to disable the filter by leaving count set to zero if we find non-multicast addresses after the exact match table is filled.
