mempool: fix first round failure behavior
mempool modifies gfp_mask so that the backing allocator doesn't try too
hard or trigger warning message when there's pool to fall back on. In
addition, for the first try, it removes __GFP_WAIT and IO, so that it
doesn't trigger reclaim or wait when allocation can be fulfilled from
pool; however, when that allocation fails and pool is empty too, it waits
for the pool to be replenished before retrying.
Allocation which could have succeeded after a bit of reclaim has to wait
on the reserved items and it's not like mempool doesn't retry with
__GFP_WAIT and IO. It just does that *after* someone returns an element,
pointlessly delaying things.
Fix it by retrying immediately if the first round of allocation attempts
w/o __GFP_WAIT and IO fails.

mempool_destroy() is a thin wrapper around free_pool(). The only thing it

to enforce that all allocated elements are freed; however, the BUG_ON()

mempool: fix and document synchronization and memory barrier usage
mempool_alloc/free() use undocumented smp_mb()'s. The code is slightly
broken and misleading.
The lockless part is in mempool_free(). It wants to determine whether the
item being freed needs to be returned to the pool or backing allocator
without grabbing pool->lock. Two things need to be guaranteed for correct
operation.
1. pool->curr_nr + #allocated should never dip below pool->min_nr.
2. Waiters shouldn't be left dangling.
For #1, The only necessary condition is that curr_nr visible at free is
from after the allocation of the element being freed (details in the
comment). For most cases, this is true without any barrier but there can
be fringe cases where the allocated pointer is passed to the freeing task
without going through memory barriers. To cover this case, wmb is
necessary before returning from allocation and rmb is necessary before
reading curr_nr. IOW,
ALLOCATING TASK FREEING TASK
update pool state after alloc;
wmb();
pass pointer to freeing task;
read pointer;
rmb();
read pool state to free;
The current code doesn't have wmb after pool update during allocation and
may theoretically, on machines where unlock doesn't behave as full wmb,
lead to pool depletion and deadlock. smp_wmb() needs to be added after
successful allocation from reserved elements and smp_mb() in
mempool_free() can be replaced with smp_rmb().
For #2, the waiter needs to add itself to waitqueue and then check the
wait condition and the waker needs to update the wait condition and then
wake up. Because waitqueue operations always go through full spinlock
synchronization, there is no need for extra memory barriers.
Furthermore, mempool_alloc() is already holding pool->lock when it decides
that it needs to wait. There is no reason to do unlock - add waitqueue -
test condition again. It can simply add itself to waitqueue while holding
pool->lock and then unlock and sleep.
This patch adds smp_wmb() after successful allocation from reserved pool,
replaces smp_mb() in mempool_free() with smp_rmb() and extend pool->lock
over waitqueue addition. More importantly, it explains what memory
barriers do and how the lockless testing is correct.
-v2: Oleg pointed out that unlock doesn't imply wmb. Added explicit
smp_wmb() after successful allocation from reserved pool and
updated comments accordingly.

mremap: enforce rmap src/dst vma ordering in case of vma_merge() succeeding in copy_vma()
migrate was doing an rmap_walk with speculative lock-less access on
pagetables. That could lead it to not serializing properly against mremap
PT locks. But a second problem remains in the order of vmas in the
same_anon_vma list used by the rmap_walk.
If vma_merge succeeds in copy_vma, the src vma could be placed after the
dst vma in the same_anon_vma list. That could still lead to migrate
missing some pte.
This patch adds an anon_vma_moveto_tail() function to force the dst vma at
the end of the list before mremap starts to solve the problem.
If the mremap is very large and there are a lots of parents or childs
sharing the anon_vma root lock, this should still scale better than taking
the anon_vma root lock around every pte copy practically for the whole
duration of mremap.
Update: Hugh noticed special care is needed in the error path where
move_page_tables goes in the reverse direction, a second
anon_vma_moveto_tail() call is needed in the error path.
This program exercises the anon_vma_moveto_tail:

mm: try to distribute dirty pages fairly across zones
The maximum number of dirty pages that exist in the system at any time is
determined by a number of pages considered dirtyable and a user-configured
percentage of those, or an absolute number in bytes.
This number of dirtyable pages is the sum of memory provided by all the
zones in the system minus their lowmem reserves and high watermarks, so
that the system can retain a healthy number of free pages without having
to reclaim dirty pages.
But there is a flaw in that we have a zoned page allocator which does not
care about the global state but rather the state of individual memory
zones. And right now there is nothing that prevents one zone from filling
up with dirty pages while other zones are spared, which frequently leads
to situations where kswapd, in order to restore the watermark of free
pages, does indeed have to write pages from that zone's LRU list. This
can interfere so badly with IO from the flusher threads that major
filesystems (btrfs, xfs, ext4) mostly ignore write requests from reclaim
already, taking away the VM's only possibility to keep such a zone
balanced, aside from hoping the flushers will soon clean pages from that
zone.
Enter per-zone dirty limits. They are to a zone's dirtyable memory what
the global limit is to the global amount of dirtyable memory, and try to
make sure that no single zone receives more than its fair share of the
globally allowed dirty pages in the first place. As the number of pages
considered dirtyable excludes the zones' lowmem reserves and high
watermarks, the maximum number of dirty pages in a zone is such that the
zone can always be balanced without requiring page cleaning.
As this is a placement decision in the page allocator and pages are
dirtied only after the allocation, this patch allows allocators to pass
__GFP_WRITE when they know in advance that the page will be written to and
become dirty soon. The page allocator will then attempt to allocate from
the first zone of the zonelist - which on NUMA is determined by the task's
NUMA memory policy - that has not exceeded its dirty limit.
At first glance, it would appear that the diversion to lower zones can
increase pressure on them, but this is not the case. With a full high
zone, allocations will be diverted to lower zones eventually, so it is
more of a shift in timing of the lower zone allocations. Workloads that
previously could fit their dirty pages completely in the higher zone may
be forced to allocate from lower zones, but the amount of pages that
"spill over" are limited themselves by the lower zones' dirty constraints,
and thus unlikely to become a problem.
For now, the problem of unfair dirty page distribution remains for NUMA
configurations where the zones allowed for allocation are in sum not big
enough to trigger the global dirty limits, wake up the flusher threads and
remedy the situation. Because of this, an allocation that could not
succeed on any of the considered zones is allowed to ignore the dirty
limits before going into direct reclaim or even failing the allocation,
until a future patch changes the global dirty throttling and flusher
thread activation so that they take individual zone states into account.

Also, move the functions to determine the dirtyable memory and the

mm: exclude reserved pages from dirtyable memory
Per-zone dirty limits try to distribute page cache pages allocated for
writing across zones in proportion to the individual zone sizes, to reduce
the likelihood of reclaim having to write back individual pages from the
LRU lists in order to make progress.
This patch:
The amount of dirtyable pages should not include the full number of free
pages: there is a number of reserved pages that the page allocator and
kswapd always try to keep free.
The closer (reclaimable pages - dirty pages) is to the number of reserved
pages, the more likely it becomes for reclaim to run into dirty pages:
+----------+ ---
| anon | |
+----------+ |
| | |
| | -- dirty limit new -- flusher new
| file | | |
| | | |
| | -- dirty limit old -- flusher old
| | |
+----------+ --- reclaim
| reserved |
+----------+
| kernel |
+----------+
This patch introduces a per-zone dirty reserve that takes both the lowmem
reserve as well as the high watermark of the zone into account, and a
global sum of those per-zone values that is subtracted from the global
amount of dirtyable pages. The lowmem reserve is unavailable to page
cache allocations and kswapd tries to keep the high watermark free. We
don't want to end up in a situation where reclaim has to clean pages in
order to balance zones.
Not treating reserved pages as dirtyable on a global level is only a
conceptual fix. In reality, dirty pages are not distributed equally
across zones and reclaim runs into dirty pages on a regular basis.
But it is important to get this right before tackling the problem on a
per-zone level, where the distance between reclaim and the dirty pages is
mostly much smaller in absolute numbers.

mm: more intensive memory corruption debugging
With CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC configured, the CPU will generate an exception
on access (read,write) to an unallocated page, which permits us to catch
code which corrupts memory. However the kernel is trying to maximise
memory usage, hence there are usually few free pages in the system and
buggy code usually corrupts some crucial data.
This patch changes the buddy allocator to keep more free/protected pages
and to interlace free/protected and allocated pages to increase the
probability of catching corruption.
When the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC,
debug_guardpage_minorder defines the minimum order used by the page
allocator to grant a request. The requested size will be returned with
the remaining pages used as guard pages.
The default value of debug_guardpage_minorder is zero: no change from
current behaviour.

mm: avoid livelock on !__GFP_FS allocations
Colin Cross reported;
Under the following conditions, __alloc_pages_slowpath can loop forever:
gfp_mask & __GFP_WAIT is true
gfp_mask & __GFP_FS is false
reclaim and compaction make no progress
order <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER
These conditions happen very often during suspend and resume,
when pm_restrict_gfp_mask() effectively converts all GFP_KERNEL
allocations into __GFP_WAIT.
The oom killer is not run because gfp_mask & __GFP_FS is false,
but should_alloc_retry will always return true when order is less
than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER.
In his fix, he avoided retrying the allocation if reclaim made no progress
and __GFP_FS was not set. The problem is that this would result in
GFP_NOIO allocations failing that previously succeeded which would be very
unfortunate.
The big difference between GFP_NOIO and suspend converting GFP_KERNEL to
behave like GFP_NOIO is that normally flushers will be cleaning pages and
kswapd reclaims pages allowing GFP_NOIO to succeed after a short delay.
The same does not necessarily apply during suspend as the storage device
may be suspended.
This patch special cases the suspend case to fail the page allocation if
reclaim cannot make progress and adds some documentation on how
gfp_allowed_mask is currently used. Failing allocations like this may
cause suspend to abort but that is better than a livelock.

Commit
645747462435 ("vmscan: detect mapped file pages used only once")
greatly decreases lifetime of single-used mapped file pages.
Unfortunately it also decreases life time of all shared mapped file
pages. Because after commit
bf3f3bc5e7347 ("mm: don't mark_page_accessed

referenced.
Thus page_check_references() activates file page only if it was used twice

first access. Inactive list can be small enough, this way reclaimer can
accidentally throw away any widely used page if it wasn't used twice in
short period.
After this patch page_check_references() also activate file mapped page at
first inactive list scan if this page is already used multiple times via
several ptes.
I found this while trying to fix degragation in rhel6 (~2.6.32) from rhel5
(~2.6.18). There a complete mess with >100 web/mail/spam/ftp containers,
they share all their files but there a lot of anonymous pages: ~500mb
shared file mapped memory and 15-20Gb non-shared anonymous memory. In
this situation major-pagefaults are very costly, because all containers
share the same page. In my load kernel created a disproportionate
pressure on the file memory, compared with the anonymous, they equaled
only if I raise swappiness up to 150 =)
These patches actually wasn't helped a lot in my problem, but I saw
noticable (10-20 times) reduce in count and average time of
major-pagefault in file-mapped areas.
Actually both patches are fixes for commit
v2.6.33-5448-g6457474, because
it was aimed at one scenario (singly used pages), but it breaks the logic
in other scenarios (shared and/or executable pages)

mm/page-writeback.c: make determine_dirtyable_memory static again
The tracing ring-buffer used this function briefly, but not anymore.
Make it local to the writeback code again.
Also, move the function so that no forward declaration needs to be
reintroduced.

md/raid1: perform bad-block tests for WriteMostly devices too.
We normally try to avoid reading from write-mostly devices, but when
we do we really have to check for bad blocks and be sure not to
try reading them.
With the current code, best_good_sectors might not get set and that
causes zero-length read requests to be send down which is very
confusing.
This bug was introduced in commit
d2eb35acfdccbe2 and so the patch
is suitable for 3.1.x and 3.2.x

We currently only 'notify' changes to the 'degraded' attribute

Notifying on failure is a little awkward as it happen in

So instead, notify when we remove the failed device from the array,
which is very soon afterwards.

For caches with debugging enabled, "slub: Switch per cpu partial page

fix shrink_dcache_parent() livelock
Two (or more) concurrent calls of shrink_dcache_parent() on the same dentry may
cause shrink_dcache_parent() to loop forever.
Here's what appears to happen:
1 - CPU0: select_parent(P) finds C and puts it on dispose list, returns 1
2 - CPU1: select_parent(P) locks P->d_lock
3 - CPU0: shrink_dentry_list() locks C->d_lock
dentry_kill(C) tries to lock P->d_lock but fails, unlocks C->d_lock
4 - CPU1: select_parent(P) locks C->d_lock,
moves C from dispose list being processed on CPU0 to the new
dispose list, returns 1
5 - CPU0: shrink_dentry_list() finds dispose list empty, returns
6 - Goto 2 with CPU0 and CPU1 switched
Basically select_parent() steals the dentry from shrink_dentry_list() and thinks
it found a new one, causing shrink_dentry_list() to think it's making progress
and loop over and over.
One way to trigger this is to make udev calls stat() on the sysfs file while it
is going away.
Having a file in /lib/udev/rules.d/ with only this one rule seems to the trick:
ATTR{vendor}=="0x8086", ATTR{device}=="0x10ca", ENV{PCI_SLOT_NAME}="%k", ENV{MATCHADDR}="$attr{address}", RUN+="/bin/true"
Then execute the following loop:
while true; do
echo -bond0 > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters
echo +bond0 > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters
echo -bond1 > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters
echo +bond1 > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters
done
One fix would be to check all callers and prevent concurrent calls to
shrink_dcache_parent(). But I think a better solution is to stop the
stealing behavior.
This patch adds a new dentry flag that is set when the dentry is added to the
dispose list. The flag is cleared in dentry_lru_del() in case the dentry gets a
new reference just before being pruned.
If the dentry has this flag, select_parent() will skip it and let
shrink_dentry_list() retry pruning it. With select_parent() skipping those
dentries there will not be the appearance of progress (new dentries found) when
there is none, hence shrink_dcache_parent() will not loop forever.
Set the flag is also set in prune_dcache_sb() for consistency as suggested by
Linus.

ext4: fix undefined behavior in ext4_fill_flex_info()
Commit
503358ae01b70ce6909d19dd01287093f6b6271c ("ext4: avoid divide by
zero when trying to mount a corrupted file system") fixes CVE-2009-4307
by performing a sanity check on s_log_groups_per_flex, since it can be
set to a bogus value by an attacker.
sbi->s_log_groups_per_flex = sbi->s_es->s_log_groups_per_flex;
groups_per_flex = 1 << sbi->s_log_groups_per_flex;
if (groups_per_flex < 2) { ... }
This patch fixes two potential issues in the previous commit.
1) The sanity check might only work on architectures like PowerPC.
On x86, 5 bits are used for the shifting amount. That means, given a
large s_log_groups_per_flex value like 36, groups_per_flex = 1 << 36
is essentially 1 << 4 = 16, rather than 0. This will bypass the check,
leaving s_log_groups_per_flex and groups_per_flex inconsistent.
2) The sanity check relies on undefined behavior, i.e., oversized shift.
A standard-confirming C compiler could rewrite the check in unexpected
ways. Consider the following equivalent form, assuming groups_per_flex
is unsigned for simplicity.
groups_per_flex = 1 << sbi->s_log_groups_per_flex;
if (groups_per_flex == 0 || groups_per_flex == 1) {
We compile the code snippet using Clang 3.0 and GCC 4.6. Clang will
completely optimize away the check groups_per_flex == 0, leaving the
patched code as vulnerable as the original. GCC keeps the check, but
there is no guarantee that future versions will do the same.

securityfs: fix object creation races
inode needs to be fully set up before we feed it to d_instantiate().
securityfs_create_file() does *not* do so; it sets ->i_fop and
->i_private only after we'd exposed the inode. Unfortunately,
that's done fairly deep in call chain, so the amount of churn
is considerable. Helper functions killed by substituting into
their solitary call sites, dead code removed. We finally can
bury default_file_ops, now that the final value of ->i_fop is

dcache: use a dispose list in select_parent
select_parent currently abuses the dentry cache LRU to provide
cleanup features for child dentries that need to be freed. It moves
them to the tail of the LRU, then tells shrink_dcache_parent() to
calls __shrink_dcache_sb to unconditionally move them to a dispose
list (as DCACHE_REFERENCED is ignored). __shrink_dcache_sb() has to
relock the dentries to move them off the LRU onto the dispose list,
but otherwise does not touch the dentries that select_parent() moved
to the tail of the LRU. It then passses the dispose list to
shrink_dentry_list() which tries to free the dentries.
IOWs, the use of __shrink_dcache_sb() is superfluous - we can build
exactly the same list of dentries for disposal directly in
select_parent() and call shrink_dentry_list() instead of calling
__shrink_dcache_sb() to do that. This means that we avoid long holds
on the lru lock walking the LRU moving dentries to the dispose list
We also avoid the need to relock each dentry just to move it off the
LRU, reducing the numebr of times we lock each dentry to dispose of
them in shrink_dcache_parent() from 3 to 2 times.
Further, we remove one of the two callers of __shrink_dcache_sb().
This also means that __shrink_dcache_sb can be moved into back into
prune_dcache_sb() and we no longer have to handle referenced
dentries conditionally, simplifying the code.

timer changes for msm
A very simple series. We used to have more churn in the timer
area, so this is kept separate. Will probably put this into the
drivers series next time.
