mm: compaction: prevent kswapd compacting memory to reduce CPU usage
This patch reverts 5a03b051 ("thp: use compaction in kswapd for GFP_ATOMIC
order > 0") due to reports stating that kswapd CPU usage was higher and
IRQs were being disabled more frequently. This was reported at
http://www.spinics.net/linux/fedora/alsa-user/msg09885.html.
Without this patch applied, CPU usage by kswapd hovers around the 20% mark
according to the tester (Arthur Marsh:
http://www.spinics.net/linux/fedora/alsa-user/msg09899.html). With this
patch applied, it's around 2%.
The problem is not related to THP which specifies __GFP_NO_KSWAPD but is
triggered by high-order allocations hitting the low watermark for their
order and waking kswapd on kernels with CONFIG_COMPACTION set. The most
common trigger for this is network cards configured for jumbo frames but
it's also possible it'll be triggered by fork-heavy workloads (order-1)
and some wireless cards which depend on order-1 allocations.
The symptoms for the user will be high CPU usage by kswapd in low-memory
situations which could be confused with another writeback problem. While
a patch like 5a03b051 may be reintroduced in the future, this patch plays
it safe for now and reverts it.

mm: vmap area cache
Provide a free area cache for the vmalloc virtual address allocator, based
on the algorithm used by the user virtual memory allocator.
This reduces the number of rbtree operations and linear traversals over
the vmap extents in order to find a free area, by starting off at the last
point that a free area was found.
The free area cache is reset if areas are freed behind it, or if we are
searching for a smaller area or alignment than last time. So allocation
patterns are not changed (verified by corner-case and random test cases in
userspace testing).
This solves a regression caused by lazy vunmap TLB purging introduced in db64fe02 (mm: rewrite vmap layer). That patch will leave extents in the
vmap allocator after they are vunmapped, and until a significant number
accumulate that can be flushed in a single batch. So in a workload that
vmalloc/vfree frequently, a chain of extents will build up from
VMALLOC_START address, which have to be iterated over each time (giving an
O(n) type of behaviour).
After this patch, the search will start from where it left off, giving
closer to an amortized O(1).
This is verified to solve regressions reported Steven in GFS2, and Avi in
KVM.
Hugh's update:

: your vmap area cache patch ever since May.
: I can get you addresses etc, I did dump a few out; but once I stared
: at them, it was easier just to look at the code: and I cannot see how
: you would be so sure that first->va_start < addr, once you've done
: that addr = ALIGN(max(...), align) above, if align is over 0x1000
: (align was 0x8000 or 0x4000 in the cases I hit: ioremaps like Steve).
: I originally got around it by just changing the
: if (first->va_start < addr) {
: to
: while (first->va_start < addr) {
: without thinking about it any further; but that seemed unsatisfactory,
: why would we want to loop here when we've got another very similar
: loop just below it?
: I am never going to admit how long I've spent trying to grasp your
: "while (n)" rbtree loop just above this, the one with the peculiar
: if (!first && tmp->va_start < addr + size)
: in. That's unfamiliar to me, I'm guessing it's designed to save a
: subsequent rb_next() in a few circumstances (at risk of then setting
: a wrong cached_hole_size?); but they did appear few to me, and I didn't
: feel I could sign off something with that in when I don't grasp it,
: and it seems responsible for extra code and mistaken BUG_ON below it.
: I've reverted to the familiar rbtree loop that find_vma() does (but
: with va_end >= addr as you had, to respect the additional guard page):
: and then (given that cached_hole_size starts out 0) I don't see the
: need for any complications below it. If you do want to keep that loop
: as you had it, please add a comment to explain what it's trying to do,
: and where addr is relative to first when you emerge from it.
: Aren't your tests "size <= cached_hole_size" and
: "addr + size > first->va_start" forgetting the guard page we want
: before the next area? I've changed those.
: I have not changed your many "addr + size - 1 < addr" overflow tests,
: but have since come to wonder, shouldn't they be "addr + size < addr"
: tests - won't the vend checks go wrong if addr + size is 0?
: I have added a few comments - Wolfgang Wander's 2.6.13 description of
: 1363c3cd8603a913a27e2995dccbd70d5312d8e6 Avoiding mmap fragmentation
: helped me a lot, perhaps a pointer to that would be good too. And I found
: it easier to understand when I renamed cached_start slightly and moved the
: overflow label down.
: This patch would go after your mm-vmap-area-cache.patch in mmotm.
: Trivially, nobody is going to get that BUG_ON with this patch, and it
: appears to work fine on my machines; but I have not given it anything like
: the testing you did on your original, and may have broken all the
: performance you were aiming for. Please take a look and test it out

oom: avoid deferring oom killer if exiting task is being traced
The oom killer naturally defers killing anything if it finds an eligible
task that is already exiting and has yet to detach its ->mm. This avoids
unnecessarily killing tasks when one is already in the exit path and may
free enough memory that the oom killer is no longer needed. This is
detected by PF_EXITING since threads that have already detached its ->mm
are no longer considered at all.
The problem with always deferring when a thread is PF_EXITING, however, is
that it may never actually exit when being traced, specifically if another
task is tracing it with PTRACE_O_TRACEEXIT. The oom killer does not want
to defer in this case since there is no guarantee that thread will ever
exit without intervention.
This patch will now only defer the oom killer when a thread is PF_EXITING
and no ptracer has stopped its progress in the exit path. It also ensures
that a child is sacrificed for the chosen parent only if it has a
different ->mm as the comment implies: this ensures that the thread group
leader is always targeted appropriately.

oom: prevent unnecessary oom kills or kernel panics
This patch prevents unnecessary oom kills or kernel panics by reverting
two commits:
495789a5 (oom: make oom_score to per-process value) cef1d352 (oom: multi threaded process coredump don't make deadlock)
First, 495789a5 (oom: make oom_score to per-process value) ignores the
fact that all threads in a thread group do not necessarily exit at the
same time.
It is imperative that select_bad_process() detect threads that are in the
exit path, specifically those with PF_EXITING set, to prevent needlessly
killing additional tasks. If a process is oom killed and the thread group
leader exits, select_bad_process() cannot detect the other threads that
are PF_EXITING by iterating over only processes. Thus, it currently
chooses another task unnecessarily for oom kill or panics the machine when
nothing else is eligible.
By iterating over threads instead, it is possible to detect threads that
are exiting and nominate them for oom kill so they get access to memory
reserves.
Second, cef1d352 (oom: multi threaded process coredump don't make
deadlock) erroneously avoids making the oom killer a no-op when an
eligible thread other than current isfound to be exiting. We want to
detect this situation so that we may allow that exiting thread time to
exit and free its memory; if it is able to exit on its own, that should
free memory so current is no loner oom. If it is not able to exit on its
own, the oom killer will nominate it for oom kill which, in this case,
only means it will get access to memory reserves.
Without this change, it is easy for the oom killer to unnecessarily target
tasks when all threads of a victim don't exit before the thread group
leader or, in the worst case, panic the machine.

If an administrator tries to swapon a file backed by NFS, the inode mutex is

made to close the file but with inode->i_mutex still held. Closing an NFS

tty: stop using "delayed_work" in the tty layer
Using delayed-work for tty flip buffers ends up causing us to wait for
the next tick to complete some actions. That's usually not all that
noticeable, but for certain latency-critical workloads it ends up being
totally unacceptable.
As an extreme case of this, passing a token back-and-forth over a pty
will take two ticks per iteration, so even just a thousand iterations
will take 8 seconds assuming a common 250Hz configuration.
Avoiding the whole delayed work issue brings that ping-pong test-case
down to 0.009s on my machine.
In more practical terms, this latency has been a performance problem for
things like dive computer simulators (simulating the serial interface
using the ptys) and for other environments (Alan mentions a CP/M emulator).
[net/9p]: Introduce basic flow-control for VirtIO transport.
Recent zerocopy work in the 9P VirtIO transport maps and pins
user buffers into kernel memory for the server to work on them.
Since the user process can initiate this kind of pinning with a simple
read/write call, thousands of IO threads initiated by the user process can
hog the system resources and could result into denial of service.
This patch introduces flow control to avoid that extreme scenario.
The ceiling limit to avoid denial of service attacks is set to relatively
high (nr_free_pagecache_pages()/4) so that it won't interfere with
regular usage, but can step in extreme cases to limit the total system
hang. Since we don't have a global structure to accommodate this variable,
I choose the virtio_chan as the home for this.

to req->status = REQ_STATUS_RCVD, sprious wakeups may cause the
virtqueue back on the free list for someone else to use.
This may result in kernel panic while relasing the pinned pages
in p9_release_req_pages().
Also rearranged the while loop in req_done() for better redability.

[net/9p] unconditional wake_up to proc waiting for space on VirtIO ring
Process may wait to get space on VirtIO ring to send a transaction to
VirtFS server. Current code just does a conditional wake_up() which
means only one process will be woken up even if multiple processes
are waiting.
This fix makes the wake_up unconditional. Hence we won't have any
processes waiting for-ever.

is not explained in the comments and the mut check in dev_forward_skb
retains the assumption that skb->len is the total length of the packet.
I just measured this emperically by setting up a veth pair between two
noop network namespaces setting and attempting a telnet connection between
the two. I saw three packets in each direction and the byte counters were
exactly 14*3 = 42 bytes high in each direction. I got the actual
packet lengths with tcpdump.
So remove the extra ETH_HLEN from the veth byte count totals.

net ipv6: Fix duplicate /proc/sys/net/ipv6/neigh directory entries.
When I was fixing issues with unregisgtering tables under /proc/sys/net/ipv6/neigh
by adding a mount point it appears I missed a critical ordering issue, in the
ipv6 initialization. I had not realized that ipv6_sysctl_register is called
at the very end of the ipv6 initialization and in particular after we call
neigh_sysctl_register from ndisc_init.
"neigh" needs to be initialized in ipv6_static_sysctl_register which is
the first ipv6 table to initialized, and definitely before ndisc_init.
This removes the weirdness of duplicate tables while still providing a
"neigh" mount point which prevents races in sysctl unregistering.

When the macvlan driver was extended to call unregisgter_netdevice_queue
in 23289a37e2b127dfc4de1313fba15bb4c9f0cd5b, a use after free of struct
macvlan_port was introduced. The code in dellink relied on unregister_netdevice
actually unregistering the net device so it would be safe to free macvlan_port.
Since unregister_netdevice_queue can just queue up the unregister instead of
performing the unregiser immediately we free the macvlan_port too soon and
then the code in macvlan_stop removes the macaddress for the set of macaddress
to listen for and uses memory that has already been freed.
To fix this add a reference count to track when it is safe to free the macvlan_port
and move the call of macvlan_port_destroy into macvlan_uninit which is guaranteed
to be called after the final macvlan_port_close.

Reduce sequential pointer derefs in scsi_error.c and reduce size as well
This patch reduces the number of sequential pointer derefs in
drivers/scsi/scsi_error.c
This has been submitted a number of times over a couple of years. I
believe this version adresses all comments it has gathered over time.
Please apply or reject with a reason.
The benefits are:
- makes the code easier to read. Lots of sequential derefs of the same
pointers is not easy on the eye.
- theoretically at least, just dereferencing the pointers once can
allow the compiler to generally slightly faster code, so in theory
this could also be a micro speed optimization.
- reduces size of object file (tiny effect: on x86-64, in at least one
configuration, the text size decreased from 9439 bytes to 9400)
- removes some pointless (mostly trailing) whitespace.
A serious issue with the incorrect G200eV support that reproduces on the
Matrox G200eV equipped IBM x3650 M2 is the total lack of text (login
banner, login prompt, etc) on the console when X is not running and
total lack of text on all of the virtual consoles after X is started.
Any concerns that the incorrect code (upstream since October 2008) has
been successfully used on non-IBM G200eV equipped system(s) appear to be
unwarranted. In addition to the serious/non-intermittent nature of
issues that have been spotted on IBM systems, complete removal of the
incorrect code is clearly supported by the following Matrox (Yannick
Heneault) provided input:
"It impossible that this patch should have work on a system.
The patch only declare the G200eV as a regular G200 which is
not case. Many registers are different, including at least the
PLL programming sequence. If the G200eV is programmed like a
regular G200, it will not display anything."
v1 - Initial patch that removed the incorrect code for _all_
G200eV equipped systems.
v2 - Darrick Wong provided patch that blacklisted the incorrect
code on G200eV equipped IBM systems leaving it enabled on
all G200eV equipped non-IBM systems.
v3 - Same code changes included with v1 plus additional
justification for complete removal of the incorrect code.

Prevent rt_sigqueueinfo and rt_tgsigqueueinfo from spoofing the signal code
Userland should be able to trust the pid and uid of the sender of a
signal if the si_code is SI_TKILL.
Unfortunately, the kernel has historically allowed sigqueueinfo() to
send any si_code at all (as long as it was negative - to distinguish it
from kernel-generated signals like SIGILL etc), so it could spoof a
SI_TKILL with incorrect siginfo values.
Happily, it looks like glibc has always set si_code to the appropriate
SI_QUEUE, so there are probably no actual user code that ever uses
anything but the appropriate SI_QUEUE flag.
So just tighten the check for si_code (we used to allow any negative
value), and add a (one-time) warning in case there are binaries out
there that might depend on using other si_code values.

libceph: fix osd request queuing on osdmap updates
If we send a request to osd A, and the request's pg remaps to osd B and
then back to A in quick succession, we need to resend the request to A. The
old code was only calling kick_requests after processing all incremental
maps in a message, so it was very possible to not resend a request that
needed to be resent. This would make the osd eventually time out (at least
with the current default of osd timeouts enabled).
The correct approach is to scan requests on every map incremental. This
patch refactors the kick code in a few ways:
- all requests are either on req_lru (in flight), req_unsent (ready to
send), or req_notarget (currently map to no up osd)
- mapping always done by map_request (previous map_osds)
- if the mapping changes, we requeue. requests are resent only after all
map incrementals are processed.
- some osd reset code is moved out of kick_requests into a separate
function
- the "kick this osd" functionality is moved to kick_osd_requests, as it
is unrelated to scanning for request->pg->osd mapping changes

hp_accel: Fix driver name
I suspect that the "lis3lv02d" driver name is a legacy from before
the split into several modules. Use a specific name for the hp_accel
driver, for better error messages and easier investigation of issues.

Move hp_accel to drivers/platform/x86
The hp_accel driver isn't a hardware monitoring driver, so it doesn't
belong to drivers/hwmon. Move it to drivers/platform/x86, assuming HP
doesn't ship non-x86 laptops.

Let Kconfig handle lis3lv02d dependencies
The dependencies between the various lis3lv02d drivers make it
impossible to split them to different directories, while we really
want to do this. Move handling of dependencies from Makefile to
Kconfig, to make the move possible at all.

hwmon: (sht15) Fix integer overflow in humidity calculation
An integer overflow occurs in the calculation of RHlinear when the
relative humidity is greater than around 30%. The consequence is a subtle
(but noticeable) error in the resulting humidity measurement.
