mm: check if PTE is already allocated during page fault
With transparent hugepage support, handle_mm_fault() has to be careful
that a normal PMD has been established before handling a PTE fault. To
achieve this, it used __pte_alloc() directly instead of pte_alloc_map as
pte_alloc_map is unsafe to run against a huge PMD. pte_offset_map() is
called once it is known the PMD is safe.
pte_alloc_map() is smart enough to check if a PTE is already present
before calling __pte_alloc but this check was lost. As a consequence,
PTEs may be allocated unnecessarily and the page table lock taken. Thi
useless PTE does get cleaned up but it's a performance hit which is
visible in page_test from aim9.
This patch simply re-adds the check normally done by pte_alloc_map to
check if the PTE needs to be allocated before taking the page table lock.
The effect is noticable in page_test from aim9.
(While this affects 2.6.38, it is a performance rather than a functional
bug and normally outside the rules -stable. While the big performance
differences are to a microbench, the difference in fork and exec
performance may be significant enough that -stable wants to consider the
patch)

memcg: update documentation to describe usage_in_bytes
Since 569b846d ("memcg: coalesce uncharge during unmap/truncate"), we do
batched (delayed) uncharge at truncation/unmap. And since cdec2e42(memcg:
coalesce charging via percpu storage), we have percpu cache for
res_counter.
These changes improved performance of memory cgroup very much, but made
res_counter->usage usually have a bigger value than the actual value of
memory usage. So, *.usage_in_bytes, which show res_counter->usage, are
not desirable for precise values of memory(and swap) usage anymore.
Instead of removing these files completely(because we cannot know
res_counter->usage without them), this patch updates the meaning of those
files.

mm: thp: fix /dev/zero MAP_PRIVATE and vm_flags cleanups
The huge_memory.c THP page fault was allowed to run if vm_ops was null
(which would succeed for /dev/zero MAP_PRIVATE, as the f_op->mmap wouldn't
setup a special vma->vm_ops and it would fallback to regular anonymous
memory) but other THP logics weren't fully activated for vmas with vm_file
not NULL (/dev/zero has a not NULL vma->vm_file).
So this removes the vm_file checks so that /dev/zero also can safely use
THP (the other albeit safer approach to fix this bug would have been to
prevent the THP initial page fault to run if vm_file was set).
After removing the vm_file checks, this also makes huge_memory.c stricter
in khugepaged for the DEBUG_VM=y case. It doesn't replace the vm_file
check with a is_pfn_mapping check (but it keeps checking for VM_PFNMAP
under VM_BUG_ON) because for a is_cow_mapping() mapping VM_PFNMAP should
only be allowed to exist before the first page fault, and in turn when
vma->anon_vma is null (so preventing khugepaged registration). So I tend
to think the previous comment saying if vm_file was set, VM_PFNMAP might
have been set and we could still be registered in khugepaged (despite
anon_vma was not NULL to be registered in khugepaged) was too paranoid.
The is_linear_pfn_mapping check is also I think superfluous (as described
by comment) but under DEBUG_VM it is safe to stay.

There is at least one BIOS with a DSDT containing a power resource

consequence, while registering that power resource
acpi_bus_get_power_flags() sees that it depends on itself and tries
to register it again, which leads to an infinitely deep recurrence.

To fix this problem use the observation that power resources cannot
be power manageable and prevent acpi_bus_get_power_flags() from
being called for power resource objects.

PM / Wakeup: Fix initialization of wakeup-related device sysfs files
It turns out that some PCI devices are only found to be
wakeup-capable during registration, in which case, when
device_set_wakeup_capable() is called, device_is_registered() already
returns 'true' for the given device, but dpm_sysfs_add() hasn't been
called for it yet. This leads to situations in which the device's
power.can_wakeup flag is not set as requested because of failing
wakeup_sysfs_add() and its wakeup-related sysfs files are not
created, although they should be present. This is a post-2.6.38
regression introduced by commit cb8f51bdadb7969139c2e39c2defd4cde98c1
(PM: Do not create wakeup sysfs files for devices that cannot wake
up).
To work around this problem initialize the device's power.entry
field to an empty list head and make device_set_wakeup_capable()
check if it is still empty before attempting to add the devices
wakeup-related sysfs files with wakeup_sysfs_add(). Namely, if
power.entry is still empty at this point, device_pm_add() hasn't been
called yet for the device and its wakeup-related files will be
created later, so device_set_wakeup_capable() doesn't have to create
them.

If an error is encountered while reading the metadata in lookup(), the

setattr(). The metadata is already being read in those paths, so this

btrfs: fix wrong allocating flag when reading page
the space cache use extent_readpages() to read free space information,
so we can not use GFP_KERNEL flag to allocate memory, or it may lead
to deadlock.
For any given lower inode, eCryptfs keeps only one lower file open and
multiplexes all eCryptfs file operations through that lower file. The
lower file was considered "persistent" and stayed open from the first
lookup through the lifetime of the inode.
This patch keeps the notion of a single, per-inode lower file, but adds
reference counting around the lower file so that it is closed when not
currently in use. If the reference count is at 0 when an operation (such
as open, create, etc.) needs to use the lower file, a new lower file is
opened. Since the file is no longer persistent, all references to the
term persistent file are changed to lower file.
Locking is added around the sections of code that opens the lower file
and assign the pointer in the inode info, as well as the code the fputs
the lower file when all eCryptfs users are done with it.
This patch is needed to fix issues, when mounted on top of the NFSv3
client, where the lower file is left silly renamed until the eCryptfs
inode is destroyed.
Call dput on the dentries previously returned by dget_parent() in
ecryptfs_rename(). This is needed for supported eCryptfs mounts on top
of the NFSv3 client.
vfs_rmdir() already calls d_delete() on the lower dentry. That was being
duplicated in ecryptfs_rmdir() and caused a NULL pointer dereference
when NFSv3 was the lower filesystem.

kconfig: Avoid buffer underrun in choice input
Commit 40aee729b350 ('kconfig: fix default value for choice input')
fixed some cases where kconfig would select the wrong option from a
choice with a single valid option and thus enter an infinite loop.
However, this broke the test for user input of the form 'N?', because
when kconfig selects the single valid option the input is zero-length
and the test will read the byte before the input buffer. If this
happens to contain '?' (as it will in a mips build on Debian unstable
today) then kconfig again enters an infinite loop.
The dentry hashing rules have been really quite complicated for a long
while, in odd ways. That made functions like __d_drop() very fragile
and non-obvious.
In particular, whether a dentry was hashed or not was indicated with an
explicit DCACHE_UNHASHED bit. That's despite the fact that the hash
abstraction that the dentries use actually have a 'is this entry hashed
or not' model (which is a simple test of the 'pprev' pointer).
The reason that was done is because we used the normal 'is this entry
unhashed' model to mark whether the dentry had _ever_ been hashed in the
dentry hash tables, and that logic goes back many years (commit b3423415fbc2: "dcache: avoid RCU for never-hashed dentries").
That, in turn, meant that __d_drop had totally different unhashing logic
for the dentry hash table case and for the anonymous dcache case,
because in order to use the "is this dentry hashed" logic as a flag for
whether it had ever been on the RCU hash table, we had to unhash such a
dentry differently so that we'd never think that it wasn't 'unhashed'
and wouldn't be free'd correctly.
That's just insane. It made the logic really hard to follow, when there
were two different kinds of "unhashed" states, and one of them (the one
that used "list_bl_unhashed()") really had nothing at all to do with
being unhashed per se, but with a very subtle lifetime rule instead.
So turn all of it around, and make it logical.
Instead of having a DENTRY_UNHASHED bit in d_flags to indicate whether
the dentry is on the hash chains or not, use the hash chain unhashed
logic for that. Suddenly "d_unhashed()" just uses "list_bl_unhashed()",
and everything makes sense.
And for the lifetime rule, just use an explicit DENTRY_RCUACCEES bit.
If we ever insert the dentry into the dentry hash table so that it is
visible to RCU lookup, we mark it DENTRY_RCUACCESS to show that it now
needs the RCU lifetime rules. Now suddently that test at dentry free
time makes sense too.
And because unhashing now is sane and doesn't depend on where the dentry
got unhashed from (because the dentry hash chain details doesn't have
some subtle side effects), we can re-unify the __d_drop() logic and use
common code for the unhashing.
Also fix one more open-coded hash chain bit_spin_lock() that I missed in
the previous chain locking cleanup commit.

help anything - quite the reverse. All the users end up having to know
about the hlist_bl_head details anyway, using 'struct hlist_bl_node *'
etc. So it just makes the code look confusing.
And the cost of it is extra '&b->head' syntactic noise, but more
importantly it spuriously makes the hash table dentry list look
different from the per-superblock DCACHE_DISCONNECTED dentry list.
As a result, the code ended up using ad-hoc locking for one case and
special helper functions for what is really another totally identical
case in the very same function.

[PARISC] slub: fix panic with DISCONTIGMEM
Slub makes assumptions about page_to_nid() which are violated by
DISCONTIGMEM and !NUMA. This violation results in a panic because
page_to_nid() can be non-zero for pages in the discontiguous ranges and
this leads to a null return by get_node(). The assertion by the
maintainer is that DISCONTIGMEM should only be allowed when NUMA is also
defined. However, at least six architectures: alpha, ia64, m32r, m68k,
mips, parisc violate this. The panic is a regression against slab, so
just mark slub broken in the problem configuration to prevent users
reporting these panics.

x86, perf event: Turn off unstructured raw event access to offcore registers
Andi Kleen pointed out that the Intel offcore support patches were merged
without user-space tool support to the functionality:
|
| The offcore_msr perf kernel code was merged into 2.6.39-rc*, but the
| user space bits were not. This made it impossible to set the extra mask
| and actually do the OFFCORE profiling
|
Andi submitted a preliminary patch for user-space support, as an
extension to perf's raw event syntax:
|
| Some raw events -- like the Intel OFFCORE events -- support additional
| parameters. These can be appended after a ':'.
|
| For example on a multi socket Intel Nehalem:
|
| perf stat -e r1b7:20ff -a sleep 1
|
| Profile the OFFCORE_RESPONSE.ANY_REQUEST with event mask REMOTE_DRAM_0
| that measures any access to DRAM on another socket.
|
But this kind of usability is absolutely unacceptable - users should not
be expected to type in magic, CPU and model specific incantations to get
access to useful hardware functionality.
The proper solution is to expose useful offcore functionality via
generalized events - that way users do not have to care which specific
CPU model they are using, they can use the conceptual event and not some
model specific quirky hexa number.
We already have such generalization in place for CPU cache events,
and it's all very extensible.
"Offcore" events measure general DRAM access patters along various
parameters. They are particularly useful in NUMA systems.
We want to support them via generalized DRAM events: either as the
fourth level of cache (after the last-level cache), or as a separate
generalization category.
That way user-space support would be very obvious, memory access
profiling could be done via self-explanatory commands like:
perf record -e dram ./myapp
perf record -e dram-remote ./myapp
... to measure DRAM accesses or more expensive cross-node NUMA DRAM
accesses.
These generalized events would work on all CPUs and architectures that
have comparable PMU features.
( Note, these are just examples: actual implementation could have more
sophistication and more parameter - as long as they center around
similarly simple usecases. )
Now we do not want to revert *all* of the current offcore bits, as they
are still somewhat useful for generic last-level-cache events, implemented
in this commit:
e994d7d23a0b: perf: Fix LLC-* events on Intel Nehalem/Westmere
But we definitely do not yet want to expose the unstructured raw events
to user-space, until better generalization and usability is implemented
for these hardware event features.
( Note: after generalization has been implemented raw offcore events can be
supported as well: there can always be an odd event that is marginally
useful but not useful enough to generalize. DRAM profiling is definitely
*not* such a category so generalization must be done first. )
Furthermore, PERF_TYPE_RAW access to these registers was not intended
to go upstream without proper support - it was a side-effect of the above e994d7d23a0b commit, not mentioned in the changelog.
As v2.6.39 is nearing release we go for the simplest approach: disable
the PERF_TYPE_RAW offcore hack for now, before it escapes into a released
kernel and becomes an ABI.
Once proper structure is implemented for these hardware events and users
are offered usable solutions we can revisit this issue.

ide: unexport DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE for ide-gd and ide-cd
check_events() implementations in both ide-gd and ide-cd are
inadequate for in-kernel event polling. Both generate media change
events continuously when certain conditions are met causing infinite
event loop between the driver and userland event handler.
As disk event now supports suppression of unlisted events, simply
de-listing DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE from disk->events resolves the
problem. Internal handling around media revalidation will behave the
same while userland will fall back to userland event polling after
detecting the device doesn't support disk events.
block: don't propagate unlisted DISK_EVENTs to userland
DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE is used for both userland visible event and
internal event for revalidation of removeable devices. Some legacy
drivers don't implement proper event detection and continuously
generate events under certain circumstances. For example, ide-cd
generates media changed continuously if there's no media in the drive,
which can lead to infinite loop of events jumping back and forth
between the driver and userland event handler.
This patch updates disk event infrastructure such that it never
propagates events not listed in disk->events to userland. Those
events are processed the same for internal purposes but uevent
generation is suppressed.
This also ensures that userland only gets events which are advertised
in the @events sysfs node lowering risk of confusion.
elevator: check for ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT_MERGE in !elvpriv case too
The sort insert is the one that goes to the IO scheduler. With
the SORT_MERGE addition, we could bypass IO scheduler setup
but still ask the IO scheduler to insert the request. This would
cause an oops on switching IO schedulers through the sysfs
interface, unless the disk just happened to be idle while it
occured.

intel_iommu: disable all VT-d PMRs when TXT launched
Intel VT-d Protected Memory Regions (PMRs) are supposed to be disabled,
on each VT-d engine, after DMA remapping is enabled on the engines.
This is because the behavior of having both enabled is not deterministic
and because, if TXT has been used to launch the kernel, the PMRs may be
programmed to cover memory regions that will be used for DMA.
Under some circumstances (certain quirks detected, lack of multiple
devices, etc.), the current code does not set up DMA remapping on some
VT-d engines. In such cases it also skips disabling the PMRs. This
causes failures when the kernel is launched with TXT (most often this
occurs on the graphics engine and results in colored vertical bars on
the display).
This patch detects when the kernel has been launched with TXT and then
disables the PMRs on all VT-d engines. In some cases where the reason
that remapping is not being enabled is due to possible ACPI DMAR table
errors, the VT-d engine addresses may not be correct and thus not able
to be safely programmed even to disable PMRs. Because part of the TXT
launch process is the verification of these addresses, it will always be
safe to disable PMRs if the TXT launch has succeeded and hence only
doing this in such cases.

This patch fixes the following symptoms:
1. Unmount UBIFS cleanly.
2. Start mounting UBIFS R/W and have a power cut immediately
3. Start mounting UBIFS R/O, this succeeds
4. Try to re-mount UBIFS R/W - this fails immediately or later on,
because UBIFS will write the master node to the flash area
which has been written before.
The analysis of the problem:
1. UBIFS is unmounted cleanly, both copies of the master node are clean.
2. UBIFS is being mounter R/W, starts changing master node copy 1, and
a power cut happens. The copy N1 becomes corrupted.
3. UBIFS is being mounted R/O. It notices the copy N1 is corrupted and
reads copy N2. Copy N2 is clean.
4. Because of R/O mode, UBIFS cannot recover copy 1.
5. The mount code (ubifs_mount()) sees that the master node is clean,
so it decides that no recovery is needed.
6. We are re-mounting R/W. UBIFS believes no recovery is needed and
starts updating the master node, but copy N1 is still corrupted
and was not recovered!
Fix this problem by marking the master node as dirty every time we
recover it and we are in R/O mode. This forces further recovery and
the UBIFS cleans-up the corruptions and recovers the copy N1 when
re-mounting R/W later.
UBIFS: fix false assertion warning in case of I/O failures
When UBIFS switches to R/O mode because it detects I/O failures, then
when we unmount, we still may have allocated budget, and the assertions
which verify that we have not budget will fire. But it is expected to
have the budget in case of I/O failures, so the assertion warnings will
be false. Suppress them for the I/O failure case.
