60348802e9 fork.c: cleanup for copy_sighand()
Check CLONE_SIGHAND only is enough, because combination of CLONE_THREAD and
CLONE_SIGHAND is already done in copy_process().

Impact: cleanup, no functionality changed

bca1033b09 do_mounts: add device info to mount message
In the past, I used the root=...  command line parameter to specify the
root filesystem to the kernel.  Now it seems that specifying it is not
necessary.  The kernel detects the root filesystem even if the kernel
command line is empty.  My root fs is on a raid1 device by the way, and I
am not using initrd for the boot process.

If the kernel detects the root filesystem somehow, I think it should print
out the result of this detection, otherwise I will not know which device
has the root filesystem.  Or is there an easy way to get this information
on a running system?  I had a quick look at the /proc and /sys
filesystems, but haven't found anything useful there.

b61312d353 oops handling: ensure that any oops is flushed to the mtdoops console
This used to work unpatched with older kernels, during the development
phase of mtdoops.  Before commit e3e8a75d2a
a space was printed with console_loglevel set to 15, which probably
flushed the oops message as a side effect.

This is another patch from the Nokia N810 kernel.

f41ced8f10 Check fops_get() return value
Several subsystem open handlers dereference the fops_get() return value
without checking it for nullness.  This opens a race condition between the
open handler and module unloading.

A module can be marked as being unloaded (MODULE_STATE_GOING) before its
exit function is called and gets the chance to unregister the driver.
During that window open handlers can still be called, and fops_get() will
fail in try_module_get() and return a NULL pointer.

This change checks the fops_get() return value and returns -ENODEV if NULL.

Both are permissible, but the kernel consistently uses `static inline' and

73ce02e96f mm: stop kswapd's infinite loop at high order allocation
Wassim Dagash reported following kswapd infinite loop problem.

  kswapd runs in some infinite loop trying to swap until order 10 of zone
  highmem is OK.... kswapd will continue to try to balance order 10 of zone
  highmem forever (or until someone release a very large chunk of highmem).

For non order-0 allocations, the system may never be balanced due to
fragmentation but kswapd should not infinitely loop as a result.

Instead, recheck all watermarks at order-0 as they are the most important.
If watermarks are ok, kswapd will go back to sleep.

When dup_mmap() ooms we can end up with mm->mmap == NULL.  The error
path does mmput() and unmap_vmas() gets a NULL vma which it

In exit_mmap() there is nothing to do at all for this case, we can

901608d904 mm: introduce get_mm_hiwater_xxx(), fix taskstats->hiwater_xxx accounting
xacct_add_tsk() relies on do_exit()->update_hiwater_xxx() and uses
mm->hiwater_xxx directly, this leads to 2 problems:

- taskstats_user_cmd() can call fill_pid()->xacct_add_tsk() at any
  moment before the task exits, so we should check the current values of
  rss/vm anyway.

- do_exit()->update_hiwater_xxx() calls are racy.  An exiting thread can
  be preempted right before mm->hiwater_xxx = new_val, and another thread
  can use A_LOT of memory and exit in between.  When the first thread
  resumes it can be the last thread in the thread group, in that case we
  report the wrong hiwater_xxx values which do not take A_LOT into
  account.

Introduce get_mm_hiwater_rss() and get_mm_hiwater_vm() helpers and change
xacct_add_tsk() to use them.  The first helper will also be used by
rusage->ru_maxrss accounting.

Kill do_exit()->update_hiwater_xxx() calls.  Unless we are going to
decrease rss/vm there is no point to update mm->hiwater_xxx, and nobody
can look at this mm_struct when exit_mmap() actually unmaps the memory.

67d58ac47d mm: pagecache gfp flags fix
Frustratingly, gfp_t is really divided into two classes of flags.  One are
the context dependent ones (can we sleep?  can we enter filesystem?  block
subsystem?  should we use some extra reserves, etc.).  The other ones are
the type of memory required and depend on how the algorithm is implemented
rather than the point at which the memory is allocated (highmem?  dma
memory?  etc).

Some of the functions which allocate a page and add it to page cache take
a gfp_t, but sometimes those functions or their callers aren't really
doing the right thing: when allocating pagecache page, the memory type
should be mapping_gfp_mask(mapping).  When allocating radix tree nodes,
the memory type should be kernel mapped (not highmem) memory.  The gfp_t
argument should only really be needed for context dependent options.

This patch doesn't really solve that tangle in a nice way, but it does
attempt to fix a couple of bugs.

- find_or_create_page changes its radix-tree allocation to only include
  the main context dependent flags in order so the pagecache page may be
  allocated from arbitrary types of memory without affecting the
  radix-tree.  In practice, slab allocations don't come from highmem
  anyway, and radix-tree only uses slab allocations.  So there isn't a
  practical change (unless some fs uses GFP_DMA for pages).

- grab_cache_page_nowait() is changed to allocate radix-tree nodes with
  GFP_NOFS, because it is not supposed to reenter the filesystem.  This
  bug could cause lock recursion if a filesystem is not expecting the
  function to reenter the fs (as-per documentation).

Filesystems should be careful about exactly what semantics they want and
what they get when fiddling with gfp_t masks to allocate pagecache.  One
should be as liberal as possible with the type of memory that can be used,
and same for the the context specific flags.

856bf4d717 fs: sys_sync fix
s_syncing livelock avoidance was breaking data integrity guarantee of
sys_sync, by allowing sys_sync to skip writing or waiting for superblocks
if there is a concurrent sys_sync happening.

This livelock avoidance is much less important now that we don't have the
get_super_to_sync() call after every sb that we sync.  This was replaced
by __put_super_and_need_restart.

4f5a99d64c fs: remove WB_SYNC_HOLD
Remove WB_SYNC_HOLD.  The primary motiviation is the design of my
anti-starvation code for fsync.  It requires taking an inode lock over the
sync operation, so we could run into lock ordering problems with multiple
inodes.  It is possible to take a single global lock to solve the ordering
problem, but then that would prevent a future nice implementation of "sync
multiple inodes" based on lock order via inode address.

Seems like a backward step to remove this, but actually it is busted
anyway: we can't use the inode lists for data integrity wait: an inode can
be taken off the dirty lists but still be under writeback.  In order to
satisfy data integrity semantics, we should wait for it to finish
writeback, but if we only search the dirty lists, we'll miss it.

It would be possible to have a "writeback" list, for sys_sync, I suppose.
But why complicate things by prematurely optimise?  For unmounting, we
could avoid the "livelock avoidance" code, which would be easier, but
again premature IMO.

Fixing the existing data integrity problem will come next.

48b47c561e mm: direct IO starvation improvement
Direct IO can invalidate and sync a lot of pagecache pages in the mapping.
 A 4K direct IO will actually try to sync and/or invalidate the pagecache
of the entire file, for example (which might be many GB or TB large).

Improve this by doing range syncs.  Also, memory no longer has to be
unmapped to catch the dirty bits for syncing, as dirty bits would remain
coherent due to dirty mmap accounting.

This fixes the immediate DM deadlocks when doing direct IO reads to block
device with a mounted filesystem, if only by papering over the problem
somewhat rather than addressing the fsync starvation cases.

4779280d1e mm: make get_user_pages() interruptible
The initial implementation of checking TIF_MEMDIE covers the cases of OOM
killing.  If the process has been OOM killed, the TIF_MEMDIE is set and it
return immediately.  This patch includes:

1.  add the case that the SIGKILL is sent by user processes.  The
   process can try to get_user_pages() unlimited memory even if a user
   process has sent a SIGKILL to it(maybe a monitor find the process
   exceed its memory limit and try to kill it).  In the old
   implementation, the SIGKILL won't be handled until the get_user_pages()
   returns.

2.  change the return value to be ERESTARTSYS.  It makes no sense to
   return ENOMEM if the get_user_pages returned by getting a SIGKILL
   signal.  Considering the general convention for a system call
   interrupted by a signal is ERESTARTNOSYS, so the current return value
   is consistant to that.

Lee:

An unfortunate side effect of "make-get_user_pages-interruptible" is that
it prevents a SIGKILL'd task from munlock-ing pages that it had mlocked,
resulting in freeing of mlocked pages.  Freeing of mlocked pages, in
itself, is not so bad.  We just count them now--altho' I had hoped to
remove this stat and add PG_MLOCKED to the free pages flags check.

However, consider pages in shared libraries mapped by more than one task
that a task mlocked--e.g., via mlockall().  If the task that mlocked the
pages exits via SIGKILL, these pages would be left mlocked and
unevictable.

Proposed fix:

Add another GUP flag to ignore sigkill when calling get_user_pages from
munlock()--similar to Kosaki Motohiro's 'IGNORE_VMA_PERMISSIONS flag for
the same purpose.  We are not actually allocating memory in this case,
which "make-get_user_pages-interruptible" intends to avoid.  We're just
munlocking pages that are already resident and mapped, and we're reusing
get_user_pages() to access those pages.

??  Maybe we should combine 'IGNORE_VMA_PERMISSIONS and '_IGNORE_SIGKILL
into a single flag: GUP_FLAGS_MUNLOCK ???

for their dump_stacks, almost never of interest, yet not quite
dispensible.  Correlating corruption across neighbouring entries can be
very helpful, so allow a burst of 60 reports before keeping quiet for the
remainder of that minute (or allow a steady drip of one report per
second).

2509ef26db badpage: zap print_bad_pte on swap and file
Complete zap_pte_range()'s coverage of bad pagetable entries by calling
print_bad_pte() on a pte_file in a linear vma and on a bad swap entry.
That needs free_swap_and_cache() to tell it, which will also have shown
one of those "swap_free" errors (but with much less information).

Similar checks in fork's copy_one_pte()?  No, that would be more noisy
than helpful: we'll see them when parent and child exec or exit.

Where do_nonlinear_fault() calls print_bad_pte(): omit !VM_CAN_NONLINEAR
case, that could only be a bug in sys_remap_file_pages(), not a bad pte.
VM_FAULT_OOM rather than VM_FAULT_SIGBUS?  Well, okay, that is consistent
with what happens if do_swap_page() operates a bad swap entry; but don't
we have patches to be more careful about killing when VM_FAULT_OOM?

22b31eec63 badpage: vm_normal_page use print_bad_pte
print_bad_pte() is so far being called only when zap_pte_range() finds
negative page_mapcount, or there's a fault on a pte_file where it does not
belong.  That's weak coverage when we suspect pagetable corruption.

Originally, it was called when vm_normal_page() found an invalid pfn: but
pfn_valid is expensive on some architectures and configurations, so 2.6.24
put that under CONFIG_DEBUG_VM (which doesn't help in the field), then
2.6.26 replaced it by a VM_BUG_ON (likewise).

Reinstate the print_bad_pte() in vm_normal_page(), but use a cheaper test
than pfn_valid(): memmap_init_zone() (used in bootup and hotplug) keep a
__read_mostly note of the highest_memmap_pfn, vm_normal_page() then check
pfn against that.  We could call this pfn_plausible() or pfn_sane(), but I
doubt we'll need it elsewhere: of course it's not reliable, but gives much
stronger pagetable validation on many boxes.

Also use print_bad_pte() when the pte_special bit is found outside a
VM_PFNMAP or VM_MIXEDMAP area, instead of VM_BUG_ON.

3dc147414c badpage: replace page_remove_rmap Eeek and BUG
Now that bad pages are kept out of circulation, there is no need for the
infamous page_remove_rmap() BUG() - once that page is freed, its negative
mapcount will issue a "Bad page state" message and the page won't be
freed.  Removing the BUG() allows more info, on subsequent pages, to be
gathered.

We do have more info about the page at this point than bad_page() can know
- notably, what the pmd is, which might pinpoint something like low 64kB
corruption - but page_remove_rmap() isn't given the address to find that.

In practice, there is only one call to page_remove_rmap() which has ever
reported anything, that from zap_pte_range() (usually on exit, sometimes
on munmap).  It has all the info, so remove page_remove_rmap()'s "Eeek"
message and leave it all to zap_pte_range().

mm/memory.c already has a hardly used print_bad_pte() function, showing
some of the appropriate info: extend it to show what we want for the rmap
case: pte info, page info (when there is a page) and vma info to compare.
zap_pte_range() already knows the pmd, but print_bad_pte() is easier to
use if it works that out for itself.

Some of this info is also shown in bad_page()'s "Bad page state" message.
Keep them separate, but adjust them to match each other as far as
possible.  Say "Bad page map" in print_bad_pte(), and add a TAINT_BAD_PAGE
there too.

print_bad_pte() show current->comm unconditionally (though it should get
repeated in the usually irrelevant stack trace): sorry, I misled Nick
Piggin to make it conditional on vm_mm == current->mm, but current->mm is
already NULL in the exit case.  Usually current->comm is good, though
exceptionally it may not be that of the mm (when "swapoff" for example).

8cc3b39221 badpage: keep any bad page out of circulation
Until now the bad_page() checkers have special-cased PageReserved, keeping
those pages out of circulation thereafter.  Now extend the special case to
all: we want to keep ANY page with bad state out of circulation - the
"free" page may well be in use by something.

Leave the bad state of those pages untouched, for examination by
debuggers; except for PageBuddy - leaving that set would risk bringing the
page back.

In case of error extending write may have instantiated a few blocks

a79311c14e vmscan: bail out of direct reclaim after swap_cluster_max pages
When the VM is under pressure, it can happen that several direct reclaim
processes are in the pageout code simultaneously.  It also happens that
the reclaiming processes run into mostly referenced, mapped and dirty
pages in the first round.

This results in multiple direct reclaim processes having a lower
pageout priority, which corresponds to a higher target of pages to
scan.

This in turn can result in each direct reclaim process freeing
many pages.  Together, they can end up freeing way too many pages.

This kicks useful data out of memory (in some cases more than half
of all memory is swapped out).  It also impacts performance by
keeping tasks stuck in the pageout code for too long.

A 30% improvement in hackbench has been observed with this patch.

The fix is relatively simple: in shrink_zone() we can check how many
pages we have already freed, direct reclaim tasks break out of the
scanning loop if they have already freed enough pages and have reached
a lower priority level.

We do not break out of shrink_zone() when priority == DEF_PRIORITY,
to ensure that equal pressure is applied to every zone in the common
case.

However, in order to do this we do need to know how many pages we already
freed, so move nr_reclaimed into scan_control.

akpm: a historical interlude...

We tried this in 2004:

:[PATCH] vmscan.c: dont reclaim too many pages
:
:    The shrink_zone() logic can, under some circumstances, cause far too many

:    a large number of reclaimable pages on the LRU.
:    Change things so we bale out when SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages have been reclaimed.

And we reverted it in 2006:

:
:    [PATCH] vmscan: balancing fix
:
:    Revert a patch which went into 2.6.8-rc1.  The changelog for that patch was:
:
:      The shrink_zone() logic can, under some circumstances, cause far too many
:      pages to be reclaimed.  Say, we're scanning at high priority and suddenly
:      hit a large number of reclaimable pages on the LRU.
:
:      Change things so we bale out when SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages have been
:      reclaimed.
:
:    Problem is, this change caused significant imbalance in inter-zone scan
:    balancing by truncating scans of larger zones.
:
:    Suppose, for example, ZONE_HIGHMEM is 10x the size of ZONE_NORMAL.  The zone
:    balancing algorithm would require that if we're scanning 100 pages of
:    ZONE_HIGHMEM, we should scan 10 pages of ZONE_NORMAL.  But this logic will
:    cause the scanning of ZONE_HIGHMEM to bale out after only 32 pages are
:    reclaimed.  Thus effectively causing smaller zones to be scanned relatively
:    harder than large ones.
:
:    Now I need to remember what the workload was which caused me to write this
:    patch originally, then fix it up in a different way...

And we haven't demonstrated that whatever problem caused that reversion is
not being reintroduced by this change in 2008.

c60aa176c6 swapfile: swap allocation cycle if nonrot
Though attempting to find free clusters (Andrea), swap allocation has
always restarted its searches from the beginning of the swap area (sct),
to reduce seek times between swap pages, by not scattering them all over
the partition.

But on a solidstate swap device, seeks are cheap, and block remapping to
level the wear may be limited by zones: in that case it's better to cycle
around the whole partition.

20137a490f swapfile: swapon randomize if nonrot
Swap allocation has always started from the beginning of the swap area;
but if we're dealing with a solidstate swap device which can only remap
blocks within limited zones, that would sooner wear out the first zone.

Therefore sys_swapon() test whether blk_queue is non-rotational, and if so
randomize the cluster_next starting position for allocation.

If blk_queue is nonrot, note SWP_SOLIDSTATE for later use, and report it
with an "SS" at the right end of the kernel's "Adding ...  swap" message
(so that if it's both nonrot and discardable, "SSD" will be shown there).
Perhaps something should be shown in /proc/swaps (swapon -s), but we have
to be more cautious before making any addition to that format.

7992fde72c swapfile: swap allocation use discard
When scan_swap_map() finds a free cluster of swap pages to allocate,
discard the old contents of the cluster if the device supports discard.
But don't bother when swap is so fragmented that we allocate single pages.

Be careful about racing allocations made while we're scanning for a
cluster; and hold up allocations made while we're discarding.

6a6ba83175 swapfile: swapon use discard (trim)
When adding swap, all the old data on swap can be forgotten: sys_swapon()
discard all but the header page of the swap partition (or every extent but
the header of the swap file), to give a solidstate swap device the
opportunity to optimize its wear-levelling.

If that succeeds, note SWP_DISCARDABLE for later use, and report it with a
"D" at the right end of the kernel's "Adding ...  swap" message.  Perhaps
something should be shown in /proc/swaps (swapon -s), but we have to be
more cautious before making any addition to that format.

ebebbbe904 swapfile: rearrange scan and swap_info
Before making functional changes, rearrange scan_swap_map() to simplify
subsequent diffs.  Actually, there is one functional change in there:
leave cluster_nr negative while scanning for a new cluster - resetting it
early increased the likelihood that when we have difficulty finding a free
cluster, another task may come in and try doing exactly the same - just a
waste of cpu.

Before making functional changes, rearrange struct swap_info_struct
slightly: flags will be needed as an unsigned long (for wait_on_bit), next
is a good int to pair with prio, old_block_size is uninteresting so shift
it to the end.

81e3397127 swapfile: remove v0 SWAP-SPACE message
The kernel has not supported v0 SWAP-SPACE since 2.5.22: I think we can
now safely drop its "version 0 swap is no longer supported" message - just
say "Unable to find swap-space signature" as usual.  This removes one
level of indentation from a stretch of sys_swapon().

I'd have liked to be specific, saying "Unable to find SWAPSPACE2
signature", but it's just too confusing that the version 1 signature shows
the number 2.

Irrelevant nearby cleanup: kmap(page) already gives page_address(page).
