nfsd defines a type 'encode_dent_fn' which is much like 'filldir_t' except
that the first pointer is 'struct readdir_cd *' rather than 'void *'. It
then casts encode_dent_fn points to 'filldir_t' as needed. This hides any
other type mismatches between the two such as the fact that the 'ino' arg
recently changed from ino_t to u64.
So: get rid of 'encode_dent_fn', get rid of the cast of the function type,
change the first arg of various functions from 'struct readdir_cd *' to
'void *', and live with the fact that we have a little less type checking
on the calling of these functions now. Less internal (to nfsd) checking
offset by more external checking, which is more important.

NFSd assumes that largest number of pages that will be needed for a
request+response is 2+N where N pages is the size of the largest permitted
read/write request. The '2' are 1 for the non-data part of the request, and 1
for the non-data part of the reply.
However, when a read request is not page-aligned, and we choose to use
->sendfile to send it directly from the page cache, we may need N+1 pages to
hold the whole reply. This can overflow and array and cause an Oops.
This patch increases size of the array for holding pages by one and makes sure
that entry is NULL when it is not in use.

With the introduction of x_tables we accidentally broke compatibility
by defining IPT_TABLE_MAXNAMELEN to XT_FUNCTION_MAXNAMELEN instead of
XT_TABLE_MAXNAMELEN, which is two bytes larger.
On most architectures it doesn't really matter since we don't have
any tables with names that long in the kernel and the structure
layout didn't change because of alignment requirements of following
members. On CRIS however (and other architectures that don't align
data) this changed the structure layout and thus broke compatibility
with old iptables binaries.
Changing it back will break compatibility with binaries compiled
against recent kernels again, but since the breakage has only been
there for three releases this seems like the better choice.

This patch fixes a confusion reiserfs has for a long time.
On release file operation reiserfs used to try to pack file data stored in
last incomplete page of some files into metadata blocks. After packing the
page got cleared with clear_page_dirty. It did not take into account that
the page may be mmaped into other process's address space. Recent
replacement for clear_page_dirty cancel_dirty_page found the confusion with
sanity check that page has to be not mapped.
The patch fixes the confusion by making reiserfs avoid tail packing if an
inode was ever mmapped. reiserfs_mmap and reiserfs_file_release are
serialized with mutex in reiserfs specific inode. reiserfs_mmap locks the
mutex and sets a bit in reiserfs specific inode flags.
reiserfs_file_release checks the bit having the mutex locked. If bit is
set - tail packing is avoided. This eliminates a possibility that mmapped
page gets cancel_page_dirty-ed.

initialization and command translation path didn't set qc->dma_dir if
the command doesn't need data transfer. This made non-data commands
to have random qc->dma_dir.
This usually doesn't cause problem because LLDs usually check
qc->protocol first and look at qc->dma_dir iff the command needs data
transfer but this doesn't hold for all LLDs.
It might be worthwhile to rename qc->dma_dir to qc->data_dir as we use

NFS: Fix race in nfs_release_page()
invalidate_inode_pages2() may find the dirty bit has been set on a page
owing to the fact that the page may still be mapped after it was locked.
Only after the call to unmap_mapping_range() are we sure that the page
can no longer be dirtied.
In order to fix this, NFS has hooked the releasepage() method and tries
to write the page out between the call to unmap_mapping_range() and the
call to remove_mapping(). This, however leads to deadlocks in the page
reclaim code, where the page may be locked without holding a reference
to the inode or dentry.
Fix is to add a new address_space_operation, launder_page(), which will
attempt to write out a dirty page without releasing the page lock.

It may not be appropriate, or even desirable to flush a region of

Therefore, pass the vma into flush_anon_page() so that the architecture

The current interrupt injection mechanism might delay an interrupt under
the following circumstances:
- if injection fails because the guest is not interruptible (rflags.IF clear,
or after a 'mov ss' or 'sti' instruction). Userspace can check rflags,
but the other cases or not testable under the current API.
- if injection fails because of a fault during delivery. This probably
never happens under normal guests.
- if injection fails due to a physical interrupt causing a vmexit so that
it can be handled by the host.
In all cases the guest proceeds without processing the interrupt, reducing
the interactive feel and interrupt throughput of the guest.
This patch fixes the situation by allowing userspace to request an exit
when the 'interrupt window' opens, so that it can re-inject the interrupt
at the right time. Guest interactivity is very visibly improved.

Some issues were recently turned up with the current specification of what
it means for spi_transfer.tx_buf to be null, as part of transfers which are
(from the SPI protocol driver perspective) pure reads.
Specifically, that it seems better to change the TX behaviour there from
"undefined" to "will shift zeroes". This lets protocol drivers (like the
ads7846 driver) depend on that behavior. It's what most controller drivers
in the tree are already doing (with one exception and one case of driver
wanting-to-oops), it's what Microwire hardware will necessarily be doing,
and it removes an issue whereby certain security audits would need to
define such a value anyway as part of removing covert channels.
This patch changes the specification to require shifting zeroes, and
updates all currently merged SPI controller drivers to do so.

They were horribly easy to mis-use because of their tempting naming, and
they also did way more than any users of them generally wanted them to
do.
A dirty page can become clean under two circumstances:
(a) when we write it out. We have "clear_page_dirty_for_io()" for
this, and that function remains unchanged.
In the "for IO" case it is not sufficient to just clear the dirty
bit, you also have to mark the page as being under writeback etc.
(b) when we actually remove a page due to it becoming inaccessible to
users, notably because it was truncate()'d away or the file (or
metadata) no longer exists, and we thus want to cancel any
outstanding dirty state.
For the (b) case, we now introduce "cancel_dirty_page()", which only
touches the page state itself, and verifies that the page is not mapped
(since cancelling writes on a mapped page would be actively wrong as it
is still accessible to users).
Some filesystems need to be fixed up for this: CIFS, FUSE, JFS,
ReiserFS, XFS all use the old confusing functions, and will be fixed
separately in subsequent commits (with some of them just removing the
offending logic, and others using clear_page_dirty_for_io()).
This was confirmed by Martin Michlmayr to fix the apt database

Since commit 368c73d4f6 the kernel will try
to update the non-writeable BAR registers 0..3 of PIIX4 IDE adapters if
pci_assign_unassigned_resources() is used to do full resource assignment of
the bus. This fails because in the PIIX4 these BAR registers have
implicitly assumed values and read back as zero; it used to work because
the kernel used to just write zero to that register the read back value did
match what was written.
The fix is a new resource flag IORESOURCE_PCI_FIXED used to mark a resource
as non-movable. This will also be useful to keep other import system
resources from being moved around - for example system consoles on PCI
busses.

This patch is designed to fix:
- Disk eating corruptor on KT7 after resume from RAM
- VIA IRQ handling
- VIA fixups for bus lockups after resume from RAM
The core of this is to add a table of resume fixups run at resume time.
We need to do this for a variety of boards and features, but particularly
we need to do this to get various critical VIA fixups done on resume.
The second part of the problem is to handle VIA IRQ number rules which
are a bit odd and need special handling for PIC interrupts. Various
patches broke various boxes and while this one may not be perfect
(hopefully it is) it ensures the workaround is applied to the right
devices only.

There are already several places in the kernel that want to search a PCI
device for a given Hypertransport capability. Although this is possible
using pci_find_capability() etc., it makes sense to encapsulate that
logic in a helper - pci_find_ht_capability().
To cater for searching exhaustively for a capability, we also provide
pci_find_next_ht_capability().
We also need to cater for the fact that the HT capability fields may be
either 3 or 5 bits wide. pci_find_ht_capability() deals with this for you,
but callers using the #defines directly must handle that themselves.

On architectures where the atomicity of the bit operations is handled by
external means (ie a separate spinlock to protect concurrent accesses),
just doing a direct assignment on the workqueue data field (as done by
commit 4594bf159f) can cause the
assignment to be lost due to lack of serialization with the bitops on
the same word.
So we need to serialize the assignment with the locks on those
architectures (notably older ARM chips, PA-RISC and sparc32).
So rather than using an "unsigned long", let's use "atomic_long_t",
which already has a safe assignment operation (atomic_long_set()) on
such architectures.
This requires that the atomic operations use the same atomicity locks as
the bit operations do, but that is largely the case anyway. Sparc32
will probably need fixing.
Architectures (including modern ARM with LL/SC) that implement sane
atomic operations for SMP won't see any of this matter.

Problem:
1. There is a process containing two thread (T1 and T2). The
thread T1 calls fork(). Then dup_mmap() function called on T1 context.
static inline int dup_mmap(struct mm_struct *mm, struct mm_struct *oldmm)
...
flush_cache_mm(current->mm);
... /* A */
(write-protect all Copy-On-Write pages)
... /* B */
flush_tlb_mm(current->mm);
...
2. When preemption happens between A and B (or on SMP kernel), the
thread T2 can run and modify data on COW pages without page fault
(modified data will stay in cache).
3. Some time after fork() completed, the thread T2 may cause a page
fault by write-protect on a COW page.
4. Then data of the COW page will be copied to newly allocated
physical page (copy_cow_page()). It reads data via kernel mapping.
The kernel mapping can have different 'color' with user space
mapping of the thread T2 (dcache aliasing). Therefore
copy_cow_page() will copy stale data. Then the modified data in
cache will be lost.
In order to allow architecture code to deal with this problem allow
architecture code to override copy_user_highpage() by defining
__HAVE_ARCH_COPY_USER_HIGHPAGE in <asm/page.h>.

extents file on write, and tons of other corner cases. The end result is
that it takes tons of CPU time to submit an I/O.
For block device, the block allocation is much simpler and a tight triple
loop can be written to iterate each iovec and each page within the iovec in
order to construct/prepare bio structure and then subsequently submit it to
the block layer. This significantly speeds up O_D on block device.

Currently, to tell a task that it should go to the refrigerator, we set the
PF_FREEZE flag for it and send a fake signal to it. Unfortunately there
are two SMP-related problems with this approach. First, a task running on
another CPU may be updating its flags while the freezer attempts to set
PF_FREEZE for it and this may leave the task's flags in an inconsistent
state. Second, there is a potential race between freeze_process() and
refrigerator() in which freeze_process() running on one CPU is reading a
task's PF_FREEZE flag while refrigerator() running on another CPU has just
set PF_FROZEN for the same task and attempts to reset PF_FREEZE for it. If
the refrigerator wins the race, freeze_process() will state that PF_FREEZE
hasn't been set for the task and will set it unnecessarily, so the task
will go to the refrigerator once again after it's been thawed.
To solve first of these problems we need to stop using PF_FREEZE to tell
tasks that they should go to the refrigerator. Instead, we can introduce a
special TIF_*** flag and use it for this purpose, since it is allowed to
change the other tasks' TIF_*** flags and there are special calls for it.
To avoid the freeze_process()-refrigerator() race we can make
freeze_process() to always check the task's PF_FROZEN flag after it's read
its "freeze" flag. We should also make sure that refrigerator() will
always reset the task's "freeze" flag after it's set PF_FROZEN for it.

When some objects are allocated by one CPU but freed by another CPU we can
consume lot of cycles doing divides in obj_to_index().
(Typical load on a dual processor machine where network interrupts are
handled by one particular CPU (allocating skbufs), and the other CPU is
running the application (consuming and freeing skbufs))
Here on one production server (dual-core AMD Opteron 285), I noticed this
divide took 1.20 % of CPU_CLK_UNHALTED events in kernel. But Opteron are
quite modern cpus and the divide is much more expensive on oldest
architectures :
On a 200 MHz sparcv9 machine, the division takes 64 cycles instead of 1
cycle for a multiply.
Doing some math, we can use a reciprocal multiplication instead of a divide.
If we want to compute V = (A / B) (A and B being u32 quantities)

Elaborate the API for calling cpuset_zone_allowed(), so that users have to
explicitly choose between the two variants:
cpuset_zone_allowed_hardwall()
cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall()
Until now, whether or not you got the hardwall flavor depended solely on
whether or not you or'd in the __GFP_HARDWALL gfp flag to the gfp_mask
argument.
If you didn't specify __GFP_HARDWALL, you implicitly got the softwall
version.
Unfortunately, this meant that users would end up with the softwall version
without thinking about it. Since only the softwall version might sleep,
this led to bugs with possible sleeping in interrupt context on more than
one occassion.
The hardwall version requires that the current tasks mems_allowed allows
the node of the specified zone (or that you're in interrupt or that
__GFP_THISNODE is set or that you're on a one cpuset system.)
The softwall version, depending on the gfp_mask, might allow a node if it
was allowed in the nearest enclusing cpuset marked mem_exclusive (which
requires taking the cpuset lock 'callback_mutex' to evaluate.)
This patch removes the cpuset_zone_allowed() call, and forces the caller to
explicitly choose between the hardwall and the softwall case.
If the caller wants the gfp_mask to determine this choice, they should (1)
be sure they can sleep or that __GFP_HARDWALL is set, and (2) invoke the
cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() routine.
This adds another 100 or 200 bytes to the kernel text space, due to the few
lines of nearly duplicate code at the top of both cpuset_zone_allowed_*
routines. It should save a few instructions executed for the calls that
turned into calls of cpuset_zone_allowed_hardwall, thanks to not having to
set (before the call) then check (within the call) the __GFP_HARDWALL flag.
For the most critical call, from get_page_from_freelist(), the same
instructions are executed as before -- the old cpuset_zone_allowed()
routine it used to call is the same code as the
cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() routine that it calls now.
Not a perfect win, but seems worth it, to reduce this chance of hitting a
sleeping with irq off complaint again.

This is a response to an earlier discussion on linux-mm about splitting
slab.h components per allocator. Patch is against 2.6.19-git11. See
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-mm&m=116469577431008&w=2
This patch cleans up the slab header definitions. We define the common
functions of slob and slab in slab.h and put the extra definitions needed
for slab's kmalloc implementations in <linux/slab_def.h>. In order to get
a greater set of common functions we add several empty functions to slob.c
and also rename slob's kmalloc to __kmalloc.
Slob does not need any special definitions since we introduce a fallback
case. If there is no need for a slab implementation to provide its own
kmalloc mess^H^H^Hacros then we simply fall back to __kmalloc functions.
That is sufficient for SLOB.
Sort the function in slab.h according to their functionality. First the
functions operating on struct kmem_cache * then the kmalloc related
functions followed by special debug and fallback definitions.
Also redo a lot of comments.

Fields of struct pipe_buf_operations have not a precise layout (ie not
optimized to fit cache lines nor reduce cache line ping pongs)
The bufs[] array is *large* and is placed near the beginning of the
structure, so all following fields have a large offset. This is
unfortunate because many archs have smaller instructions when using small
offsets relative to a base register. On x86 for example, 7 bits offsets
have smaller instruction lengths.
Moving bufs[] at the end of pipe_buf_operations permits all fields to have
small offsets, and reduce text size, and icache pressure.
# size vmlinux.pre vmlinux
text data bss dec hex filename
3268989 664356 492196 4425541 438745 vmlinux.pre

This reverts commit 373beb35cd.
No one is using this identifier yet. The purpose of this identifier is to
export nsproxy to user space which is wrong. nsproxy is an internal
implementation optimization, which should keep our fork times from getting
slower as we increase the number of global namespaces you don't have to

Adding a global identifier like this is inappropriate because it makes
namespaces inherently non-recursive, greatly limiting what we can do with

As reported by Andy Whitcroft, at least the SLES9 initrd build process
depends on getting the kernel version from the kernel binary. It does
that by simply trawling the binary and looking for the signature of the
"linux_banner" string (the string "Linux version " to be exact. Which
is really broken in itself, but whatever..)
That got broken when the string was changed to allow /proc/version to
change the UTS release information dynamically, and "get_kernel_version"
thus returned "%s" (see commit a2ee8649ba:
"[PATCH] Fix linux banner utsname information").
This just restores "linux_banner" as a static string, which should fix
the version finding. And /proc/version simply uses a different string.
To avoid wasting even that miniscule amount of memory, the early boot
string should really be marked __initdata, but that just causes the same
bug in SLES9 to re-appear, since it will then find other occurrences of
"Linux version " first.

The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

The primary purpose of this rounding is to cause all "we don't care exactly
when" timers to happen at the same jiffy.
This avoids multiple timers firing within the second for no real reason;
with dynamic ticks these extra timers cause wakeups from deep sleep CPU
sleep states and thus waste power.
The exact wakeup moment is skewed by the cpu number, to avoid all cpus from
waking up at the exact same time (and hitting the same lock/cachelines
there)

This patch provides an improved fdtable allocation scheme, useful for
expanding fdtable file descriptor entries. The main focus is on the fdarray,
as its memory usage grows 128 times faster than that of an fdset.
The allocation algorithm sizes the fdarray in such a way that its memory usage
increases in easy page-sized chunks. The overall algorithm expands the allowed
size in powers of two, in order to amortize the cost of invoking vmalloc() for
larger allocation sizes. Namely, the following sizes for the fdarray are
considered, and the smallest that accommodates the requested fd count is
chosen:
pagesize / 4
pagesize / 2
pagesize <- memory allocator switch point
pagesize * 2
pagesize * 4
...etc...
Unlike the current implementation, this allocation scheme does not require a
loop to compute the optimal fdarray size, and can be done in efficient
straightline code.
Furthermore, since the fdarray overflows the pagesize boundary long before any
of the fdsets do, it makes sense to optimize run-time by allocating both
fdsets in a single swoop. Even together, they will still be, by far, smaller
than the fdarray. The fdtable->open_fds is now used as the anchor for the
fdset memory allocation.

An fdtable can either be embedded inside a files_struct or standalone (after
being expanded). When an fdtable is being discarded after all RCU references
to it have expired, we must either free it directly, in the standalone case,
or free the files_struct it is contained within, in the embedded case.
Currently the free_files field controls this behavior, but we can get rid of
it entirely, as all the necessary information is already recorded. We can
distinguish embedded and standalone fdtables using max_fds, and if it is
embedded we can divine the relevant files_struct using container_of().

Currently, each fdtable supports three dynamically-sized arrays of data: the
fdarray and two fdsets. The code allows the number of fds supported by the
fdarray (fdtable->max_fds) to differ from the number of fds supported by each
of the fdsets (fdtable->max_fdset).
In practice, it is wasteful for these two sizes to differ: whenever we hit a
limit on the smaller-capacity structure, we will reallocate the entire fdtable
and all the dynamic arrays within it, so any delta in the memory used by the
larger-capacity structure will never be touched at all.
Rather than hogging this excess, we shouldn't even allocate it in the first
place, and keep the capacities of the fdarray and the fdsets equal. This
patch removes fdtable->max_fdset. As an added bonus, most of the supporting
code becomes simpler.

If a bypass-the-cache read fails, we simply try again through the cache. If
it fails again it will trigger normal recovery precedures.
update 1:
From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
1/
chunk_aligned_read and retry_aligned_read assume that
data_disks == raid_disks - 1
which is not true for raid6.
So when an aligned read request bypasses the cache, we can get the wrong data.
2/ The cloned bio is being used-after-free in raid5_align_endio
(to test BIO_UPTODATE).
3/ We forgot to add rdev->data_offset when submitting
a bio for aligned-read
4/ clone_bio calls blk_recount_segments and then we change bi_bdev,
so we need to invalidate the segment counts.
5/ We don't de-reference the rdev when the read completes.
This means we need to record the rdev to so it is still
available in the end_io routine. Fortunately
bi_next in the original bio is unused at this point so
we can stuff it in there.
6/ We leak a cloned bio if the target rdev is not usable.
From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
update 2:
1/ When aligned requests fail (read error) they need to be retried
via the normal method (stripe cache). As we cannot be sure that
we can process a single read in one go (we may not be able to
allocate all the stripes needed) we store a bio-being-retried
and a list of bioes-that-still-need-to-be-retried.
When find a bio that needs to be retried, we should add it to
the list, not to single-bio...
2/ We were never incrementing 'scnt' when resubmitting failed
aligned requests.

The ESB2 appears to emit spurious DMA interrupts when configured for native
mode and handling ATAPI devices. Stratus were able to pin this bug down and
produce a patch. This is a rework which applies the fixup only to the ESB2
(for now). We can apply it to other chips later if the same problem is found.
This code has been tested and confirmed to fix the problem on the tested
systems.

Remove scheduler stats lb_stopbalance counter. This counter can be
calculated by: lb_balanced - lb_nobusyg - lb_nobusyq. There is no need to
create gazillion counters while we can derive the value.

Currently at a particular domain, each cpu in the sched group will do a
load balance at the frequency of balance_interval. More the cores and
threads, more the cpus will be in each sched group at SMP and NUMA domain.
And we endup spending quite a bit of time doing load balancing in those
domains.
Fix this by making only one cpu(first idle cpu or first cpu in the group if
all the cpus are busy) in the sched group do the load balance at that
particular sched domain and this load will slowly percolate down to the
other cpus with in that group(when they do load balancing at lower
domains).

Large sched domains can be very expensive to scan. Add an option SD_SERIALIZE
to the sched domain flags. If that flag is set then we make sure that no
other such domain is being balanced.
