2008-09-02mm: show quicklist usage in /proc/meminfoKOSAKI Motohiro
Quicklists can consume several GB of memory. We should provide a means of monitoring this. After this patch is applied, /proc/meminfo will output the following: % cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 7715392 kB MemFree: 5401600 kB Buffers: 80384 kB Cached: 300800 kB SwapCached: 0 kB Active: 235584 kB Inactive: 262656 kB SwapTotal: 2031488 kB SwapFree: 2031488 kB Dirty: 3520 kB Writeback: 0 kB AnonPages: 117696 kB Mapped: 38528 kB Slab: 1589952 kB SReclaimable: 23104 kB SUnreclaim: 1566848 kB PageTables: 14656 kB NFS_Unstable: 0 kB Bounce: 0 kB WritebackTmp: 0 kB CommitLimit: 5889152 kB Committed_AS: 393152 kB VmallocTotal: 17592177655808 kB VmallocUsed: 29056 kB VmallocChunk: 17592177626432 kB Quicklists: 130944 kB HugePages_Total: 0 HugePages_Free: 0 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 HugePages_Surp: 0 Hugepagesize: 262144 kB Signed-off-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Keiichiro Tokunaga <tokunaga.keiich@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-09-02devcgroup: fix race against rmdir()Li Zefan
During the use of a dev_cgroup, we should guarantee the corresponding cgroup won't be deleted (i.e. via rmdir). This can be done through css_get(&dev_cgroup->css), but here we can just get and use the dev_cgroup under rcu_read_lock. And also remove checking NULL dev_cgroup, it won't be NULL since a task always belongs to a cgroup.

2008-09-02pid_ns: (BUG 11391) change ->child_reaper when init->group_leader exitsOleg Nesterov
We don't change pid_ns->child_reaper when the main thread of the subnamespace init exits. As Robert Rex <robert.rex@exasol.com> pointed out this is wrong. Yes, the re-parenting itself works correctly, but if the reparented task exits it needs ->parent->nsproxy->pid_ns in do_notify_parent(), and if the main thread is zombie its ->nsproxy was already cleared by exit_task_namespaces(). Introduce the new function, find_new_reaper(), which finds the new ->parent for the re-parenting and changes ->child_reaper if needed. Kill the now unneeded exit_child_reaper(). Also move the changing of ->child_reaper from zap_pid_ns_processes() to find_new_reaper(), this consolidates the games with ->child_reaper and makes it stable under tasklist_lock.

2008-09-02pid_ns: zap_pid_ns_processes: fix the ->child_reaper changingOleg Nesterov
zap_pid_ns_processes() sets pid_ns->child_reaper = NULL, this is wrong. Yes, we have already killed all tasks in this namespace, and sys_wait4() doesn't see any child. But this doesn't mean ->children list is empty, we may have EXIT_DEAD tasks which are not visible to do_wait(). In that case the subsequent forget_original_parent() will crash the kernel because it will try to re-parent these tasks to the NULL reaper. Even if there are no childs, it is not good that forget_original_parent() uses reaper == NULL. Change the code to set ->child_reaper = init_pid_ns.child_reaper instead. We could use pid_ns->parent->child_reaper as well, I think this does not really matter. These EXIT_DEAD tasks are not visible to the new ->parent after re-parenting, they will silently do release_task() eventually. Note that we must change ->child_reaper, otherwise forget_original_parent() will use reaper == father, and in that case we will hit the (correct) BUG_ON(!list_empty(&father->children)).

2008-09-02mmc: at91_mci: don't use coherent dma buffersDavid Brownell
At91_mci is abusing dma_free_coherent(), which may not be called with IRQs disabled. I saw "mkfs.ext3" on an MMC card objecting voluminously as each write completed: WARNING: at arch/arm/mm/consistent.c:368 dma_free_coherent+0x2c/0x224() [<c002726c>] (dump_stack+0x0/0x14) from [<c00387d4>] (warn_on_slowpath+0x4c/0x68) [<c0038788>] (warn_on_slowpath+0x0/0x68) from [<c0028768>] (dma_free_coherent+0x2c/0x224) r6:00008008 r5:ffc06000 r4:00000000 [<c002873c>] (dma_free_coherent+0x0/0x224) from [<c01918ac>] (at91_mci_irq+0x374/0x420) [<c0191538>] (at91_mci_irq+0x0/0x420) from [<c0065d9c>] (handle_IRQ_event+0x2c/0x6c) ... This bug has been around for a LONG time. The MM warning is from late 2005, but the driver merged a year later ... so I'm puzzled why nobody noticed this before now. The fix involves noting that this buffer shouldn't be DMA-coherent; it's just used for normal DMA writes. So replace it with standard kmalloc() buffering and DMA mapping calls. This is the quickie fix. A better one would not rely on allocating large bounce buffers. (Note that dma_alloc_coherent could have failed too, but that case was ignored... kmalloc is a bit more likely to fail though.)

2008-09-028250: improve workaround for UARTs that don't re-assert THRE correctlyWill Newton
Recent changes to tighten the check for UARTs that don't correctly re-assert THRE (01c194d9278efc15d4785ff205643e9c0bdcef53: "serial 8250: tighten test for using backup timer") caused problems when such a UART was opened for the second time - the bug could only successfully be detected at first initialization. For users of this version of this particular UART IP it is fatal. This patch stores the information about the bug in the bugs field of the port structure when the port is first started up so subsequent opens can check this bit even if the test for the bug fails. David Brownell: "My own exposure to this is that the UART on DaVinci hardware, which TI allegedly derived from its original 16550 logic, has periodically gone from working to unusable with the mainline 8250.c ... and back and forth a bunch. Currently it's "unusable", a regression from some previous versions. With this patch from Will, it's usable."

2008-09-02VFS: fix dio write returning EIO when try_to_release_page failsHisashi Hifumi
Dio write returns EIO when try_to_release_page fails because bh is still referenced. The patch commit 3f31fddfa26b7594b44ff2b34f9a04ba409e0f91 Author: Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com> Date: Fri Jul 25 01:46:22 2008 -0700 jbd: fix race between free buffer and commit transaction was merged into 2.6.27-rc1, but I noticed that this patch is not enough to fix the race. I did fsstress test heavily to 2.6.27-rc1, and found that dio write still sometimes got EIO through this test. The patch above fixed race between freeing buffer(dio) and committing transaction(jbd) but I discovered that there is another race, freeing buffer(dio) and ext3/4_ordered_writepage. : background_writeout() ->write_cache_pages() ->ext3_ordered_writepage() walk_page_buffers() -> take a bh ref block_write_full_page() -> unlock_page : <- end_page_writeback : <- race! (dio write->try_to_release_page fails) walk_page_buffers() ->release a bh ref ext3_ordered_writepage holds bh ref and does unlock_page remaining taking a bh ref, so this causes the race and failure of try_to_release_page. To fix this race, I used the approach of falling back to buffered writes if try_to_release_page() fails on a page.

2008-09-02mm: make setup_zone_migrate_reserve() aware of overlapping nodesAdam Litke
I have gotten to the root cause of the hugetlb badness I reported back on August 15th. My system has the following memory topology (note the overlapping node): Node 0 Memory: 0x8000000-0x44000000 Node 1 Memory: 0x0-0x8000000 0x44000000-0x80000000 setup_zone_migrate_reserve() scans the address range 0x0-0x8000000 looking for a pageblock to move onto the MIGRATE_RESERVE list. Finding no candidates, it happily continues the scan into 0x8000000-0x44000000. When a pageblock is found, the pages are moved to the MIGRATE_RESERVE list on the wrong zone. Oops. setup_zone_migrate_reserve() should skip pageblocks in overlapping nodes.

Breaking lines due to some imaginary problem with a long line length is often stupid and wrong, but never more so when it splits a string that is printed out into multiple lines. This really ended up making it much harder to find where some error strings were printed out, because a simple 'grep' didn't work. I'm sure there is tons more of this particular idiocy hiding in other places, but this particular case hit me once more last week. So fix it.

David Wagner added (among other things) that copy_to_user could be probably used here. Ingo Oeser suggested to use simple_read_from_buffer() here. The conclusion is that proc_do_xprt doesn't check for userside buffer size indeed so fix this by using Ingo's suggestion.

2008-09-01nfsd: fix compound state allocation error handlingAndy Adamson
Move the cstate_alloc call so that if it fails, the response is setup to encode the NFS error. The out label now means that the nfsd4_compound_state has not been allocated. Signed-off-by: Andy Adamson <andros@netapp.com> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
2008-09-01block: restore original behavior of /proc/partition when there's no partitionTejun Heo
/proc/partitions didn't use to write out the header if there was no partition. However, recent commit 66c64afe changed the behavior. This is nothing major but there's no reason to change user visible behavior without a good rationale. Restore the original behavior. Note that 2.6.28 has clean up changes scheduled which will replace this rather hacky implementation.

2008-09-01Fix problem with waiting while holding rcu read lock in md/bitmap.cNeilBrown
A recent patch to protect the rdev list with rcu locking leaves us with a problem because we can sleep on memalloc while holding the rcu lock. The rcu lock is only needed while walking the linked list as uninteresting devices (failed or spares) can be removed at any time. So only take the rcu lock while actually walking the linked list. Take a refcount on the rdev during the time when we drop the lock and do the memalloc to start IO. When we return to the locked code, all the interesting devices on the list will not have moved, so we can simply use list_for_each_continue_rcu to pick up where we left off.
