2008-11-06mm: move migrate_prep out from under mmap_semChristoph Lameter
Move the migrate_prep outside the mmap_sem for the following system calls 1. sys_move_pages 2. sys_migrate_pages 3. sys_mbind() It really does not matter when we flush the lru. The system is free to add pages onto the lru even during migration which will make the page migration either skip the page (mbind, migrate_pages) or return a busy state (move_pages). Fixes this lockdep warning (and potential deadlock): Some VM place has mmap_sem -> kevent_wq via lru_add_drain_all() net/core/dev.c::dev_ioctl() has rtnl_lock -> mmap_sem (*) the ioctl has copy_from_user() and it can do page fault. linkwatch_event has kevent_wq -> rtnl_lock Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> Cc: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Reported-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Cc: Nick Piggin <nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Lee Schermerhorn <lee.schermerhorn@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-11-06hugetlb: pull gigantic page initialisation out of the default pathAndy Whitcroft
As we can determine exactly when a gigantic page is in use we can optimise the common regular page cases by pulling out gigantic page initialisation into its own function. As gigantic pages are never released to buddy we do not need a destructor. This effectivly reverts the previous change to the main buddy allocator. It also adds a paranoid check to ensure we never release gigantic pages from hugetlbfs to the main buddy.

2008-11-06hugetlbfs: handle pages higher order than MAX_ORDERAndy Whitcroft
When working with hugepages, hugetlbfs assumes that those hugepages are smaller than MAX_ORDER. Specifically it assumes that the mem_map is contigious and uses that to optimise access to the elements of the mem_map that represent the hugepage. Gigantic pages (such as 16GB pages on powerpc) by definition are of greater order than MAX_ORDER (larger than MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES in size). This means that we can no longer make use of the buddy alloctor guarentees for the contiguity of the mem_map, which ensures that the mem_map is at least contigious for maximmally aligned areas of MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages. This patch adds new mem_map accessors and iterator helpers which handle any discontiguity at MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundaries. It then uses these to implement gigantic page versions of copy_huge_page and clear_huge_page, and to allow follow_hugetlb_page handle gigantic pages.

2008-11-06net: Fix recursive descent in __scm_destroy().David Miller
__scm_destroy() walks the list of file descriptors in the scm_fp_list pointed to by the scm_cookie argument. Those, in turn, can close sockets and invoke __scm_destroy() again. There is nothing which limits how deeply this can occur. The idea for how to fix this is from Linus. Basically, we do all of the fput()s at the top level by collecting all of the scm_fp_list objects hit by an fput(). Inside of the initial __scm_destroy() we keep running the list until it is empty.

2008-11-06ext4: calculate journal credits correctlyTheodore Ts'o
This fixes a 2.6.27 regression which was introduced in commit a02908f1. We weren't passing the chunk parameter down to the two subections, ext4_indirect_trans_blocks() and ext4_ext_index_trans_blocks(), with the result that massively overestimate the amount of credits needed by ext4_da_writepages, especially in the non-extents case. This causes failures especially on /boot partitions, which tend to be small and non-extent using since GRUB doesn't handle extents.

As of 73bdf0a60e607f4b8ecc5aec597105976565a84f, the kernel needs to know where modules are located in the virtual address space. On ARM, we located this region between MODULE_START and MODULE_END. Unfortunately, everyone else calls it MODULES_VADDR and MODULES_END. Update ARM to use the same naming, so is_vmalloc_or_module_addr() can work properly. Also update the comment on mm/vmalloc.c to reflect that ARM also places modules in a separate region from the vmalloc space. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2008-11-06x86: add smp_mb() before sending INVALIDATE_TLB_VECTORSuresh Siddha
Impact: fix rare x2apic hang On x86, x2apic mode accesses for sending IPI's don't have serializing semantics. If the IPI receivner refers(in lock-free fashion) to some memory setup by the sender, the need for smp_mb() before sending the IPI becomes critical in x2apic mode. Add the smp_mb() in native_flush_tlb_others() before sending the IPI. Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-11-06md: linear: Fix a division by zero bug for very small arrays.Andre Noll
We currently oops with a divide error on starting a linear software raid array consisting of at least two very small (< 500K) devices. The bug is caused by the calculation of the hash table size which tries to compute sector_div(sz, base) with "base" being zero due to the small size of the component devices of the array. Fix this by requiring the hash spacing to be at least one which implies that also "base" is non-zero. This bug has existed since about 2.6.14.

2008-11-06Block: use round_jiffies_up()Alan Stern
This patch (as1159b) changes the timeout routines in the block core to use round_jiffies_up(). There's no point in rounding the timer deadline down, since if it expires too early we will have to restart it. The patch also removes some unnecessary tests when a request is removed from the queue's timer list.

2008-11-06Add round_jiffies_up and related routinesAlan Stern
This patch (as1158b) adds round_jiffies_up() and friends. These routines work like the analogous round_jiffies() functions, except that they will never round down. The new routines will be useful for timeouts where we don't care exactly when the timer expires, provided it doesn't expire too soon.

2008-11-06block: fix __blkdev_get() for removable devicesTejun Heo
Commit 0762b8bde9729f10f8e6249809660ff2ec3ad735 moved disk_get_part() in front of recursive get on the whole disk, which caused removable devices to try disk_get_part() before rescanning after a new media is inserted, which might fail legit open attempts or give the old partition. This patch fixes the problem by moving disk_get_part() after __blkdev_get() on the whole disk. This problem was spotted by Borislav Petkov.

2008-11-06generic-ipi: fix the smp_mb() placementSuresh Siddha
smp_mb() is needed (to make the memory operations visible globally) before sending the ipi on the sender and the receiver (on Alpha atleast) needs smp_read_barrier_depends() in the handler before reading the call_single_queue list in a lock-free fashion. On x86, x2apic mode register accesses for sending IPI's don't have serializing semantics. So the need for smp_mb() before sending the IPI becomes more critical in x2apic mode. Remove the unnecessary smp_mb() in csd_flag_wait(), as the presence of that smp_mb() doesn't mean anything on the sender, when the ipi receiver is not doing any thing special (like memory fence) after clearing the CSD_FLAG_WAIT.

2008-11-06block: add timer on blkdev_dequeue_request() not elv_next_request()Tejun Heo
Block queue supports two usage models - one where block driver peeks at the front of queue using elv_next_request(), processes it and finishes it and the other where block driver peeks at the front of queue, dequeue the request using blkdev_dequeue_request() and finishes it. The latter is more flexible as it allows the driver to process multiple commands concurrently. These two inconsistent usage models affect the block layer implementation confusing. For some, elv_next_request() is considered the issue point while others consider blkdev_dequeue_request() the issue point. Till now the inconsistency mostly affect only accounting, so it didn't really break anything seriously; however, with block layer timeout, this inconsistency hits hard. Block layer considers elv_next_request() the issue point and adds timer but SCSI layer thinks it was just peeking and when the request can't process the command right away, it's just left there without further processing. This makes the request dangling on the timer list and, when the timer goes off, the request which the SCSI layer and below think is still on the block queue ends up in the EH queue, causing various problems - EH hang (failed count goes over busy count and EH never wakes up), WARN_ON() and oopses as low level driver trying to handle the unknown command, etc. depending on the timing. As SCSI midlayer is the only user of block layer timer at the moment, moving blk_add_timer() to elv_dequeue_request() fixes the problem; however, this two usage models definitely need to be cleaned up in the future.
