2008-03-06slab: NUMA slab allocator migration bugfixJoe Korty
NUMA slab allocator cpu migration bugfix The NUMA slab allocator (specifically, cache_alloc_refill) is not refreshing its local copies of what cpu and what numa node it is on, when it drops and reacquires the irq block that it inherited from its caller. As a result those values become invalid if an attempt to migrate the process to another numa node occured while the irq block had been dropped. The solution is to make cache_alloc_refill reload these variables whenever it drops and reacquires the irq block. The error is very difficult to hit. When it does occur, one gets the following oops + stack traceback bits in check_spinlock_acquired: kernel BUG at mm/slab.c:2417 cache_alloc_refill+0xe6 kmem_cache_alloc+0xd0 ... This patch was developed against 2.6.23, ported to and compiled-tested only against 2.6.25-rc4. Signed-off-by: Joe Korty <joe.korty@ccur.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>
2008-03-06slub: Do not cross cacheline boundaries for very small objectsNick Piggin
SLUB should pack even small objects nicely into cachelines if that is what has been asked for. Use the same algorithm as SLAB for this. The effect of this patch for a system with a cacheline size of 64 bytes is that the 24 byte sized slab caches will now put exactly 2 objects into a cacheline instead of 3 with some overlap into the next cacheline. This reduces the object density in a 4k slab from 170 to 128 objects (same as SLAB). Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>

2008-03-06NFS: use new LSM interfaces to explicitly set mount optionsEric Paris
NFS and SELinux worked together previously because SELinux had NFS specific knowledge built in. This design was approved by both groups back in 2004 but the recent NFS changes to use nfs_parsed_mount_data and the usage of nfs_clone_mount_data showed this to be a poor fragile solution. This patch fixes the NFS functionality regression by making use of the new LSM interfaces to allow an FS to explicitly set its own mount options. The explicit setting of mount options is done in the nfs get_sb functions which are called before the generic vfs hooks try to set mount options for filesystems which use text mount data. This does not currently support NFSv4 as that functionality did not exist in previous kernels and thus there is no regression. I will be adding the needed code, which I believe to be the exact same as the v3 code, in nfs4_get_sb for 2.6.26.

2008-03-06LSM/SELinux: Interfaces to allow FS to control mount optionsEric Paris
Introduce new LSM interfaces to allow an FS to deal with their own mount options. This includes a new string parsing function exported from the LSM that an FS can use to get a security data blob and a new security data blob. This is particularly useful for an FS which uses binary mount data, like NFS, which does not pass strings into the vfs to be handled by the loaded LSM. Also fix a BUG() in both SELinux and SMACK when dealing with binary mount data. If the binary mount data is less than one page the copy_page() in security_sb_copy_data() can cause an illegal page fault and boom. Remove all NFSisms from the SELinux code since they were broken by past NFS changes.

blocking/unblocking For qla4xxx, we could be starting a session, but some error (network, target, IO from a device that got started, etc) could cause the session to fail and curring the block/unblock and state manipulation could race with each other.

2008-03-05[S390] Fix IPL from NSS.Heiko Carstens
IPL from NSS didn't work because the memory detection routine omits any memory sections with a size lower than what MAX_ORDER defines. This causes the detection routine to skip the first memory segment which has a size of 1MB. Which later on will let the kernel think that there is no memory available at all. Since in addition the z/VM memory increment size is 1MB force MAX_ORDER to be 9, so we can support 1MB segments.

2008-03-04[IPCONFIG]: The kernel gets no IP from some DHCP serversStephen Hemminger
From: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org> Based upon a patch by Marcel Wappler: This patch fixes a DHCP issue of the kernel: some DHCP servers (i.e. in the Linksys WRT54Gv5) are very strict about the contents of the DHCPDISCOVER packet they receive from clients. Table 5 in RFC2131 page 36 requests the fields 'ciaddr' and 'siaddr' MUST be set to '0'. These DHCP servers ignore Linux kernel's DHCP discovery packets with these two fields set to '255.255.255.255' (in contrast to popular DHCP clients, such as 'dhclient' or 'udhcpc'). This leads to a not booting system. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-03-04hugetlb: fix pool shrinking while in restricted cpusetNishanth Aravamudan
Adam Litke noticed that currently we grow the hugepage pool independent of any cpuset the running process may be in, but when shrinking the pool, the cpuset is checked. This leads to inconsistency when shrinking the pool in a restricted cpuset -- an administrator may have been able to grow the pool on a node restricted by a containing cpuset, but they cannot shrink it there. There are two options: either prevent growing of the pool outside of the cpuset or allow shrinking outside of the cpuset. >From previous discussions on linux-mm, /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages is an administrative interface that should not be restricted by cpusets. So allow shrinking the pool by removing pages from nodes outside of current's cpuset.

2008-03-04hugetlb: close a difficult to trigger reservation raceAdam Litke
A hugetlb reservation may be inadequately backed in the event of racing allocations and frees when utilizing surplus huge pages. Consider the following series of events in processes A and B: A) Allocates some surplus pages to satisfy a reservation B) Frees some huge pages A) A notices the extra free pages and drops hugetlb_lock to free some of its surplus pages back to the buddy allocator. B) Allocates some huge pages A) Reacquires hugetlb_lock and returns from gather_surplus_huge_pages() Avoid this by commiting the reservation after pages have been allocated but before dropping the lock to free excess pages. For parity, release the reservation in return_unused_surplus_pages(). This patch also corrects the cpuset_mems_nr() error path in hugetlb_acct_memory(). If the cpuset check fails, uncommit the reservation, but also be sure to return any surplus huge pages that may have been allocated to back the failed reservation. Thanks to Andy Whitcroft for discovering this.
