cwq->nr_active is used to keep track of how many work items are active
for the cpu workqueue, where 'active' is defined as either pending on
global worklist or executing. This is used to implement the
max_active limit and workqueue freezing. If a work item is queued
after nr_active has already reached max_active, the work item doesn't
increment nr_active and is put on the delayed queue and gets activated
later as previous active work items retire.
try_to_grab_pending() which is used in the cancellation path
unconditionally decremented nr_active whether the work item being
cancelled is currently active or delayed, so cancelling a delayed work
item makes nr_active underflow. This breaks max_active enforcement
and triggers BUG_ON() in destroy_workqueue() later on.
This patch fixes this bug by adding a flag WORK_STRUCT_DELAYED, which
is set while a work item in on the delayed list and making
try_to_grab_pending() decrement nr_active iff the work item is
currently active.
The addition of the flag enlarges cwq alignment to 256 bytes which is
getting a bit too large. It's scheduled to be reduced back to 128
bytes by merging WORK_STRUCT_PENDING and WORK_STRUCT_CWQ in the next
devel cycle.

It is possible that the BIOS will not grant control of all _OSC
features requested via acpi_pci_osc_control_set(), so it is
recommended to negotiate the final set of _OSC features with the
query flag set before calling _OSC to request control of these
features.
To implement it, rework acpi_pci_osc_control_set() so that the caller
can specify the mask of _OSC control bits to negotiate and the mask
of _OSC control bits that are absolutely necessary to it. Then,
acpi_pci_osc_control_set() will run _OSC queries in a loop until
the mask of _OSC control bits returned by the BIOS is equal to the
mask passed to it. Also, before running the _OSC request
acpi_pci_osc_control_set() will check if the caller's required
control bits are present in the final mask.
Using this mechanism we will be able to avoid situations in which the
BIOS doesn't grant control of certain _OSC features, because they
depend on some other _OSC features that have not been requested.

Now that the worklist is global, having works pending after wq
destruction can easily lead to oops and destroy_workqueue() have
several BUG_ON()s to catch these cases. Unfortunately, BUG_ON()
doesn't tell much about how the work became pending after the final
flush_workqueue().
This patch adds WQ_DYING which is set before the final flush begins.
If a work is requested to be queued on a dying workqueue,
WARN_ON_ONCE() is triggered and the request is ignored. This clearly
indicates which caller is trying to queue a work on a dying workqueue
and keeps the system working in most cases.
Locking rule comment is updated such that the 'I' rule includes
modifying the field from destruction path.

Currently drivers must do an elevator_exit() + elevator_init()
to switch IO schedulers. There are a few problems with this:
- Since commit 1abec4fdbb,
elevator_init() requires a zeroed out q->elevator
pointer. The two existing in-kernel users don't do that.
- It will only work at initialization time, since using the
above two-staged construct does not properly quisce the queue.
So add elevator_change() which takes care of this, and convert
the elv_iosched_store() sysfs interface to use this helper as well.

When an fanotify listener is closing it may cause a deadlock between the
listener and the original task doing an fs operation. If the original task
is waiting for a permissions response it will be holding the srcu lock. The
listener cannot clean up and exit until after that srcu lock is syncronized.
Thus deadlock. The fix introduced here is to stop accepting new permissions
events when a listener is shutting down and to grant permission for all
outstanding events. Thus the original task will eventually release the srcu
lock and the listener can complete shutdown.

Implement a small-memory-footprint uniprocessor-only implementation of
preemptible RCU. This implementation uses but a single blocked-tasks
list rather than the combinatorial number used per leaf rcu_node by
TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, which reduces memory consumption and greatly simplifies
processing. This version also takes advantage of uniprocessor execution
to accelerate grace periods in the case where there are no readers.
The general design is otherwise broadly similar to that of TREE_PREEMPT_RCU.
This implementation is a step towards having RCU implementation driven
off of the SMP and PREEMPT kernel configuration variables, which can
happen once this implementation has accumulated sufficient experience.
Removed ACCESS_ONCE() from __rcu_read_unlock() and added barrier() as
suggested by Steve Rostedt in order to avoid the compiler-reordering
issue noted by Mathieu Desnoyers (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/8/16/183).
As can be seen below, CONFIG_TINY_PREEMPT_RCU represents almost 5Kbyte
savings compared to CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. Of course, for non-real-time
workloads, CONFIG_TINY_RCU is even better.

This annotation permits sparse to check for correct use of RCU-protected

directly (as opposed to via rcu_dereference(), rcu_assign_pointer(),
or one of their variants), sparse can be made to complain. To enable
such complaints, use the new default-disabled CONFIG_SPARSE_RCU_POINTER
kernel configuration option. Please note that these sparse complaints are
intended to be a debugging aid, -not- a code-style-enforcement mechanism.
There are special rcu_dereference_protected() and rcu_access_pointer()
accessors for use when RCU read-side protection is not required, for
example, when no other CPU has access to the data structure in question
or while the current CPU hold the update-side lock.

Improve scalability of files_lock by adding per-cpu, per-sb files lists,
protected with an lglock. The lglock provides fast access to the per-cpu lists
to add and remove files. It also provides a snapshot of all the per-cpu lists
(although this is very slow).
One difficulty with this approach is that a file can be removed from the list
by another CPU. We must track which per-cpu list the file is on with a new
variale in the file struct (packed into a hole on 64-bit archs). Scalability
could suffer if files are frequently removed from different cpu's list.
However loads with frequent removal of files imply short interval between
adding and removing the files, and the scheduler attempts to avoid moving
processes too far away. Also, even in the case of cross-CPU removal, the
hardware has much more opportunity to parallelise cacheline transfers with N
cachelines than with 1.
A worst-case test of 1 CPU allocating files subsequently being freed by N CPUs
degenerates to contending on a single lock, which is no worse than before. When
more than one CPU are allocating files, even if they are always freed by
different CPUs, there will be more parallelism than the single-lock case.
Testing results:
On a 2 socket, 8 core opteron, I measure the number of times the lock is taken
to remove the file, the number of times it is removed by the same CPU that
added it, and the number of times it is removed by the same node that added it.
Booting: locks= 25049 cpu-hits= 23174 (92.5%) node-hits= 23945 (95.6%)
kbuild -j16 locks=2281913 cpu-hits=2208126 (96.8%) node-hits=2252674 (98.7%)
dbench 64 locks=4306582 cpu-hits=4287247 (99.6%) node-hits=4299527 (99.8%)
So a file is removed from the same CPU it was added by over 90% of the time.
It remains within the same node 95% of the time.

So significantly less CPU time spent in kernel code, higher idle time and
slightly higher throughput.
Single threaded performance difference was within the noise of microbenchmarks.
That is not to say penalty does not exist, the code is larger and more memory

lglock: introduce special lglock and brlock spin locks
This patch introduces "local-global" locks (lglocks). These can be used to:
- Provide fast exclusive access to per-CPU data, with exclusive access to
another CPU's data allowed but possibly subject to contention, and to provide
very slow exclusive access to all per-CPU data.
- Or to provide very fast and scalable read serialisation, and to provide
very slow exclusive serialisation of data (not necessarily per-CPU data).
Brlocks are also implemented as a short-hand notation for the latter use
case.
Thanks to Paul for local/global naming convention.

tty: fix fu_list abuse
tty code abuses fu_list, which causes a bug in remount,ro handling.
If a tty device node is opened on a filesystem, then the last link to the inode
removed, the filesystem will be allowed to be remounted readonly. This is
because fs_may_remount_ro does not find the 0 link tty inode on the file sb
list (because the tty code incorrectly removed it to use for its own purpose).
This can result in a filesystem with errors after it is marked "clean".
Taking idea from Christoph's initial patch, allocate a tty private struct
at file->private_data and put our required list fields in there, linking
file and tty. This makes tty nodes behave the same way as other device nodes
and avoid meddling with the vfs, and avoids this bug.
The error handling is not trivial in the tty code, so for this bugfix, I take
the simple approach of using __GFP_NOFAIL and don't worry about memory errors.
This is not a problem because our allocator doesn't fail small allocs as a rule
anyway. So proper error handling is left as an exercise for tty hackers.
[ Arguably filesystem's device inode would ideally be divorced from the
driver's pseudo inode when it is opened, but in practice it's not clear whether
that will ever be worth implementing. ]

fs: fs_struct rwlock to spinlock
struct fs_struct.lock is an rwlock with the read-side used to protect root and
pwd members while taking references to them. Taking a reference to a path
typically requires just 2 atomic ops, so the critical section is very small.
Parallel read-side operations would have cacheline contention on the lock, the
dentry, and the vfsmount cachelines, so the rwlock is unlikely to ever give a
real parallelism increase.
Replace it with a spinlock to avoid one or two atomic operations in typical
path lookup fastpath.

These flags aren't real I/O types, but tell ll_rw_block to always
lock the buffer instead of giving up on a failed trylock.
Instead add a new write_dirty_buffer helper that implements this semantic
and use it from the existing SWRITE* callers. Note that the ll_rw_block
code had a bug where it didn't promote WRITE_SYNC_PLUG properly, which
this patch fixes.

This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for
the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to. This is
because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to
copy_strings_kernel(). A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename
pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().
do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as
const should be fine.

Add support for exposing all GPIO pins as analog voltages. Though this is
not an ideal use of the chip, some hardware engineers may decide that the
LTC4245 meets their design requirements when studying the datasheet.
The GPIO pins are sampled in round-robin fashion, meaning that a slow
reader will see stale data. A userspace application can detect this,
because it will get -EAGAIN when reading from a sysfs file which contains
stale data.
Users can choose to use this feature on a per-chip basis by using either
platform data or the OF device tree (where applicable).

SD/MMC cards tend to support an erase operation. In addition, eMMC v4.4
cards can support secure erase, trim and secure trim operations that are
all variants of the basic erase command.
SD/MMC device attributes "erase_size" and "preferred_erase_size" have been
added.
"erase_size" is the minimum size, in bytes, of an erase operation. For
MMC, "erase_size" is the erase group size reported by the card. Note that
"erase_size" does not apply to trim or secure trim operations where the
minimum size is always one 512 byte sector. For SD, "erase_size" is 512
if the card is block-addressed, 0 otherwise.
SD/MMC cards can erase an arbitrarily large area up to and
including the whole card. When erasing a large area it may
be desirable to do it in smaller chunks for three reasons:
1. A single erase command will make all other I/O on the card
wait. This is not a problem if the whole card is being erased, but
erasing one partition will make I/O for another partition on the
same card wait for the duration of the erase - which could be a
several minutes.
2. To be able to inform the user of erase progress.
3. The erase timeout becomes too large to be very useful.
Because the erase timeout contains a margin which is multiplied by
the size of the erase area, the value can end up being several
minutes for large areas.
"erase_size" is not the most efficient unit to erase (especially for SD
where it is just one sector), hence "preferred_erase_size" provides a good
chunk size for erasing large areas.
For MMC, "preferred_erase_size" is the high-capacity erase size if a card
specifies one, otherwise it is based on the capacity of the card.
For SD, "preferred_erase_size" is the allocation unit size specified by
the card.
"preferred_erase_size" is in bytes.

Commit 83ba7b071f ("writeback: simplify the write back thread queue")
broke writeback_in_progress() as in that commit we started to remove work
items from the list at the moment we start working on them and not at the
moment they are finished. Thus if the flusher thread was doing some work
but there was no other work queued, writeback_in_progress() returned
false. This could in particular cause unnecessary queueing of background
writeback from balance_dirty_pages() or writeout work from
writeback_sb_if_idle().
This patch fixes the problem by introducing a bit in the bdi state which
indicates that the flusher thread is processing some work and uses this
bit for writeback_in_progress() test.
NOTE: Both callsites of writeback_in_progress() (namely,
writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle() and balance_dirty_pages()) would actually
need a different information than what writeback_in_progress() provides.
They would need to know whether *the kind of writeback they are going to
submit* is already queued. But this information isn't that simple to
provide so let's fix writeback_in_progress() for the time being.

Allow discards to be passed through to linear mappings if at least one
underlying device supports it. Discards will be forwarded only to
devices that support them.
A target that supports discards should set num_discard_requests to
indicate how many times each discard request must be submitted to it.
Verify table's underlying devices support discards prior to setting the
associated DM device as capable of discards (via QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD).

Determine whether a mapped device is bio-based or request-based when
loading its first (inactive) table and don't allow that to be changed
later.
This patch performs different device initialisation in each of the two
cases. (We don't think it's necessary to add code to support changing
between the two types.)
Allowed md->type transitions:
DM_TYPE_NONE to DM_TYPE_BIO_BASED
DM_TYPE_NONE to DM_TYPE_REQUEST_BASED
We now prevent table_load from replacing the inactive table with a
conflicting type of table even after an explicit table_clear.
Introduce 'type_lock' into the struct mapped_device to protect md->type
and to prepare for the next patch that will change the queue
initialization and allocate memory while md->type_lock is held.

This patch changes to call to panic_blink_enter() between every mdelay and

Now each architecture has the own dma_get_cache_alignment implementation.
dma_get_cache_alignment returns the minimum DMA alignment. Architectures
define it as ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN (it's used to make sure that malloc'ed
buffer is DMA-safe; the buffer doesn't share a cache with the others). So
we can unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations.
This patch:
dma_get_cache_alignment() needs to know if an architecture defines
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN or not (needs to know if architecture has DMA
alignment restriction). However, slab.h define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN if
architectures doesn't define it.
Let's rename ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN.
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is used only in the internals of slab/slob/slub

This patch adds support for configuring these pullups via platform data.
A new member ("input_pullup_active") to the platform data struct is
introduced. A set bit in this variable activates the pullups while the
respective port is in input mode. This is a compatible enhancement since
unset bits lead to disables pullups which was the default in the original
driver.
_Note_: the 4 lowest bits in "input_pullup_active" are unused because the
first 4 ports of the controller are not used, too.

There are some chips (like TI WL12xx series) that can be interfaced over
SDIO but don't support the SDIO specification, meaning that they are
missing CIA (Common I/O Area) with all it's registers. Current Linux SDIO
implementation relies on those registers to identify and configure the
card, so non-standard cards can not function and cause lots of warnings
from the core when it reads invalid data from non-existent registers.
After this patch, init_card() host callback can now set new quirk
MMC_QUIRK_NONSTD_SDIO, which means that SDIO core should not try to access
any standard SDIO registers and rely on init_card() to fill all SDIO
structures instead. As those cards are usually embedded chips, all the
required information can be obtained from machine board files by the host
driver when it's called through init_card() callback.

If you don't use CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME, as soon as you attempt to
suspend, the card will be removed, therefore this patch doesn't change the
behavior of this option.
However the removal will be done by pm notifier, which runs while
userspace is still not frozen and thus can freely use del_gendisk, without
the risk of deadlock which would happen otherwise.
Card detect workqueue is now disabled while userspace is frozen, Therefore
if you do use CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME, and remove the card during
suspend, the removal will be detected as soon as userspace is unfrozen,
again at the moment it is safe to call del_gendisk.
Tested with and without CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME with suspend and hibernate.

This is more kernel-ish, saves some space, and also allows us to
expand the ops without breaking all the callers who are happy for the
new members to be NULL.
The few places which defined their own param types are changed to the
new scheme (more which crept in recently fixed in following patches).
Since we're touching them anyway, we change get() and set() to take a
const struct kernel_param (which they really are). This causes some
harmless warnings until we fix them (in following patches).
To reduce churn, module_param_call creates the ops struct so the callers
don't have to change (and casts the functions to reduce warnings).
The modern version which takes an ops struct is called module_param_cb.

This patch adds reverse mapping feature for hugepage by introducing
mapcount for shared/private-mapped hugepage and anon_vma for
private-mapped hugepage.
While hugepage is not currently swappable, reverse mapping can be useful
for memory error handler.
Without this patch, memory error handler cannot identify processes
using the bad hugepage nor unmap it from them. That is:
- for shared hugepage:
we can collect processes using a hugepage through pagecache,
but can not unmap the hugepage because of the lack of mapcount.
- for privately mapped hugepage:
we can neither collect processes nor unmap the hugepage.
This patch solves these problems.
This patch include the bug fix given by commit 23be7468e8, so reverts it.
Dependency:

This patch (as1395) adds code to hcd_pci_suspend() for handling wakeup
races. This is another general race pattern, similar to the "open
vs. unregister" race we're all familiar with. Here, the race is
between suspending a device and receiving a wakeup request from one of
the device's suspended children.
In particular, if a root-hub wakeup is requested at about the same
time as the corresponding USB controller is suspended, and if the
controller is enabled for wakeup, then the controller should either
fail to suspend or else wake right back up again.
During system sleep this won't happen very much, especially since host
controllers generally aren't enabled for wakeup during sleep. However
it is definitely an issue for runtime PM. Something like this will be
needed to prevent the controller from autosuspending while waiting for
a root-hub resume to take place. (That is, in fact, the common case,
for which there is an extra test.)

This patch (as1393) converts several of the single-bit fields in
struct usb_hcd to atomic flags. This is for safety's sake; not all
CPUs can update bitfield values atomically, and these flags are used
in multiple contexts.
The flag fields that are set only during registration or removal can
remain as they are, since non-atomic accesses at those times will not
cause any problems.
(Strictly speaking, the authorized_default flag should become atomic
as well. I didn't bother with it because it gets changed only via
sysfs. It can be done later, if anyone wants.)

This patch (as1390) fixes a problem that crops up when a UHCI host
controller is unbound from uhci-hcd while there are still some active
URBs. The URBs have to be unlinked when the root hub is unregistered,
and uhci-hcd relies upon root-hub status polls as part of its
unlinking procedure. But usb_hcd_poll_rh_status() won't make those
status calls if hcd->rh_registered is clear, and the flag is cleared
_before_ the unregistration takes place.
Since hcd->rh_registered is used for other things and needs to be
cleared early, the solution is to add a new flag (rh_pollable) and use
it instead. It gets cleared _after_ the root hub is unregistered.
Now that the status polls don't end too soon, we have to make sure
they also don't occur too late -- after the root hub's usb_device
structure or the HCD's private structures are deallocated. Therefore
the patch adds usb_get_device() and usb_put_device() calls to protect
the root hub structure, and it adds an extra del_timer_sync() to
prevent the root-hub timer from causing an unexpected status poll.
This additional complexity would not be needed if the HCD framework
had provided separate stop() and release() callbacks instead of just
stop(). This lack could be fixed at some future time (although it
would require changes to every host controller driver); when that
happens this patch won't be needed any more.

This is a PCI & UART driver, which suppors both PIO and DMA mode
UART operation. It has 3 identical UART ports and one internal
DMA controller.
Current FW will export 4 pci devices for hsu: 3 uart ports and 1
dma controller, each has one IRQ line. And we need to discuss the
device model, one PCI device covering whole HSU should be a better
model, but there is a problem of how to export the 4 IRQs info
Current driver set the highest baud rate to 2746800bps, which is
easy to scale down to 115200/230400.... To suport higher baud rate,
we need add special process, change DLAB/DLH/PS/DIV/MUL registers
all together.

modem connected to HSU port 0. Will test more when there is right

It seems that currently ASYNC_FLAGS is one bit short of covering all the
bits of the ASYNC user flags. In particular it does not cover the
ASYNC_AUTOPROBE bit.
ASYNCB_LAST_USER and ASYNCB_AUTOPROBE are both equal to 15.
Therefore:
ASYNC_AUTOPROBE = 1000 0000 0000 0000
ASYNC_FLAGS = 0111 1111 1111 1111
So ASYNC_FLAGS is not covering the ASYNC_AUTOPROBE bit.
This patch fixes the issue and with the patch the values will be:
ASYNC_AUTOPROBE = 1000 0000 0000 0000
ASYNC_FLAGS = 1111 1111 1111 1111
As a side note, doing a "git grep" I didn't find any use of
ASYNC_AUTOPROBE or ASYNCB_AUTOPROBE in the kernel, besides this include

Jesse's initial patch commit said:
"At panic time (i.e. when oops_in_progress is set) we should try a bit
harder to update the screen and make sure output gets to the VT, since
some drivers are capable of flipping back to it.
So make sure we try to unblank and update the display if called from a
panic context."
I've enhanced this to add a flag to the vc that console layer can set to
indicate they want this behaviour to occur. This also adds support to
fbcon for that flag and adds an fb flag for drivers to indicate they want
to use the support. It enables this for KMS drivers.

This patch is against the 2.6.34 source.
Paraphrased from the 1989 BSD patch by David Borman @ cray.com:
These are the changes needed for the kernel to support
LINEMODE in the server.
There is a new bit in the termios local flag word, EXTPROC.
When this bit is set, several aspects of the terminal driver
are disabled. Input line editing, character echo, and mapping
of signals are all disabled. This allows the telnetd to turn
off these functions when in linemode, but still keep track of
what state the user wants the terminal to be in.
New ioctl:
TIOCSIG Generate a signal to processes in the
current process group of the pty.
There is a new mode for packet driver, the TIOCPKT_IOCTL bit.
When packet mode is turned on in the pty, and the EXTPROC bit
is set, then whenever the state of the pty is changed, the
next read on the master side of the pty will have the TIOCPKT_IOCTL
bit set. This allows the process on the server side of the pty
to know when the state of the terminal has changed; it can then
issue the appropriate ioctl to retrieve the new state.
Since the original BSD patches accompanied the source code for telnet
I've left that reference here, but obviously the feature is useful for
any remote terminal protocol, including ssh.
The corresponding feature has existed in the BSD tty driver since 1989.
For historical reference, a good copy of the relevant files can be found
here:

On some SoC chips, HW resources may be in use during any particular idle
period. As a consequence, the cpuidle states that the SoC is safe to
enter can change from idle period to idle period. In addition, the
latency and threshold of each cpuidle state can vary, depending on the
operating condition when the CPU becomes idle, e.g. the current cpu
frequency, the current state of the HW blocks, etc.
cpuidle core and the menu governor, in the current form, are geared
towards cpuidle states that are static, i.e. the availabiltiy of the
states, their latencies, their thresholds are non-changing during run
time. cpuidle does not provide any hook that cpuidle drivers can use to
adjust those values on the fly for the current idle period before the menu
governor selects the target cpuidle state.
This patch extends cpuidle core and the menu governor to handle states
that are dynamic. There are three additions in the patch and the patch
maintains backwards-compatibility with existing cpuidle drivers.
1) add prepare() to struct cpuidle_device. A cpuidle driver can hook
into the callback and cpuidle will call prepare() before calling the
governor's select function. The callback gives the cpuidle driver a
chance to update the dynamic information of the cpuidle states for the
current idle period, e.g. state availability, latencies, thresholds,
power values, etc.
2) add CPUIDLE_FLAG_IGNORE as one of the state flags. In the prepare()
function, a cpuidle driver can set/clear the flag to indicate to the
menu governor whether a cpuidle state should be ignored, i.e. not
available, during the current idle period.
3) add power_specified bit to struct cpuidle_device. The menu governor
currently assumes that the cpuidle states are arranged in the order of
increasing latency, threshold, and power savings. This is true or can
be made true for static states. Once the state parameters are dynamic,
the latencies, thresholds, and power savings for the cpuidle states can
increase or decrease by different amounts from idle period to idle
period. So the assumption of increasing latency, threshold, and power
savings from Cn to C(n+1) can no longer be guaranteed.
It can be straightforward to calculate the power consumption of each
available state and to specify it in power_usage for the idle period.
Using the power_usage fields, the menu governor then selects the state
that has the lowest power consumption and that still satisfies all other
critieria. The power_specified bit defaults to 0. For existing cpuidle
drivers, cpuidle detects that power_specified is 0 and fills in a dummy
set of power_usage values.

When taking a memory snapshot in hibernate_snapshot(), all (directly
called) memory allocations use GFP_ATOMIC. Hence swap misusage during
hibernation never occurs.
But from a pessimistic point of view, there is no guarantee that no page
allcation has __GFP_WAIT. It is better to have a global indication "we
enter hibernation, don't use swap!".
This patch tries to freeze new-swap-allocation during hibernation. (All
user processes are frozenm so swapin is not a concern).
This way, no updates will happen to swap_map[] between
hibernate_snapshot() and save_image(). Swap is thawed when swsusp_free()
is called. We can be assured that swap corruption will not occur.

On swapin it is fairly common for a page to be owned exclusively by one
process. In that case we want to add the page to the anon_vma of that
process's VMA, instead of to the root anon_vma.

to do.

This a complete rewrite of the oom killer's badness() heuristic which is
used to determine which task to kill in oom conditions. The goal is to
make it as simple and predictable as possible so the results are better
understood and we end up killing the task which will lead to the most
memory freeing while still respecting the fine-tuning from userspace.
Instead of basing the heuristic on mm->total_vm for each task, the task's
rss and swap space is used instead. This is a better indication of the
amount of memory that will be freeable if the oom killed task is chosen
and subsequently exits. This helps specifically in cases where KDE or
GNOME is chosen for oom kill on desktop systems instead of a memory
hogging task.
The baseline for the heuristic is a proportion of memory that each task is
currently using in memory plus swap compared to the amount of "allowable"
memory. "Allowable," in this sense, means the system-wide resources for
unconstrained oom conditions, the set of mempolicy nodes, the mems
attached to current's cpuset, or a memory controller's limit. The
proportion is given on a scale of 0 (never kill) to 1000 (always kill),
roughly meaning that if a task has a badness() score of 500 that the task
consumes approximately 50% of allowable memory resident in RAM or in swap
space.
The proportion is always relative to the amount of "allowable" memory and
not the total amount of RAM systemwide so that mempolicies and cpusets may
operate in isolation; they shall not need to know the true size of the
machine on which they are running if they are bound to a specific set of
nodes or mems, respectively.
Root tasks are given 3% extra memory just like __vm_enough_memory()
provides in LSMs. In the event of two tasks consuming similar amounts of
memory, it is generally better to save root's task.
Because of the change in the badness() heuristic's baseline, it is also
necessary to introduce a new user interface to tune it. It's not possible
to redefine the meaning of /proc/pid/oom_adj with a new scale since the
ABI cannot be changed for backward compatability. Instead, a new tunable,
/proc/pid/oom_score_adj, is added that ranges from -1000 to +1000. It may
be used to polarize the heuristic such that certain tasks are never
considered for oom kill while others may always be considered. The value
is added directly into the badness() score so a value of -500, for
example, means to discount 50% of its memory consumption in comparison to
other tasks either on the system, bound to the mempolicy, in the cpuset,
or sharing the same memory controller.
/proc/pid/oom_adj is changed so that its meaning is rescaled into the
units used by /proc/pid/oom_score_adj, and vice versa. Changing one of
these per-task tunables will rescale the value of the other to an
equivalent meaning. Although /proc/pid/oom_adj was originally defined as
a bitshift on the badness score, it now shares the same linear growth as
/proc/pid/oom_score_adj but with different granularity. This is required
so the ABI is not broken with userspace applications and allows oom_adj to
be deprecated for future removal.

Since 2.6.28 zone->prev_priority is unused. Then it can be removed
safely. It reduce stack usage slightly.
Now I have to say that I'm sorry. 2 years ago, I thought prev_priority
can be integrate again, it's useful. but four (or more) times trying
haven't got good performance number. Thus I give up such approach.
The rest of this changelog is notes on prev_priority and why it existed in
the first place and why it might be not necessary any more. This information
is based heavily on discussions between Andrew Morton, Rik van Riel and
Kosaki Motohiro who is heavily quotes from.
Historically prev_priority was important because it determined when the VM
would start unmapping PTE pages. i.e. there are no balances of note within
the VM, Anon vs File and Mapped vs Unmapped. Without prev_priority, there
is a potential risk of unnecessarily increasing minor faults as a large
amount of read activity of use-once pages could push mapped pages to the
end of the LRU and get unmapped.
There is no proof this is still a problem but currently it is not considered
to be. Active files are not deactivated if the active file list is smaller
than the inactive list reducing the liklihood that file-mapped pages are
being pushed off the LRU and referenced executable pages are kept on the
active list to avoid them getting pushed out by read activity.
Even if it is a problem, prev_priority prev_priority wouldn't works
nowadays. First of all, current vmscan still a lot of UP centric code. it
expose some weakness on some dozens CPUs machine. I think we need more and
more improvement.
The problem is, current vmscan mix up per-system-pressure, per-zone-pressure
and per-task-pressure a bit. example, prev_priority try to boost priority to
other concurrent priority. but if the another task have mempolicy restriction,
it is unnecessary, but also makes wrong big latency and exceeding reclaim.
per-task based priority + prev_priority adjustment make the emulation of
per-system pressure. but it have two issue 1) too rough and brutal emulation
2) we need per-zone pressure, not per-system.
Another example, currently DEF_PRIORITY is 12. it mean the lru rotate about
2 cycle (1/4096 + 1/2048 + 1/1024 + .. + 1) before invoking OOM-Killer.
but if 10,0000 thrreads enter DEF_PRIORITY reclaim at the same time, the
system have higher memory pressure than priority==0 (1/4096*10,000 > 2).
prev_priority can't solve such multithreads workload issue. In other word,
prev_priority concept assume the sysmtem don't have lots threads."

We try to avoid livelocks of writeback when some steadily creates dirty
pages in a mapping we are writing out. For memory-cleaning writeback,
using nr_to_write works reasonably well but we cannot really use it for
data integrity writeback. This patch tries to solve the problem.
The idea is simple: Tag all pages that should be written back with a
special tag (TOWRITE) in the radix tree. This can be done rather quickly
and thus livelocks should not happen in practice. Then we start doing the
hard work of locking pages and sending them to disk only for those pages
that have TOWRITE tag set.
Note: Adding new radix tree tag grows radix tree node from 288 to 296
bytes for 32-bit archs and from 552 to 560 bytes for 64-bit archs.
However, the number of slab/slub items per page remains the same (13 and 7
respectively).

The new anon-vma code, was suboptimal and it lead to erratic invocation of
ksm_does_need_to_copy. That leads to host hangs or guest vnc lockup, or
weird behavior. It's unclear why ksm_does_need_to_copy is unstable but
the point is that when KSM is not in use, ksm_does_need_to_copy must never
run or we bounce pages for no good reason. I suspect the same hangs will
happen with KVM swaps. But this at least fixes the regression in the
new-anon-vma code and it only let KSM bugs triggers when KSM is in use.
The code in do_swap_page likely doesn't cope well with a not-swapcache,
especially the memcg code.

The current implementation of tmpfs is not scalable. We found that
stat_lock is contended by multiple threads when we need to get a new page,
leading to useless spinning inside this spin lock.
This patch makes use of the percpu_counter library to maintain local count
of used blocks to speed up getting and returning of pages. So the
acquisition of stat_lock is unnecessary for getting and returning blocks,
improving the performance of tmpfs on system with large number of cpus.
On a 4 socket 32 core NHM-EX system, we saw improvement of 270%.
The implementation below has a slight chance of race between threads
causing a slight overshoot of the maximum configured blocks. However, any
overshoot is small, and is bounded by the number of cpus. This happens
when the number of used blocks is slightly below the maximum configured
blocks when a thread checks the used block count, and another thread
allocates the last block before the current thread does. This should not
be a problem for tmpfs, as the overshoot is most likely to be a few blocks
and bounded. If a strict limit is really desired, then configured the max
blocks to be the limit less the number of cpus in system.

Add percpu_counter_compare that allows for a quick but accurate comparison
of percpu_counter with a given value.
A rough count is provided by the count field in percpu_counter structure,
without accounting for the other values stored in individual cpu counters.
The actual count is a sum of count and the cpu counters. However, count
field is never different from the actual value by a factor of
batch*num_online_cpu. We do not need to get actual count for comparison
if count is different from the given value by this factor and allows for
quick comparison without summing up all the per cpu counters.

There are various points in the oom killer where the kernel must determine
whether to panic or not. It's better to extract this to a helper function
to remove all the confusion as to its semantics.
Also fix a call to dump_header() where tasklist_lock is not read- locked,
as required.
There's no functional change with this patch.

The oom killer presently kills current whenever there is no more memory
free or reclaimable on its mempolicy's nodes. There is no guarantee that
current is a memory-hogging task or that killing it will free any
substantial amount of memory, however.
In such situations, it is better to scan the tasklist for nodes that are
allowed to allocate on current's set of nodes and kill the task with the
highest badness() score. This ensures that the most memory-hogging task,
or the one configured by the user with /proc/pid/oom_adj, is always
selected in such scenarios.

The comment suggests that when b_count equals zero it is calling
__wait_no_buffer to trigger some debug, but as there is no debug in
__wait_on_buffer the whole thing is redundant.
AFAICT from the git log this has been the case for at least 5 years, so
it seems safe just to remove this.

KSM reference counts can cause an anon_vma to exist after the processe it
belongs to have already exited. Because the anon_vma lock now lives in
the root anon_vma, we need to ensure that the root anon_vma stays around
until after all the "child" anon_vmas have been freed.
The obvious way to do this is to have a "child" anon_vma take a reference
to the root in anon_vma_fork. When the anon_vma is freed at munmap or
process exit, we drop the refcount in anon_vma_unlink and possibly free
the root anon_vma.
The KSM anon_vma reference count function also needs to be modified to
deal with the possibility of freeing 2 levels of anon_vma. The easiest
way to do this is to break out the KSM magic and make it generic.
When compiling without CONFIG_KSM, this code is compiled out.

Always (and only) lock the root (oldest) anon_vma whenever we do something
in an anon_vma. The recently introduced anon_vma scalability is due to
the rmap code scanning only the VMAs that need to be scanned. Many common
operations still took the anon_vma lock on the root anon_vma, so always
taking that lock is not expected to introduce any scalability issues.
However, always taking the same lock does mean we only need to take one
lock, which means rmap_walk on pages from any anon_vma in the vma is
excluded from occurring during an munmap, expand_stack or other operation
that needs to exclude rmap_walk and similar functions.
Also add the proper locking to vma_adjust.

Track the root (oldest) anon_vma in each anon_vma tree. Because we only
take the lock on the root anon_vma, we cannot use the lock on higher-up
anon_vmas to lock anything. This makes it impossible to do an indirect
lookup of the root anon_vma, since the data structures could go away from
under us.
However, a direct pointer is safe because the root anon_vma is always the
last one that gets freed on munmap or exit, by virtue of the same_vma list
order and unlink_anon_vmas walking the list forward.

kunmap_atomic() is currently at level -4 on Rusty's "Hard To Misuse"
list[1] ("Follow common convention and you'll get it wrong"), except in
some architectures when CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM is set[2][3].
kunmap() takes a pointer to a struct page; kunmap_atomic(), however, takes
takes a pointer to within the page itself. This seems to once in a while
trip people up (the convention they are following is the one from
kunmap()).
Make it much harder to misuse, by moving it to level 9 on Rusty's list[4]
("The compiler/linker won't let you get it wrong"). This is done by
refusing to build if the type of its first argument is a pointer to a
struct page.
The real kunmap_atomic() is renamed to kunmap_atomic_notypecheck()
(which is what you would call in case for some strange reason calling it
with a pointer to a struct page is not incorrect in your code).
The previous version of this patch was compile tested on x86-64.
[1] http://ozlabs.org/~rusty/index.cgi/tech/2008-04-01.html
[2] In these cases, it is at level 5, "Do it right or it will always
break at runtime."
[3] At least mips and powerpc look very similar, and sparc also seems to
share a common ancestor with both; there seems to be quite some
degree of copy-and-paste coding here. The include/asm/highmem.h file
for these three archs mention x86 CPUs at its top.

If sget() finds a matching superblock being set up, it'll
grab an active reference to it and grab s_umount. That's
fine - we'll wait for completion of foofs_get_sb() that way.
However, if said foofs_get_sb() fails we'll end up holding
the halfway-created superblock. deactivate_locked_super()
called by foofs_get_sb() will just unlock the sucker since
we are holding another active reference to it.
What we need is a way to tell if superblock has been successfully
set up. Unfortunately, neither ->s_root nor the check for
MS_ACTIVE quite fit. Cheap and easy way, suitable for backport:
new flag set by the (only) caller of ->get_sb(). If that flag
isn't present by the time sget() grabbed s_umount on preexisting
superblock it has found, it's seeing a stillborn and should
just bury it with deactivate_locked_super() (and repeat the search).
Longer term we want to set that flag in ->get_sb() instances (and
check for it to distinguish between "sget() found us a live sb"
and "sget() has allocated an sb, we need to set it up" in there,
instead of checking ->s_root as we do now).

add I_CLEAR instead of replacing I_FREEING with it. I_CLEAR is
equivalent to I_FREEING for almost all code looking at either;
it's there to keep track of having called clear_inode() exactly
once per inode lifetime, at some point after having set I_FREEING.
I_CLEAR and I_FREEING never get set at the same time with the
current code, so we can switch to setting i_flags to I_FREEING | I_CLEAR
instead of I_CLEAR without loss of information. As the result of
such change, checks become simpler and the amount of code that needs
to know about I_CLEAR shrinks a lot.

Make sure we check the truncate constraints early on in ->setattr by adding
those checks to inode_change_ok. Also clean up and document inode_change_ok
to make this obvious.
As a fallout we don't have to call inode_newsize_ok from simple_setsize and
simplify it down to a truncate_setsize which doesn't return an error. This
simplifies a lot of setattr implementations and means we use truncate_setsize
almost everywhere. Get rid of fat_setsize now that it's trivial and mark
ext2_setsize static to make the calling convention obvious.
Keep the inode_newsize_ok in vmtruncate for now as all callers need an
audit for its removal anyway.

needs a deeper audit, but that is left for later.

Replace inode_setattr with opencoded variants of it in all callers. This
moves the remaining call to vmtruncate into the filesystem methods where it
can be replaced with the proper truncate sequence.
In a few cases it was obvious that we would never end up calling vmtruncate
so it was left out in the opencoded variant:
spufs: explicitly checks for ATTR_SIZE earlier
btrfs,hugetlbfs,logfs,dlmfs: explicitly clears ATTR_SIZE earlier
ufs: contains an opencoded simple_seattr + truncate that sets the filesize just above

based on the delay it causes on the bulk data socket.
It has no userbase yet, and has been disabled by

This removes the now unused code.
The basic feature, namely using up "idle" bandwith
of network and disk IO subsystem, with minimal impact
to application IO, is being reimplemented differently.

Whe the first inode for a bdi is marked dirty, we wake up the bdi thread which
should take care of the periodic background write-out. However, the write-out
will actually start only 'dirty_writeback_interval' centisecs later, so we can
delay the wake-up.
This change was requested by Nick Piggin who pointed out that if we delay the
wake-up, we weed out 2 unnecessary contex switches, which matters because
'__mark_inode_dirty()' is a hot-path function.
This patch introduces a new function - 'bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed()', which
sets up a timer to wake-up the bdi thread and returns. So the wake-up is
delayed.
We also delete the timer in bdi threads just before writing-back. And
synchronously delete it when unregistering bdi. At the unregister point the bdi
does not have any users, so no one can arm it again.
Since now we take 'bdi->wb_lock' in the timer, which can execute in softirq
context, we have to use 'spin_lock_bh()' for 'bdi->wb_lock'. This patch makes
this change as well.
This patch also moves the 'bdi_wb_init()' function down in the file to avoid
forward-declaration of 'bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed()'.

Currently bdi threads use local variable 'last_active' which stores last time
when the bdi thread did some useful work. Move this local variable to 'struct
bdi_writeback'. This is just a preparation for the further patches which will
make the forker thread decide when bdi threads should be killed.

This patch simplifies bdi code a little by removing the 'pending_list' which is
redundant. Indeed, currently the forker thread ('bdi_forker_thread()') is
working like this:
1. In a loop, fetch all bdi's which have works but have no writeback thread and
move them to the 'pending_list'.
2. If the list is empty, sleep for 5 sec.
3. Otherwise, take one bdi from the list, fork the writeback thread for this
bdi, and repeat the loop.
IOW, it first moves everything to the 'pending_list', then process only one
element, and so on. This patch simplifies the algorithm, which is now as
follows.
1. Find the first bdi which has a work and remove it from the global list of
bdi's (bdi_list).
2. If there was not such bdi, sleep 5 sec.
3. Fork the writeback thread for this bdi and repeat the loop.
IOW, now we find the first bdi to process, process it, and so on. This is
simpler and involves less lists.
The bonus now is that we can get rid of a couple of functions, as well as
remove complications which involve 'rcu_call()' and 'bdi->rcu_head'.
This patch also makes sure we use 'list_add_tail_rcu()', instead of plain
'list_add_tail()', but this piece of code is going to be removed in the next
patch anyway.

The write-back code mixes words "thread" and "task" for the same things. This
is not a big deal, but still an inconsistency.
hch: a convention I tend to use and I've seen in various places
is to always use _task for the storage of the task_struct pointer,
and thread everywhere else. This especially helps with having
foo_thread for the actual thread and foo_task for a global
variable keeping the task_struct pointer
This patch renames:
* 'bdi_add_default_flusher_task()' -> 'bdi_add_default_flusher_thread()'
* 'bdi_forker_task()' -> 'bdi_forker_thread()'
because bdi threads are 'bdi_writeback_thread()', so these names are more
consistent.
This patch also amends commentaries and makes them refer the forker and bdi
threads as "thread", not "task".
Also, while on it, make 'bdi_add_default_flusher_thread()' declaration use
'static void' instead of 'void static' and make checkpatch.pl happy.

linux/fs.h hard coded READ/WRITE constants which should match BIO_RW_*
flags. This is fragile and caused breakage during BIO_RW_* flag
rearrangement. The hardcoding is to avoid include dependency hell.
Create linux/bio_types.h which contatins definitions for bio data
structures and flags and include it from bio.h and fs.h, and make fs.h
define all READ/WRITE related constants in terms of BIO_RW_* flags.

Commit a82afdf (block: use the same failfast bits for bio and request)
moved BIO_RW_* bits around such that they match up with REQ_* bits.
Unfortunately, fs.h hard coded RW_MASK, RWA_MASK, READ, WRITE, READA
and SWRITE as 0, 1, 2 and 3, and expected them to match with BIO_RW_*
bits. READ/WRITE didn't change but BIO_RW_AHEAD was moved to bit 4
instead of bit 1, breaking RWA_MASK, READA and SWRITE.
This patch updates RWA_MASK, READA and SWRITE such that they match the
BIO_RW_* bits again. A follow up patch will update the definitions to
directly use BIO_RW_* bits so that this kind of breakage won't happen
again.
Neil also spotted missing RWA_MASK conversion.
Stable: The offending commit a82afdf was released with v2.6.32, so
this patch should be applied to all kernels since then but it must
_NOT_ be applied to kernels earlier than that.

The blktrace driver currently needs the BKL, but
we should not need to take that in the block layer,
so just push it down into the driver itself.
It is quite likely that the BKL is not actually

SCSI-ml needs a way to mark a request as flush request in
q->prepare_flush_fn because it needs to identify them later (e.g. in
q->request_fn or prep_rq_fn).
queue_flush sets REQ_HARDBARRIER in rq->cmd_flags however the block
layer also sends normal REQ_TYPE_FS requests with REQ_HARDBARRIER. So
SCSI-ml can't use REQ_HARDBARRIER to identify flush requests.
We could change the block layer to clear REQ_HARDBARRIER bit before
sending non flush requests to the lower layers. However, intorudcing
the new flag looks cleaner (surely easier).
