[PATCH] reiserfs: handle cnode allocation failure gracefully

If an external device is used for a journal, by default it will use the
entire device.  The reiserfs journal code allocates structures per journal
block when it mounts the file system.  If the journal device is too large,
and memory cannot be allocated for the structures, it will continue and
ultimately panic when it can't pull one off the free list.

This patch handles the allocation failure gracefully and prints an error
message at mount time.

Changes: Updated error message to be more descriptive to the user.

Discussed and approved on ReiserFS Mailing List, Nov 28.

19 years ago[IPV4] tcp/route: Another look at hash table sizes
Mike Stroyan [Wed, 30 Nov 2005 00:12:55 +0000 (16:12 -0800)]
[IPV4] tcp/route: Another look at hash table sizes

  The tcp_ehash hash table gets too big on systems with really big memory.
It is worse on systems with pages larger than 4KB.  It wastes memory that
could be better used.  It also makes the netstat command slow because reading
/proc/net/tcp and /proc/net/tcp6 needs to go through the full hash table.

  The default value should not be larger for larger page sizes.  It seems
that the effect of page size is an unintended error dating back a long
time.  I also wonder if the default value really should be a larger
fraction of memory for systems with more memory.  While systems with
really big ram can afford more space for hash tables, it is not clear to
me that they benefit from increasing the allocation ratio for this table.

  The amount of memory allocated is determined by net/ipv4/tcp.c:tcp_init and
mm/page_alloc.c:alloc_large_system_hash.

tcp_init calls alloc_large_system_hash passing parameters-
    bucketsize=sizeof(struct tcp_ehash_bucket)
    numentries=thash_entries
    scale=(num_physpages >= 128 * 1024) ? (25-PAGE_SHIFT) : (27-PAGE_SHIFT)
    limit=0

On i386, PAGE_SHIFT is 12 for a page size of 4K
On ia64, PAGE_SHIFT defaults to 14 for a page size of 16K

The num_physpages test above makes the allocation take a larger fraction
of the total memory on systems with larger memory.  The threshold size
for a i386 system is 512MB.  For an ia64 system with 16KB pages the
threshold is 2GB.

For smaller memory systems-
On i386, scale = (27 - 12) = 15
On ia64, scale = (27 - 14) = 13
For larger memory systems-
On i386, scale = (25 - 12) = 13
On ia64, scale = (25 - 14) = 11

  For the rest of this discussion, I'll just track the larger memory case.

  The default behavior has numentries=thash_entries=0, so the allocated
size is determined by either scale or by the default limit of 1/16 of
total memory.

In alloc_large_system_hash-
| numentries = (flags & HASH_HIGHMEM) ? nr_all_pages : nr_kernel_pages;
| numentries += (1UL << (20 - PAGE_SHIFT)) - 1;
| numentries >>= 20 - PAGE_SHIFT;
| numentries <<= 20 - PAGE_SHIFT;

  At this point, numentries is pages for all of memory, rounded up to the
nearest megabyte boundary.

| /* limit to 1 bucket per 2^scale bytes of low memory */
| if (scale > PAGE_SHIFT)
| numentries >>= (scale - PAGE_SHIFT);
| else
| numentries <<= (PAGE_SHIFT - scale);

On i386, numentries >>= (13 - 12), so numentries is 1/8196 of
bytes of total memory.
On ia64, numentries <<= (14 - 11), so numentries is 1/2048 of
bytes of total memory.

|        log2qty = long_log2(numentries);
|
|        do {
|                size = bucketsize << log2qty;

bucketsize is 16, so size is 16 times numentries, rounded
down to a power of two.

On i386, size is 1/512 of bytes of total memory.
On ia64, size is 1/128 of bytes of total memory.

For smaller systems the results are
On i386, size is 1/2048 of bytes of total memory.
On ia64, size is 1/512 of bytes of total memory.

  The large page effect can be removed by just replacing
the use of PAGE_SHIFT with a constant of 12 in the calls to
alloc_large_system_hash.  That makes them more like the other uses of
that function from fs/inode.c and fs/dcache.c

[PATCH] shrinker->nr = LONG_MAX means deadlock for icache

With Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org>

The slab scanning code tries to balance the scanning rate of slabs versus the
scanning rate of LRU pages.  To do this, it retains state concerning how many
slabs have been scanned - if a particular slab shrinker didn't scan enough
objects, we remember that for next time, and scan more objects on the next
pass.

The problem with this is that with (say) a huge number of GFP_NOIO
direct-reclaim attempts, the number of objects which are to be scanned when we
finally get a GFP_KERNEL request can be huge.  Because some shrinker handlers
just bail out if !__GFP_FS.

So the patch clamps the number of objects-to-be-scanned to 2* the total number
of objects in the slab cache.

devices) and the other uses far-copies (so multiple copies of a block
are stored a greatly different offsets on different devices).  The point
of far-copies is that it allows the first section (normally first half)
to be layed out in normal raid0 style, and thus provide raid0 sequential
read performance.

Unfortunately, the read balancing in raid10 makes some poor decisions
for far-copies arrays and you don't get the desired performance.  So
turn off that bad bit of read_balance for far-copies arrays.

system that is swappable.

Instead of ignoring the swap token when sc->priority reaches 0, we could

Move the cpuset_fork() call below the write_unlock_irq call in
kernel/fork.c copy_process().

Since the cpuset-dual-semaphore-locking-overhaul.patch, the cpuset_fork()

[PATCH] mm: __alloc_pages cleanup fix

I believe this patch is required to fix breakage in the asynch reclaim
watermark logic introduced by this patch:

http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=7fb1d9fca5c6e3b06773b69165a73f3fb786b8ee

Just some background of the watermark logic in case it isn't clear...
Basically what we have is this:

 ---  pages_high

   | (a)
   |
 ---  pages_low
   |
   | (b)
   |
 ---  pages_min
   |
   | (c)
   |
 ---  0

Now when pages_low is reached, we want to kick asynch reclaim, which gives us
an interval of "b" before we must start synch reclaim, and gives kswapd an
interval of "a" before it need go back to sleep.

When pages_min is reached, normal allocators must enter synch reclaim, but
PF_MEMALLOC, ALLOC_HARDER, and ALLOC_HIGH (ie.  atomic allocations, recursive
allocations, etc.) get access to varying amounts of the reserve "c".

[PATCH] m32r: Fix sys_tas() syscall

This patch fixes a deadlock problem of the m32r SMP kernel.

In the m32r kernel, sys_tas() system call is provided as a test-and-set
function for userspace, for backward compatibility.

In some multi-threading application program, deadlocks were rarely caused
at sys_tas() funcion.  Such a deadlock was caused due to a collision of
__pthread_lock() and __pthread_unlock() operations.

The "tas" syscall is repeatedly called by pthread_mutex_lock() to get a
lock, while a lock variable's value is not 0.  On the other hand,
pthead_mutex_unlock() sets the lock variable to 0 for unlocking.

In the previous implementation of sys_tas() routine, there was a
possibility that a unlock operation was ignored in the following case:

- Assume a lock variable (*addr) was equal to 1 before sys_tas() execution.
- __pthread_unlock() operation is executed by the other processor
  and the lock variable (*addr) is set to 0, between a read operation
  ("oldval = *addr;") and the following write operation ("*addr = 1;")
  during a execution of sys_tas().

In this case, the following write operation ("*addr = 1;") overwrites the
__pthread_unlock() result, and sys_tas() fails to get a lock in the next
turn and after that.

According to the attatched patch, sys_tas() returns 0 value in the next
turn and deadlocks never happen.

[PATCH] Fix hardcoded cpu=0 in workqueue for per_cpu_ptr() calls

Tracked this down on an Ultra Enterprise 3000.  It's a 6-way machine.  Odd
thing about this machine (and it's good for finding bugs like this) is that
the CPU id's are not 0 based.  For instance, on my machine the CPU's are
6/7/10/11/14/15.

This caused some NULL pointer dereference in kernel/workqueue.c because for
single_threaded workqueue's, it hardcoded the cpu to 0.

I changed the 0's to any_online_cpu(cpu_online_mask), which cpumask.h
claims is "First cpu in mask".  So this fits the same usage.

[PATCH] clean up lock_cpu_hotplug() in cpufreq

There are some callers in cpufreq hotplug notify path that the lowest
function calls lock_cpu_hotplug().  The lock is already held during
cpu_up() and cpu_down() calls when the notify calls are broadcast to
registered clients.

Ideally if possible, we could disable_preempt() at the highest caller and
make sure we dont sleep in the path down in cpufreq->driver_target() calls
but the calls are so intertwined and cumbersome to cleanup.

Hence we consistently use lock_cpu_hotplug() and unlock_cpu_hotplug() in
all places.

 - Removed export of cpucontrol semaphore and made it static.
 - removed explicit uses of up/down with lock_cpu_hotplug()
   so we can keep track of the the callers in same thread context and
   just keep refcounts without calling a down() that causes a deadlock.
 - Removed current_in_hotplug() uses
 - Removed PF_HOTPLUG_CPU in sched.h introduced for the current_in_hotplug()
   temporary workaround.

Tested with insmod of cpufreq_stat.ko, and logical online/offline

never touches, and never considers to be normal pages.
