mm: add __GFP_OTHER_NODE flag
Add a new __GFP_OTHER_NODE flag to tell the low level numa statistics in
zone_statistics() that an allocation is on behalf of another thread. This
way the local and remote counters can be still correct, even when
background daemons like khugepaged are changing memory mappings.
This only affects the accounting, but I think it's worth doing that right
to avoid confusing users.
I first tried to just pass down the right node, but this required a lot of
changes to pass down this parameter and at least one addition of a 10th
argument to a 9 argument function. Using the flag is a lot less
intrusive.
Open: should be also used for migration?

mm: compaction: Use async migration for __GFP_NO_KSWAPD and enforce no writeback
__GFP_NO_KSWAPD allocations are usually very expensive and not mandatory
to succeed as they have graceful fallback. Waiting for I/O in those,
tends to be overkill in terms of latencies, so we can reduce their latency
by disabling sync migrate.
Unfortunately, even with async migration it's still possible for the
process to be blocked waiting for a request slot (e.g. get_request_wait
in the block layer) when ->writepage is called. To prevent
__GFP_NO_KSWAPD blocking, this patch prevents ->writepage being called on
dirty page cache for asynchronous migration.

mm: vmscan: kswapd should not free an excessive number of pages when balancing small zones
When reclaiming for order-0 pages, kswapd requires that all zones be
balanced. Each cycle through balance_pgdat() does background ageing on
all zones if necessary and applies equal pressure on the inactive zone
unless a lot of pages are free already.
A "lot of free pages" is defined as a "balance gap" above the high
watermark which is currently 7*high_watermark. Historically this was
reasonable as min_free_kbytes was small. However, on systems using huge
pages, it is recommended that min_free_kbytes is higher and it is tuned
with hugeadm --set-recommended-min_free_kbytes. With the introduction of
transparent huge page support, this recommended value is also applied. On
X86-64 with 4G of memory, min_free_kbytes becomes 67584 so one would
expect around 68M of memory to be free. The Normal zone is approximately
35000 pages so under even normal memory pressure such as copying a large
file, it gets exhausted quickly. As it is getting exhausted, kswapd
applies pressure equally to all zones, including the DMA32 zone. DMA32 is
approximately 700,000 pages with a high watermark of around 23,000 pages.
In this situation, kswapd will reclaim around (23000*8 where 8 is the high
watermark + balance gap of 7 * high watermark) pages or 718M of pages
before the zone is ignored. What the user sees is that free memory far
higher than it should be.
To avoid an excessive number of pages being reclaimed from the larger
zones, explicitely defines the "balance gap" to be either 1% of the zone
or the low watermark for the zone, whichever is smaller. While kswapd
will check all zones to apply pressure, it'll ignore zones that meets the
(high_wmark + balance_gap) watermark.
To test this, 80G were copied from a partition and the amount of memory
being used was recorded. A comparison of a patch and unpatched kernel can
be seen at
http://www.csn.ul.ie/~mel/postings/minfree-
20110222/memory-usage-hydra.ps
and shows that kswapd is not reclaiming as much memory with the patch
applied.

invalidate_mapping_pages is very big hint to reclaimer. It means user
doesn't want to use the page any more. So in order to prevent working set
page eviction, this patch move the page into tail of inactive list by
PG_reclaim.
Please, remember that pages in inactive list are working set as well as
active list. If we don't move pages into inactive list's tail, pages near
by tail of inactive list can be evicted although we have a big clue about
useless pages. It's totally bad.
Now PG_readahead/PG_reclaim is shared.
fe3cba17 added ClearPageReclaim
into clear_page_dirty_for_io for preventing fast reclaiming readahead
marker page.
In this series, PG_reclaim is used by invalidated page, too. If VM find
the page is invalidated and it's dirty, it sets PG_reclaim to reclaim
asap. Then, when the dirty page will be writeback,
clear_page_dirty_for_io will clear PG_reclaim unconditionally. It
disturbs this serie's goal.
I think it's okay to clear PG_readahead when the page is dirty, not
writeback time. So this patch moves ClearPageReadahead. In v4,
ClearPageReadahead in set_page_dirty has a problem which is reported by
Steven Barrett. It's due to compound page. Some driver(ex, audio) calls
set_page_dirty with compound page which isn't on LRU. but my patch does
ClearPageRelcaim on compound page. In non-CONFIG_PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED, it
breaks PageTail flag.
I think it doesn't affect THP and pass my test with THP enabling but Cced

(http://marc.info/?l=rsync&m=

workloads(ex, nightly rsync). That's because the workload makes just
use-once pages and touches pages twice. It promotes the page into active

Some app developer want to support POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE. But other OSes
don't support it, either.
(http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=

By other approach, app developers use POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED. But it has a
problem. If kernel meets page is writing during invalidate_mapping_pages,
it can't work. It makes for application programmer to use it since they
always have to sync data before calling fadivse(..POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED) to
make sure the pages could be discardable. At last, they can't use
deferred write of kernel so that they could see performance loss.
(http://insights.oetiker.ch/linux/fadvise.html)
In fact, invalidation is very big hint to reclaimer. It means we don't
use the page any more. So let's move the writing page into inactive
list's head if we can't truncate it right now.

mm: introduce delete_from_page_cache()
Presently we increase the page refcount in add_to_page_cache() but don't
decrease it in remove_from_page_cache(). Such asymmetry adds confusion,
requiring that callers notice it and a comment explaining why they release
a page reference. It's not a good API.
A long time ago, Hugh tried it (http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/10/24/140) but
gave up because reiser4's drop_page() had to unlock the page between
removing it from page cache and doing the page_cache_release(). But now
the situation is changed. I think at least things in current mainline
don't have any obstacles. The problem is for out-of-mainline filesystems
- if they have done such things as reiser4, this patch could be a problem
but they will discover this at compile time since we remove
remove_from_page_cache().
This patch:
This function works as just wrapper remove_from_page_cache(). The
difference is that it decreases page references in itself. So caller have
to make sure it has a page reference before calling.
This patch is ready for removing remove_from_page_cache().

This output, however, can be extremely verbose. In irq context, it may
result in significant delays that incur NMI watchdog timeouts when the
machine is large (we use CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT > 8 here to define a "large"

oom: suppress nodes that are not allowed from meminfo on oom kill
The oom killer is extremely verbose for machines with a large number of
cpus and/or nodes. This verbosity can often be harmful if it causes other
important messages to be scrolled from the kernel log and incurs a
signicant time delay, specifically for kernels with CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT >
8.
This patch causes only memory information to be displayed for nodes that
are allowed by current's cpuset when dumping the VM state. Information
for all other nodes is irrelevant to the oom condition; we don't care if
there's an abundance of memory elsewhere if we can't access it.
This only affects the behavior of dumping memory information when an oom
is triggered. Other dumps, such as for sysrq+m, still display the
unfiltered form when using the existing show_mem() interface.
Additionally, the per-cpu pageset statistics are extremely verbose in oom
killer output, so it is now suppressed. This removes
nodes_weight(current->mems_allowed) * (1 + nr_cpus)
lines from the oom killer output.
Callers may use __show_mem(SHOW_MEM_FILTER_NODES) to filter disallowed
nodes.

IRQs were being disabled more frequently. This was reported at

The problem is not related to THP which specifies __GFP_NO_KSWAPD but is

order and waking kswapd on kernels with CONFIG_COMPACTION set. The most
common trigger for this is network cards configured for jumbo frames but
it's also possible it'll be triggered by fork-heavy workloads (order-1)
and some wireless cards which depend on order-1 allocations.
The symptoms for the user will be high CPU usage by kswapd in low-memory
situations which could be confused with another writeback problem. While
a patch like
5a03b051 may be reintroduced in the future, this patch plays
it safe for now and reverts it.

mm: vmap area cache
Provide a free area cache for the vmalloc virtual address allocator, based
on the algorithm used by the user virtual memory allocator.
This reduces the number of rbtree operations and linear traversals over
the vmap extents in order to find a free area, by starting off at the last
point that a free area was found.
The free area cache is reset if areas are freed behind it, or if we are
searching for a smaller area or alignment than last time. So allocation
patterns are not changed (verified by corner-case and random test cases in
userspace testing).
This solves a regression caused by lazy vunmap TLB purging introduced in
db64fe02 (mm: rewrite vmap layer). That patch will leave extents in the
vmap allocator after they are vunmapped, and until a significant number
accumulate that can be flushed in a single batch. So in a workload that
vmalloc/vfree frequently, a chain of extents will build up from
VMALLOC_START address, which have to be iterated over each time (giving an
O(n) type of behaviour).
After this patch, the search will start from where it left off, giving
closer to an amortized O(1).
This is verified to solve regressions reported Steven in GFS2, and Avi in
KVM.
Hugh's update:
: I tried out the recent mmotm, and on one machine was fortunate to hit
: the BUG_ON(first->va_start < addr) which seems to have been stalling
: your vmap area cache patch ever since May.
: I can get you addresses etc, I did dump a few out; but once I stared
: at them, it was easier just to look at the code: and I cannot see how
: you would be so sure that first->va_start < addr, once you've done
: that addr = ALIGN(max(...), align) above, if align is over 0x1000
: (align was 0x8000 or 0x4000 in the cases I hit: ioremaps like Steve).
: I originally got around it by just changing the
: if (first->va_start < addr) {
: to
: while (first->va_start < addr) {
: without thinking about it any further; but that seemed unsatisfactory,
: why would we want to loop here when we've got another very similar
: loop just below it?
: I am never going to admit how long I've spent trying to grasp your
: "while (n)" rbtree loop just above this, the one with the peculiar
: if (!first && tmp->va_start < addr + size)
: in. That's unfamiliar to me, I'm guessing it's designed to save a
: subsequent rb_next() in a few circumstances (at risk of then setting
: a wrong cached_hole_size?); but they did appear few to me, and I didn't
: feel I could sign off something with that in when I don't grasp it,
: and it seems responsible for extra code and mistaken BUG_ON below it.
: I've reverted to the familiar rbtree loop that find_vma() does (but
: with va_end >= addr as you had, to respect the additional guard page):
: and then (given that cached_hole_size starts out 0) I don't see the
: need for any complications below it. If you do want to keep that loop
: as you had it, please add a comment to explain what it's trying to do,
: and where addr is relative to first when you emerge from it.
: Aren't your tests "size <= cached_hole_size" and
: "addr + size > first->va_start" forgetting the guard page we want
: before the next area? I've changed those.
: I have not changed your many "addr + size - 1 < addr" overflow tests,
: but have since come to wonder, shouldn't they be "addr + size < addr"
: tests - won't the vend checks go wrong if addr + size is 0?
: I have added a few comments - Wolfgang Wander's 2.6.13 description of
:
1363c3cd8603a913a27e2995dccbd70d5312d8e6 Avoiding mmap fragmentation
: helped me a lot, perhaps a pointer to that would be good too. And I found
: it easier to understand when I renamed cached_start slightly and moved the
: overflow label down.
: This patch would go after your mm-vmap-area-cache.patch in mmotm.
: Trivially, nobody is going to get that BUG_ON with this patch, and it
: appears to work fine on my machines; but I have not given it anything like
: the testing you did on your original, and may have broken all the
: performance you were aiming for. Please take a look and test it out
: integrate with yours if you're satisfied - thanks.

pwm_backlight: add check_fb() hook
In systems with multiple framebuffer devices, one of the devices might be
blanked while another is unblanked. In order for the backlight blanking
logic to know whether to turn off the backlight for a particular
framebuffer's blanking notification, it needs to be able to check if a
given framebuffer device corresponds to the backlight.
This plumbs the check_fb hook from core backlight through the

oom: avoid deferring oom killer if exiting task is being traced
The oom killer naturally defers killing anything if it finds an eligible
task that is already exiting and has yet to detach its ->mm. This avoids
unnecessarily killing tasks when one is already in the exit path and may
free enough memory that the oom killer is no longer needed. This is
detected by PF_EXITING since threads that have already detached its ->mm
are no longer considered at all.
The problem with always deferring when a thread is PF_EXITING, however, is
that it may never actually exit when being traced, specifically if another
task is tracing it with PTRACE_O_TRACEEXIT. The oom killer does not want
to defer in this case since there is no guarantee that thread will ever
exit without intervention.
This patch will now only defer the oom killer when a thread is PF_EXITING
and no ptracer has stopped its progress in the exit path. It also ensures
that a child is sacrificed for the chosen parent only if it has a
different ->mm as the comment implies: this ensures that the thread group
leader is always targeted appropriately.

oom: prevent unnecessary oom kills or kernel panics
This patch prevents unnecessary oom kills or kernel panics by reverting
two commits:
495789a5 (oom: make oom_score to per-process value)
cef1d352 (oom: multi threaded process coredump don't make deadlock)
First,
495789a5 (oom: make oom_score to per-process value) ignores the
fact that all threads in a thread group do not necessarily exit at the
same time.
It is imperative that select_bad_process() detect threads that are in the
exit path, specifically those with PF_EXITING set, to prevent needlessly
killing additional tasks. If a process is oom killed and the thread group
leader exits, select_bad_process() cannot detect the other threads that
are PF_EXITING by iterating over only processes. Thus, it currently
chooses another task unnecessarily for oom kill or panics the machine when
nothing else is eligible.
By iterating over threads instead, it is possible to detect threads that
are exiting and nominate them for oom kill so they get access to memory
reserves.
Second,
cef1d352 (oom: multi threaded process coredump don't make
deadlock) erroneously avoids making the oom killer a no-op when an
eligible thread other than current isfound to be exiting. We want to
detect this situation so that we may allow that exiting thread time to
exit and free its memory; if it is able to exit on its own, that should
free memory so current is no loner oom. If it is not able to exit on its
own, the oom killer will nominate it for oom kill which, in this case,
only means it will get access to memory reserves.
Without this change, it is easy for the oom killer to unnecessarily target
tasks when all threads of a victim don't exit before the thread group
leader or, in the worst case, panic the machine.

by NFS. If accepted for 2.6.39, it should also be considered a -stable
candidate for 2.6.38 and 2.6.37.

tty: stop using "delayed_work" in the tty layer
Using delayed-work for tty flip buffers ends up causing us to wait for
the next tick to complete some actions. That's usually not all that
noticeable, but for certain latency-critical workloads it ends up being
totally unacceptable.
As an extreme case of this, passing a token back-and-forth over a pty
will take two ticks per iteration, so even just a thousand iterations
will take 8 seconds assuming a common 250Hz configuration.
Avoiding the whole delayed work issue brings that ping-pong test-case
down to 0.009s on my machine.
In more practical terms, this latency has been a performance problem for
things like dive computer simulators (simulating the serial interface
using the ptys) and for other environments (Alan mentions a CP/M emulator).

[net/9p]: Introduce basic flow-control for VirtIO transport.
Recent zerocopy work in the 9P VirtIO transport maps and pins
user buffers into kernel memory for the server to work on them.
Since the user process can initiate this kind of pinning with a simple
read/write call, thousands of IO threads initiated by the user process can
hog the system resources and could result into denial of service.
This patch introduces flow control to avoid that extreme scenario.
The ceiling limit to avoid denial of service attacks is set to relatively
high (nr_free_pagecache_pages()/4) so that it won't interfere with
regular usage, but can step in extreme cases to limit the total system
hang. Since we don't have a global structure to accommodate this variable,
I choose the virtio_chan as the home for this.

IPVS: Use global mutex in ip_vs_app.c
As part of the work to make IPVS network namespace aware
__ip_vs_app_mutex was replaced by a per-namespace lock,
ipvs->app_mutex. ipvs->app_key is also supplied for debugging purposes.
Unfortunately this implementation results in ipvs->app_key residing
in non-static storage which at the very least causes a lockdep warning.
This patch takes the rather heavy-handed approach of reinstating
__ip_vs_app_mutex which will cover access to the ipvs->list_head
of all network namespaces.

veth: Fix the byte counters
Commit
44540960 "veth: move loopback logic to common location" introduced
a bug in the packet counters. I don't understand why that happened as it
is not explained in the comments and the mut check in dev_forward_skb
retains the assumption that skb->len is the total length of the packet.
I just measured this emperically by setting up a veth pair between two
noop network namespaces setting and attempting a telnet connection between
the two. I saw three packets in each direction and the byte counters were
exactly 14*3 = 42 bytes high in each direction. I got the actual
packet lengths with tcpdump.
So remove the extra ETH_HLEN from the veth byte count totals.

net ipv6: Fix duplicate /proc/sys/net/ipv6/neigh directory entries.
When I was fixing issues with unregisgtering tables under /proc/sys/net/ipv6/neigh
by adding a mount point it appears I missed a critical ordering issue, in the
ipv6 initialization. I had not realized that ipv6_sysctl_register is called
at the very end of the ipv6 initialization and in particular after we call
neigh_sysctl_register from ndisc_init.
"neigh" needs to be initialized in ipv6_static_sysctl_register which is
the first ipv6 table to initialized, and definitely before ndisc_init.
This removes the weirdness of duplicate tables while still providing a
"neigh" mount point which prevents races in sysctl unregistering.
This was initially reported at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31232

macvlan: Fix use after free of struct macvlan_port.
When the macvlan driver was extended to call unregisgter_netdevice_queue
in
23289a37e2b127dfc4de1313fba15bb4c9f0cd5b, a use after free of struct
macvlan_port was introduced. The code in dellink relied on unregister_netdevice
actually unregistering the net device so it would be safe to free macvlan_port.
Since unregister_netdevice_queue can just queue up the unregister instead of
performing the unregiser immediately we free the macvlan_port too soon and
then the code in macvlan_stop removes the macaddress for the set of macaddress
to listen for and uses memory that has already been freed.
To fix this add a reference count to track when it is safe to free the macvlan_port
and move the call of macvlan_port_destroy into macvlan_uninit which is guaranteed
to be called after the final macvlan_port_close.

can: c_can: Do basic c_can configuration _before_ enabling the interrupts
I ran into some trouble while testing the SocketCAN driver for the BOSCH
C_CAN controller. The interface is not correctly initialized, if I put
some CAN traffic on the line, _while_ the interface is being started
(which means: the interface doesn't come up correcty, if there's some RX
traffic while doing 'ifconfig can0 up').
The current implementation enables the controller interrupts _before_
doing the basic c_can configuration. I think, this should be done the
other way round.
The patch below fixes things for me.

net/appletalk: fix atalk_release use after free
The BKL removal in appletalk introduced a use-after-free problem,
where atalk_destroy_socket frees a sock, but we still release
the socket lock on it.
An easy fix is to take an extra reference on the sock and sock_put
it when returning from atalk_release.
