idr: change the idr structure
After scalability problems have been detected when using the sysV ipcs, I have
proposed to use an RCU based implementation of the IDR api instead (see
threads http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/11/212 and
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/29/295).
This resulted in many people asking to convert the idr API and make it rcu
safe (because most of the code was duplicated and thus unmaintanable and
unreviewable).
So here is a first attempt.
The important change wrt to the idr API itself is during idr removes: idr
layers are freed after a grace period, instead of being moved to the free
list.
The important change wrt to ipcs, is that idr_find() can now be called
locklessly inside a rcu read critical section.

kdump kernel fails to boot with calgary iommu and aacraid driver on a x366

until the driver is loaded in the kdump kernel. Calgary is initialized
prior to aacraid and creation of new tce tables causes wrong dma's to
occur. Here we try to get the tce tables of the first kernel in kdump

workqueues: implement flush_work()
Most of users of flush_workqueue() can be changed to use cancel_work_sync(),
but sometimes we really need to wait for the completion and cancelling is not
an option. schedule_on_each_cpu() is good example.
Add the new helper, flush_work(work), which waits for the completion of the
specific work_struct. More precisely, it "flushes" the result of of the last
queue_work() which is visible to the caller.
For example, this code
queue_work(wq, work);
/* WINDOW */
queue_work(wq, work);
flush_work(work);
doesn't necessary work "as expected". What can happen in the WINDOW above is
- wq starts the execution of work->func()
- the caller migrates to another CPU
now, after the 2nd queue_work() this work is active on the previous CPU, and
at the same time it is queued on another. In this case flush_work(work) may
return before the first work->func() completes.
It is trivial to add another helper
int flush_work_sync(struct work_struct *work)
{
return flush_work(work) || wait_on_work(work);
}
which works "more correctly", but it has to iterate over all CPUs and thus
it much slower than flush_work().

coredump: zap_threads() must skip kernel threads
The main loop in zap_threads() must skip kthreads which may use the same
mm. Otherwise we "kill" this thread erroneously (for example, it can not
fork or exec after that), and the coredumping task stucks in the
TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state forever because of the wrong ->core_waiters
count.

kill PF_BORROWED_MM in favour of PF_KTHREAD
Kill PF_BORROWED_MM. Change use_mm/unuse_mm to not play with ->flags, and
do s/PF_BORROWED_MM/PF_KTHREAD/ for a couple of other users.
No functional changes yet. But this allows us to do further
fixes/cleanups.
oom_kill/ptrace/etc often check "p->mm != NULL" to filter out the
kthreads, this is wrong because of use_mm(). The problem with
PF_BORROWED_MM is that we need task_lock() to avoid races. With this
patch we can check PF_KTHREAD directly, or use a simple lockless helper:
/* The result must not be dereferenced !!! */
struct mm_struct *__get_task_mm(struct task_struct *tsk)

introduce PF_KTHREAD flag
Introduce the new PF_KTHREAD flag to mark the kernel threads. It is set
by INIT_TASK() and copied to the forked childs (we could set it in
kthreadd() along with PF_NOFREEZE instead).
daemonize() was changed as well. In that case testing of PF_KTHREAD is

This flag is cleared in do_execve(), before search_binary_handler().
Probably not the best place, we can do this in exec_mmap() or in

Kill "int killed" and simplify the code. This also is more correct,
the tracer shouldn't see us in TASK_TRACED if we are not going to

I strongly believe this code needs further changes. We should do the "was

This patch assumes that the traced task should die asap if it was killed by

- cris

no need to leak CONFIG_SUPERH64 to userspace
- xtensa: cosmetical change to remove empty

The bug is that a task may run on the cpu/node which is not in its

It can be reproduced by the following commands:
-----------------------------------
# mkdir /dev/cpuset
# mount -t cpuset xxx /dev/cpuset
# mkdir /dev/cpuset/0
# echo 0-1 > /dev/cpuset/0/cpus
# echo 0 > /dev/cpuset/0/mems

# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
-----------------------------------
There is only CPU0 in cpuset.cpus, but the task in this cpuset runs on
both CPU0 and CPU1.
It is because the task's cpu_allowed didn't get updated after we did CPU
offline/online manipulation. Similar for mem_allowed.
This patch fixes this bug expect for root cpuset. Because there is a
problem about root cpuset, in that whether it is necessary to update all
the tasks in root cpuset or not after cpu/node offline/online.
If updating, some kernel threads which is bound into a specified cpu will
be unbound.
If not updating, there is a bug in root cpuset. This bug is also caused
by offline/online manipulation. For example, there is a dual-cpu machine.
we create a sub cpuset in root cpuset and assign 1 to its cpus. And then
we attach some tasks into this sub cpuset. After this, we offline CPU1.
Now, the tasks in this new cpuset are moved into root cpuset automatically
because there is no cpu in sub cpuset. Then we online CPU1, we find all
the tasks which doesn't belong to root cpuset originally just run on CPU0.
Maybe we need to add a flag in the task_struct to mark which task can't be
unbound?

memcg: helper function for relcaim from shmem.
A new call, mem_cgroup_shrink_usage() is added for shmem handling and
relacing non-standard usage of mem_cgroup_charge/uncharge.
Now, shmem calls mem_cgroup_charge() just for reclaim some pages from
mem_cgroup. In general, shmem is used by some process group and not for
global resource (like file caches). So, it's reasonable to reclaim pages
from mem_cgroup where shmem is mainly used.

* Anon page is newly mapped.
* File page is added to mapping->tree.
* A page is uncharged only when
* Anon page is fully unmapped.
* File page is removed from LRU.
There is no change in behavior from user's view.
This patch also removes unnecessary calls in rmap.c which was used only for

memcg: better migration handling
This patch changes page migration under memory controller to use a
different algorithm. (thanks to Christoph for new idea.)
Before:
- page_cgroup is migrated from an old page to a new page.
After:
- a new page is accounted , no reuse of page_cgroup.
Pros:
- We can avoid compliated lock depndencies and races in migration.
Cons:
- new param to mem_cgroup_charge_common().
- mem_cgroup_getref() is added for handling ref_cnt ping-pong.
This version simplifies complicated lock dependency in page migraiton
under memory resource controller.
new refcnt sequence is following.
a mapped page:
prepage_migration() ..... +1 to NEW page
try_to_unmap() ..... all refs to OLD page is gone.
move_pages() ..... +1 to NEW page if page cache.
remap... ..... all refs from *map* is added to NEW one.
end_migration() ..... -1 to New page.
page's mapcount + (page_is_cache) refs are added to NEW one.

devcgroup: relax white-list protection down to RCU
Currently this list is protected with a simple spinlock, even for reading
from one. This is OK, but can be better.
Actually I want it to be better very much, since after replacing the
OpenVZ device permissions engine with the cgroup-based one I noticed, that
we set 12 default device permissions for each newly created container (for
/dev/null, full, terminals, ect devices), and people sometimes have up to
20 perms more, so traversing the ~30-40 elements list under a spinlock
doesn't seem very good.
Here's the RCU protection for white-list - dev_whitelist_item-s are added
and removed under the devcg->lock, but are looked up in permissions
checking under the rcu_read_lock.

cgroup_clone: use pid of newly created task for new cgroup
cgroup_clone creates a new cgroup with the pid of the task. This works
correctly for unshare, but for clone cgroup_clone is called from
copy_namespaces inside copy_process, which happens before the new pid is
created. As a result, the new cgroup was created with current's pid.
This patch:
1. Moves the call inside copy_process to after the new pid
is created
2. Passes the struct pid into ns_cgroup_clone (as it is not
yet attached to the task)
3. Passes a name from ns_cgroup_clone() into cgroup_clone()
so as to keep cgroup_clone() itself simpler
4. Uses pid_vnr() to get the process id value, so that the
pid used to name the new cgroup is always the pid as it
would be known to the task which did the cloning or
unsharing. I think that is the most intuitive thing to
do. This way, task t1 does clone(CLONE_NEWPID) to get
t2, which does clone(CLONE_NEWPID) to get t3, then the
cgroup for t3 will be named for the pid by which t2 knows
t3.
(Thanks to Dan Smith for finding the main bug)
Changelog:
June 11: Incorporate Paul Menage's feedback: don't pass
NULL to ns_cgroup_clone from unshare, and reduce
patch size by using 'nodename' in cgroup_clone.

quota: implement sending information via netlink about user below quota
Sometimes it may be useful for userspace to know (e.g. for some hosting

quotas. Implement sending of such events to userspace via quota netlink
protocol so that they don't have to poll for such events. Based on idea

fatfs: add UTC timestamp option
Provide a new mount option ("tz=UTC") for DOS (vfat/msdos) filesystems,
allowing timestamps to be in coordinated universal time (UTC) rather than
local time in applications where doing this is advantageous.
In particular, portable devices that use fat/vfat (such as digital
cameras) can benefit from using UTC in their internal clocks, thus
avoiding daylight saving time errors and general time ambiguity issues.
The user of the device does not have to worry about changing the time when
moving from place or when daylight saving changes.
The new mount option, when set, disables the counter-adjustment that Linux
currently makes to FAT timestamp info in anticipation of the normal
userspace time zone correction. When used in this new mode, all daylight
saving time and time zone handling is done in userspace as is normal for
many other filesystems (like ext3). The default mode, which remains
unchanged, is still appropriate when mounting volumes written in Windows
(because of its use of local time).
I originally based this patch on one submitted last year by Paul Collins,
but I updated it to work with current source and changed variable/option
naming. Ogawa Hirofumi (who maintains these filesystems) and I discussed
this patch at length on lkml, and he suggested using the option name in
the attached version of the patch. Barry Bouwsma pointed out a good
addition to the patch as well.
