This patch cleans up by abolishing is_aligned_hugepage_range().  Instead
prepare_hugepage_range() is defined directly.  Most archs use the default

[PATCH] hugepage: Fix hugepage logic in free_pgtables()

free_pgtables() has special logic to call hugetlb_free_pgd_range() instead
of the normal free_pgd_range() on hugepage VMAs.  However, the test it uses
to do so is incorrect: it calls is_hugepage_only_range on a hugepage sized
range at the start of the vma.  is_hugepage_only_range() will return true
if the given range has any intersection with a hugepage address region, and
in this case the given region need not be hugepage aligned.  So, for
example, this test can return true if called on, say, a 4k VMA immediately
preceding a (nicely aligned) hugepage VMA.

At present we get away with this because the powerpc version of
hugetlb_free_pgd_range() is just a call to free_pgd_range().  On ia64 (the
only other arch with a non-trivial is_hugepage_only_range()) we get away
with it for a different reason; the hugepage area is not contiguous with
the rest of the user address space, and VMAs are not permitted in between,
so the test can't return a false positive there.

Nonetheless this should be fixed.  We do that in the patch below by
replacing the is_hugepage_only_range() test with an explicit test of the
VMA using is_vm_hugetlb_page().

This in turn changes behaviour for platforms where is_hugepage_only_range()
returns false always (everything except powerpc and ia64).  We address this
by ensuring that hugetlb_free_pgd_range() is defined to be identical to
free_pgd_range() (instead of a no-op) on everything except ia64.  Even so,
it will prevent some otherwise possible coalescing of calls down to
free_pgd_range().  Since this only happens for hugepage VMAs, removing this
small optimization seems unlikely to cause any trouble.

This patch causes no regressions on the libhugetlbfs testsuite - ppc64

[PATCH] hugepage: Strict page reservation for hugepage inodes

These days, hugepages are demand-allocated at first fault time.  There's a
somewhat dubious (and racy) heuristic when making a new mmap() to check if
there are enough available hugepages to fully satisfy that mapping.

A particularly obvious case where the heuristic breaks down is where a
process maps its hugepages not as a single chunk, but as a bunch of
individually mmap()ed (or shmat()ed) blocks without touching and
instantiating the pages in between allocations.  In this case the size of
each block is compared against the total number of available hugepages.
It's thus easy for the process to become overcommitted, because each block
mapping will succeed, although the total number of hugepages required by
all blocks exceeds the number available.  In particular, this defeats such
a program which will detect a mapping failure and adjust its hugepage usage
downward accordingly.

The patch below addresses this problem, by strictly reserving a number of
physical hugepages for hugepage inodes which have been mapped, but not
instatiated.  MAP_SHARED mappings are thus "safe" - they will fail on
mmap(), not later with an OOM SIGKILL.  MAP_PRIVATE mappings can still
trigger an OOM.  (Actually SHARED mappings can technically still OOM, but
only if the sysadmin explicitly reduces the hugepage pool between mapping
and instantiation)

This patch appears to address the problem at hand - it allows DB2 to start
correctly, for instance, which previously suffered the failure described
above.

This patch causes no regressions on the libhugetblfs testsuite, and makes a
test (designed to catch this problem) pass which previously failed (ppc64,
POWER5).

[PATCH] hugepage: serialize hugepage allocation and instantiation

Currently, no lock or mutex is held between allocating a hugepage and
inserting it into the pagetables / page cache.  When we do go to insert the
page into pagetables or page cache, we recheck and may free the newly
allocated hugepage.  However, since the number of hugepages in the system
is strictly limited, and it's usualy to want to use all of them, this can
still lead to spurious allocation failures.

For example, suppose two processes are both mapping (MAP_SHARED) the same
hugepage file, large enough to consume the entire available hugepage pool.
If they race instantiating the last page in the mapping, they will both
attempt to allocate the last available hugepage.  One will fail, of course,
returning OOM from the fault and thus causing the process to be killed,
despite the fact that the entire mapping can, in fact, be instantiated.

The patch fixes this race by the simple method of adding a (sleeping) mutex
to serialize the hugepage fault path between allocation and insertion into
pagetables and/or page cache.  It would be possible to avoid the
serialization by catching the allocation failures, waiting on some
condition, then rechecking to see if someone else has instantiated the page
for us.  Given the likely frequency of hugepage instantiations, it seems
very doubtful it's worth the extra complexity.

This patch causes no regression on the libhugetlbfs testsuite, and one
test, which can trigger this race now passes where it previously failed.

Actually, the test still sometimes fails, though less often and only as a
shmat() failure, rather processes getting OOM killed by the VM.  The dodgy
heuristic tests in fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c for whether there's enough hugepage
space aren't protected by the new mutex, and would be ugly to do so, so
there's still a race there.  Another patch to replace those tests with
something saner for this reason as well as others coming...

might_sleep() accordingly.  We generally dropped locks around the clear and
copy, already but not everyone has PREEMPT enabled, so we should still be

For this to work, we need to remove the clear_huge_page() from

SLAB_NO_REAP is documented as an option that will cause this slab not to be
reaped under memory pressure.  However, that is not what happens.  The only
thing that SLAB_NO_REAP controls at the moment is the reclaim of the unused
slab elements that were allocated in batch in cache_reap().  Cache_reap()
is run every few seconds independently of memory pressure.

Could we remove the whole thing?  Its only used by three slabs anyways and
I cannot find a reason for having this option.

There is an additional problem with SLAB_NO_REAP.  If set then the recovery
of objects from alien caches is switched off.  Objects not freed on the
same node where they were initially allocated will only be reused if a
certain amount of objects accumulates from one alien node (not very likely)
or if the cache is explicitly shrunk.  (Strangely __cache_shrink does not
check for SLAB_NO_REAP)

Getting rid of SLAB_NO_REAP fixes the problems with alien cache freeing.

[PATCH] v9fs: assign dentry ops to negative dentries

If a file is not found in v9fs_vfs_lookup, the function creates negative
dentry, but doesn't assign any dentry ops.  This leaves the negative entry
in the cache (there is no d_delete to mark it for removal).  If the file is
created outside of the mounted v9fs filesystem, the file shows up in the
directory with weird permissions.

This patch assigns the default v9fs dentry ops to the negative dentry.

[PATCH] sched: remove sleep_avg multiplier

Remove the sleep_avg multiplier.  This multiplier was necessary back when
we had 10 seconds of dynamic range in sleep_avg, but now that we only have
one second, it causes that one second to be compressed down to 100ms in
some cases.  This is particularly noticeable when compiling a kernel in a
slow NFS mount, and I believe it to be a very likely candidate for other
recently reported network related interactivity problems.
