Tracking of dirty pages in shared writeable mmap()s. The idea is simple: write protect clean shared writeable pages, catch the write-fault, make writeable and set dirty. On page write-back clean all the PTE dirty bits and write protect them once again. The implementation is a tad harder, mainly because the default backing_dev_info capabilities were too loosely maintained. Hence it is not enough to test the backing_dev_info for cap_account_dirty. The current heuristic is as follows, a VMA is eligible when: - its shared writeable (vm_flags & (VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED)) == (VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED) - it is not a 'special' mapping (vm_flags & (VM_PFNMAP|VM_INSERTPAGE)) == 0 - the backing_dev_info is cap_account_dirty mapping_cap_account_dirty(vma->vm_file->f_mapping) - f_op->mmap() didn't change the default page protection Page from remap_pfn_range() are explicitly excluded because their COW semantics are already horrid enough (see vm_normal_page() in do_wp_page()) and because they don't have a backing store anyway. mprotect() is taught about the new behaviour as well. However it overrides the last condition. Cleaning the pages on write-back is done with page_mkclean() a new rmap call. It can be called on any page, but is currently only implemented for mapped pages, if the page is found the be of a VMA that accounts dirty pages it will also wrprotect the PTE. Finally, in fs/buffers.c:try_to_free_buffers(); remove clear_page_dirty() from under ->private_lock. This seems to be safe, since ->private_lock is used to serialize access to the buffers, not the page itself. This is needed because clear_page_dirty() will call into page_mkclean() and would thereby violate locking order.

Introduce a VM_BUG_ON, which is turned on with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM. Use this in the lightweight, inline refcounting functions; PageLRU and PageActive checks in vmscan, because they're pretty well confined to vmscan. And in page allocate/free fastpaths which can be the hottest parts of the kernel for kbuilds. Unlike BUG_ON, VM_BUG_ON must not be used to execute statements with side-effects, and should not be used outside core mm code.

Give non-highmem architectures access to the kmap API for the purposes of overriding (this is what the attached patch does). The proposal is that we should now require all architectures with coherence issues to manage data coherence via the kmap/kunmap API. Thus driver writers never have to write code like kmap(page) modify data in page flush_kernel_dcache_page(page) kunmap(page) instead, kmap/kunmap will manage the coherence and driver (and filesystem) writers don't need to worry about how to flush between kmap and kunmap. For most architectures, the page only needs to be flushed if it was actually written to *and* there are user mappings of it, so the best implementation looks to be: clear the page dirty pte bit in the kernel page tables on kmap and on kunmap, check page->mappings for user maps, and then the dirty bit, and only flush if it both has user mappings and is dirty.

Original commit code assumes, that when a buffer on BJ_SyncData list is locked, it is being written to disk. But this is not true and hence it can lead to a potential data loss on crash. Also the code didn't count with the fact that journal_dirty_data() can steal buffers from committing transaction and hence could write buffers that no longer belong to the committing transaction. Finally it could possibly happen that we tried writing out one buffer several times. The patch below tries to solve these problems by a complete rewrite of the data commit code. We go through buffers on t_sync_datalist, lock buffers needing write out and store them in an array. Buffers are also immediately refiled to BJ_Locked list or unfiled (if the write out is completed). When the array is full or we have to block on buffer lock, we submit all accumulated buffers for IO.

The scheduler will stop load balancing if the most busy processor contains processes pinned via processor affinity. The scheduler currently only does one search for busiest cpu. If it cannot pull any tasks away from the busiest cpu because they were pinned then the scheduler goes into a corner and sulks leaving the idle processors idle. F.e. If you have processor 0 busy running four tasks pinned via taskset, there are none on processor 1 and one just started two processes on processor 2 then the scheduler will not move one of the two processes away from processor 2. This patch fixes that issue by forcing the scheduler to come out of its corner and retrying the load balancing by considering other processors for load balancing. This patch was originally developed by John Hawkes and discussed at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113901368523205&w=2. I have removed extraneous material and gone back to equipping struct rq with the cpu the queue is associated with since this makes the patch much easier and it is likely that others in the future will have the same difficulty of figuring out which processor owns which runqueue. The overhead added through these patches is a single word on the stack if the kernel is configured to support 32 cpus or less (32 bit). For 32 bit environments the maximum number of cpus that can be configued is 255 which would result in the use of 32 bytes additional on the stack. On IA64 up to 1k cpus can be configured which will result in the use of 128 additional bytes on the stack. The maximum additional cache footprint is one cacheline. Typically memory use will be much less than a cacheline and the additional cpumask will be placed on the stack in a cacheline that already contains other local variable.

The v4l2 API documentation for VIDIOC_ENUMSTD says: To enumerate all standards applications shall begin at index zero, incrementing by one until the driver returns EINVAL. The actual code, however, tests the index this way: if (index<=0 || index >= vfd->tvnormsize) { ret=-EINVAL; So any application which passes in index=0 gets EINVAL right off the bat - and, in fact, this is what happens to mplayer. So I think the following patch is called for, and maybe even appropriate for a 2.6.18.x stable release.

Invoking load_module() before param_sysfs_init() is called crashes in mod_sysfs_setup(), since the kset in module_subsys is not initialized yet. In my case, net-pf-1 is getting modprobed as a result of hotplug trying to create a UNIX socket. Calls to hotplug begin after the topology_init initcall. Another patch for the same symptom (module_subsys-initialize-earlier.patch) moves param_sysfs_init() to the subsys initcalls, but this is still not early enough in the boot process in some cases. In particular, topology_init() causes /sbin/hotplug to run, which requests net-pf-1 (the UNIX socket protocol) which can be compiled as a module. Moving param_sysfs_init() to the postcore initcalls fixes this particular race, but there might well be other cases where a usermodehelper causes a module to load earlier still. The patch makes load_module() return an error rather than crashing the kernel if invoked before module_subsys is initialized.

Problem description: We have additional_cpus= option for allocating possible_cpus. But nid for possible cpus are not fixed at boot time. cpus which is offlined at boot or cpus which is not on SRAT is not tied to its node. This will cause panic at cpu onlining. Usually, pxm_to_nid() mapping is fixed at boot time by SRAT. But, unfortunately, some system (my system!) do not include full SRAT table for possible cpus. (Then, I use additiona_cpus= option.) For such possible cpus, pxm<->nid should be fixed at hot-add. We now have acpi_map_pxm_to_node() which is also used at boot. It's suitable here.
