      lib/idr.c: use kmem_cache_zalloc() for the idr_layer cache · 5b019e99
      Andrew Morton 提交于
      David points out that the idr_remove_all() function returns unused slabs
      to the kmem cache, but needs to zero them first or else they will be
      uninitialized upon next use.  This causes crashes which have been observed
      in the firewire subsystem.
      
      He fixed this by zeroing the object before freeing it in idr_remove_all().
      
      But we agree that simply removing the constructor and zeroing the object
      at allocation time is simpler than relying upon slab constructor machinery
      and might even be faster.
      
      This problem was introduced by "idr: make idr_remove rcu-safe" (commit
      cf481c20), which was first released in
      2.6.27.
      
      There are no known codesites which trigger this bug in 2.6.27 or 2.6.28.
      The post-2.6.28 firewire changes are the only known triggerer.
      
      There might of course be not-yet-discovered triggerers in 2.6.27 and
      2.6.28, and there might be out-of-tree triggerers which are added to those
      kernel versions.  I'll let the -stable guys decide whether they want to
      backport this fix.

      NOMMU: Make VMAs per MM as for MMU-mode linux · 8feae131
      David Howells 提交于
      Make VMAs per mm_struct as for MMU-mode linux.  This solves two problems:
      
       (1) In SYSV SHM where nattch for a segment does not reflect the number of
           shmat's (and forks) done.
      
       (2) In mmap() where the VMA's vm_mm is set to point to the parent mm by an
           exec'ing process when VM_EXECUTABLE is specified, regardless of the fact
           that a VMA might be shared and already have its vm_mm assigned to another
           process or a dead process.
      
      A new struct (vm_region) is introduced to track a mapped region and to remember
      the circumstances under which it may be shared and the vm_list_struct structure
      is discarded as it's no longer required.
      
      This patch makes the following additional changes:
      
       (1) Regions are now allocated with alloc_pages() rather than kmalloc() and
           with no recourse to __GFP_COMP, so the pages are not composite.  Instead,
           each page has a reference on it held by the region.  Anything else that is
           interested in such a page will have to get a reference on it to retain it.
           When the pages are released due to unmapping, each page is passed to
           put_page() and will be freed when the page usage count reaches zero.
      
       (2) Excess pages are trimmed after an allocation as the allocation must be
           made as a power-of-2 quantity of pages.
      
       (3) VMAs are added to the parent MM's R/B tree and mmap lists.  As an MM may
           end up with overlapping VMAs within the tree, the VMA struct address is
           appended to the sort key.
      
       (4) Non-anonymous VMAs are now added to the backing inode's prio list.
      
       (5) Holes may be punched in anonymous VMAs with munmap(), releasing parts of
           the backing region.  The VMA and region structs will be split if
           necessary.
      
       (6) sys_shmdt() only releases one attachment to a SYSV IPC shared memory
           segment instead of all the attachments at that addresss.  Multiple
           shmat()'s return the same address under NOMMU-mode instead of different
           virtual addresses as under MMU-mode.
      
       (7) Core dumping for ELF-FDPIC requires fewer exceptions for NOMMU-mode.
      
       (8) /proc/maps is now the global list of mapped regions, and may list bits
           that aren't actually mapped anywhere.
      
       (9) /proc/meminfo gains a line (tagged "MmapCopy") that indicates the amount
           of RAM currently allocated by mmap to hold mappable regions that can't be
           mapped directly.  These are copies of the backing device or file if not
           anonymous.
      
      These changes make NOMMU mode more similar to MMU mode.  The downside is that
      NOMMU mode requires some extra memory to track things over NOMMU without this
      patch (VMAs are no longer shared, and there are now region structs).
