With x86_64 (config http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/config-akpm2.txt) and old gcc (4.4.4), drivers/base/node.c:node_read_meminfo() is using 2344 bytes of stack. Uninlining node_page_state() reduces this to 440 bytes. The stack consumption issue is fixed by newer gcc (4.8.4) however with that compiler this patch reduces the node.o text size from 7314 bytes to 4578.

This came up when implementing HIHGMEM/PAE40 for ARC. The kmap() / kmap_atomic() generated code seemed needlessly bloated due to the way PageHighMem() macro is implemented. It derives the exact zone for page and then does pointer subtraction with first zone to infer the zone_type. The pointer arithmatic in turn generates the code bloat. PageHighMem(page) is_highmem(page_zone(page)) zone_off = (char *)zone - (char *)zone->zone_pgdat->node_zones Instead use is_highmem_idx() to work on zone_type available in page flags ----- Before ----- 80756348: mov_s r13,r0 8075634a: ld_s r2,[r13,0] 8075634c: lsr_s r2,r2,30 8075634e: mpy r2,r2,0x2a4 80756352: add_s r2,r2,0x80aef880 80756358: ld_s r3,[r2,28] 8075635a: sub_s r2,r2,r3 8075635c: breq r2,0x2a4,80756378 <kmap+0x48> 80756364: breq r2,0x548,80756378 <kmap+0x48> ----- After ----- 80756330: mov_s r13,r0 80756332: ld_s r2,[r13,0] 80756334: lsr_s r2,r2,30 80756336: sub_s r2,r2,1 80756338: brlo r2,2,80756348 <kmap+0x30> For x86 defconfig build (32 bit only) it saves around 900 bytes.

The oom killer takes task_lock() in a couple of places solely to protect printing the task's comm. A process's comm, including current's comm, may change due to /proc/pid/comm or PR_SET_NAME. The comm will always be NULL-terminated, so the worst race scenario would only be during update. We can tolerate a comm being printed that is in the middle of an update to avoid taking the lock. Other locations in the kernel have already dropped task_lock() when printing comm, so this is consistent.

Compaction returns prematurely with COMPACT_PARTIAL when contended or has fatal signal pending. This is ok for the callers, but might be misleading in the traces, as the usual reason to return COMPACT_PARTIAL is that we think the allocation should succeed. After this patch we distinguish the premature ending condition in the mm_compaction_finished and mm_compaction_end tracepoints. The contended status covers the following reasons: - lock contention or need_resched() detected in async compaction - fatal signal pending - too many pages isolated in the zone (only for async compaction) Further distinguishing the exact reason seems unnecessary for now.

Some compaction tracepoints use zone->name to print which zone is being compacted. This works for in-kernel printing, but not userspace trace printing of raw captured trace such as via trace-cmd report. This patch uses zone_idx() instead of zone->name as the raw value, and when printing, converts the zone_type to string using the appropriate EM() macros and some ugly tricks to overcome the problem that half the values depend on CONFIG_ options and one does not simply use #ifdef inside of #define. trace-cmd output before: transhuge-stres-4235 [000] 453.149280: mm_compaction_finished: node=0 zone=ffffffff81815d7a order=9 ret=partial after: transhuge-stres-4235 [000] 453.149280: mm_compaction_finished: node=0 zone=Normal order=9 ret=partial Signed-off-by: NVlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Reviewed-by: NSteven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Valentin Rothberg <valentinrothberg@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

filemap_fdatawait() is a function to wait for on-going writeback to complete but also consume and clear error status of the mapping set during writeback. The latter functionality is critical for applications to detect writeback error with system calls like fsync(2)/fdatasync(2). However filemap_fdatawait() is also used by sync(2) or FIFREEZE ioctl, which don't check error status of individual mappings. As a result, fsync() may not be able to detect writeback error if events happen in the following order: Application System admin ---------------------------------------------------------- write data on page cache Run sync command writeback completes with error filemap_fdatawait() clears error fsync returns success (but the data is not on disk) This patch adds filemap_fdatawait_keep_errors() for call sites where writeback error is not handled so that they don't clear error status.

Maximal readahead size is limited now by two values: 1) by global 2Mb constant (MAX_READAHEAD in max_sane_readahead()) 2) by configurable per-device value* (bdi->ra_pages) There are devices, which require custom readahead limit. For instance, for RAIDs it's calculated as number of devices multiplied by chunk size times 2. Readahead size can never be larger than bdi->ra_pages * 2 value (POSIX_FADV_SEQUNTIAL doubles readahead size). If so, why do we need two limits? I suggest to completely remove this max_sane_readahead() stuff and use per-device readahead limit everywhere. Also, using right readahead size for RAID disks can significantly increase i/o performance: before: dd if=/dev/md2 of=/dev/null bs=100M count=100 100+0 records in 100+0 records out 10485760000 bytes (10 GB) copied, 12.9741 s, 808 MB/s after: $ dd if=/dev/md2 of=/dev/null bs=100M count=100 100+0 records in 100+0 records out 10485760000 bytes (10 GB) copied, 8.91317 s, 1.2 GB/s (It's an 8-disks RAID5 storage).

Commit a2f3aa02 ("[PATCH] Fix sparsemem on Cell") fixed an oops experienced on the Cell architecture when init-time functions, early_*(), are called at runtime by introducing an 'enum memmap_context' parameter to memmap_init_zone() and init_currently_empty_zone(). This parameter is intended to be used to tell whether the call of these two functions is being made on behalf of a hotplug event, or happening at boot-time. However, init_currently_empty_zone() does not use this parameter at all, so remove it.

__memcg_kmem_bypass() decides whether a kmem allocation should be bypassed to the root memcg. Some conditions that it tests are valid criteria regarding who should be held accountable; however, there are a couple unnecessary tests for cold paths - __GFP_FAIL and fatal_signal_pending(). The previous patch updated try_charge() to handle both __GFP_FAIL and dying tasks correctly and the only thing these two tests are doing is making accounting less accurate and sprinkling tests for cold path conditions in the hot paths. There's nothing meaningful gained by these extra tests. This patch removes the two unnecessary tests from __memcg_kmem_bypass().

Currently, try_charge() tries to reclaim memory synchronously when the high limit is breached; however, if the allocation doesn't have __GFP_WAIT, synchronous reclaim is skipped. If a process performs only speculative allocations, it can blow way past the high limit. This is actually easily reproducible by simply doing "find /". slab/slub allocator tries speculative allocations first, so as long as there's memory which can be consumed without blocking, it can keep allocating memory regardless of the high limit. This patch makes try_charge() always punt the over-high reclaim to the return-to-userland path. If try_charge() detects that high limit is breached, it adds the overage to current->memcg_nr_pages_over_high and schedules execution of mem_cgroup_handle_over_high() which performs synchronous reclaim from the return-to-userland path. As long as kernel doesn't have a run-away allocation spree, this should provide enough protection while making kmemcg behave more consistently. It also has the following benefits. - All over-high reclaims can use GFP_KERNEL regardless of the specific gfp mask in use, e.g. GFP_NOFS, when the limit was breached. - It copes with prio inversion. Previously, a low-prio task with small memory.high might perform over-high reclaim with a bunch of locks held. If a higher prio task needed any of these locks, it would have to wait until the low prio task finished reclaim and released the locks. By handing over-high reclaim to the task exit path this issue can be avoided.

probe_kernel_address() is basically the same as the (later added) probe_kernel_read(). The return value on EFAULT is a bit different: probe_kernel_address() returns number-of-bytes-not-copied whereas probe_kernel_read() returns -EFAULT. All callers have been checked, none cared. probe_kernel_read() can be overridden by the architecture whereas probe_kernel_address() cannot. parisc, blackfin and um do this, to insert additional checking. Hence this patch possibly fixes obscure bugs, although there are only two probe_kernel_address() callsites outside arch/. My first attempt involved removing probe_kernel_address() entirely and converting all callsites to use probe_kernel_read() directly, but that got tiresome.

Make struct callback_head aligned to size of pointer. On most architectures it happens naturally due ABI requirements, but some architectures (like CRIS) have weird ABI and we need to ask it explicitly. The alignment is required to guarantee that bits 0 and 1 of @next will be clear under normal conditions -- as long as we use call_rcu(), call_rcu_bh(), call_rcu_sched(), or call_srcu() to queue callback. This guarantee is important for few reasons: - future call_rcu_lazy() will make use of lower bits in the pointer; - the structure shares storage spacer in struct page with @compound_head, which encode PageTail() in bit 0. The guarantee is needed to avoid false-positive PageTail(). False postive PageTail() caused crash on crisv32[1]. It happend due misaligned task_struct->rcu, which was byte-aligned.

This seems to be a mis-reading of how alpha memory ordering works, and is not backed up by the alpha architecture manual. The helper functions don't do anything special on any other architectures, and the arguments that support them being safe on other architectures also argue that they are safe on alpha. Basically, the "control dependency" is between a previous read and a subsequent write that is dependent on the value read. Even if the subsequent write is actually done speculatively, there is no way that such a speculative write could be made visible to other cpu's until it has been committed, which requires validating the speculation. Note that most weakely ordered architectures (very much including alpha) do not guarantee any ordering relationship between two loads that depend on each other on a control dependency: read A if (val == 1) read B because the conditional may be predicted, and the "read B" may be speculatively moved up to before reading the value A. So we require the user to insert a smp_rmb() between the two accesses to be correct: read A; if (A == 1) smp_rmb() read B Alpha is further special in that it can break that ordering even if the *address* of B depends on the read of A, because the cacheline that is read later may be stale unless you have a memory barrier in between the pointer read and the read of the value behind a pointer: read ptr read offset(ptr) whereas all other weakly ordered architectures guarantee that the data dependency (as opposed to just a control dependency) will order the two accesses. As a result, alpha needs a "smp_read_barrier_depends()" in between those two reads for them to be ordered. The coontrol dependency that "READ_ONCE_CTRL()" and "atomic_read_ctrl()" had was a control dependency to a subsequent *write*, however, and nobody can finalize such a subsequent write without having actually done the read. And were you to write such a value to a "stale" cacheline (the way the unordered reads came to be), that would seem to lose the write entirely. So the things that make alpha able to re-order reads even more aggressively than other weak architectures do not seem to be relevant for a subsequent write. Alpha memory ordering may be strange, but there's no real indication that it is *that* strange. Also, the alpha architecture reference manual very explicitly talks about the definition of "Dependence Constraints" in section 5.6.1.7, where a preceding read dominates a subsequent write. Such a dependence constraint admittedly does not impose a BEFORE (alpha architecture term for globally visible ordering), but it does guarantee that there can be no "causal loop". I don't see how you could avoid such a loop if another cpu could see the stored value and then impact the value of the first read. Put another way: the read and the write could not be seen as being out of order wrt other cpus. So I do not see how these "x_ctrl()" functions can currently be necessary. I may have to eat my words at some point, but in the absense of clear proof that alpha actually needs this, or indeed even an explanation of how alpha could _possibly_ need it, I do not believe these functions are called for. And if it turns out that alpha really _does_ need a barrier for this case, that barrier still should not be "smp_read_barrier_depends()". We'd have to make up some new speciality barrier just for alpha, along with the documentation for why it really is necessary.

For cases where CONFIG_LBDAF is not set. The struct ppa_addr exceeds its type on 32 bit architectures. ppa_addr requires a 64bit integer to hold the generic ppa format. We therefore refactor it to u64 and replaces the sector_t usages with u64 for physical addresses. Signed-off-by: NMatias Bjørling <m@bjorling.me> Signed-off-by: NJens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

As pointed out by Nikolay and further explained by Geert, the initial for_each_netdev_feature macro was broken, as feature would get set outside of the block of code it was intended to run in, thus only ever working for the first feature bit in the mask. While less pretty this way, this is tested and confirmed functional with multiple feature bits set in NETIF_F_UPPER_DISABLES. [root@dell-per730-01 ~]# ethtool -K bond0 lro off ...

Currently, iwlmvm already implements that behaviour; the other drivers implementing CQM RSSI events may have to be changed.

This patch adds device tree support for the netxbig LEDs. This also introduces a additionnal DT binding for the GPIO extension bus (netxbig-gpio-ext) used to configure the LEDs. Since this bus could also be used to control other devices, then it seems more suitable to have it in a separate DT binding.

There are some netdev features, which when disabled on an upper device, such as a bonding master or a bridge, must be disabled and cannot be re-enabled on underlying devices. This is a rework of an earlier more heavy-handed appraoch, which simply disables and prevents re-enabling of netdev features listed in a new define in include/net/netdev_features.h, NETIF_F_UPPER_DISABLES. Any upper device that disables a flag in that feature mask, the disabling will propagate down the stack, and any lower device that has any upper device with one of those flags disabled should not be able to enable said flag. Initially, only LRO is included for proof of concept, and because this code effectively does the same thing as dev_disable_lro(), though it will also activate from the ethtool path, which was one of the goals here.

Turning LRO on or off on the master also turns it on or off on each of the slaves, new slaves are added with LRO in the same state as the master, and LRO can't be toggled on the slaves. Also, this should largely remove the need for dev_disable_lro(), and most, if not all, of its call sites can be replaced by simply making sure NETIF_F_LRO isn't included in the relevant device's feature flags. Note that this patch is driven by bug reports from users saying it was confusing that bonds and slaves had different settings for the same features, and while it won't be 100% in sync if a lower device doesn't support a feature like LRO, I think this is a good step in the right direction.

This work adds support for "persistent" eBPF maps/programs. The term "persistent" is to be understood that maps/programs have a facility that lets them survive process termination. This is desired by various eBPF subsystem users. Just to name one example: tc classifier/action. Whenever tc parses the ELF object, extracts and loads maps/progs into the kernel, these file descriptors will be out of reach after the tc instance exits. So a subsequent tc invocation won't be able to access/relocate on this resource, and therefore maps cannot easily be shared, f.e. between the ingress and egress networking data path. The current workaround is that Unix domain sockets (UDS) need to be instrumented in order to pass the created eBPF map/program file descriptors to a third party management daemon through UDS' socket passing facility. This makes it a bit complicated to deploy shared eBPF maps or programs (programs f.e. for tail calls) among various processes. We've been brainstorming on how we could tackle this issue and various approches have been tried out so far, which can be read up further in the below reference. The architecture we eventually ended up with is a minimal file system that can hold map/prog objects. The file system is a per mount namespace singleton, and the default mount point is /sys/fs/bpf/. Any subsequent mounts within a given namespace will point to the same instance. The file system allows for creating a user-defined directory structure. The objects for maps/progs are created/fetched through bpf(2) with two new commands (BPF_OBJ_PIN/BPF_OBJ_GET). I.e. a bpf file descriptor along with a pathname is being passed to bpf(2) that in turn creates (we call it eBPF object pinning) the file system nodes. Only the pathname is being passed to bpf(2) for getting a new BPF file descriptor to an existing node. The user can use that to access maps and progs later on, through bpf(2). Removal of file system nodes is being managed through normal VFS functions such as unlink(2), etc. The file system code is kept to a very minimum and can be further extended later on. The next step I'm working on is to add dump eBPF map/prog commands to bpf(2), so that a specification from a given file descriptor can be retrieved. This can be used by things like CRIU but also applications can inspect the meta data after calling BPF_OBJ_GET. Big thanks also to Alexei and Hannes who significantly contributed in the design discussion that eventually let us end up with this architecture here.

Add a bpf_map_get() function that we're going to use later on and align/clean the remaining helpers a bit so that we have them a bit more consistent: - __bpf_map_get() and __bpf_prog_get() that both work on the fd struct, check whether the descriptor is eBPF and return the pointer to the map/prog stored in the private data. Also, we can return f.file->private_data directly, the function signature is enough of a documentation already. - bpf_map_get() and bpf_prog_get() that both work on u32 user fd, call their respective __bpf_map_get()/__bpf_prog_get() variants, and take a reference.

This patch fixes following problems : 1) percpu_counter_init() can return an error, therefore init_frag_mem_limit() must propagate this error so that inet_frags_init_net() can do the same up to its callers. 2) If ip[46]_frags_ns_ctl_register() fail, we must unwind properly and free the percpu_counter. Without this fix, we leave freed object in percpu_counters global list (if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU) leading to crashes.

It turns out that at least some versions of glibc end up reading /proc/meminfo at every single startup, because glibc wants to know the amount of memory the machine has. And while that's arguably insane, it's just how things are. And it turns out that it's not all that expensive most of the time, but the vmalloc information statistics (amount of virtual memory used in the vmalloc space, and the biggest remaining chunk) can be rather expensive to compute. The 'get_vmalloc_info()' function actually showed up on my profiles as 4% of the CPU usage of "make test" in the git source repository, because the git tests are lots of very short-lived shell-scripts etc. It turns out that apparently this same silly vmalloc info gathering shows up on the facebook servers too, according to Dave Jones. So it's not just "make test" for git. We had two patches to just cache the information (one by me, one by Ingo) to mitigate this issue, but the whole vmalloc information of of rather dubious value to begin with, and people who *actually* want to know what the situation is wrt the vmalloc area should just look at the much more complete /proc/vmallocinfo instead. In fact, according to my testing - and perhaps more importantly, according to that big search engine in the sky: Google - there is nothing out there that actually cares about those two expensive fields: VmallocUsed and VmallocChunk. So let's try to just remove them entirely. Actually, this just removes the computation and reports the numbers as zero for now, just to try to be minimally intrusive. If this breaks anything, we'll obviously have to re-introduce the code to compute this all and add the caching patches on top. But if given the option, I'd really prefer to just remove this bad idea entirely rather than add even more code to work around our historical mistake that likely nobody really cares about.

When fib_netdev_event calls fib_disable_ip on NETDEV_DOWN event we should not delete the local routes if the local address is still present. The confusion comes from the fact that both fib_netdev_event and fib_inetaddr_event use the NETDEV_DOWN constant. Fix it by returning back the variable 'force'.
