Introduce a field per_bio_data_size in struct dm_target. Targets can set this field in the constructor. If a target sets this field to a non-zero value, "per_bio_data_size" bytes of auxiliary data are allocated for each bio submitted to the target. These data can be used for any purpose by the target and help us improve performance by removing some per-target mempools. Per-bio data is accessed with dm_per_bio_data. The argument data_size must be the same as the value per_bio_data_size in dm_target. If the target has a pointer to per_bio_data, it can get a pointer to the bio with dm_bio_from_per_bio_data() function (data_size must be the same as the value passed to dm_per_bio_data).

This reverts commits a5091539 and d7c3b937. This is a revert of a revert of a revert. In addition, it reverts the even older i915 change to stop using the __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag due to the original commits in linux-next. It turns out that the original patch really was bogus, and that the original revert was the correct thing to do after all. We thought we had fixed the problem, and then reverted the revert, but the problem really is fundamental: waking up kswapd simply isn't the right thing to do, and direct reclaim sometimes simply _is_ the right thing to do. When certain allocations fail, we simply should try some direct reclaim, and if that fails, fail the allocation. That's the right thing to do for THP allocations, which can easily fail, and the GPU allocations want to do that too. So starting kswapd is sometimes simply wrong, and removing the flag that said "don't start kswapd" was a mistake. Let's hope we never revisit this mistake again - and certainly not this many times ;) Acked-by: NMel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Acked-by: NJohannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

commit 2e71a6f8 (net: gro: selective flush of packets) added a bug for skbs using frag_list. This part of the GRO stack is rarely used, as it needs skb not using a page fragment for their skb->head. Most drivers do use a page fragment, but some of them use GFP_KERNEL allocations for the initial fill of their RX ring buffer. napi_gro_flush() overwrite skb->prev that was used for these skb to point to the last skb in frag_list. Fix this using a separate field in struct napi_gro_cb to point to the last fragment. Signed-off-by: NEric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

If SYN-ACK partially acks SYN-data, the client retransmits the remaining data by tcp_retransmit_skb(). This increments lost recovery state variables like tp->retrans_out in Open state. If loss recovery happens before the retransmission is acked, it triggers the WARN_ON check in tcp_fastretrans_alert(). For example: the client sends SYN-data, gets SYN-ACK acking only ISN, retransmits data, sends another 4 data packets and get 3 dupacks. Since the retransmission is not caused by network drop it should not update the recovery state variables. Further the server may return a smaller MSS than the cached MSS used for SYN-data, so the retranmission needs a loop. Otherwise some data will not be retransmitted until timeout or other loss recovery events.

This fixes a regression in 3.7-rc, which has since gone into stable. Commit 00442ad0 ("mempolicy: fix a memory corruption by refcount imbalance in alloc_pages_vma()") changed get_vma_policy() to raise the refcount on a shmem shared mempolicy; whereas shmem_alloc_page() went on expecting alloc_page_vma() to drop the refcount it had acquired. This deserves a rework: but for now fix the leak in shmem_alloc_page(). Hugh: shmem_swapin() did not need a fix, but surely it's clearer to use the same refcounting there as in shmem_alloc_page(), delete its onstack mempolicy, and the strange mpol_cond_copy() and __mpol_cond_copy() - those were invented to let swapin_readahead() make an unknown number of calls to alloc_pages_vma() with one mempolicy; but since 00442ad0, alloc_pages_vma() has kept refcount in balance, so now no problem.

With "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction based on failures" reverted, Zdenek Kabelac reported the following Hmm, so it's just took longer to hit the problem and observe kswapd0 spinning on my CPU again - it's not as endless like before - but still it easily eats minutes - it helps to turn off Firefox or TB (memory hungry apps) so kswapd0 stops soon - and restart those apps again. (And I still have like >1GB of cached memory) kswapd0 R running task 0 30 2 0x00000000 Call Trace: preempt_schedule+0x42/0x60 _raw_spin_unlock+0x55/0x60 put_super+0x31/0x40 drop_super+0x22/0x30 prune_super+0x149/0x1b0 shrink_slab+0xba/0x510 The sysrq+m indicates the system has no swap so it'll never reclaim anonymous pages as part of reclaim/compaction. That is one part of the problem but not the root cause as file-backed pages could also be reclaimed. The likely underlying problem is that kswapd is woken up or kept awake for each THP allocation request in the page allocator slow path. If compaction fails for the requesting process then compaction will be deferred for a time and direct reclaim is avoided. However, if there are a storm of THP requests that are simply rejected, it will still be the the case that kswapd is awake for a prolonged period of time as pgdat->kswapd_max_order is updated each time. This is noticed by the main kswapd() loop and it will not call kswapd_try_to_sleep(). Instead it will loopp, shrinking a small number of pages and calling shrink_slab() on each iteration. The temptation is to supply a patch that checks if kswapd was woken for THP and if so ignore pgdat->kswapd_max_order but it'll be a hack and not backed up by proper testing. As 3.7 is very close to release and this is not a bug we should release with, a safer path is to revert "mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD" for now and revisit it with the view to ironing out the balance_pgdat() logic in general.

This bug-fix makes sure that of_iomap is defined extern for sparc so that the sparc-specific implementation of_iomap is once again used when including include/linux/of_address.h in a sparc context. OF_GPIO that is now available for sparc relies on this. The bug was inadvertently introduced in a850a755, "of/address: add empty static inlines for !CONFIG_OF", that added a static dummy inline for of_iomap when !CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS. However, CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS is never defined for sparc, but there is a sparc-specific implementation /arch/sparc/kernel/of_device_common.c. This fix takes the same approach as 0bce04be that solved the equivalent problem for of_address_to_resource.

Make perf build for x86 once the UAPI disintegration patches for that arch have been applied by adding the appropriate -I flags - in the right order - and then converting some #includes that use ../.. notation to find main kernel headerfiles to use <asm/foo.h> and <linux/foo.h> instead. Note that -Iarch/foo/include/uapi is present _before_ -Iarch/foo/include. This makes sure we get the userspace version of the pt_regs struct. Ideally, we wouldn't have the latter -I flag at all, but unfortunately we want asm/svm.h and asm/vmx.h in builtin-kvm.c and these aren't part of the UAPI - at least not for x86. I wonder if the bits outside of the __KERNEL__ guards *should* be transferred there. I note also that perf seems to do its dependency handling manually by listing all the header files it might want to use in LIB_H in the Makefile. Can this be changed to use -MD? Note that to do make this work, we need to export and UAPI disintegrate linux/hw_breakpoint.h, which I think should've been exported previously so that perf can access the bits. We have to do this in the same patch to maintain bisectability. Signed-off-by: NDavid Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

Revert commit 7f1290f2 ("mm: fix-up zone present pages") That patch tried to fix a issue when calculating zone->present_pages, but it caused a regression on 32bit systems with HIGHMEM. With that change, reset_zone_present_pages() resets all zone->present_pages to zero, and fixup_zone_present_pages() is called to recalculate zone->present_pages when the boot allocator frees core memory pages into buddy allocator. Because highmem pages are not freed by bootmem allocator, all highmem zones' present_pages becomes zero. Various options for improving the situation are being discussed but for now, let's return to the 3.6 code.

When MEMCG is configured on (even when it's disabled by boot option), when adding or removing a page to/from its lru list, the zone pointer used for stats updates is nowadays taken from the struct lruvec. (On many configurations, calculating zone from page is slower.) But we have no code to update all the lruvecs (per zone, per memcg) when a memory node is hotadded. Here's an extract from the oops which results when running numactl to bind a program to a newly onlined node: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000f60 IP: __mod_zone_page_state+0x9/0x60 Pid: 1219, comm: numactl Not tainted 3.6.0-rc5+ #180 Bochs Bochs Process numactl (pid: 1219, threadinfo ffff880039abc000, task ffff8800383c4ce0) Call Trace: __pagevec_lru_add_fn+0xdf/0x140 pagevec_lru_move_fn+0xb1/0x100 __pagevec_lru_add+0x1c/0x30 lru_add_drain_cpu+0xa3/0x130 lru_add_drain+0x2f/0x40 ... The natural solution might be to use a memcg callback whenever memory is hotadded; but that solution has not been scoped out, and it happens that we do have an easy location at which to update lruvec->zone. The lruvec pointer is discovered either by mem_cgroup_zone_lruvec() or by mem_cgroup_page_lruvec(), and both of those do know the right zone. So check and set lruvec->zone in those; and remove the inadequate attempt to set lruvec->zone from lruvec_init(), which is called before NODE_DATA(node) has been allocated in such cases. Ah, there was one exceptionr. For no particularly good reason, mem_cgroup_force_empty_list() has its own code for deciding lruvec. Change it to use the standard mem_cgroup_zone_lruvec() and mem_cgroup_get_lru_size() too. In fact it was already safe against such an oops (the lru lists in danger could only be empty), but we're better proofed against future changes this way. I've marked this for stable (3.6) since we introduced the problem in 3.5 (now closed to stable); but I have no idea if this is the only fix needed to get memory hotadd working with memcg in 3.6, and received no answer when I enquired twice before.

Implement support for WRITE SAME(10) and WRITE SAME(16) in the SCSI disk driver. - We set the default maximum to 0xFFFF because there are several devices out there that only support two-byte block counts even with WRITE SAME(16). We only enable transfers bigger than 0xFFFF if the device explicitly reports MAXIMUM WRITE SAME LENGTH in the BLOCK LIMITS VPD. - max_write_same_blocks can be overriden per-device basis in sysfs. - The UNMAP discovery heuristics remain unchanged but the discard limits are tweaked to match the "real" WRITE SAME commands. - In the error handling logic we now distinguish between WRITE SAME with and without UNMAP set. The discovery process heuristics are: - If the device reports a SCSI level of SPC-3 or greater we'll issue READ SUPPORTED OPERATION CODES to find out whether WRITE SAME(16) is supported. If that's the case we will use it. - If the device supports the block limits VPD and reports a MAXIMUM WRITE SAME LENGTH bigger than 0xFFFF we will use WRITE SAME(16). - Otherwise we will use WRITE SAME(10) unless the target LBA is beyond 0xFFFFFFFF or the block count exceeds 0xFFFF. - no_write_same is set for ATA, FireWire and USB.

Contrary to that commit title, the static inlines are added for !CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS, and CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS is never defined for sparc. This is good behavior for the other functions in include/linux/of_address.h, as the extern functions defined in drivers/of/address.c only gets linked when OF_ADDRESS is configured.

At some point, a thread wants to delete (EPOLL_CTL_DEL) : a file descriptor from the epoll interest list, and : delete the corresponding record from the user-space cache. : : 3. The problem with (2) is that some other thread may have : previously done an epoll_wait() that retrieved information : about the fd in question, and may be in the middle of using : information in the cache that relates to that fd. Thus, : there is a potential race. : : 4. The race can't solved purely in user space, because doing : so would require applying a mutex across the epoll_wait() : call, which would of course blow thread concurrency. : : Right? : : Your solution is the EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE operation. I want to : confirm my understanding about how to use this flag, since : the description that has accompanied the patches so far : has been a bit sparse : : 0. In the scenario you're concerned about, deleting a file : descriptor means (safely) doing the following: : (a) Deleting the file descriptor from the epoll interest list : using EPOLL_CTL_DEL : (b) Deleting the corresponding record in the user-space cache : : 1. It's only meaningful to use this EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE in : conjunction with EPOLLONESHOT. : : 2. Using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE without using EPOLLONESHOT in : conjunction is a logical error. : : 3. The correct way to code multithreaded applications using : EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE and EPOLLONESHOT is as follows: : : a. All EPOLL_CTL_ADD and EPOLL_CTL_MOD operations should : should EPOLLONESHOT. : : b. When a thread wants to delete a file descriptor, it : should do the following: : : [1] Call epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) : [2] If the return status from epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) : was zero, then the file descriptor can be safely : deleted by the thread that made this call. : [3] If the epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) fails with EBUSY, : then the descriptor is in use. In this case, the calling : thread should set a flag in the user-space cache to : indicate that the thread that is using the descriptor : should perform the deletion operation. : : Is all of the above correct? : : The implementation depends on checking on whether : (events & ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS) == 0 : This replies on the fact that EPOLL_CTL_AD and EPOLL_CTL_MOD always : set EPOLLHUP and EPOLLERR in the 'events' mask, and EPOLLONESHOT : causes those flags (as well as all others in ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS) to be : cleared. : : A corollary to the previous paragraph is that using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE : is only useful in conjunction with EPOLLONESHOT. However, as things : stand, one can use EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE on a file descriptor that does : not have EPOLLONESHOT set in 'events' This results in the following : (slightly surprising) behavior: : : (a) The first call to epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) returns 0 : (the indicator that the file descriptor can be safely deleted). : (b) The next call to epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) fails with EBUSY. : : This doesn't seem particularly useful, and in fact is probably an : indication that the user made a logic error: they should only be using : epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) on a file descriptor for which : EPOLLONESHOT was set in 'events'. If that is correct, then would it : not make sense to return an error to user space for this case? Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> Cc: "Paton J.

CMD23 causes lots of errors in kernel on some freescale SoCs (P1020, P1021, P1022, P1024, P1025 and P4080) when MMC card used, which is because these controllers does not support CMD23, even on the SoCs which declares CMD23 is supported.

ocp2scp was not having pdata support which makes *musb* fail for non-dt boot in OMAP platform. The pdata will have information about the devices that is connected to ocp2scp. ocp2scp driver will now make use of this information to create the devices that is attached to ocp2scp.

After commit b3356bf0 (KVM: emulator: optimize "rep ins" handling), the pieces of io data can be collected and write them to the guest memory or MMIO together Unfortunately, kvm splits the mmio access into 8 bytes and store them to vcpu->mmio_fragments. If the guest uses "rep ins" to move large data, it will cause vcpu->mmio_fragments overflow The bug can be exposed by isapc (-M isapc): [23154.818733] general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC [ ......] [23154.858083] Call Trace: [23154.859874] [<ffffffffa04f0e17>] kvm_get_cr8+0x1d/0x28 [kvm] [23154.861677] [<ffffffffa04fa6d4>] kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0xcda/0xe45 [kvm] [23154.863604] [<ffffffffa04f5a1a>] ? kvm_arch_vcpu_load+0x17b/0x180 [kvm] Actually, we can use one mmio_fragment to store a large mmio access then split it when we pass the mmio-exit-info to userspace. After that, we only need two entries to store mmio info for the cross-mmio pages access Signed-off-by: NXiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NMarcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

As Mukesh explained it, the MMUEXT_TLB_FLUSH_ALL allows the hypervisor to do a TLB flush on all active vCPUs. If instead we were using the generic one (which ends up being xen_flush_tlb) we end up making the MMUEXT_TLB_FLUSH_LOCAL hypercall. But before we make that hypercall the kernel will IPI all of the vCPUs (even those that were asleep from the hypervisor perspective). The end result is that we needlessly wake them up and do a TLB flush when we can just let the hypervisor do it correctly. This patch gives around 50% speed improvement when migrating idle guest's from one host to another.
