compat_alloc_user_space() expects the caller to independently call access_ok() to verify the returned area. A missing call could introduce problems on some architectures. This patch incorporates the access_ok() check into compat_alloc_user_space() and also adds a sanity check on the length. The existing compat_alloc_user_space() implementations are renamed arch_compat_alloc_user_space() and are used as part of the implementation of the new global function. This patch assumes NULL will cause __get_user()/__put_user() to either fail or access userspace on all architectures. This should be followed by checking the return value of compat_access_user_space() for NULL in the callers, at which time the access_ok() in the callers can also be removed.

mm: page allocator: calculate a better estimate of NR_FREE_PAGES when memory is low and kswapd is awake Ordinarily watermark checks are based on the vmstat NR_FREE_PAGES as it is cheaper than scanning a number of lists. To avoid synchronization overhead, counter deltas are maintained on a per-cpu basis and drained both periodically and when the delta is above a threshold. On large CPU systems, the difference between the estimated and real value of NR_FREE_PAGES can be very high. If NR_FREE_PAGES is much higher than number of real free page in buddy, the VM can allocate pages below min watermark, at worst reducing the real number of pages to zero. Even if the OOM killer kills some victim for freeing memory, it may not free memory if the exit path requires a new page resulting in livelock. This patch introduces a zone_page_state_snapshot() function (courtesy of Christoph) that takes a slightly more accurate view of an arbitrary vmstat counter. It is used to read NR_FREE_PAGES while kswapd is awake to avoid the watermark being accidentally broken. The estimate is not perfect and may result in cache line bounces but is expected to be lighter than the IPI calls necessary to continually drain the per-cpu counters while kswapd is awake.

Tests with recent firmware on Intel X25-M 80GB and OCZ Vertex 60GB SSDs show a shift since I last tested in December: in part because of firmware updates, in part because of the necessary move from barriers to awaiting completion at the block layer. While discard at swapon still shows as slightly beneficial on both, discarding 1MB swap cluster when allocating is now disadvanteous: adds 25% overhead on Intel, adds 230% on OCZ (YMMV). Surrender: discard as presently implemented is more hindrance than help for swap; but might prove useful on other devices, or with improvements. So continue to do the discard at swapon, but make discard while swapping conditional on a SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD to sys_swapon() (which has been using only the lower 16 bits of int flags). We can add a --discard or -d to swapon(8), and a "discard" to swap in /etc/fstab: matching the mount option for btrfs, ext4, fat, gfs2, nilfs2.

Please revert 2.6.36-rc commit d2997b10 "hibernation: freeze swap at hibernation". It complicated matters by adding a second swap allocation path, just for hibernation; without in any way fixing the issue that it was intended to address - page reclaim after fixing the hibernation image might free swap from a page already imaged as swapcache, letting its swap be reallocated to store a different page of the image: resulting in data corruption if the imaged page were freed as clean then swapped back in. Pages freed to si->swap_map were still in danger of being reallocated by the alternative allocation path. I guess it inadvertently fixed slow SSD swap allocation for hibernation, as reported by Nigel Cunningham: by missing out the discards that occur on the usual swap allocation path; but that was unintentional, and needs a separate fix.

Replace the arbitrary software-reset call from the device-probe method, because: - It is defective. To work correctly, it should be two byte writes, not a single word write. As it stands, it does nothing. - Some devices with sx150x expanders installed have their NRESET pins ganged on the same line, so resetting one causes the others to reset - not a nice thing to do arbitrarily! - The probe, usually taking place at boot, implies a recent hard-reset, so a software reset at this point is just a waste of energy anyway. Therefore, make it optional, defaulting to off, as this will match the common case of probing at powerup and also matches the current broken no-op behavior.

The pte_same check is reliable only if the swap entry remains pinned (by the page lock on swapcache). We've also to ensure the swapcache isn't removed before we take the lock as try_to_free_swap won't care about the page pin. One of the possible impacts of this patch is that a KSM-shared page can point to the anon_vma of another process, which could exit before the page is freed. This can leave a page with a pointer to a recycled anon_vma object, or worse, a pointer to something that is no longer an anon_vma.

Add cgroup_attach_task_all() The existing cgroup_attach_task_current_cg() API is called by a thread to attach another thread to all of its cgroups; this is unsuitable for cases where a privileged task wants to attach itself to the cgroups of a less privileged one, since the call must be made from the context of the target task. This patch adds a more generic cgroup_attach_task_all() API that allows both the source task and to-be-moved task to be specified. cgroup_attach_task_current_cg() becomes a specialization of the more generic new function.

Alex Shi found a regression when doing ffsb test. The test has several threads, and each thread creates a small file, write to it and then delete it. ffsb reports about 20% regression and Alex bisected it to 43d2932d. The test will call __mark_inode_dirty 3 times. without this commit, we only take inode_lock one time, while with it, we take the lock 3 times with flags ( I_DIRTY_SYNC,I_DIRTY_PAGES,I_DIRTY). Perf shows the lock contention increased too much. Below proposed patch fixes it. fs is allocating blocks, which usually means file writes and the inode will be dirtied soon. We fully dirty the inode to reduce some inode_lock contention in several calls of __mark_inode_dirty. Jan Kara: Added comment.

commit 30fff923 introduced in linux-2.6.33 (udp: bind() optimisation) added a secondary hash on UDP, hashed on (local addr, local port). Problem is that following sequence : fd = socket(...) connect(fd, &remote, ...) not only selects remote end point (address and port), but also sets local address, while UDP stack stored in secondary hash table the socket while its local address was INADDR_ANY (or ipv6 equivalent) Sequence is : - autobind() : choose a random local port, insert socket in hash tables [while local address is INADDR_ANY] - connect() : set remote address and port, change local address to IP given by a route lookup. When an incoming UDP frame comes, if more than 10 sockets are found in primary hash table, we switch to secondary table, and fail to find socket because its local address changed. One solution to this problem is to rehash datagram socket if needed. We add a new rehash(struct socket *) method in "struct proto", and implement this method for UDP v4 & v6, using a common helper. This rehashing only takes care of secondary hash table, since primary hash (based on local port only) is not changed.

cwq->nr_active is used to keep track of how many work items are active for the cpu workqueue, where 'active' is defined as either pending on global worklist or executing. This is used to implement the max_active limit and workqueue freezing. If a work item is queued after nr_active has already reached max_active, the work item doesn't increment nr_active and is put on the delayed queue and gets activated later as previous active work items retire. try_to_grab_pending() which is used in the cancellation path unconditionally decremented nr_active whether the work item being cancelled is currently active or delayed, so cancelling a delayed work item makes nr_active underflow. This breaks max_active enforcement and triggers BUG_ON() in destroy_workqueue() later on. This patch fixes this bug by adding a flag WORK_STRUCT_DELAYED, which is set while a work item in on the delayed list and making try_to_grab_pending() decrement nr_active iff the work item is currently active. The addition of the flag enlarges cwq alignment to 256 bytes which is getting a bit too large. It's scheduled to be reduced back to 128 bytes by merging WORK_STRUCT_PENDING and WORK_STRUCT_CWQ in the next devel cycle.

It is possible that the BIOS will not grant control of all _OSC features requested via acpi_pci_osc_control_set(), so it is recommended to negotiate the final set of _OSC features with the query flag set before calling _OSC to request control of these features. To implement it, rework acpi_pci_osc_control_set() so that the caller can specify the mask of _OSC control bits to negotiate and the mask of _OSC control bits that are absolutely necessary to it. Then, acpi_pci_osc_control_set() will run _OSC queries in a loop until the mask of _OSC control bits returned by the BIOS is equal to the mask passed to it. Also, before running the _OSC request acpi_pci_osc_control_set() will check if the caller's required control bits are present in the final mask. Using this mechanism we will be able to avoid situations in which the BIOS doesn't grant control of certain _OSC features, because they depend on some other _OSC features that have not been requested.

There is the assumption in acpi_pci_osc_control_set() that it is always sufficient to compare the mask of _OSC control bits to be requested with the result of an _OSC query where all of the known control bits have been checked. However, in general, that need not be the case. For example, if an _OSC feature A depends on an _OSC feature B and control of A, B plus another _OSC feature C is requested simultaneously, the BIOS may return A, B, C, while it would only return C if A and C were requested without B. That may result in passing a wrong mask of _OSC control bits to an _OSC control request, in which case the BIOS may only grant control of a subset of the requested features. Moreover, acpi_pci_run_osc() will return error code if that happens and the caller of acpi_pci_osc_control_set() will not know that it's been granted control of some _OSC features. Consequently, the system will generally not work as expected. Apart from this acpi_pci_osc_control_set() always uses the mask of _OSC control bits returned by the very first invocation of acpi_pci_query_osc(), but that is done with the second argument equal to OSC_PCI_SEGMENT_GROUPS_SUPPORT which generally happens to affect the returned _OSC control bits. For these reasons, make acpi_pci_osc_control_set() always check if control of the requested _OSC features will be granted before making the final control request. As a result, the osc_control_qry and osc_queried members of struct acpi_pci_root are not necessary any more, so drop them and remove the remaining code referring to them. Signed-off-by: NRafael J.

Now that the worklist is global, having works pending after wq destruction can easily lead to oops and destroy_workqueue() have several BUG_ON()s to catch these cases. Unfortunately, BUG_ON() doesn't tell much about how the work became pending after the final flush_workqueue(). This patch adds WQ_DYING which is set before the final flush begins. If a work is requested to be queued on a dying workqueue, WARN_ON_ONCE() is triggered and the request is ignored. This clearly indicates which caller is trying to queue a work on a dying workqueue and keeps the system working in most cases. Locking rule comment is updated such that the 'I' rule includes modifying the field from destruction path. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

Break the kobject namespace defs into their own header to avoid a header file inclusion ordering problem between linux/sysfs.h and linux/kobject.h. This fixes the build breakage on older versions of gcc.

Currently drivers must do an elevator_exit() + elevator_init() to switch IO schedulers. There are a few problems with this: - Since commit 1abec4fd, elevator_init() requires a zeroed out q->elevator pointer. The two existing in-kernel users don't do that. - It will only work at initialization time, since using the above two-staged construct does not properly quisce the queue. So add elevator_change() which takes care of this, and convert the elv_iosched_store() sysfs interface to use this helper as well.

by defining in terms of (1<<N). XEN_UNPLUG_UNNECESSARY and XEN_UNPLUG_NEVER are only used within the kernel and are not defined as a bit on the unplug IO port. Therefore use a bit which is outside the potentially valid range of the 16 bit IO port.
