      mempolicy: silently restrict nodemask to allowed nodes · 31f1de46
      KOSAKI Motohiro 提交于
      Kosaki Motohito noted that "numactl --interleave=all ..." failed in the
      presence of memoryless nodes.  This patch attempts to fix that problem.
      
      Some background:
      
      numactl --interleave=all calls set_mempolicy(2) with a fully populated
      [out to MAXNUMNODES] nodemask.  set_mempolicy() [in do_set_mempolicy()]
      calls contextualize_policy() which requires that the nodemask be a
      subset of the current task's mems_allowed; else EINVAL will be returned.
      
      A task's mems_allowed will always be a subset of node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY]
      i.e., nodes with memory.  So, a fully populated nodemask will be
      declared invalid if it includes memoryless nodes.
      
        NOTE:  the same thing will occur when running in a cpuset
               with restricted mem_allowed--for the same reason:
               node mask contains dis-allowed nodes.
      
      mbind(2), on the other hand, just masks off any nodes in the nodemask
      that are not included in the caller's mems_allowed.
      
      In each case [mbind() and set_mempolicy()], mpol_check_policy() will
      complain [again, resulting in EINVAL] if the nodemask contains any
      memoryless nodes.  This is somewhat redundant as mpol_new() will remove
      memoryless nodes for interleave policy, as will bind_zonelist()--called
      by mpol_new() for BIND policy.
      
      Proposed fix:
      
      1) modify contextualize_policy logic to:
         a) remember whether the incoming node mask is empty.
         b) if not, restrict the nodemask to allowed nodes, as is
            currently done in-line for mbind().  This guarantees
            that the resulting mask includes only nodes with memory.
      
            NOTE:  this is a [benign, IMO] change in behavior for
                   set_mempolicy().  Dis-allowed nodes will be
                   silently ignored, rather than returning an error.
      
         c) fold this code into mpol_check_policy(), replace 2 calls to
            contextualize_policy() to call mpol_check_policy() directly
            and remove contextualize_policy().
      
      2) In existing mpol_check_policy() logic, after "contextualization":
         a) MPOL_DEFAULT:  require that in coming mask "was_empty"
         b) MPOL_{BIND|INTERLEAVE}:  require that contextualized nodemask
            contains at least one node.
         c) add a case for MPOL_PREFERRED:  if in coming was not empty
            and resulting mask IS empty, user specified invalid nodes.
            Return EINVAL.
         c) remove the now redundant check for memoryless nodes
      
      3) remove the now redundant masking of policy nodes for interleave
         policy from mpol_new().
      
      4) Now that mpol_check_policy() contextualizes the nodemask, remove
         the in-line nodes_and() from sys_mbind().  I believe that this
         restores mbind() to the behavior before the memoryless-nodes
         patch series.  E.g., we'll no longer treat an invalid nodemask
         with MPOL_PREFERRED as local allocation.
      
      [ Patch history:
      
        v1 -> v2:
         - Communicate whether or not incoming node mask was empty to
           mpol_check_policy() for better error checking.
         - As suggested by David Rientjes, remove the now unused
           cpuset_nodes_subset_current_mems_allowed() from cpuset.h
      
        v2 -> v3:
         - As suggested by Kosaki Motohito, fold the "contextualization"
           of policy nodemask into mpol_check_policy().  Looks a little
           cleaner. ]

      Prevent IDE boot ops on NUMA system · 1f07e988
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      Without this patch a Opteron test system here oopses at boot with
      current git.
      
      Calling to_pci_dev() on a NULL pointer gives a negative value so the
      following NULL pointer check never triggers and then an illegal address
      is referenced.  Check the unadjusted original device pointer for NULL
      instead.

      DM9000: Add platform flag for no attached EEPROM · bb44fb70
      Ben Dooks 提交于
      Allow the platform data to specify to the DM9000 driver
      that there is no posibility of an attached EEPROM on the
      device, so default all reads to 0xff and ignore any
      write operations.
