strstrip() does not remove the last blank from strings which only consist
of blanks.

Example:
char string[] = "  ";
strstrip(string);

results in " ", but should produce an empty string!

http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/gnupatch@449b144ecSF1rYskg3q-SeR2vf88zg

# ChangeSet
#   2006/06/22 15:05:57-07:00 neilb@suse.de
#   [PATCH] Fix dcache race during umount

#   If prune_dcache finds a dentry that it cannot free, it leaves it where it
#   is (at the tail of the list) and exits, on the assumption that some other
#   thread will be removing that dentry soon.

However as far as I see this comment is not correct: when we cannot take
s_umount rw_semaphore (for example because it was taken in do_remount) this
dentry is already extracted from dentry_unused list and we do not add it
into the list again.  Therefore dentry will not be found by prune_dcache()
and shrink_dcache_sb() and will leave in memory very long time until the
partition will be unmounted.

The patch adds this dentry into tail of the dentry_unused list.

hugetlb_vmtruncate_list was misconverted to prio_tree: its prio_tree is in
units of PAGE_SIZE (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE) like any other, not HPAGE_SIZE (whereas
its radix_tree is kept in units of HPAGE_SIZE, otherwise slots would be
absurdly sparse).

At first I thought the error benign, just calling __unmap_hugepage_range on
more vmas than necessary; but on 32-bit machines, when the prio_tree is
searched correctly, it happens to ensure the v_offset calculation won't
overflow.  As it stood, when truncating at or beyond 4GB, it was liable to
discard pages COWed from lower offsets; or even to clear pmd entries of
preceding vmas, triggering exit_mmap's BUG_ON(nr_ptes).

On 32-bit machines, mount -t hugetlbfs -o size=4G gave a 0GB filesystem,
size=5G gave a 1GB filesystem etc: there's no point in masking size with
HPAGE_MASK just before shifting its lower bits away, and since HPAGE_MASK is a
UL, that removed all the higher bits of the unsigned long long size.

Add __GFP_NOWARN flag to calling of __alloc_pages() in
__kmalloc_section_memmap().  It can reduce noisy failure message.

In ia64, section size is 1 GB, this means that order 8 pages are necessary
for each section's memmap.  It is often very hard requirement under heavy
memory pressure as you know.  So, __alloc_pages() gives up allocation and
shows many noisy stack traces which means no page for each sections.
(Current my environment shows 32 times of stack trace....)

But, __kmalloc_section_memmap() calls vmalloc() after failure of it, and it
can succeed allocation of memmap.  So, its stack trace warning becomes just
noisy.  I suppose it shouldn't be shown.

When running several fsx's and other filesystem stress tests, we found
cases where an unmapped buffer was still being sent to submit_bh by the
ext3 dirty data journaling code.

I saw this happen in two ways, both related to another thread doing a
truncate which would unmap the buffer in question.

Either we would get into journal_dirty_data with a bh which was already
unmapped (although journal_dirty_data_fn had checked for this earlier, the
state was not locked at that point), or it would get unmapped in the middle
of journal_dirty_data when we dropped locks to call sync_dirty_buffer.

By re-checking for mapped state after we've acquired the bh state lock, we
should avoid these races.  If we find a buffer which is no longer mapped,
we essentially ignore it, because journal_unmap_buffer has already decided
that this buffer can go away.

I've also added tracepoints in these two cases, and made a couple other
tracepoint changes that I found useful in debugging this.

If try_to_free_pages / balance_pgdat are called with a gfp_mask specifying
GFP_IO and/or GFP_FS, they will reclaim the requisite number of pages, and the
reset prev_priority to DEF_PRIORITY (or to some other high (ie: unurgent)
value).

However, another reclaimer without those gfp_mask flags set (say, GFP_NOIO)
may still be struggling to reclaim pages.  The concurrent overwrite of
zone->prev_priority will cause this GFP_NOIO thread to unexpectedly cease
deactivating mapped pages, thus causing reclaim difficulties.

Fix this is to key the distress calculation not off zone->prev_priority, but
also take into account the local caller's priority by using
min(zone->prev_priority, sc->priority)

The temp_priority field in zone is racy, as we can walk through a reclaim
path, and just before we copy it into prev_priority, it can be overwritten
(say with DEF_PRIORITY) by another reclaimer.

The same bug is contained in both try_to_free_pages and balance_pgdat, but
it is fixed slightly differently.  In balance_pgdat, we keep a separate
priority record per zone in a local array.  In try_to_free_pages there is
no need to do this, as the priority level is the same for all zones that we
reclaim from.

Impact of this bug is that temp_priority is copied into prev_priority, and
setting this artificially high causes reclaimers to set distress
artificially low.  They then fail to reclaim mapped pages, when they are,
in fact, under severe memory pressure (their priority may be as low as 0).
This causes the OOM killer to fire incorrectly.

From: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org>

__zone_reclaim() isn't modifying zone->prev_priority.  But zone->prev_priority
is used in the decision whether or not to bring mapped pages onto the inactive
list.  Hence there's a risk here that __zone_reclaim() will fail because
zone->prev_priority ir large (ie: low urgency) and lots of mapped pages end up
stuck on the active list.

Fix that up by decreasing (ie making more urgent) zone->prev_priority as
__zone_reclaim() scans the zone's pages.

This bug perhaps explains why ZONE_RECLAIM_PRIORITY was created.  It should be
possible to remove that now, and to just start out at DEF_PRIORITY?

The multithreaded-probing code has a problem: after one initcall level (eg,
core_initcall) has been processed, we will then start processing the next
level (postcore_initcall) while the kernel threads which are handling
core_initcall are still executing.  This breaks the guarantees which the
layered initcalls previously gave us.

IOW, we want to be multithreaded _within_ an initcall level, but not between
different levels.

Fix that up by causing the probing code to wait for all outstanding probes at
one level to complete before we start processing the next level.

2.Do suspend/resume circle. After that, BIOS puts the device to D3.
3.Reload the device driver. The calling pci_set_power_state in the
