The dirtying of page and set_page_dirty() can be moved into the page lock. - In shmem_write_end(), the page was dirtied while the page lock was held, but it's being marked dirty just after dropping the page lock. - In shmem_symlink(), both dirtying and marking can be moved into page lock. It's valuable for the hwpoison code to know whether one bad page can be dropped without losing data. It mainly judges by testing the PG_dirty bit after taking the page lock. So it becomes important that the dirtying of page and the marking of dirtiness are both done inside the page lock. Which is a common practice, but sadly not a rule. The noticeable exceptions are - mapped pages - pages with buffer_heads The above pages could go dirty at any time. Fortunately the hwpoison will unmap the page and release the buffer_heads beforehand anyway. Many other types of pages (eg. metadata pages) can also be dirtied at will by their owners, the hwpoison code cannot do meaningful things to them anyway. Only the dirtiness of pagecache pages owned by regular files are interested. v2: AK: Add comment about set_page_dirty rules (suggested by Peter Zijlstra) Acked-by: NHugh Dickins <hugh.dickins@tiscali.co.uk> Reviewed-by: NWANG Cong <xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NWu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

Truncating metadata pages is not safe right now before we haven't audited all file systems. To enable truncation only for data address space define a new address_space callback error_remove_page. This is used for memory_failure.c memory error handling. This can be then set to truncate_inode_page() This patch just defines the new operation and adds documentation. Callers and users come in followon patches. Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

If memory corruption hits the free buddy pages, we can safely ignore them. No one will access them until page allocation time, then prep_new_page() will automatically check and isolate PG_hwpoison page for us (for 0-order allocation). This patch expands prep_new_page() to check every component page in a high order page allocation, in order to completely stop PG_hwpoison pages from being recirculated. Note that the common case -- only allocating a single page, doesn't do any more work than before. Allocating > order 0 does a bit more work, but that's relatively uncommon. This simple implementation may drop some innocent neighbor pages, hopefully it is not a big problem because the event should be rare enough. This patch adds some runtime costs to high order page users. [AK: Improved description] v2: Andi Kleen: Port to -mm code Move check into separate function.

try_to_unmap currently has multiple modi (migration, munlock, normal unmap) which are selected by magic flag variables. The logic is not very straight forward, because each of these flag change multiple behaviours (e.g. migration turns off aging, not only sets up migration ptes etc.) Also the different flags interact in magic ways. A later patch in this series adds another mode to try_to_unmap, so this becomes quickly unmanageable. Replace the different flags with a action code (migration, munlock, munmap) and some additional flags as modifiers (ignore mlock, ignore aging). This makes the logic more straight forward and allows easier extension to new behaviours. Change all the caller to declare what they want to do. This patch is supposed to be a nop in behaviour. If anyone can prove it is not that would be a bug. Cc: Lee.Schermerhorn@hp.com Cc: npiggin@suse.de Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

Introduce new function for generic inode syncing (vfs_fsync_range) and use it from fsync() path. Introduce also new helper for syncing after a sync write (generic_write_sync) using the generic function. Use these new helpers for syncing from generic VFS functions. This makes O_SYNC writes to block devices acquire i_mutex for syncing. If we really care about this, we can make block_fsync() drop the i_mutex and reacquire it before it returns.

generic_file_direct_write() and generic_file_buffered_write() called generic_osync_inode() if it was called on O_SYNC file or IS_SYNC inode. But this is superfluous since generic_file_aio_write() does the syncing as well. Also XFS and OCFS2 which call these functions directly handle syncing themselves. So let's have a single place where syncing happens: generic_file_aio_write(). We slightly change the behavior by syncing only the range of file to which the write happened for buffered writes but that should be all that is required.

blk_ioctl_discard duplicates large amounts of code from blkdev_issue_discard, the only difference between the two is that blkdev_issue_discard needs to send a barrier discard request and blk_ioctl_discard a non-barrier one, and blk_ioctl_discard needs to wait on the request. To facilitates this add a flags argument to blkdev_issue_discard to control both aspects of the behaviour. This will be very useful later on for using the waiting funcitonality for other callers.

This gets rid of pdflush for bdi writeout and kupdated style cleaning. pdflush writeout suffers from lack of locality and also requires more threads to handle the same workload, since it has to work in a non-blocking fashion against each queue. This also introduces lumpy behaviour and potential request starvation, since pdflush can be starved for queue access if others are accessing it. A sample ffsb workload that does random writes to files is about 8% faster here on a simple SATA drive during the benchmark phase.

In an ideal world your kmemleak output will be small, when its not (usually during initial bootup) you can use the clear command to ingore previously reported and unreferenced kmemleak objects. We do this by painting all currently reported unreferenced objects grey. We paint them grey instead of black to allow future scans on the same objects as such objects could still potentially reference newly allocated objects in the future. To test a critical section on demand with a clean /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak you can do: echo clear > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak test your kernel or modules echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak Then as usual to get your report with: cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak Signed-off-by: NLuis R.

On low-memory systems, anti-fragmentation gets disabled as fragmentation cannot be avoided on a sufficiently large boundary to be worthwhile. Once disabled, there is a period of time when all the pageblocks are marked MOVABLE and the expectation is that they get marked UNMOVABLE at each call to __rmqueue_fallback(). However, when MAX_ORDER is large the pageblocks do not change ownership because the normal criteria are not met. This has the effect of prematurely breaking up too many large contiguous blocks. This is most serious on NOMMU systems which depend on high-order allocations to boot. This patch causes pageblocks to change ownership on every fallback when anti-fragmentation is disabled. This prevents the large blocks being prematurely broken up. This is a fix to commit 49255c61 [page allocator: move check for disabled anti-fragmentation out of fastpath] and the problem affects 2.6.31-rc8.
