This is a rather minimally invasive patch to solve the problem of the user stack growing into a memory mapped area below it. Whenever we fill the first page of the stack segment, expand the segment down by one page. Now, admittedly some odd application might _want_ the stack to grow down into the preceding memory mapping, and so we may at some point need to make this a process tunable (some people might also want to have more than a single page of guarding), but let's try the minimal approach first. Tested with trivial application that maps a single page just below the stack, and then starts recursing. Without this, we will get a SIGSEGV _after_ the stack has smashed the mapping. With this patch, we'll get a nice SIGBUS just as the stack touches the page just above the mapping.

This reverts commit 3bcf3860 (and the accompanying commit c1e5c954 "vfs/fsnotify: fsnotify_close can delay the final work in fput" that was a horribly ugly hack to make it work at all). The 'struct file' approach not only causes that disgusting hack, it somehow breaks pulseaudio, probably due to some other subtlety with f_count handling. Fix up various conflicts due to later fsnotify work. Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The tv_nsec is a long and when added to the shifted interval it can wrap and become negative which later causes looping problems in the getrawmonotonic(). The edge case occurs when the system has slept for a short period of time of ~2 seconds. A trace printk of the values in this patch illustrate the problem: ftrace time stamp: log 43.716079: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 3d0913 tv_nsec d687faa 43.718513: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 3d0913 tv_nsec da588bd 43.722161: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 3d0913 tv_nsec de291d0 46.349925: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 7a122600 tv_nsec e1f9ae3b 46.349930: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 1e848980 tv_nsec 8831c0e3 The kernel starts looping at 46.349925 in the getrawmonotonic() due to the negative value from adding the raw value to tv_nsec. A simple solution is to accumulate into a u64, and then normalize it to a timespec_t.

It is advantageous to have performance tests in a kernel module like mmc_test for the following reasons: - transfer times can be measured very accurately - arbitrarily large transfers are possible - the effect of contiguous vs scattered pages can be determined The new tests are: 23. Best-case read performance 24. Best-case write performance 25. Best-case read performance into scattered pages 26. Best-case write performance from scattered pages 27.

SD/MMC cards tend to support an erase operation. In addition, eMMC v4.4 cards can support secure erase, trim and secure trim operations that are all variants of the basic erase command. SD/MMC device attributes "erase_size" and "preferred_erase_size" have been added. "erase_size" is the minimum size, in bytes, of an erase operation. For MMC, "erase_size" is the erase group size reported by the card. Note that "erase_size" does not apply to trim or secure trim operations where the minimum size is always one 512 byte sector. For SD, "erase_size" is 512 if the card is block-addressed, 0 otherwise. SD/MMC cards can erase an arbitrarily large area up to and including the whole card. When erasing a large area it may be desirable to do it in smaller chunks for three reasons: 1. A single erase command will make all other I/O on the card wait. This is not a problem if the whole card is being erased, but erasing one partition will make I/O for another partition on the same card wait for the duration of the erase - which could be a several minutes. 2. To be able to inform the user of erase progress. 3. The erase timeout becomes too large to be very useful. Because the erase timeout contains a margin which is multiplied by the size of the erase area, the value can end up being several minutes for large areas. "erase_size" is not the most efficient unit to erase (especially for SD where it is just one sector), hence "preferred_erase_size" provides a good chunk size for erasing large areas. For MMC, "preferred_erase_size" is the high-capacity erase size if a card specifies one, otherwise it is based on the capacity of the card. For SD, "preferred_erase_size" is the allocation unit size specified by the card. "preferred_erase_size" is in bytes.

Commit 83ba7b07 ("writeback: simplify the write back thread queue") broke writeback_in_progress() as in that commit we started to remove work items from the list at the moment we start working on them and not at the moment they are finished. Thus if the flusher thread was doing some work but there was no other work queued, writeback_in_progress() returned false. This could in particular cause unnecessary queueing of background writeback from balance_dirty_pages() or writeout work from writeback_sb_if_idle(). This patch fixes the problem by introducing a bit in the bdi state which indicates that the flusher thread is processing some work and uses this bit for writeback_in_progress() test. NOTE: Both callsites of writeback_in_progress() (namely, writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle() and balance_dirty_pages()) would actually need a different information than what writeback_in_progress() provides. They would need to know whether *the kind of writeback they are going to submit* is already queued. But this information isn't that simple to provide so let's fix writeback_in_progress() for the time being.

Unify the logic for kupdate and non-kupdate cases. There won't be starvation because the inodes requeued into b_more_io will later be spliced _after_ the remaining inodes in b_io, hence won't stand in the way of other inodes in the next run. It avoids unnecessary redirty_tail() calls, hence the update of i_dirtied_when. The timestamp update is undesirable because it could later delay the inode's periodic writeback, or may exclude the inode from the data integrity sync operation (which checks timestamp to avoid extra work and livelock). === How the redirty_tail() comes about: It was a long story.. This redirty_tail() was introduced with wbc.more_io. The initial patch for more_io actually does not have the redirty_tail(), and when it's merged, several 100% iowait bug reports arised: reiserfs: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/23/93 jfs: commit 29a424f2 JFS: clear PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY for no-write pages ext2: http://www.spinics.net/linux/lists/linux-ext4/msg04762.html They are all old bugs hidden in various filesystems that become "visible" with the more_io patch. At the time, the ext2 bug is thought to be "trivial", so not fixed. Instead the following updated more_io patch with redirty_tail() is merged: http://www.spinics.net/linux/lists/linux-ext4/msg04507.html This will in general prevent 100% on ext2 and possibly other unknown FS bugs.
