      [S390] merge page_test_dirty and page_clear_dirty · 2d42552d
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      The page_clear_dirty primitive always sets the default storage key
      which resets the access control bits and the fetch protection bit.
      That will surprise a KVM guest that sets non-zero access control
      bits or the fetch protection bit. Merge page_test_dirty and
      page_clear_dirty back to a single function and only clear the
      dirty bit from the storage key.
      
      In addition move the function page_test_and_clear_dirty and
      page_test_and_clear_young to page.h where they belong. This
      requires to change the parameter from a struct page * to a page
      frame number.

      tmpfs: fix race between swapoff and writepage · 05bf86b4
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Shame on me!  Commit b1dea800 "tmpfs: fix race between umount and
      writepage" fixed the advertized race, but introduced another: as even
      its comment makes clear, we cannot safely rely on a peek at list_empty()
      while holding no lock - until info->swapped is set, shmem_unuse_inode()
      may delete any formerly-swapped inode from the shmem_swaplist, which
      in this case would leave a swap area impossible to swapoff.
      
      Although I don't relish taking the mutex every time, I don't care much
      for the alternatives either; and at least the peek at list_empty() in
      shmem_evict_inode() (a hotter path since most inodes would never have
      been swapped) remains safe, because we already truncated the whole file.

      tmpfs: fix spurious ENOSPC when racing with unswap · 59a16ead
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Testing the shmem_swaplist replacements for igrab() revealed another bug:
      writes to /dev/loop0 on a tmpfs file which fills its filesystem were
      sometimes failing with "Buffer I/O error"s.
      
      These came from ENOSPC failures of shmem_getpage(), when racing with
      swapoff: the same could happen when racing with another shmem_getpage(),
      pulling the page in from swap in between our find_lock_page() and our
      taking the info->lock (though not in the single-threaded loop case).
      
      This is unacceptable, and surprising that I've not noticed it before:
      it dates back many years, but (presumably) was made a lot easier to
      reproduce in 2.6.36, which sited a page preallocation in the race window.
      
      Fix it by rechecking the page cache before settling on an ENOSPC error.
