      lib/idr.c: use kmem_cache_zalloc() for the idr_layer cache · 5b019e99
      由 Andrew Morton 提交于 
      David points out that the idr_remove_all() function returns unused slabs
to the kmem cache, but needs to zero them first or else they will be
uninitialized upon next use.  This causes crashes which have been observed
in the firewire subsystem.

He fixed this by zeroing the object before freeing it in idr_remove_all().

But we agree that simply removing the constructor and zeroing the object
at allocation time is simpler than relying upon slab constructor machinery
and might even be faster.

This problem was introduced by "idr: make idr_remove rcu-safe" (commit
cf481c20), which was first released in
2.6.27.

There are no known codesites which trigger this bug in 2.6.27 or 2.6.28.
The post-2.6.28 firewire changes are the only known triggerer.

There might of course be not-yet-discovered triggerers in 2.6.27 and
2.6.28, and there might be out-of-tree triggerers which are added to those
kernel versions.  I'll let the -stable guys decide whether they want to
backport this fix.

      NOMMU: Make VMAs per MM as for MMU-mode linux · 8feae131
      由 David Howells 提交于 
      Make VMAs per mm_struct as for MMU-mode linux.  This solves two problems:

 (1) In SYSV SHM where nattch for a segment does not reflect the number of
     shmat's (and forks) done.

 (2) In mmap() where the VMA's vm_mm is set to point to the parent mm by an
     exec'ing process when VM_EXECUTABLE is specified, regardless of the fact
     that a VMA might be shared and already have its vm_mm assigned to another
     process or a dead process.

A new struct (vm_region) is introduced to track a mapped region and to remember
the circumstances under which it may be shared and the vm_list_struct structure
is discarded as it's no longer required.

This patch makes the following additional changes:

 (1) Regions are now allocated with alloc_pages() rather than kmalloc() and
     with no recourse to __GFP_COMP, so the pages are not composite.  Instead,
     each page has a reference on it held by the region.  Anything else that is
     interested in such a page will have to get a reference on it to retain it.
     When the pages are released due to unmapping, each page is passed to
     put_page() and will be freed when the page usage count reaches zero.

 (2) Excess pages are trimmed after an allocation as the allocation must be
     made as a power-of-2 quantity of pages.

 (3) VMAs are added to the parent MM's R/B tree and mmap lists.  As an MM may
     end up with overlapping VMAs within the tree, the VMA struct address is
     appended to the sort key.

 (4) Non-anonymous VMAs are now added to the backing inode's prio list.

 (5) Holes may be punched in anonymous VMAs with munmap(), releasing parts of
     the backing region.  The VMA and region structs will be split if
     necessary.

 (6) sys_shmdt() only releases one attachment to a SYSV IPC shared memory
     segment instead of all the attachments at that addresss.  Multiple
     shmat()'s return the same address under NOMMU-mode instead of different
     virtual addresses as under MMU-mode.

 (7) Core dumping for ELF-FDPIC requires fewer exceptions for NOMMU-mode.

 (8) /proc/maps is now the global list of mapped regions, and may list bits
     that aren't actually mapped anywhere.

 (9) /proc/meminfo gains a line (tagged "MmapCopy") that indicates the amount
     of RAM currently allocated by mmap to hold mappable regions that can't be
     mapped directly.  These are copies of the backing device or file if not
     anonymous.

These changes make NOMMU mode more similar to MMU mode.  The downside is that
NOMMU mode requires some extra memory to track things over NOMMU without this
patch (VMAs are no longer shared, and there are now region structs).

      swiotlb: add missing __init annotations · 79ff56eb
      由 Roland Dreier 提交于 
      Impact: cleanup, reduce kernel size a bit

The current kernel build warns:

    WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x11458): Section mismatch in reference from the function swiotlb_alloc_boot() to the function .init.text:__alloc_bootmem_low()
    The function swiotlb_alloc_boot() references
    the function __init __alloc_bootmem_low().
    This is often because swiotlb_alloc_boot lacks a __init
    annotation or the annotation of __alloc_bootmem_low is wrong.

    WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x1011f2): Section mismatch in reference from the function swiotlb_late_init_with_default_size() to the function .init.text:__alloc_bootmem_low()
    The function swiotlb_late_init_with_default_size() references
    the function __init __alloc_bootmem_low().
    This is often because swiotlb_late_init_with_default_size lacks a __init
    annotation or the annotation of __alloc_bootmem_low is wrong.

and indeed the functions calling __alloc_bootmem_low() can be marked
__init as well.
