      [libata] change ata_qc_complete() to take error mask as second arg · a7dac447
      Jeff Garzik 提交于
      The second argument to ata_qc_complete() was being used for two
      purposes: communicate the ATA Status register to the completion
      function, and indicate an error.  On legacy PCI IDE hardware, the latter
      is often implicit in the former.  On more modern hardware, the driver
      often completely emulated a Status register value, passing ATA_ERR as an
      indication that something went wrong.
      
      Now that previous code changes have eliminated the need to use drv_stat
      arg to communicate the ATA Status register value, we can convert it to a
      mask of possible error classes.
      
      This will lead to more flexible error handling in the future.

      [PATCH] memory hotplug: sysfs and add/remove functions · 3947be19
      Dave Hansen 提交于
      This adds generic memory add/remove and supporting functions for memory
      hotplug into a new file as well as a memory hotplug kernel config option.
      
      Individual architecture patches will follow.
      
      For now, disable memory hotplug when swsusp is enabled.  There's a lot of
      churn there right now.  We'll fix it up properly once it calms down.

      [PATCH] memory hotplug locking: node_size_lock · 208d54e5
      Dave Hansen 提交于
      pgdat->node_size_lock is basically only neeeded in one place in the normal
      code: show_mem(), which is the arch-specific sysrq-m printing function.
      
      Strictly speaking, the architectures not doing memory hotplug do no need this
      locking in show_mem().  However, they are all included for completeness.  This
      should also make any future consolidation of all of the implementations a
      little more straightforward.
      
      This lock is also held in the sparsemem code during a memory removal, as
      sections are invalidated.  This is the place there pfn_valid() is made false
      for a memory area that's being removed.  The lock is only required when doing
      pfn_valid() operations on memory which the user does not already have a
      reference on the page, such as in show_mem().

      [PATCH] mm: split page table lock · 4c21e2f2
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Christoph Lameter demonstrated very poor scalability on the SGI 512-way, with
      a many-threaded application which concurrently initializes different parts of
      a large anonymous area.
      
      This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to
      guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single
      page_table_lock.  (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page
      table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.)
      
      In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the
      page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in
      the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled.
      
      Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access.  Ideally,
      I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on
      multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs.
      So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig
      language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with
      NR_CPUS.  But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good
      testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps
      change that to 8 later.
      
      There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking
      one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.

      [PATCH] mm: follow_page with inner ptlock · deceb6cd
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Final step in pushing down common core's page_table_lock.  follow_page no
      longer wants caller to hold page_table_lock, uses pte_offset_map_lock itself;
      and so no page_table_lock is taken in get_user_pages itself.
      
      But get_user_pages (and get_futex_key) do then need follow_page to pin the
      page for them: take Daniel's suggestion of bitflags to follow_page.
      
      Need one for WRITE, another for TOUCH (it was the accessed flag before:
      vanished along with check_user_page_readable, but surely get_numa_maps is
      wrong to mark every page it finds as accessed), another for GET.
      
      And another, ANON to dispose of untouched_anonymous_page: it seems silly for
      that to descend a second time, let follow_page observe if there was no page
      table and return ZERO_PAGE if so.  Fix minor bug in that: check VM_LOCKED -
      make_pages_present ought to make readonly anonymous present.

      [PATCH] mm: kill check_user_page_readable · c34d1b4d
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      check_user_page_readable is a problematic variant of follow_page.  It's used
      only by oprofile's i386 and arm backtrace code, at interrupt time, to
      establish whether a userspace stackframe is currently readable.
      
      This is problematic, because we want to push the page_table_lock down inside
      follow_page, and later split it; whereas oprofile is doing a spin_trylock on
      it (in the i386 case, forgotten in the arm case), and needs that to pin
      perhaps two pages spanned by the stackframe (which might be covered by
      different locks when we split).
      
      I think oprofile is going about this in the wrong way: it doesn't need to know
      the area is readable (neither i386 nor arm uses read protection of user
      pages), it doesn't need to pin the memory, it should simply
      __copy_from_user_inatomic, and see if that succeeds or not.  Sorry, but I've
      not got around to devising the sparse __user annotations for this.
      
      Then we can eliminate check_user_page_readable, and return to a single
      follow_page without the __follow_page variants.

      [PATCH] mm: unmap_vmas with inner ptlock · 508034a3
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Remove the page_table_lock from around the calls to unmap_vmas, and replace
      the pte_offset_map in zap_pte_range by pte_offset_map_lock: all callers are
      now safe to descend without page_table_lock.
      
      Don't attempt fancy locking for hugepages, just take page_table_lock in
      unmap_hugepage_range.  Which makes zap_hugepage_range, and the hugetlb test in
      zap_page_range, redundant: unmap_vmas calls unmap_hugepage_range anyway.  Nor
      does unmap_vmas have much use for its mm arg now.
      
      The tlb_start_vma and tlb_end_vma in unmap_page_range are now called without
      page_table_lock: if they're implemented at all, they typically come down to
      flush_cache_range (usually done outside page_table_lock) and flush_tlb_range

      [PATCH] mm: flush_tlb_range outside ptlock · 663b97f7
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      There was one small but very significant change in the previous patch:
      mprotect's flush_tlb_range fell outside the page_table_lock: as it is in 2.4,
      but that doesn't prove it safe in 2.6.
      
      On some architectures flush_tlb_range comes to the same as flush_tlb_mm, which
      has always been called from outside page_table_lock in dup_mmap, and is so
      proved safe.  Others required a deeper audit: I could find no reliance on
      page_table_lock in any; but in ia64 and parisc found some code which looks a
      bit as if it might want preemption disabled.  That won't do any actual harm,
      so pending a decision from the maintainers, disable preemption there.
      
      Remove comments on page_table_lock from flush_tlb_mm, flush_tlb_range and
      flush_tlb_page entries in cachetlb.txt: they were rather misleading (what
      generic code does is different from what usually happens), the rules are now
      changing, and it's not yet clear where we'll end up (will the generic
      tlb_flush_mmu happen always under lock?  never under lock?  or sometimes under
      and sometimes not?).

      which on i386 PAE tests both lower and upper halves.
      
      That's now unsafe, so add a cast into pmd_none to test only the vital lower
      half: we lose a little sensitivity to a corrupt middle directory, but not
      enough to worry about.  It appears that i386 and UML were the only

      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Second step in pushing down the page_table_lock.  Remove the temporary
      bridging hack from __pud_alloc, __pmd_alloc, __pte_alloc: expect callers not
      to hold page_table_lock, whether it's on init_mm or a user mm; take
      page_table_lock internally to check if a racing task already allocated.
      
      Convert their callers from common code.  But avoid coming back to change them
      again later: instead of moving the spin_lock(&mm->page_table_lock) down,
      switch over to new macros pte_alloc_map_lock and pte_unmap_unlock, which
      encapsulate the mapping+locking and unlocking+unmapping together, and in the
      end may use alternatives to the mm page_table_lock itself.
      
      These callers all hold mmap_sem (some exclusively, some not), so at no level
      can a page table be whipped away from beneath them; and pte_alloc uses the
      "atomic" pmd_present to test whether it needs to allocate.  It appears that on

      [PATCH] mm: ptd_alloc inline and out · 1bb3630e
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      It seems odd to me that, whereas pud_alloc and pmd_alloc test inline, only
      calling out-of-line __pud_alloc __pmd_alloc if allocation needed,
      pte_alloc_map and pte_alloc_kernel are entirely out-of-line.  Though it does
      add a little to kernel size, change them to macros testing inline, calling
      __pte_alloc or __pte_alloc_kernel to allocate out-of-line.  Mark none of them
      as fastcalls, leave that to CONFIG_REGPARM or not.
      
      It also seems more natural for the out-of-line functions to leave the offset
      calculation and map to the inline, which has to do it anyway for the common
      case.  At least mremap move wants __pte_alloc without _map.
      
      Macros rather than inline functions, certainly to avoid the header file issues
      which arise from CONFIG_HIGHPTE needing kmap_types.h, but also in case any

      [PATCH] mm: init_mm without ptlock · 872fec16
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      First step in pushing down the page_table_lock.  init_mm.page_table_lock has
      been used throughout the architectures (usually for ioremap): not to serialize
      kernel address space allocation (that's usually vmlist_lock), but because
      pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel expect caller holds it.
      
      Reverse that: don't lock or unlock init_mm.page_table_lock in any of the
      architectures; instead rely on pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel to take
      and drop it when allocating a new one, to check lest a racing task already
      did.  Similarly no page_table_lock in vmalloc's map_vm_area.
      
      Some temporary ugliness in __pud_alloc and __pmd_alloc: since they also handle
      user mms, which are converted only by a later patch, for now they have to lock
      differently according to whether or not it's init_mm.
      
      If sources get muddled, there's a danger that an arch source taking
      init_mm.page_table_lock will be mixed with common source also taking it (or
      neither take it).  So break the rules and make another change, which should
      break the build for such a mismatch: remove the redundant mm arg from
      pte_alloc_kernel (ppc64 scrapped its distinct ioremap_mm in 2.6.13).
      
      Exceptions: arm26 used pte_alloc_kernel on user mm, now pte_alloc_map; ia64
      used pte_alloc_map on init_mm, now pte_alloc_kernel; parisc had bad args to
      pmd_alloc and pte_alloc_kernel in unused USE_HPPA_IOREMAP code; ppc64
      map_io_page forgot to unlock on failure; ppc mmu_mapin_ram and ppc64 im_free
      took page_table_lock for no good reason.

      be found inadequate.  How about this?  Works for Frank.
      
      Replace update_mem_hiwater, a poor combination of two unrelated ops, by macros
      update_hiwater_rss and update_hiwater_vm.  Don't attempt to keep
      mm->hiwater_rss up to date at timer tick, nor every time we raise rss (usually
      by 1): those are hot paths.  Do the opposite, update only when about to lower
      rss (usually by many), or just before final accounting in do_exit.  Handle
      mm->hiwater_vm in the same way, though it's much less of an issue.  Demand
      that whoever collects these hiwater statistics do the work of taking the
      maximum with rss or total_vm.
      
      And there has been no collector of these hiwater statistics in the tree.  The
      new convention needs an example, so match Frank's usage by adding a VmPeak
      line above VmSize to /proc/<pid>/status, and also a VmHWM line above VmRSS
      (High-Water-Mark or High-Water-Memory).
      
      There was a particular anomaly during mremap move, that hiwater_vm might be
      captured too high.  A fleeting such anomaly remains, but it's quickly
      corrected now, whereas before it would stick.
      
      What locking?  None: if the app is racy then these statistics will be racy,
      it's not worth any overhead to make them exact.  But whenever it suits,
      hiwater_vm is updated under exclusive mmap_sem, and hiwater_rss under
      page_table_lock (for now) or with preemption disabled (later on): without
      going to any trouble, minimize the time between reading current values and
      updating, to minimize those occasions when a racing thread bumps a count up
      and back down in between.

      [PATCH] core remove PageReserved · b5810039
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Remove PageReserved() calls from core code by tightening VM_RESERVED
      handling in mm/ to cover PageReserved functionality.
      
      PageReserved special casing is removed from get_page and put_page.
      
      All setting and clearing of PageReserved is retained, and it is now flagged
      in the page_alloc checks to help ensure we don't introduce any refcount
      based freeing of Reserved pages.
      
      MAP_PRIVATE, PROT_WRITE of VM_RESERVED regions is tentatively being
      deprecated.  We never completely handled it correctly anyway, and is be
      reintroduced in future if required (Hugh has a proof of concept).
      
      Once PageReserved() calls are removed from kernel/power/swsusp.c, and all
      arch/ and driver code, the Set and Clear calls, and the PG_reserved bit can
      be trivially removed.
      
      Last real user of PageReserved is swsusp, which uses PageReserved to
      determine whether a struct page points to valid memory or not.  This still
      needs to be addressed (a generic page_is_ram() should work).
      
      A last caveat: the ZERO_PAGE is now refcounted and managed with rmap (and
      thus mapcounted and count towards shared rss).  These writes to the struct
      page could cause excessive cacheline bouncing on big systems.  There are a
      number of ways this could be addressed if it is an issue.

      [PATCH] mm: rss = file_rss + anon_rss · 4294621f
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      I was lazy when we added anon_rss, and chose to change as few places as
      possible.  So currently each anonymous page has to be counted twice, in rss
      and in anon_rss.  Which won't be so good if those are atomic counts in some
      configurations.
      
      Change that around: keep file_rss and anon_rss separately, and add them
      together (with get_mm_rss macro) when the total is needed - reading two
      atomics is much cheaper than updating two atomics.  And update anon_rss
      upfront, typically in memory.c, not tucked away in page_add_anon_rmap.

      [PATCH] mm: tlb_finish_mmu forget rss · fc2acab3
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      zap_pte_range has been counting the pages it frees in tlb->freed, then
      tlb_finish_mmu has used that to update the mm's rss.  That got stranger when I
      added anon_rss, yet updated it by a different route; and stranger when rss and
      anon_rss became mm_counters with special access macros.  And it would no
      longer be viable if we're relying on page_table_lock to stabilize the
      mm_counter, but calling tlb_finish_mmu outside that lock.
      
      Remove the mmu_gather's freed field, let tlb_finish_mmu stick to its own
      business, just decrement the rss mm_counter in zap_pte_range (yes, there was
      some point to batching the update, and a subsequent patch restores that).  And
      forget the anal paranoia of first reading the counter to avoid going negative
      - if rss does go negative, just fix that bug.
      
      Remove the mmu_gather's flushes and avoided_flushes from arm and arm26: no use
      was being made of them.  But arm26 alone was actually using the freed, in the
      way some others use need_flush: give it a need_flush.  arm26 seems to prefer
      spaces to tabs here: respect that.

      [PATCH] mm: tlb_is_full_mm was obscure · 4d6ddfa9
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      tlb_is_full_mm?  What does that mean?  The TLB is full?  No, it means that the
      mm's last user has gone and the whole mm is being torn down.  And it's an
      inline function because sparc64 uses a different (slightly better)
      "tlb_frozen" name for the flag others call "fullmm".
      
      And now the ptep_get_and_clear_full macro used in zap_pte_range refers
      directly to tlb->fullmm, which would be wrong for sparc64.  Rather than
      correct that, I'd prefer to scrap tlb_is_full_mm altogether, and change
      sparc64 to just use the same poor name as everyone else - is that okay?

      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      tlb_gather_mmu dates from before kernel preemption was allowed, and uses
      smp_processor_id or __get_cpu_var to find its per-cpu mmu_gather.  That works
      because it's currently only called after getting page_table_lock, which is not
      dropped until after the matching tlb_finish_mmu.  But don't rely on that, it
      will soon change: now disable preemption internally by proper get_cpu_var in
      tlb_gather_mmu, put_cpu_var in tlb_finish_mmu.

      [PATCH] mm: page fault handlers tidyup · 65500d23
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Impose a little more consistency on the page fault handlers do_wp_page,
      do_swap_page, do_anonymous_page, do_no_page, do_file_page: why not pass their
      arguments in the same order, called the same names?
      
      break_cow is all very well, but what it did was inlined elsewhere: easier to
      compare if it's brought back into do_wp_page.
      
      do_file_page's fallback to do_no_page dates from a time when we were testing
      pte_file by using it wherever possible: currently it's peculiar to nonlinear
      vmas, so just check that.  BUG_ON if not?  Better not, it's probably page
      table corruption, so just show the pte: hmm, there's a pte_ERROR macro, let's
      use that for do_wp_page's invalid pfn too.
      
      Hah!  Someone in the ppc64 world noticed pte_ERROR was unused so removed it:
      restored (and say "pud" not "pmd" in its pud_ERROR).

      [PATCH] mm: unlink_file_vma, remove_vma · a8fb5618
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Divide remove_vm_struct into two parts: first anon_vma_unlink plus
      unlink_file_vma, to unlink the vma from the list and tree by which rmap or
      vmtruncate might find it; then remove_vma to close, fput and free.
      
      The intention here is to do the anon_vma_unlink and unlink_file_vma earlier,
      in free_pgtables before freeing any page tables: so we can be sure that any
      page tables traversed by rmap and vmtruncate are stable (and other, ordinary
      cases are stabilized by holding mmap_sem).
      
      This will be crucial to traversing pgd,pud,pmd without page_table_lock.  But
      testing the split-out patch showed that lifting the page_table_lock is
      symbiotically necessary to make this change - the lock ordering is wrong to
      move those unlinks into free_pgtables while it's under ptlock.
