      mm: fix up numa read-only thread grouping logic · 53da3bc2
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Dave Chinner reported that commit 4d942466 ("mm: convert
      p[te|md]_mknonnuma and remaining page table manipulations") slowed down
      his xfsrepair test enormously.  In particular, it was using more system
      time due to extra TLB flushing.
      
      The ultimate reason turns out to be how the change to use the regular
      page table accessor functions broke the NUMA grouping logic.  The old
      special mknuma/mknonnuma code accessed the page table present bit and
      the magic NUMA bit directly, while the new code just changes the page
      protections using PROT_NONE and the regular vma protections.
      
      That sounds equivalent, and from a fault standpoint it really is, but a
      subtle side effect is that the *other* protection bits of the page table
      entries also change.  And the code to decide how to group the NUMA
      entries together used the writable bit to decide whether a particular
      page was likely to be shared read-only or not.
      
      And with the change to make the NUMA handling use the regular permission
      setting functions, that writable bit was basically always cleared for
      private mappings due to COW.  So even if the page actually ends up being
      written to in the end, the NUMA balancing would act as if it was always
      shared RO.
      
      This code is a heuristic anyway, so the fix - at least for now - is to
      instead check whether the page is dirty rather than writable.  The bit
      doesn't change with protection changes.
      
      NOTE! This also adds a FIXME comment to revisit this issue,
      
      Not only should we probably re-visit the whole "is this a shared
      read-only page" heuristic (we might want to take the vma permissions
      into account and base this more on those than the per-page ones, and
      also look at whether the particular access that triggers it is a write
      or not), but the whole COW issue shows that we should think about the
      NUMA fault handling some more.
      
      For example, maybe we should do the early-COW thing that a regular fault
      does.  Or maybe we should accept that while using the same bits as
      PROTNONE was a good thing (and got rid of the specual NUMA bit), we
      might still want to just preseve the other protection bits across NUMA
      faulting.
      
      Those are bigger questions, left for later.  This just fixes up the
      heuristic so that it at least approximates working again.  More analysis
      and work needed.

      Revert "i2c: core: Dispose OF IRQ mapping at client removal time" · a4944572
      Jakub Kicinski 提交于
      This reverts commit e4df3a0b
      ("i2c: core: Dispose OF IRQ mapping at client removal time")
      
      Calling irq_dispose_mapping() will destroy the mapping and disassociate
      the IRQ from the IRQ chip to which it belongs. Keeping it is OK, because
      existent mappings are reused properly.
      
      Also, this commit breaks drivers using devm* for IRQ management on
      OF-based systems because devm* cleanup happens in device code, after
      bus's remove() method returns.

      Pull seq-buf/ftrace fixes from Steven Rostedt:
       "This includes fixes for seq_buf_bprintf() truncation issue.  It also
        contains fixes to ftrace when /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled and
        function tracing are started.  Doing the following causes some issues:
      
          # echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled
          # echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
          # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled
          # echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
          # echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
      
        As well as with function tracing too.  Pratyush Anand first reported
        this issue to me and supplied a patch.  When I tested this on my x86
        test box, it caused thousands of backtraces and warnings to appear in
        dmesg, which also caused a denial of service (a warning for every
        function that was listed).  I applied Pratyush's patch but it did not
        fix the issue for me.  I looked into it and found a slight problem
        with trampoline accounting.  I fixed it and sent Pratyush a patch, but
        he said that it did not fix the issue for him.
      
        I later learned tha Pratyush was using an ARM64 server, and when I
        tested on my ARM board, I was able to reproduce the same issue as
        Pratyush.  After applying his patch, it fixed the problem.  The above
        test uncovered two different bugs, one in x86 and one in ARM and
        ARM64.  As this looked like it would affect PowerPC, I tested it on my
        PPC64 box.  It too broke, but neither the patch that fixed ARM or x86
        fixed this box (the changes were all in generic code!).  The above
        test, uncovered two more bugs that affected PowerPC.  Again, the
        changes were only done to generic code.  It's the way the arch code
        expected things to be done that was different between the archs.  Some
        where more sensitive than others.
      
        The rest of this series fixes the PPC bugs as well"
