      Rework some logic in find_exported_dentry so that we only have a single
      S_ISDIR check and logic that makes clear to the reader what we're really doing

      knfsd: exportfs: remove CALL macro · 10f11c34
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Currently exportfs uses a way to call methods very differently from the rest
      of the kernel.  This patch changes it to the standard conventions for method
      calls.

      knfsd: exportfs: add procedural interface for NFSD · d37065cd
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Currently NFSD calls directly into filesystems through the export_operations
      structure.  I plan to change this interface in various ways in later patches,
      and want to avoid the export of the default operations to NFSD, so this patch
      adds two simple exportfs_encode_fh/exportfs_decode_fh helpers for NFSD to call
      instead of poking into exportfs guts.

      knfsd: exportfs: remove iget abuse · 5ca29607
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      When the exportfs interface was added the expectation was that filesystems
      provide an operation to convert from a file handle to an inode/dentry, but it
      kept a backwards compat option that still calls into iget.
      
      Calling into iget from non-filesystem code is very bad, because it gives too
      little information to filesystem, and simply crashes if the filesystem doesn't
      implement the ->read_inode routine.
      
      Fortunately there are only two filesystems left using this fallback: efs and
      jfs.  This patch moves a copy of export_iget to each of those to implement the
      get_dentry method.
      
      While this is a temporary increase of lines of code in the kernel it allows
      for a much cleaner interface and important code restructuring in later
      patches.

      currently the export_operation structure and helpers related to it are in

      export bits, so split them off into a separate header.

      kallsyms: make KSYM_NAME_LEN include space for trailing '\0' · 9281acea
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      KSYM_NAME_LEN is peculiar in that it does not include the space for the
      trailing '\0', forcing all users to use KSYM_NAME_LEN + 1 when allocating
      buffer.  This is nonsense and error-prone.  Moreover, when the caller
      forgets that it's very likely to subtly bite back by corrupting the stack
      because the last position of the buffer is always cleared to zero.
      
      This patch increments KSYM_NAME_LEN by one and updates code accordingly.
      
      * off-by-one bug in asm-powerpc/kprobes.h::kprobe_lookup_name() macro
        is fixed.
      
      * Where MODULE_NAME_LEN and KSYM_NAME_LEN were used together,
        MODULE_NAME_LEN was treated as if it didn't include space for the
        trailing '\0'.  Fix it.

      Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default · 83144186
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
      threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves.  This
      approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
      set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
      care for the freezing of tasks at all.
      
      It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
      be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
      freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
      done in this patch.
      
      The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie.  to
      have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
      function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
      unset PF_NOFREEZE.  It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
      threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
      change of behaviour to appear.  Additionally, it updates documentation to
      describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

      fs: introduce some page/buffer invariants · 787d2214
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      It is a bug to set a page dirty if it is not uptodate unless it has
      buffers.  If the page has buffers, then the page may be dirty (some buffers
      dirty) but not uptodate (some buffers not uptodate).  The exception to this
      rule is if the set_page_dirty caller is racing with truncate or invalidate.
      
      A buffer can not be set dirty if it is not uptodate.
      
      If either of these situations occurs, it indicates there could be some data
      loss problem.  Some of these warnings could be a harmless one where the
      page or buffer is set uptodate immediately after it is dirtied, however we
      should fix those up, and enforce this ordering.
      
      Bring the order of operations for truncate into line with those of
      invalidate.  This will prevent a page from being able to go !uptodate while
      we're holding the tree_lock, which is probably a good thing anyway.

      mm: clean up and kernelify shrinker registration · 8e1f936b
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      I can never remember what the function to register to receive VM pressure
      is called.  I have to trace down from __alloc_pages() to find it.
      
      It's called "set_shrinker()", and it needs Your Help.
      
      1) Don't hide struct shrinker.  It contains no magic.
      2) Don't allocate "struct shrinker".  It's not helpful.
      3) Call them "register_shrinker" and "unregister_shrinker".
      4) Call the function "shrink" not "shrinker".
      5) Reduce the 17 lines of waffly comments to 13, but document it properly.

      Lumpy Reclaim V4 · 5ad333eb
      Andy Whitcroft 提交于
      When we are out of memory of a suitable size we enter reclaim.  The current
      reclaim algorithm targets pages in LRU order, which is great for fairness at
      order-0 but highly unsuitable if you desire pages at higher orders.  To get
      pages of higher order we must shoot down a very high proportion of memory;
      >95% in a lot of cases.
      
      This patch set adds a lumpy reclaim algorithm to the allocator.  It targets
      groups of pages at the specified order anchored at the end of the active and
      inactive lists.  This encourages groups of pages at the requested orders to
      move from active to inactive, and active to free lists.  This behaviour is
      only triggered out of direct reclaim when higher order pages have been
      requested.
      
      This patch set is particularly effective when utilised with an
      anti-fragmentation scheme which groups pages of similar reclaimability
      together.
      
      This patch set is based on Peter Zijlstra's lumpy reclaim V2 patch which forms
      the foundation.  Credit to Mel Gorman for sanitity checking.
      
      Mel said:
      
        The patches have an application with hugepage pool resizing.
      
        When lumpy-reclaim is used used with ZONE_MOVABLE, the hugepages pool can
        be resized with greater reliability.  Testing on a desktop machine with 2GB
        of RAM showed that growing the hugepage pool with ZONE_MOVABLE on it's own
        was very slow as the success rate was quite low.  Without lumpy-reclaim,
        each attempt to grow the pool by 100 pages would yield 1 or 2 hugepages.
        With lumpy-reclaim, getting 40 to 70 hugepages on each attempt was typical.

      Add __GFP_MOVABLE for callers to flag allocations from high memory that may be migrated · 769848c0
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      It is often known at allocation time whether a page may be migrated or not.
      This patch adds a flag called __GFP_MOVABLE and a new mask called
      GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE.  Allocations using the __GFP_MOVABLE can be either migrated
      using the page migration mechanism or reclaimed by syncing with backing
      storage and discarding.
      
      An API function very similar to alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() is added for
      __GFP_MOVABLE allocations called alloc_zeroed_user_highpage_movable().  The
      flags used by alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() are not changed because it would
      change the semantics of an existing API.  After this patch is applied there
      are no in-kernel users of alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() so it probably should
      be marked deprecated if this patch is merged.
      
      Note that this patch includes a minor cleanup to the use of __GFP_ZERO in
      shmem.c to keep all flag modifications to inode->mapping in the
      shmem_dir_alloc() helper function.  This clean-up suggestion is courtesy of
      Hugh Dickens.
      
      Additional credit goes to Christoph Lameter and Linus Torvalds for shaping the
      concept.  Credit to Hugh Dickens for catching issues with shmem swap vector
      and ramfs allocations.
