should_continue_reclaim() for reclaim/compaction allows scanning to
continue even if pages are not being reclaimed until the full list is
scanned.  In terms of allocation success, this makes sense but potentially
it introduces unwanted latency for high-order allocations such as
transparent hugepages and network jumbo frames that would prefer to fail
the allocation attempt and fallback to order-0 pages.  Worse, there is a
potential that the full LRU scan will clear all the young bits, distort
page aging information and potentially push pages into swap that would
have otherwise remained resident.

This patch will stop reclaim/compaction if no pages were reclaimed in the
last SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages that were considered.  For allocations such as
hugetlbfs that use __GFP_REPEAT and have fewer fallback options, the full
LRU list may still be scanned.

Order-0 allocation should not be affected because RECLAIM_MODE_COMPACTION
is not set so the following avoids the gfp_mask being examined:

        if (!(sc->reclaim_mode & RECLAIM_MODE_COMPACTION))
                return false;

A tool was developed based on ftrace that tracked the latency of
high-order allocations while transparent hugepage support was enabled and
three benchmarks were run.  The "fix-infinite" figures are 2.6.38-rc4 with
Johannes's patch "vmscan: fix zone shrinking exit when scan work is done"
applied.

Mean time for order-1 allocations is reduced.  order-2 looks increased but
with so few allocations, it's not particularly significant.  THP mean
allocation latency is also reduced.  That said, allocation time varies so
significantly that the reductions are within noise.

Max allocation time is reduced by a significant amount for low-order
allocations but reduced for THP allocations which presumably are now
breaking before reclaim has done enough work.

Again, mean time for order-1 allocations is reduced while order-2
allocations are too few to draw conclusions from.  The mean time for THP
allocations is also slightly reduced albeit the reductions are within
varianes.

Once again, our maximum allocation time is significantly reduced for
low-order allocations and slightly increased for THP allocations.

This benchmark creates one thread per CPU which references an amount of
anonymous memory 1.5 times the size of physical RAM.  This pounds swap
quite heavily and is intended to exercise THP a bit.

Mean allocation time for order-1 is reduced as before.  It's also reduced
for THP allocations but the variations here are pretty massive due to
swap.  As before, maximum allocation times are significantly reduced.

Overall, the patch reduces the mean and maximum allocation latencies for
the smaller high-order allocations.  This was with Slab configured so it
would be expected to be more significant with Slub which uses these size
allocations more aggressively.

The mean allocation times for THP allocations are also slightly reduced.
The maximum latency was slightly increased as predicted by the comments
due to reclaim/compaction breaking early.  However, workloads care more
about the latency of lower-order allocations than THP so it's an
acceptable trade-off.

The regulator framework is used for power management.  The regulators are
only named in the driver code, the actual control stuff is in the board
file for each architecture or use case.

The PN544 chip has three regulators that can be controlled or not -
depending on the architecture where the chip is being used.  So some of
the regulators may not be controllable.  In our current case the third
regulator, which was missing from the code, went unnoticed because we
didn't need to control it.  To be as general as possible - in this respect
- the driver needs to list all regulators.  Then the board file can be
used to actually set the usage.

In several places, an epoll fd can call another file's ->f_op->poll()
method with ep->mtx held.  This is in general unsafe, because that other
file could itself be an epoll fd that contains the original epoll fd.

The code defends against this possibility in its own ->poll() method using
ep_call_nested, but there are several other unsafe calls to ->poll
elsewhere that can be made to deadlock.  For example, the following simple
program causes the call in ep_insert recursively call the original fd's
->poll, leading to deadlock:

 #include <unistd.h>
 #include <sys/epoll.h>

 int main(void) {
     int e1, e2, p[2];
     struct epoll_event evt = {
         .events = EPOLLIN
     };

     e1 = epoll_create(1);
     e2 = epoll_create(2);
     pipe(p);

     epoll_ctl(e2, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, e1, &evt);
     epoll_ctl(e1, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, p[0], &evt);
     write(p[1], p, sizeof p);
     epoll_ctl(e1, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, e2, &evt);

     return 0;
 }

On insertion, check whether the inserted file is itself a struct epoll,
and if so, do a recursive walk to detect whether inserting this file would
create a loop of epoll structures, which could lead to deadlock.

The new implementation of bd_link_disk_holder() added by 49731baa
(block: restore multiple bd_link_disk_holder() support) didn't get an
extra reference for the holder_dir kobject of the slave bdev; however,
bdev kills holder_dir on removal, not release, so if the slave bdev is
removed while there are holder links, the holder_dir will be destroyed
while there still are holder links, which leads to oops later when
bd_unlink_disk_order() tries to remove those links.

Grab a reference to bdev before calling blkdev_get(), which expects
the refcount to be already incremented and either returns success or
decrements the refcount and returns an error.

The bug was introduced by e525fd89 (block: make blkdev_get/put()
handle exclusive access), which didn't take into account this behavior
of blkdev_get().

Adam Kovari and others reported that disconnecting an USB drive with
an ntfs-3g filesystem would cause "kernel BUG at fs/inode.c:1421!" to
be triggered.

The BUG could be traced back to ioctl(BLKBSZSET), which would
erroneously decrement the refcount on the bdev.  This is because
blkdev_get() expects the refcount to be already incremented and either
returns success or decrements the refcount and returns an error.

Need to adjust the clockevent device rating for the structure
that will be registered with clockevent system instead of the
temporary structure.

Without this fix, APB timer rating will be higher than LAPIC
timer such that it can not be released later to be used as the
broadcast timer.

and
    f3b99be1

When I wrote the first of these I had a wrong idea about the
lifetime of 'struct block_device'.  It can disappear at any time that
the block device is not open if it falls out of the inode cache.

So relying on the 'size' recorded with it to detect when the
device size has changed and so we need to revalidate, is wrong.

Rather, we really do need the 'changed' attribute stored directly in
the mddev and set/tested as appropriate.

Without this patch, a sequence of:
   mknod / open / close / unlink

(which can cause a block_device to be created and then destroyed)
will result in a rescan of the partition table and consequence removal
and addition of partitions.
Several of these in a row can get udev racing to create and unlink and
other code can get confused.

With the patch, the rescan is only performed when needed and so there
are no races.

This is suitable for any stable kernel from 2.6.35.

There are two cases when we call flush_disk.
In one, the device has disappeared (check_disk_change) so any
data will hold becomes irrelevant.
In the oter, the device has changed size (check_disk_size_change)
so data we hold may be irrelevant.

In both cases it makes sense to discard any 'clean' buffers,
so they will be read back from the device if needed.

In the former case it makes sense to discard 'dirty' buffers
as there will never be anywhere safe to write the data.  In the
second case it *does*not* make sense to discard dirty buffers
as that will lead to file system corruption when you simply enlarge
the containing devices.

flush_disk calls __invalidate_devices.
__invalidate_device calls both invalidate_inodes and invalidate_bdev.

invalidate_inodes *does* discard I_DIRTY inodes and this does lead
to fs corruption.

invalidate_bev *does*not* discard dirty pages, but I don't really care
about that at present.

So this patch adds a flag to __invalidate_device (calling it
__invalidate_device2) to indicate whether dirty buffers should be
killed, and this is passed to invalidate_inodes which can choose to
skip dirty inodes.

flusk_disk then passes true from check_disk_change and false from
check_disk_size_change.

dm avoids tripping over this problem by calling i_size_write directly
rathher than using check_disk_size_change.

md does use check_disk_size_change and so is affected.

This regression was introduced by commit 608aeef1 which causes
check_disk_size_change to call flush_disk, so it is suitable for any
kernel since 2.6.27.

Robert Swiecki reported a BUG_ON(page_mapped) from a fuzzer, punching
a hole with madvise(,, MADV_REMOVE).  That path is under mutex, and
cannot be explained by lack of serialization in unmap_mapping_range().

Reviewing the code, I found one place where vm_truncate_count handling
should have been updated, when I switched at the last minute from one
way of managing the restart_addr to another: mremap move changes the
virtual addresses, so it ought to adjust the restart_addr.

But rather than exporting the notion of restart_addr from memory.c, or
converting to restart_pgoff throughout, simply reset vm_truncate_count
to 0 to force a rescan if mremap move races with preempted truncation.

We have no confirmation that this fixes Robert's BUG,
but it is a fix that's worth making anyway.

Michael Leun reported that running parallel opens on a fuse filesystem
can trigger a "kernel BUG at mm/truncate.c:475"

Gurudas Pai reported the same bug on NFS.

The reason is, unmap_mapping_range() is not prepared for more than
one concurrent invocation per inode.  For example:

  thread1: going through a big range, stops in the middle of a vma and
     stores the restart address in vm_truncate_count.

  thread2: comes in with a small (e.g. single page) unmap request on
     the same vma, somewhere before restart_address, finds that the
     vma was already unmapped up to the restart address and happily
     returns without doing anything.

Another scenario would be two big unmap requests, both having to
restart the unmapping and each one setting vm_truncate_count to its
own value.  This could go on forever without any of them being able to
finish.

Truncate and hole punching already serialize with i_mutex.  Other
callers of unmap_mapping_range() do not, and it's difficult to get
i_mutex protection for all callers.  In particular ->d_revalidate(),
which calls invalidate_inode_pages2_range() in fuse, may be called
with or without i_mutex.

This patch adds a new mutex to 'struct address_space' to prevent
running multiple concurrent unmap_mapping_range() on the same mapping.

[ We'll hopefully get rid of all this with the upcoming mm
  preemptibility series by Peter Zijlstra, the "mm: Remove i_mmap_mutex
  lockbreak" patch in particular.  But that is for 2.6.39 ]

Merge branch 'drm-intel-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ickle/drm-intel into drm-fixes

  agp/intel: Experiment with a 855GM GWB bit
  drm/i915: don't enable FDI & transcoder interrupts after all
  drm/i915: Ignore a hung GPU when flushing the framebuffer prior to a switch

It looks like gen2 has a peculiar interleaved 2-row inter-tile
layout. Probably inherited from i81x which had 2kb tiles (which
naturally fit an even-number-of-tile-rows scheme to fit onto 4kb
pages). There is no other mention of this in any docs (also not
in the Intel internal documention according to Chris Wilson).

Problem manifests itself in corruptions in the second half of the
last tile row (if the bo has an odd number of tiles). Which can
only happen with relaxed tiling (introduced in a00b10c3).

So reject set_tiling calls that don't satisfy this constrain to
prevent broken userspace from causing havoc. While at it, also
check the size for newer chipsets.
