      [PATCH] rmap: don't test rss · 839b9685
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Remove the three get_mm_counter(mm, rss) tests from rmap.c: there was a
      time when testing rss was important to avoid a particular race between
      dup_mmap and the anonmm rmap; but now it's just a rather silly pseudo-
      optimization, made even more obscure by the get_mm_counter macro.

      [PATCH] swap: swap_lock replace list+device · 5d337b91
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      The idea of a swap_device_lock per device, and a swap_list_lock over them all,
      is appealing; but in practice almost every holder of swap_device_lock must
      already hold swap_list_lock, which defeats the purpose of the split.
      
      The only exceptions have been swap_duplicate, valid_swaphandles and an
      untrodden path in try_to_unuse (plus a few places added in this series).
      valid_swaphandles doesn't show up high in profiles, but swap_duplicate does
      demand attention.  However, with the hold time in get_swap_pages so much
      reduced, I've not yet found a load and set of swap device priorities to show
      even swap_duplicate benefitting from the split.  Certainly the split is mere
      overhead in the common case of a single swap device.
      
      So, replace swap_list_lock and swap_device_lock by spinlock_t swap_lock
      (generally we seem to prefer an _ in the name, and not hide in a macro).
      
      If someone can show a regression in swap_duplicate, then probably we should
      add a hashlock for the swap_map entries alone (shorts being anatomic), so as
      to help the case of the single swap device too.

      [PATCH] xip: fs/mm: execute in place · ceffc078
      Carsten Otte 提交于
      - generic_file* file operations do no longer have a xip/non-xip split
      - filemap_xip.c implements a new set of fops that require get_xip_page
        aop to work proper. all new fops are exported GPL-only (don't like to
        see whatever code use those except GPL modules)
      - __xip_unmap now uses page_check_address, which is no longer static
        in rmap.c, and defined in linux/rmap.h
      - mm/filemap.h is now much more clean, plainly having just Linus'
        inline funcs moved here from filemap.c
      - fix includes in filemap_xip to make it build cleanly on i386

      [PATCH] can_share_swap_page: use page_mapcount · c475a8ab
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Remember that ironic get_user_pages race?  when the raised page_count on a
      page swapped out led do_wp_page to decide that it had to copy on write, so
      substituted a different page into userspace.  2.6.7 onwards have Andrea's
      solution, where try_to_unmap_one backs out if it finds page_count raised.
      
      Which works, but is unsatisfying (rmap.c has no other page_count heuristics),
      and was found a few months ago to hang an intensive page migration test.  A
      year ago I was hesitant to engage page_mapcount, now it seems the right fix.
      
      So remove the page_count hack from try_to_unmap_one; and use activate_page in
      unuse_mm when dropping lock, to replace its secondary effect of helping
      swapoff to make progress in that case.
      
      Simplify can_share_swap_page (now called only on anonymous pages) to check
      page_mapcount + page_swapcount == 1: still needs the page lock to stabilize
      their (pessimistic) sum, but does not need swapper_space.tree_lock for that.
      
      In do_swap_page, move swap_free and unlock_page below page_add_anon_rmap, to
      keep sum on the high side, and correct when can_share_swap_page called.

      [PATCH] try_to_unmap_cluster() passes out-of-bounds pte to pte_unmap() · cafdd8ba
      William Lee Irwin III 提交于
      try_to_unmap_cluster() does:
              for (pte = pte_offset_map(pmd, address);
                              address < end; pte++, address += PAGE_SIZE) {
      		...
      	}
      
      	pte_unmap(pte);
      
      It may take a little staring to notice, but pte can actually fall off the
      end of the pte page in this iteration, which makes life difficult for
      kmap_atomic() and the users not expecting it to BUG().  Of course, we're
      somewhat lucky in that arithmetic elsewhere in the function guarantees that
      at least one iteration is made, lest this force larger rearrangements to be
      made.  This issue and patch also apply to non-mm mainline and with trivial
      adjustments, at least two related kernels.
      
      Discovered during internal testing at Oracle.

      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
