This patch adds a function to scan individual or all zones' unevictable lists and move any pages that have become evictable onto the respective zone's inactive list, where shrink_inactive_list() will deal with them. Adds sysctl to scan all nodes, and per node attributes to individual nodes' zones. Kosaki: If evictable page found in unevictable lru when write /proc/sys/vm/scan_unevictable_pages, print filename and file offset of these pages.

This fixes the broken 77af7e34 ("softirq, warning fix: correct a format to avoid a warning") fix correctly. The type of a pointer subtraction is not "int", nor is it "long". It can be either (or something else). It's "ptrdiff_t", and the printk format for it is "%td".

On sethostname() and setdomainname(), previous information may be retained if it was longer than than the new hostname/domainname. This can be demonstrated trivially by calling sethostname() first with a long name, then with a short name, and then calling uname() to retrieve the full buffer that contains the hostname (and possibly parts of the old hostname), one just has to look past the terminating zero. I don't know if we should really care that much (hence the RFC); the only scenarios I can possibly think of is administrator putting something sensitive in the hostname (or domain name) by accident, and changing it back will not undo the mistake entirely, though it's not like we can recover gracefully from "rm -rf /" either... The other scenario is namespaces (CLONE_NEWUTS) where some information may be unintentionally "inherited" from the previous namespace (a program wants to hide the original name and does clone + sethostname, but some information is still left). I think the patch may be defended on grounds of the principle of least surprise. But I am not adamant :-) (I guess the question now is whether userspace should be able to write embedded NULs into the buffer or not...) At least the observation has been made and the patch has been presented. Signed-off-by: NVegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@gmail.com> Cc: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com> Cc: "Serge E.

Way too often, I have a machine that exhibits some kind of crappy behavior. The CPU looks wedged in the kernel or it is spending way too much system time and I wonder what is responsible. I try to run readprofile. But, of course, Ubuntu doesn't enable it by default. Dang! The reason we boot-time enable it is that it takes a big bufffer that we generally can only bootmem alloc. But, does it hurt to at least try and runtime-alloc it? To use: echo 2 > /sys/kernel/profile Then run readprofile like normal. This should fix the compile issue with allmodconfig.

When a process wants to set the limit of open files to RLIM_INFINITY it gets EPERM even if it has CAP_SYS_RESOURCE capability. For example, BIND does: ... #elif defined(NR_OPEN) && defined(__linux__) /* * Some Linux kernels don't accept RLIM_INFINIT; the maximum * possible value is the NR_OPEN defined in linux/fs.h. */ if (resource == isc_resource_openfiles && rlim_value == RLIM_INFINITY) { rl.rlim_cur = rl.rlim_max = NR_OPEN; unixresult = setrlimit(unixresource, &rl); if (unixresult == 0) return (ISC_R_SUCCESS); } #elif ... If we allow setting RLIMIT_NOFILE to RLIM_INFINITY we increase portability - you don't have to check if OS is linux and then use different schema for limits. The spec says "Specifying RLIM_INFINITY as any resource limit value on a successful call to setrlimit() shall inhibit enforcement of that resource limit." and we're presently not doing that.

It's somewhat unlikely that it happens, but right now a race window between interrupts or machine checks or oopses could corrupt the tainted bitmap because it is modified in a non atomic fashion. Convert the taint variable to an unsigned long and use only atomic bit operations on it. Unfortunately this means the intvec sysctl functions cannot be used on it anymore. It turned out the taint sysctl handler could actually be simplified a bit (since it only increases capabilities) so this patch actually removes code.

由 Tejun Heo 提交于
is_sync_wait() is used to distinguish between sync and async waits. Basically sync waits are the ones initialized with init_waitqueue_entry() and async ones with init_waitqueue_func_entry(). The sync/async distinction is used only in prepare_to_wait[_exclusive]() and its only function is to skip setting the current task state if the wait is async. This has a few problems. * No one uses it. None of func_entry users use prepare_to_wait() functions, so the code path never gets executed. * The distinction is bogus. Maybe back when func_entry is used only by aio but it's now also used by epoll and in future possibly by 9p and poll/select. * Taking @state as argument and ignoring it silenly depending on how @wait is initialized is just a bad error-prone API. * It prevents func_entry waits from using wait->private for no good reason. This patch kills is_sync_wait() and the associated code paths from prepare_to_wait[_exclusive](). As there was no user of these code paths, this patch doesn't cause any behavior difference.

We currently use a PM notifier to disable user mode helpers before suspend and hibernation and to re-enable them during resume. However, this is not an ideal solution, because if any drivers want to upload firmware into memory before suspend, they have to use a PM notifier for this purpose and there is no guarantee that the ordering of PM notifiers will be as expected (ie. the notifier that disables user mode helpers has to be run after the driver's notifier used for uploading the firmware). For this reason, it seems better to move the disabling and enabling of user mode helpers to separate functions that will be called by the PM core as necessary.

Base infrastructure to enable per-module debug messages. I've introduced CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG, which when enabled centralizes control of debugging statements on a per-module basis in one /proc file, currently, <debugfs>/dynamic_printk/modules. When, CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG, is not set, debugging statements can still be enabled as before, often by defining 'DEBUG' for the proper compilation unit. Thus, this patch set has no affect when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is not set. The infrastructure currently ties into all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls. That is, if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is set, all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls can be dynamically enabled/disabled on a per-module basis. Future plans include extending this functionality to subsystems, that define their own debug levels and flags. Usage: Dynamic debugging is controlled by the debugfs file, <debugfs>/dynamic_printk/modules. This file contains a list of the modules that can be enabled. The format of the file is as follows: <module_name> <enabled=0/1> . . . <module_name> : Name of the module in which the debug call resides <enabled=0/1> : whether the messages are enabled or not For example: snd_hda_intel enabled=0 fixup enabled=1 driver enabled=0 Enable a module: $echo "set enabled=1 <module_name>" > dynamic_printk/modules Disable a module: $echo "set enabled=0 <module_name>" > dynamic_printk/modules Enable all modules: $echo "set enabled=1 all" > dynamic_printk/modules Disable all modules: $echo "set enabled=0 all" > dynamic_printk/modules Finally, passing "dynamic_printk" at the command line enables debugging for all modules. This mode can be turned off via the above disable command.

We need to add a flag for all code that is in the drivers/staging/ directory to prevent all other kernel developers from worrying about issues here, and to notify users that the drivers might not be as good as they are normally used to. Based on code from Andreas Gruenbacher and Jeff Mahoney to provide a TAINT flag for the support level of a kernel module in the Novell enterprise kernel release. This is the kernel portion of this feature, the ability for the flag to be set needs to be done in the build process and will happen in a follow-up patch.

While working on the new version of the code for SCHED_SPORADIC I noticed something strange in the present throttling mechanism. More specifically in the throttling timer handler in sched_rt.c (do_sched_rt_period_timer()) and in rt_rq_enqueue(). The problem is that, when unthrottling a runqueue, rt_rq_enqueue() only asks for rescheduling if the runqueue has a sched_entity associated to it (i.e., rt_rq->rt_se != NULL). Now, if the runqueue is the root rq (which has a rt_se = NULL) rescheduling does not take place, and it is delayed to some undefined instant in the future. This imply some random bandwidth usage by the RT tasks under throttling. For instance, setting rt_runtime_us/rt_period_us = 950ms/1000ms an RT task will get less than 95%. In our tests we got something varying between 70% to 95%. Using smaller time values, e.g., 95ms/100ms, things are even worse, and I can see values also going down to 20-25%!! The tests we performed are simply running 'yes' as a SCHED_FIFO task, and checking the CPU usage with top, but we can investigate thoroughly if you think it is needed. Things go much better, for us, with the attached patch... Don't know if it is the best approach, but it solved the issue for us.

Impact: jiffies increment too fast. Hugh Dickins noted that with NOHZ=n and HIGHRES=n jiffies get incremented too fast. The reason is a wrong check in the broadcast enter/exit code, which keeps the local apic timer in periodic mode when the switch happens. Signed-off-by: NThomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
