      [PATCH] strndup_user() · 96840aa0
      由 Davi Arnaut 提交于 
      This patch series creates a strndup_user() function to easy copying C strings
from userspace.  Also we avoid common pitfalls like userspace modifying the
final \0 after the strlen_user().

      [PATCH] msync: fix return value · 676758bd
      由 Andrew Morton 提交于 
      msync() does a strange thing.  Essentially:

	vma = find_vma();
	for ( ; ; ) {
		if (!vma)
			return -ENOMEM;
		...
		vma = vma->vm_next;
	}

so an msync() request which starts within or before a valid VMA and which ends
within or beyond the final VMA will incorrectly return -ENOMEM.

Fix.

      [PATCH] msync(MS_SYNC): don't hold mmap_sem while syncing · 707c21c8
      由 Andrew Morton 提交于 
      It seems bad to hold mmap_sem while performing synchronous disk I/O.  Alter
the msync(MS_SYNC) code so that the lock is released while we sync the file.

      [PATCH] msync(): perform dirty page levelling · 9c50823e
      由 Andrew Morton 提交于 
      It seems sensible to perform dirty page throttling in msync: as the application
dirties pages we can kick off pdflush early, or even force the msync() caller
to perform writeout, or even throttle the msync() caller.

The main effect of this is to start disk writeback earlier if we've just
discovered that a large amount of pagecache has been dirtied.  (Otherwise it
wouldn't happen for up to five seconds, next time pdflush wakes up).

It also will cause the page-dirtying process to get panalised for dirtying
those pages rather than whacking someone else with the problem.

We should do this for munmap() and possibly even exit(), too.

We drop the mmap_sem while performing the dirty page balancing.  It doesn't
seem right to hold mmap_sem for that long.

Note that this patch only affects MS_ASYNC.  MS_SYNC will be syncing all the
dirty pages anyway.

We note that msync(MS_SYNC) does a full-file-sync inside mmap_sem, and always
has.  We can fix that up...

The patch also tightens up the mmap_sem coverage in sys_msync(): no point in
taking it while we perform the incoming arg checking.

      [PATCH] set_page_dirty() return value fixes · 4741c9fd
      由 Andrew Morton 提交于 
      We need set_page_dirty() to return true if it actually transitioned the page
from a clean to dirty state.  This wasn't right in a couple of places.  Do a
kernel-wide audit, fix things up.

This leaves open the possibility of returning a negative errno from
set_page_dirty() sometime in the future.  But we don't do that at present.

      [PATCH] fadvise(): write commands · ebcf28e1
      由 Andrew Morton 提交于 
      Add two new linux-specific fadvise extensions():

LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE: start async writeout of any dirty pages between file
offsets `offset' and `offset+len'.  Any pages which are currently under
writeout are skipped, whether or not they are dirty.

LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT: wait upon writeout of any dirty pages between file
offsets `offset' and `offset+len'.

By combining these two operations the application may do several things:

LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE: push some or all of the dirty pages at the disk.

LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT, LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE: push all of the currently dirty
pages at the disk.

LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT, LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE, LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT: push all
of the currently dirty pages at the disk, wait until they have been written.

It should be noted that none of these operations write out the file's
metadata.  So unless the application is strictly performing overwrites of
already-instantiated disk blocks, there are no guarantees here that the data
will be available after a crash.

To complete this suite of operations I guess we should have a "sync file
metadata only" operation.  This gives applications access to all the building
blocks needed for all sorts of sync operations.  But sync-metadata doesn't fit
well with the fadvise() interface.  Probably it should be a new syscall:
sys_fmetadatasync().

The patch also diddles with the meaning of `endbyte' in sys_fadvise64_64().
It is made to represent that last affected byte in the file (ie: it is
inclusive).  Generally, all these byterange and pagerange functions are
inclusive so we can easily represent EOF with -1.

As Ulrich notes, these two functions are somewhat abusive of the fadvise()
concept, which appears to be "set the future policy for this fd".

But these commands are a perfect fit with the fadvise() impementation, and
several of the existing fadvise() commands are synchronous and don't affect
future policy either.   I think we can live with the slight incongruity.

      [PATCH] cpuset: memory_spread_slab drop useless PF_SPREAD_PAGE check · b2455396
      由 Paul Jackson 提交于 
      The hook in the slab cache allocation path to handle cpuset memory
spreading for tasks in cpusets with 'memory_spread_slab' enabled has a
modest performance bug.  The hook calls into the memory spreading handler
alternate_node_alloc() if either of 'memory_spread_slab' or
'memory_spread_page' is enabled, even though the handler does nothing
(albeit harmlessly) for the page case

Fix - drop PF_SPREAD_PAGE from the set of flag bits that are used to
trigger a call to alternate_node_alloc().

The page case is handled by separate hooks -- see the calls conditioned on
cpuset_do_page_mem_spread() in mm/filemap.c
