The presense of a writeq() implementation on 32-bit x86 that splits the 64-bit write into two 32-bit writes turns out to break the mpt2sas driver (and in general is risky for drivers as was discussed in <http://lkml.kernel.org/r/adaab6c1h7c.fsf@cisco.com>). To fix this, revert 2c5643b1 ("x86: provide readq()/writeq() on 32-bit too") and follow-on cleanups. This unfortunately leads to pushing non-atomic definitions of readq() and write() to various x86-only drivers that in the meantime started using the definitions in the x86 version of <asm/io.h>. However as discussed exhaustively, this is actually the right thing to do, because the right way to split a 64-bit transaction is hardware dependent and therefore belongs in the hardware driver (eg mpt2sas needs a spinlock to make sure no other accesses occur in between the two halves of the access). Build tested on 32- and 64-bit x86 allmodconfig.

Apps are increasingly using more than 1024 file descriptors. See discussion in several distro bug trackers, e.g. BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/663090 https://issues.rpath.com/browse/RPL-2054 You don't want to raise the default soft limit, since that might break apps that use select(), but it's safe to raise the default hard limit; that way, apps that know they need lots of file descriptors can raise their soft limit without needing root, and without user intervention. Ubuntu is doing this with a kernel change because they have a policy of not changing kernel defaults in userland. While 4096 might not be enough for *all* apps, it seems to be plenty for the apps I've seen lately that are unhappy with 1024.

The zone->lru_lock is heavily contented in workload where activate_page() is frequently used. We could do batch activate_page() to reduce the lock contention. The batched pages will be added into zone list when the pool is full or page reclaim is trying to drain them. For example, in a 4 socket 64 CPU system, create a sparse file and 64 processes, processes shared map to the file. Each process read access the whole file and then exit. The process exit will do unmap_vmas() and cause a lot of activate_page() call. In such workload, we saw about 58% total time reduction with below patch. Other workloads with a lot of activate_page also benefits a lot too. Andrew Morton suggested activate_page() and putback_lru_pages() should follow the same path to active pages, but this is hard to implement (see commit 7a608572 ("Revert "mm: batch activate_page() to reduce lock contention")). On the other hand, do we really need putback_lru_pages() to follow the same path? I tested several FIO/FFSB benchmark (about 20 scripts for each benchmark) in 3 machines here from 2 sockets to 4 sockets. My test doesn't show anything significant with/without below patch (there is slight difference but mostly some noise which we found even without below patch before).

I believe I found a problem in __alloc_pages_slowpath, which allows a process to get stuck endlessly looping, even when lots of memory is available. Running an I/O and memory intensive stress-test I see a 0-order page allocation with __GFP_IO and __GFP_WAIT, running on a system with very little free memory. Right about the same time that the stress-test gets killed by the OOM-killer, the utility trying to allocate memory gets stuck in __alloc_pages_slowpath even though most of the systems memory was freed by the oom-kill of the stress-test. The utility ends up looping from the rebalance label down through the wait_iff_congested continiously. Because order=0, __alloc_pages_direct_compact skips the call to get_page_from_freelist. Because all of the reclaimable memory on the system has already been reclaimed, __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim skips the call to get_page_from_freelist. Since there is no __GFP_FS flag, the block with __alloc_pages_may_oom is skipped. The loop hits the wait_iff_congested, then jumps back to rebalance without ever trying to get_page_from_freelist. This loop repeats infinitely. The test case is pretty pathological. Running a mix of I/O stress-tests that do a lot of fork() and consume all of the system memory, I can pretty reliably hit this on 600 nodes, in about 12 hours. 32GB/node.

In show_numa_map() we collect statistics into a numa_maps structure. Since the number of NUMA nodes can be very large, this structure is not a candidate for stack allocation. Instead of going thru a kmalloc()+kfree() cycle each time show_numa_map() is invoked, perform the allocation just once when /proc/pid/numa_maps is opened. Performing the allocation when numa_maps is opened, and thus before a reference to the target tasks mm is taken, eliminates a potential stalemate condition in the oom-killer as originally described by Hugh Dickins: ... imagine what happens if the system is out of memory, and the mm we're looking at is selected for killing by the OOM killer: while we wait in __get_free_page for more memory, no memory is freed from the selected mm because it cannot reach exit_mmap while we hold that reference.

Moving show_numa_map() from mempolicy.c to task_mmu.c solves several issues. - Having the show() operation "miles away" from the corresponding seq_file iteration operations is a maintenance burden. - The need to export ad hoc info like struct proc_maps_private is eliminated. - The implementation of show_numa_map() can be improved in a simple manner by cooperating with the other seq_file operations (start, stop, etc) -- something that would be messy to do without this change.

Implement generic xattrs for tmpfs filesystems. The Feodra project, while trying to replace suid apps with file capabilities, realized that tmpfs, which is used on the build systems, does not support file capabilities and thus cannot be used to build packages which use file capabilities. Xattrs are also needed for overlayfs. The xattr interface is a bit odd. If a filesystem does not implement any {get,set,list}xattr functions the VFS will call into some random LSM hooks and the running LSM can then implement some method for handling xattrs. SELinux for example provides a method to support security.selinux but no other security.* xattrs. As it stands today when one enables CONFIG_TMPFS_POSIX_ACL tmpfs will have xattr handler routines specifically to handle acls. Because of this tmpfs would loose the VFS/LSM helpers to support the running LSM. To make up for that tmpfs had stub functions that did nothing but call into the LSM hooks which implement the helpers. This new patch does not use the LSM fallback functions and instead just implements a native get/set/list xattr feature for the full security.* and trusted.* namespace like a normal filesystem. This means that tmpfs can now support both security.selinux and security.capability, which was not previously possible. The basic implementation is that I attach a: struct shmem_xattr { struct list_head list; /* anchored by shmem_inode_info->xattr_list */ char *name; size_t size; char value[0]; }; Into the struct shmem_inode_info for each xattr that is set. This implementation could easily support the user.* namespace as well, except some care needs to be taken to prevent large amounts of unswappable memory being allocated for unprivileged users.

The bootmem wrapper with memblock supports top-down now, so we do not need to set the low limit to __pa(MAX_DMA_ADDRESS). The logic should be: good to allocate above __pa(MAX_DMA_ADDRESS), but it is ok if we can not find memory above 16M on system that has a small amount of RAM.

The problem with having two different types of counters is that developers adding new code need to keep in mind whether it's safe to use both the atomic and non-atomic implementations. For example, when adding new callers of the *_mm_counter() functions a developer needs to ensure that those paths are always executed with page_table_lock held, in case we're using the non-atomic implementation of mm counters. Hugh Dickins introduced the atomic mm counters in commit f412ac08 ("[PATCH] mm: fix rss and mmlist locking"). When asked why he left the non-atomic counters around he said, | The only reason was to avoid adding costly atomic operations into a | configuration that had no need for them there: the page_table_lock | sufficed. | | Certainly it would be simpler just to delete the non-atomic variant. | | And I think it's fair to say that any configuration on which we're | measuring performance to that degree (rather than "does it boot fast?" | type measurements), would already be going the split ptlocks route. Removing the non-atomic counters eases the maintenance burden because developers no longer have to mindful of the two implementations when using *_mm_counter(). Note that all architectures provide a means of atomically updating atomic_long_t variables, even if they have to revert to the generic spinlock implementation because they don't support 64-bit atomic instructions (see lib/atomic64.c).

The page allocator will improperly return a page from ZONE_NORMAL even when __GFP_DMA is passed if CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is disabled. The caller expects DMA memory, perhaps for ISA devices with 16-bit address registers, and may get higher memory resulting in undefined behavior. This patch causes the page allocator to return NULL in such circumstances with a warning emitted to the kernel log on the first occurrence.
