Remove the page_table_lock from around the calls to unmap_vmas, and replace the pte_offset_map in zap_pte_range by pte_offset_map_lock: all callers are now safe to descend without page_table_lock. Don't attempt fancy locking for hugepages, just take page_table_lock in unmap_hugepage_range. Which makes zap_hugepage_range, and the hugetlb test in zap_page_range, redundant: unmap_vmas calls unmap_hugepage_range anyway. Nor does unmap_vmas have much use for its mm arg now. The tlb_start_vma and tlb_end_vma in unmap_page_range are now called without page_table_lock: if they're implemented at all, they typically come down to flush_cache_range (usually done outside page_table_lock) and flush_tlb_range (which we already audited for the mprotect case).

Second step in pushing down the page_table_lock. Remove the temporary bridging hack from __pud_alloc, __pmd_alloc, __pte_alloc: expect callers not to hold page_table_lock, whether it's on init_mm or a user mm; take page_table_lock internally to check if a racing task already allocated. Convert their callers from common code. But avoid coming back to change them again later: instead of moving the spin_lock(&mm->page_table_lock) down, switch over to new macros pte_alloc_map_lock and pte_unmap_unlock, which encapsulate the mapping+locking and unlocking+unmapping together, and in the end may use alternatives to the mm page_table_lock itself. These callers all hold mmap_sem (some exclusively, some not), so at no level can a page table be whipped away from beneath them; and pte_alloc uses the "atomic" pmd_present to test whether it needs to allocate. It appears that on all arches we can safely descend without page_table_lock.

It seems odd to me that, whereas pud_alloc and pmd_alloc test inline, only calling out-of-line __pud_alloc __pmd_alloc if allocation needed, pte_alloc_map and pte_alloc_kernel are entirely out-of-line. Though it does add a little to kernel size, change them to macros testing inline, calling __pte_alloc or __pte_alloc_kernel to allocate out-of-line. Mark none of them as fastcalls, leave that to CONFIG_REGPARM or not. It also seems more natural for the out-of-line functions to leave the offset calculation and map to the inline, which has to do it anyway for the common case. At least mremap move wants __pte_alloc without _map. Macros rather than inline functions, certainly to avoid the header file issues which arise from CONFIG_HIGHPTE needing kmap_types.h, but also in case any architectures I haven't built would have other such problems.

First step in pushing down the page_table_lock. init_mm.page_table_lock has been used throughout the architectures (usually for ioremap): not to serialize kernel address space allocation (that's usually vmlist_lock), but because pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel expect caller holds it. Reverse that: don't lock or unlock init_mm.page_table_lock in any of the architectures; instead rely on pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel to take and drop it when allocating a new one, to check lest a racing task already did. Similarly no page_table_lock in vmalloc's map_vm_area. Some temporary ugliness in __pud_alloc and __pmd_alloc: since they also handle user mms, which are converted only by a later patch, for now they have to lock differently according to whether or not it's init_mm. If sources get muddled, there's a danger that an arch source taking init_mm.page_table_lock will be mixed with common source also taking it (or neither take it). So break the rules and make another change, which should break the build for such a mismatch: remove the redundant mm arg from pte_alloc_kernel (ppc64 scrapped its distinct ioremap_mm in 2.6.13). Exceptions: arm26 used pte_alloc_kernel on user mm, now pte_alloc_map; ia64 used pte_alloc_map on init_mm, now pte_alloc_kernel; parisc had bad args to pmd_alloc and pte_alloc_kernel in unused USE_HPPA_IOREMAP code; ppc64 map_io_page forgot to unlock on failure; ppc mmu_mapin_ram and ppc64 im_free took page_table_lock for no good reason.

Slight and timid rearrangement of mm_struct: hiwater_rss and hiwater_vm were tacked on the end, but it seems better to keep them near _file_rss, _anon_rss and total_vm, in the same cacheline on those arches verified. There are likely to be more profitable rearrangements, but less obvious (is it good or bad that saved_auxv[AT_VECTOR_SIZE] isolates cpu_vm_mask and context from many others?), needing serious instrumentation.

update_mem_hiwater has attracted various criticisms, in particular from those concerned with mm scalability. Originally it was called whenever rss or total_vm got raised. Then many of those callsites were replaced by a timer tick call from account_system_time. Now Frank van Maarseveen reports that to be found inadequate. How about this? Works for Frank. Replace update_mem_hiwater, a poor combination of two unrelated ops, by macros update_hiwater_rss and update_hiwater_vm. Don't attempt to keep mm->hiwater_rss up to date at timer tick, nor every time we raise rss (usually by 1): those are hot paths. Do the opposite, update only when about to lower rss (usually by many), or just before final accounting in do_exit. Handle mm->hiwater_vm in the same way, though it's much less of an issue. Demand that whoever collects these hiwater statistics do the work of taking the maximum with rss or total_vm. And there has been no collector of these hiwater statistics in the tree. The new convention needs an example, so match Frank's usage by adding a VmPeak line above VmSize to /proc/<pid>/status, and also a VmHWM line above VmRSS (High-Water-Mark or High-Water-Memory). There was a particular anomaly during mremap move, that hiwater_vm might be captured too high. A fleeting such anomaly remains, but it's quickly corrected now, whereas before it would stick. What locking? None: if the app is racy then these statistics will be racy, it's not worth any overhead to make them exact. But whenever it suits, hiwater_vm is updated under exclusive mmap_sem, and hiwater_rss under page_table_lock (for now) or with preemption disabled (later on): without going to any trouble, minimize the time between reading current values and updating, to minimize those occasions when a racing thread bumps a count up and back down in between.

Remove PageReserved() calls from core code by tightening VM_RESERVED handling in mm/ to cover PageReserved functionality. PageReserved special casing is removed from get_page and put_page. All setting and clearing of PageReserved is retained, and it is now flagged in the page_alloc checks to help ensure we don't introduce any refcount based freeing of Reserved pages. MAP_PRIVATE, PROT_WRITE of VM_RESERVED regions is tentatively being deprecated. We never completely handled it correctly anyway, and is be reintroduced in future if required (Hugh has a proof of concept). Once PageReserved() calls are removed from kernel/power/swsusp.c, and all arch/ and driver code, the Set and Clear calls, and the PG_reserved bit can be trivially removed. Last real user of PageReserved is swsusp, which uses PageReserved to determine whether a struct page points to valid memory or not. This still needs to be addressed (a generic page_is_ram() should work). A last caveat: the ZERO_PAGE is now refcounted and managed with rmap (and thus mapcounted and count towards shared rss). These writes to the struct page could cause excessive cacheline bouncing on big systems. There are a number of ways this could be addressed if it is an issue.

I was lazy when we added anon_rss, and chose to change as few places as possible. So currently each anonymous page has to be counted twice, in rss and in anon_rss. Which won't be so good if those are atomic counts in some configurations. Change that around: keep file_rss and anon_rss separately, and add them together (with get_mm_rss macro) when the total is needed - reading two atomics is much cheaper than updating two atomics. And update anon_rss upfront, typically in memory.c, not tucked away in page_add_anon_rmap.

Divide remove_vm_struct into two parts: first anon_vma_unlink plus unlink_file_vma, to unlink the vma from the list and tree by which rmap or vmtruncate might find it; then remove_vma to close, fput and free. The intention here is to do the anon_vma_unlink and unlink_file_vma earlier, in free_pgtables before freeing any page tables: so we can be sure that any page tables traversed by rmap and vmtruncate are stable (and other, ordinary cases are stabilized by holding mmap_sem). This will be crucial to traversing pgd,pud,pmd without page_table_lock. But testing the split-out patch showed that lifting the page_table_lock is symbiotically necessary to make this change - the lock ordering is wrong to move those unlinks into free_pgtables while it's under ptlock.

The number of extra fields added to struct usb_host_endpoint has been reduced from 4 to 1.

This patch removes the extra usb_suspend_device() parameter. The original reason to pass that parameter was so that this routine could suspend any active children. A previous patch removed that functionality ... leaving no reason to pass the parameter. A close analogy is pci_set_power_state, which doesn't need a pm_message_t either. On the internal code path that comes through the driver model, the parameter is now used to distinguish cases where USB devices need to "freeze" but not suspend. It also checks for an error case that's accessible through sysfs: attempting to suspend a device before its interfaces (or for hubs, ports).

Some PCI adapters (eg. ipr scsi adapters) have an exposure today in that they issue BIST to the adapter to reset the card. If, during the time it takes to complete BIST, userspace attempts to access PCI config space, the host bus bridge will master abort the access since the ipr adapter does not respond on the PCI bus for a brief period of time when running BIST. On PPC64 hardware, this master abort results in the host PCI bridge isolating that PCI device from the rest of the system, making the device unusable until Linux is rebooted. This patch is an attempt to close that exposure by introducing some blocking code in the PCI code. When blocked, writes will be humored and reads will return the cached value. Ben Herrenschmidt has also mentioned that he plans to use this in PPC power management.

This is my rewrite of the SMBus PEC support. The original implementation was known to have bugs (credits go to Hideki Iwamoto for reporting many of them recently), and was incomplete due to a conceptual limitation. The rewrite affects only software PEC. Hardware PEC needs very little code and is mostly untouched. Technically, both implementations differ in that the original one was emulating PEC in software by modifying the contents of an i2c_smbus_data union (changing the transaction to a different type), while the new one works one level lower, on i2c_msg structures (working on message contents). Due to the definition of the i2c_smbus_data union, not all SMBus transactions could be handled (at least not without changing the definition of this union, which would break user-space compatibility), and those which could had to be implemented individually. At the opposite, adding PEC to an i2c_msg structure can be done on any SMBus transaction with common code. Advantages of the new implementation: * It's about twice as small (from ~136 lines before to ~70 now, only counting i2c-core, including blank and comment lines). The memory used by i2c-core is down by ~640 bytes (~3.5%). * Easier to validate, less tricky code. The code being common to all transactions by design, the risk that a bug can stay uncovered is lower. * All SMBus transactions have PEC support in I2C emulation mode (providing the non-PEC transaction is also implemented). Transactions which have no emulation code right now will get PEC support for free when they finally get implemented. * Allows for code simplifications in header files and bus drivers (patch follows). Drawbacks (I guess there had to be at least one): * PEC emulation for non-PEC capable non-I2C SMBus masters was dropped. It was based on SMBus tricks and doesn't quite fit in the new design. I don't think it's really a problem, as the benefit was certainly not worth the additional complexity, but it's only fair that I at least mention it. Lastly, let's note that the new implementation does slightly affect compatibility (both in kernel and user-space), but doesn't actually break it. Some defines will be dropped, but the code can always be changed in a way that will work with both the old and the new implementations. It shouldn't be a problem as there doesn't seem to be many users of SMBus PEC to date anyway. Signed-off-by: NJean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: NGreg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
