      [PATCH] POLLRDHUP/EPOLLRDHUP handling for half-closed devices notifications · f348d70a
      Davide Libenzi 提交于
      Implement the half-closed devices notifiation, by adding a new POLLRDHUP
      (and its alias EPOLLRDHUP) bit to the existing poll/select sets.  Since the
      existing POLLHUP handling, that does not report correctly half-closed
      devices, was feared to be changed, this implementation leaves the current
      POLLHUP reporting unchanged and simply add a new bit that is set in the few
      places where it makes sense.  The same thing was discussed and conceptually
      agreed quite some time ago:
      
      http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/12/116
      
      Since this new event bit is added to the existing Linux poll infrastruture,
      even the existing poll/select system calls will be able to use it.  As far
      as the existing POLLHUP handling, the patch leaves it as is.  The
      pollrdhup-2.6.16.rc5-0.10.diff defines the POLLRDHUP for all the existing
      archs and sets the bit in the six relevant files.  The other attached diff
      is the simple change required to sys/epoll.h to add the EPOLLRDHUP
      definition.
      
      There is "a stupid program" to test POLLRDHUP delivery here:
      
       http://www.xmailserver.org/pollrdhup-test.c
      
      It tests poll(2), but since the delivery is same epoll(2) will work equally.

      [PATCH] more for_each_cpu() conversions · 394e3902
      Andrew Morton 提交于
      When we stop allocating percpu memory for not-possible CPUs we must not touch
      the percpu data for not-possible CPUs at all.  The correct way of doing this
      is to test cpu_possible() or to use for_each_cpu().
      
      This patch is a kernel-wide sweep of all instances of NR_CPUS.  I found very
      few instances of this bug, if any.  But the patch converts lots of open-coded
      test to use the preferred helper macros.

      [PATCH] atomic: add_unless cmpxchg optimise · 0b2fcfdb
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Without branch hints, the very unlikely chance of the loop repeating due to
      cmpxchg failure is unrolled with gcc-4 that I have tested.
      
      Improve this for architectures with a native cas/cmpxchg.  llsc archs
      should try to implement this natively.

      [PATCH] madvise MADV_DONTFORK/MADV_DOFORK · f8225661
      Michael S. Tsirkin 提交于
      Currently, copy-on-write may change the physical address of a page even if the
      user requested that the page is pinned in memory (either by mlock or by
      get_user_pages).  This happens if the process forks meanwhile, and the parent
      writes to that page.  As a result, the page is orphaned: in case of
      get_user_pages, the application will never see any data hardware DMA's into
      this page after the COW.  In case of mlock'd memory, the parent is not getting
      the realtime/security benefits of mlock.
      
      In particular, this affects the Infiniband modules which do DMA from and into
      user pages all the time.
      
      This patch adds madvise options to control whether memory range is inherited
      across fork.  Useful e.g.  for when hardware is doing DMA from/into these
      pages.  Could also be useful to an application wanting to speed up its forks
      by cutting large areas out of consideration.
