The internal hugetlb resv_huge_pages variable can permanently leak nonzero
value in the error path of hugetlb page fault handler when hugetlb page is
used in combination of cpuset. The leaked count can permanently trap N
number of hugetlb pages in unusable "reserved" state.
Steps to reproduce the bug:
(1) create two cpuset, user1 and user2
(2) reserve 50 htlb pages in cpuset user1
(3) attempt to shmget/shmat 50 htlb page inside cpuset user2
(4) kernel oom the user process in step 3
(5) ipcrm the shm segment
At this point resv_huge_pages will have a count of 49, even though
there are no active hugetlbfs file nor hugetlb shared memory segment
in the system. The leak is permanent and there is no recovery method
other than system reboot. The leaked count will hold up all future use
of that many htlb pages in all cpusets.
The culprit is that the error path of alloc_huge_page() did not
properly undo the change it made to resv_huge_page, causing
inconsistent state.

This patch removes the possibility of having uninitialized log state if the
log device has failed.
When a mirror resumes operation, it calls 'resume' on the logging module. If
disk based logging is being used, the log device is read to fill in the log
state. If the log device has failed, we cannot simply return, because this
would leave the in-memory log state uninitialized. Instead, we assume all
regions are out-of-sync and reset the log state. Failure to do this could
result in the logging code reporting a region as in-sync, even though it
isn't; which could result in a corrupted mirror.

The call to rh_in_sync() in do_reads() should be allowed to block. It is in
the mirror worker thread which already permits blocking operations. This will
be needed to support clustered mirroring which will perform network

With the code as it is, it is possible for oustanding clear region requests
never to get flushed when a mirror is deactivated or suspended. This means
there will always be some resync work required when a mirror is activated,
even though it may very well be in-sync.
Always requesting the flush doesn't hurt us. This is because the log tracks
whether any changes occurred and, if not, no flush is performed.

This patch adds the ability to specify desired features in the mirror
constructor/mapping table.
The first feature of interest is "handle_errors". Currently, mirroring will
ignore any I/O errors from the devices. Subsequent patches will check for
this flag and handle the errors. If flag/feature is not present, mirror will
do nothing - maintaining backwards compatibility.

Allocate smaller clones
With the previous dm-crypt fixes, there is no need for the clone bios to have
the same bvec size as the original - we just need to make them big enough for
the remaining number of pages. The only requirement is that we clear the
"out" index in convert_context, so that crypt_convert starts storing data at
the right position within the clone bio.

Get rid of first_clone in dm-crypt
This gets rid of first_clone, which is not really needed. Apparently, cloned
bios used to share their bvec some time way in the past - this is no longer

This patch replaces the single instance of kmirrord by one instance per mirror
set. This change is required to avoid a deadlock in kmirrord when the
persistent dirty log of a mirror itself resides on a mirror. The single
instance of kmirrord then issues a sync write to the dirty log in write_bits
which gets deferred to kmirrord itself later in the call chain. But kmirrord
never does the deferred work because it is still waiting for the sync
write_bits.
_mirror_sets is removed as it no longer needed, and we always flush the
workqueue before destroying it to ensure all work is complete before
destroying it.

CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG can be used to switch off the debugging and sysfs components
of SLUB. Thus SLUB will be able to replace SLOB. SLUB can arrange objects in
a denser way than SLOB and the code size should be minimal without debugging
and sysfs support.
Note that CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is materially different from CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG.
CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG is used to enable slab debugging in SLAB. SLUB enables
debugging via a boot parameter. SLUB debug code should always be present.
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG can be modified in the embedded config section.

SLUB currently assumes that the cacheline size is static. However, i386 f.e.
supports dynamic cache line size determination.
Use cache_line_size() instead of L1_CACHE_BYTES in the allocator.
That also explains the purpose of SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN. So we will need to keep
that one around to allow dynamic aligning of objects depending on boot
determination of the cache line size.

In the process of rewriting the x86 setup code, I found a number of
inaccuracies and outdated recommendations in the boot protocol
documentation. Revamp to make it more up to date.
In particular, the common use of the heap actually requires (slightly)
more than 4K of heap plus stack, which is the recommended amount in
the document; currently the code compensates by being smaller than
specified, but we can't assume that will be true forever. Thus,
recommend that if we have a modern bzImage kernel, that the bootloader
maximizes the available space.

task from the "expired" array'
Revert commit bd53f96ca54a21c07e7a0ae1886fa623d370b85f.
Con says:
This is no good, sorry. The one I saw originally was with the staircase
deadline cpu scheduler in situ and was different.
#define TASK_PREEMPTS_CURR(p, rq) \
((p)->prio < (rq)->curr->prio)
(((p)->prio < (rq)->curr->prio) && ((p)->array == (rq)->active))
This will fail to wake up a runqueue for a task that has been migrated to the
expired array of a runqueue which is otherwise idle which can happen with smp
balancing,

We have a standard suffix to associate a designation string to a sensor:
_label. Use it instead of _position so that libsensors will catch it.
(This isn't implemented yet, but should be soon.)

Let the applesmc device export its address to userspace. libsensors needs
this to recognize the device and give it a unique ID.
