2010-08-30scatterlist: prevent invalid free when alloc failsJeffrey Carlyle
When alloc fails, free_table is being called. Depending on the number of bytes requested, we determine if we are going to call _get_free_page() or kmalloc(). When alloc fails, our math is wrong (due to sg_size - 1), and the last buffer is wrongfully assumed to have been allocated by kmalloc. Hence, kfree gets called and a panic occurs.

2010-08-28writeback: Fix lost wake-up shutting down writeback threadJ. Bruce Fields
Setting the task state here may cause us to miss the wake up from kthread_stop(), so we need to recheck kthread_should_stop() or risk sleeping forever in the following schedule(). Symptom was an indefinite hang on an NFSv4 mount. (NFSv4 may create multiple mounts in a temporary namespace while traversing the mount path, and since the temporary namespace is immediately destroyed, it may end up destroying a mount very soon after it was created, possibly making this race more likely.)

The bdi thread runs, does all works, and goes sleep. 'bdi->wb.task' is still NULL. And this is a dangerous time window. If at this time someone queues a work for this bdi, he does not see the bdi thread and wakes up the forker thread instead! But the forker has already forked this bdi thread, but just did not make it visible yet! The result is that we lose the wake up event for this bdi thread and the NFS4 code waits forever. To fix the problem, we should use 'ktrhead_create()' for creating bdi threads, then make them visible in 'bdi->wb.task', and only after this wake them up. This is exactly what this patch does.

2010-08-23block: add function call to switch the IO scheduler from a driverJens Axboe
Currently drivers must do an elevator_exit() + elevator_init() to switch IO schedulers. There are a few problems with this: - Since commit 1abec4fdbb142e3ccb6ce99832fae42129134a96, elevator_init() requires a zeroed out q->elevator pointer. The two existing in-kernel users don't do that. - It will only work at initialization time, since using the above two-staged construct does not properly quisce the queue. So add elevator_change() which takes care of this, and convert the elv_iosched_store() sysfs interface to use this helper as well.

2010-08-23cfq-iosched: Do group share accounting in IOPS when slice_idle=0Vivek Goyal
o Implement another CFQ mode where we charge group in terms of number of requests dispatched instead of measuring the time. Measuring in terms of time is not possible when we are driving deeper queue depths and there are requests from multiple cfq queues in the request queue. o This mode currently gets activated if one sets slice_idle=0 and associated disk supports NCQ. Again the idea is that on an NCQ disk with idling disabled most of the queues will dispatch 1 or more requests and then cfq queue expiry happens and we don't have a way to measure time. So start providing fairness in terms of IOPS. o Currently IOPS mode works only with cfq group scheduling. CFQ is following different scheduling algorithms for queue and group scheduling. These IOPS stats are used only for group scheduling hence in non-croup mode nothing should change. o For CFQ group scheduling one can disable slice idling so that we don't idle on queue and drive deeper request queue depths (achieving better throughput), at the same time group idle is enabled so one should get service differentiation among groups.

2010-08-23radix-tree: radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged() can set incorrect tagsDave Chinner
Commit ebf8aa44beed48cd17893a83d92a4403e5f9d9e2 ("radix-tree: omplement function radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged") does not safely set tags on on intermediate tree nodes. The code walks down the tree setting tags before it has fully resolved the path to the leaf under the assumption there will be a leaf slot with the tag set in the range it is searching. Unfortunately, this is not a valid assumption - we can abort after setting a tag on an intermediate node if we overrun the number of tags we are allowed to set in a batch, or stop scanning because we we have passed the last scan index before we reach a leaf slot with the tag we are searching for set. As a result, we can leave the function with tags set on intemediate nodes which can be tripped over later by tag-based lookups. The result of these stale tags is that lookup may end prematurely or livelock because the lookup cannot make progress. The fix for the problem involves reocrding the traversal path we take to the leaf nodes, and only propagating the tags back up the tree once the tag is set in the leaf node slot. We are already recording the path for efficient traversal, so there is no additional overhead to do the intermediately node tag setting in this manner. This fixes a radix tree lookup livelock triggered by the new writeback sync livelock avoidance code introduced in commit f446daaea9d4a420d16c606f755f3689dcb2d0ce ("mm: implement writeback livelock avoidance using page tagging").

2010-08-23radix-tree: clear all tags in radix_tree_node_rcu_freeDave Chinner
Commit f446daaea9d4a420d16c606f755f3689dcb2d0ce ("mm: implement writeback livelock avoidance using page tagging") introduced a new radix tree tag, increasing the number of tags in each node from 2 to 3. It did not, however, fix up the code in radix_tree_node_rcu_free() that cleans up after radix_tree_shrink() and hence could leave stray tags set in the new tag array. The result is that the livelock avoidance code added in the the above commit would hit stale tags when doing tag based lookups, resulting in livelocks when trying to traverse the tree. Fix this problem in radix_tree_node_rcu_free() so it doesn't happen again in the future by using a loop to walk all the tags up to RADIX_TREE_MAX_TAGS to clear the stray tags radix_tree_shrink() leaves behind.

2010-08-21mm: make stack guard page logic use vm_prev pointerLinus Torvalds
Like the mlock() change previously, this makes the stack guard check code use vma->vm_prev to see what the mapping below the current stack is, rather than have to look it up with find_vma(). Also, accept an abutting stack segment, since that happens naturally if you split the stack with mlock or mprotect.

2010-08-21mm: make the mlock() stack guard page checks stricterLinus Torvalds
If we've split the stack vma, only the lowest one has the guard page. Now that we have a doubly linked list of vma's, checking this is trivial. Tested-by: Ian Campbell <ijc@hellion.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2010-08-21mm: make the vma list be doubly linkedLinus Torvalds
It's a really simple list, and several of the users want to go backwards in it to find the previous vma. So rather than have to look up the previous entry with 'find_vma_prev()' or something similar, just make it doubly linked instead.

Apparently, the check for a 6-byte ID string introduced by commit 426c457a3216fac74e3d44dd39729b0689f4c7ab ("mtd: nand: extend NAND flash detection to new MLC chips") is NOT sufficient to determine whether or not a Samsung chip uses their new MLC detection scheme or the old, standard scheme. This adds a condition to check cell type.

2010-08-20Documentation: kernel-locking: mutex_trylock cannot be used in interrupt contextStefan Richter
Chapter 6 is right about mutex_trylock, but chapter 10 wasn't. This error was introduced during semaphore-to-mutex conversion of the Unreliable guide. :-) If user context which performs mutex_lock() or mutex_trylock() is preempted by interrupt context which performs mutex_trylock() on the same mutex instance, a deadlock occurs. This is because these functions do not disable local IRQs when they operate on mutex->wait_lock.

2010-08-20oom: __task_cred() need rcu_read_lock()KOSAKI Motohiro
dump_tasks() needs to hold the RCU read lock around its access of the target task's UID. To this end it should use task_uid() as it only needs that one thing from the creds. The fact that dump_tasks() holds tasklist_lock is insufficient to prevent the target process replacing its credentials on another CPU. Then, this patch change to call rcu_read_lock() explicitly. =================================================== [ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ] --------------------------------------------------- mm/oom_kill.c:410 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection! other info that might help us debug this: rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1 4 locks held by kworker/1:2/651: #0: (events){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff8106aae7>] process_one_work+0x137/0x4a0 #1: (moom_work){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff8106aae7>] process_one_work+0x137/0x4a0 #2: (tasklist_lock){.+.+..}, at: [<ffffffff810fafd4>] out_of_memory+0x164/0x3f0 #3: (&(&p->alloc_lock)->rlock){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff810fa48e>] find_lock_task_mm+0x2e/0x70 Signed-off-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: Paul E.
