2012-06-14mm, sl[aou]b: Extract common fields from struct kmem_cacheChristoph Lameter
Define a struct that describes common fields used in all slab allocators. A slab allocator either uses the common definition (like SLOB) or is required to provide members of kmem_cache with the definition given. After that it will be possible to share code that only operates on those fields of kmem_cache. The patch basically takes the slob definition of kmem cache and uses the field namees for the other allocators. It also standardizes the names used for basic object lengths in allocators: object_size Struct size specified at kmem_cache_create. Basically the payload expected to be used by the subsystem. size The size of memory allocator for each object. This size is larger than object_size and includes padding, alignment and extra metadata for each object (f.e. for debugging and rcu).

2012-06-13splice: fix racy pipe->buffers usesEric Dumazet
Dave Jones reported a kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3474! triggered by splice_shrink_spd() called from vmsplice_to_pipe() commit 35f3d14dbbc5 (pipe: add support for shrinking and growing pipes) added capability to adjust pipe->buffers. Problem is some paths don't hold pipe mutex and assume pipe->buffers doesn't change for their duration. Fix this by adding nr_pages_max field in struct splice_pipe_desc, and use it in place of pipe->buffers where appropriate. splice_shrink_spd() loses its struct pipe_inode_info argument.

At first glance one would think that memblock_is_region_memory() and memblock_is_region_reserved() would be implemented in the same way. Unfortunately they aren't and the former returns whether the region specified is a subset of a memory bank while the latter returns whether the region specified intersects with reserved memory. Document the two functions so that users aren't tempted to make the implementation the same between them and to clarify the purpose of the functions.

2012-06-03Revert "mm: compaction: handle incorrect MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE type pageblocks"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit 5ceb9ce6fe9462a298bb2cd5c9f1ca6cb80a0199. That commit seems to be the cause of the mm compation list corruption issues that Dave Jones reported. The locking (or rather, absense there-of) is dubious, as is the use of the 'page' variable once it has been found to be outside the pageblock range. So revert it for now, we can re-visit this for 3.6. If we even need to: as Minchan Kim says, "The patch wasn't a bug fix and even test workload was very theoretical".

2012-06-03mm: fix warning in __set_page_dirty_nobuffersHugh Dickins
New tmpfs use of !PageUptodate pages for fallocate() is triggering the WARNING: at mm/page-writeback.c:1990 when __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() is called from migrate_page_copy() for compaction. It is anomalous that migration should use __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() on an address_space that does not participate in dirty and writeback accounting; and this has also been observed to insert surprising dirty tags into a tmpfs radix_tree, despite tmpfs not using tags at all. We should probably give migrate_page_copy() a better way to preserve the tag and migrate accounting info, when mapping_cap_account_dirty(). But that needs some more work: so in the interim, avoid the warning by using a simple SetPageDirty on PageSwapBacked pages.

2012-06-01fs: introduce inode operation ->update_timeJosef Bacik
Btrfs has to make sure we have space to allocate new blocks in order to modify the inode, so updating time can fail. We've gotten around this by having our own file_update_time but this is kind of a pain, and Christoph has indicated he would like to make xfs do something different with atime updates. So introduce ->update_time, where we will deal with i_version an a/m/c time updates and indicate which changes need to be made. The normal version just does what it has always done, updates the time and marks the inode dirty, and then filesystems can choose to do something different. I've gone through all of the users of file_update_time and made them check for errors with the exception of the fault code since it's complicated and I wasn't quite sure what to do there, also Jan is going to be pushing the file time updates into page_mkwrite for those who have it so that should satisfy btrfs and make it not a big deal to check the file_update_time() return code in the generic fault path.

A cleanup of rw_copy_check_uvector and compat_rw_copy_check_uvector after changes made to support CMA in an earlier patch. Rather than having an additional check_access parameter to these functions, the first paramater type is overloaded to allow the caller to specify CHECK_IOVEC_ONLY which means check that the contents of the iovec are valid, but do not check the memory that they point to. This is used by process_vm_readv/writev where we need to validate that a iovec passed to the syscall is valid but do not want to check the memory that it points to at this point because it refers to an address space in another process.

With this, the oops is gone, and the output of libhugetlbfs's run_tests.py is identical to plain 3.4 again.
