* mwave: fix info leak in mwave_ioctl()Dan Carpenter2013-07-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Smatch complains that on 64 bit systems, there is a hole in the MW_ABILITIES struct between ->component_count and ->component_list[]. It leaks stack information from the mwave_ioctl() function. I've added a memset() to initialize the struct to zero.

* ipc/sem.c: rename try_atomic_semop() to perform_atomic_semop(), docu updateManfred Spraul2013-07-091-11/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Cleanup: Some minor points that I noticed while writing the previous patches 1) The name try_atomic_semop() is misleading: The function performs the operation (if it is possible). 2) Some documentation updates. No real code change, a rename and documentation changes.

* ipc/sem.c: replace shared sem_otime with per-semaphore valueManfred Spraul2013-07-092-7/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sem_otime contains the time of the last semaphore operation that completed successfully. Every operation updates this value, thus access from multiple cpus can cause thrashing. Therefore the patch replaces the variable with a per-semaphore variable. The per-array sem_otime is only calculated when required. No performance improvement on a single-socket i3 - only important for larger systems.

* ipc/sem.c: always use only one queue for alter operationsManfred Spraul2013-07-091-40/+88
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are two places that can contain alter operations: - the global queue: sma->pending_alter - the per-semaphore queues: sma->sem_base[].pending_alter. Since one of the queues must be processed first, this causes an odd priorization of the wakeups: complex operations have priority over simple ops. The patch restores the behavior of linux <=3.0.9: The longest waiting operation has the highest priority. This is done by using only one queue: - if there are complex ops, then sma->pending_alter is used. - otherwise, the per-semaphore queues are used. As a side effect, do_smart_update_queue() becomes much simpler: no more goto logic.

* ipc/sem: separate wait-for-zero and alter tasks into seperate queuesManfred Spraul2013-07-092-61/+155
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce separate queues for operations that do not modify the semaphore values. Advantages: - Simpler logic in check_restart(). - Faster update_queue(): Right now, all wait-for-zero operations are always tested, even if the semaphore value is not 0. - wait-for-zero gets again priority, as in linux <=3.0.9 Signed-off-by: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr.bueso@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* ipc/sem.c: cacheline align the semaphore structuresManfred Spraul2013-07-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As now each semaphore has its own spinlock and parallel operations are possible, give each semaphore its own cacheline. On a i3 laptop, this gives up to 28% better performance: #semscale 10 | grep "interleave 2" - before: Cpus 1, interleave 2 delay 0: 36109234 in 10 secs Cpus 2, interleave 2 delay 0: 55276317 in 10 secs Cpus 3, interleave 2 delay 0: 62411025 in 10 secs Cpus 4, interleave 2 delay 0: 81963928 in 10 secs -after: Cpus 1, interleave 2 delay 0: 35527306 in 10 secs Cpus 2, interleave 2 delay 0: 70922909 in 10 secs <<< + 28% Cpus 3, interleave 2 delay 0: 80518538 in 10 secs Cpus 4, interleave 2 delay 0: 89115148 in 10 secs <<< + 8.7% i3, with 2 cores and with hyperthreading enabled. Interleave 2 in order use first the full cores. HT partially hides the delay from cacheline trashing, thus the improvement is "only" 8.7% if 4 threads are running.

* ipc/util.c, ipc_rcu_alloc: cacheline align allocationManfred Spraul2013-07-091-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enforce that ipc_rcu_alloc returns a cacheline aligned pointer on SMP. Rationale: The SysV sem code tries to move the main spinlock into a seperate cacheline (____cacheline_aligned_in_smp). This works only if ipc_rcu_alloc returns cacheline aligned pointers. vmalloc and kmalloc return cacheline algined pointers, the implementation of ipc_rcu_alloc breaks that.

* ipc: move rcu lock out of ipc_addidDavidlohr Bueso2013-07-093-7/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patchset continues the work that began in the sysv ipc semaphore scaling series, see https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/20/546 Just like semaphores used to be, sysv shared memory and msg queues also abuse the ipc lock, unnecessarily holding it for operations such as permission and security checks. This patchset mostly deals with mqueues, and while shared mem can be done in a very similar way, I want to get these patches out in the open first. It also does some pending cleanups, mostly focused on the two level locking we have in ipc code, taking care of ipc_addid() and ipcctl_pre_down_nolock() - yes there are still functions that need to be updated as well. This patch: Make all callers explicitly take and release the RCU read lock. This addresses the two level locking seen in newary(), newseg() and newqueue(). For the last two, explicitly unlock the ipc object and the rcu lock, instead of calling the custom shm_unlock and msg_unlock functions.

* ptrace/x86: dont delay "disable" till second pass in ptrace_write_dr7()Oleg Nesterov2013-07-091-33/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ptrace_write_dr7() skips ptrace_modify_breakpoint(disabled => true) unless second_pass, this buys nothing but complicates the code and means that we always do the main loop twice even if "disabled" was never true. The comment says: Don't unregister the breakpoints right-away, unless all register_user_hw_breakpoint() requests have succeeded. Firstly, we do not do register_user_hw_breakpoint(), it was removed by commit 24f1e32c60c4 ("hw-breakpoints: Rewrite the hw-breakpoints layer on top of perf events"). We are going to restore register_user_hw_breakpoint() (see the next patch) but this doesn't matter: after commit 44234adcdce3 ("hw-breakpoints: Modify breakpoints without unregistering them") perf_event_disable() can not hurt, hw_breakpoint_del() does not free the slot. Remove the "second_pass" check from the main loop and simplify the code. Since we have to check "bp != NULL" anyway, the patch also removes the same check in ptrace_modify_breakpoint() and moves the comment into ptrace_write_dr7(). With this patch the second pass is only needed to restore the saved old_dr7. This should never fail, so the patch adds WARN_ON() to catch the potential problems as Frederic suggested.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch, originally from Android kernel, adds vfat ioctl command FAT_IOCTL_GET_VOLUME_ID, with this command we can get the vfat volume ID using following code: ioctl(fd, FAT_IOCTL_GET_VOLUME_ID, &volume_ID) This patch is a modified version of the patch by Mike Lockwood, with changes from Dmitry Pervushin, who noticed the original patch makes some volume IDs abiguous with error returns: for example, if volume id is 0xFFFFFDAD, that matches -ENOIOCTLCMD, we get "FFFFFFFF" from the user space. So add a parameter to ioctl to get the correct volume ID. Android uses vfat volume ID to identify different sd card, when a new sd card is inserted to device, android can scan the media on it and pop up new contents.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use css_get/put instead of mem_cgroup_get/put. A simple replacement will do. The historical reason that memcg has its own refcnt instead of always using css_get/put, is that cgroup couldn't be removed if there're still css refs, so css refs can't be used as long-lived reference. The situation has changed so that rmdir a cgroup will succeed regardless css refs, but won't be freed until css refs goes down to 0.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use css_get/put instead of mem_cgroup_get/put. We can't do a simple replacement, because here mem_cgroup_put() is called during mem_cgroup_css_free(), while mem_cgroup_css_free() won't be called until css refcnt goes down to 0. Instead we increment css refcnt in mem_cgroup_css_offline(), and then check if there's still kmem charges. If not, css refcnt will be decremented immediately, otherwise the refcnt will be released after the last kmem allocation is uncahred.

* memcg: don't use mem_cgroup_get() when creating a kmemcg cacheLi Zefan2013-07-091-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use css_get()/css_put() instead of mem_cgroup_get()/mem_cgroup_put(). There are two things being done in the current code: First, we acquired a css_ref to make sure that the underlying cgroup would not go away. That is a short lived reference, and it is put as soon as the cache is created. At this point, we acquire a long-lived per-cache memcg reference count to guarantee that the memcg will still be alive. so it is: enqueue: css_get create : memcg_get, css_put destroy: memcg_put So we only need to get rid of the memcg_get, change the memcg_put to css_put, and get rid of the now extra css_put.

* memcg, kmem: fix reference count handling on the error pathMichal Hocko2013-07-091-8/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | mem_cgroup_css_online calls mem_cgroup_put if memcg_init_kmem fails. This is not correct because only memcg_propagate_kmem takes an additional reference while mem_cgroup_sockets_init is allowed to fail as well (although no current implementation fails) but it doesn't take any reference. This all suggests that it should be memcg_propagate_kmem that should clean up after itself so this patch moves mem_cgroup_put over there. Unfortunately this is not that easy (as pointed out by Li Zefan) because memcg_kmem_mark_dead marks the group dead (KMEM_ACCOUNTED_DEAD) if it is marked active (KMEM_ACCOUNTED_ACTIVE) which is the case even if memcg_propagate_kmem fails so the additional reference is dropped in that case in kmem_cgroup_destroy which means that the reference would be dropped two times. The easiest way then would be to simply remove mem_cgrroup_put from mem_cgroup_css_online and rely on kmem_cgroup_destroy doing the right thing.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ZONE_WRITEBACK After the patch "mm: vmscan: Flatten kswapd priority loop" was merged the scanning priority of kswapd changed. The priority now rises until it is scanning enough pages to meet the high watermark. shrink_inactive_list sets ZONE_WRITEBACK if a number of pages were encountered under writeback but this value is scaled based on the priority. As kswapd frequently scans with a higher priority now it is relatively easy to set ZONE_WRITEBACK. This patch removes the scaling and treates writeback pages similar to how it treats unqueued dirty pages and congested pages. The user-visible effect should be that kswapd will writeback fewer pages from reclaim context.
