| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Memory hotplug code of i386 adds memory to only highmem. So, if CONFIG_HIGHMEM is not set, CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG shouldn't be set. Otherwise, it causes compile error. In addition, many architecture can't use memory hotplug feature yet. So, I introduce CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTPLUG.

* | | [PATCH] generic_file_buffered_write(): handle zero-length iovec segmentsAndrew Morton2006-06-292-3/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The recent generic_file_write() deadlock fix caused generic_file_buffered_write() to loop inifinitely when presented with a zero-length iovec segment. Fix. Note that this fix deliberately avoids calling ->prepare_write(), ->commit_write() etc with a zero-length write. This is because I don't trust all filesystems to get that right. This is a cautious approach, for 2.6.17.x. For 2.6.18 we should just go ahead and call ->prepare_write() and ->commit_write() with the zero length and fix any broken filesystems. So I'll make that change once this code is stabilised and backported into 2.6.17.x. The reason for preferring to call ->prepare_write() and ->commit_write() with the zero-length segment: a zero-length segment _should_ be sufficiently uncommon that this is the correct way of handling it. We don't want to optimise for poorly-written userspace at the expense of well-written userspace. Cc: "Vladimir V.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In 2.6.17, there was a problem with cpu_notifiers and XFS. I provided a band-aid solution to solve that problem. In the process, i undid all the changes you both were making to ensure that these notifiers were available only at init time (unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined). We deferred the real fix to 2.6.18. Here is a set of patches that fixes the XFS problem cleanly and makes the cpu notifiers available only at init time (unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined). If CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined then cpu notifiers are available at run time.

* | | [PATCH] generic_file_buffered_write(): deadlock on vectored writeVladimir V. Saveliev2006-06-271-7/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | generic_file_buffered_write() prefaults in user pages in order to avoid deadlock on copying from the same page as write goes to. However, it looks like there is a problem when write is vectored: fault_in_pages_readable brings in current segment or its part (maxlen). OTOH, filemap_copy_from_user_iovec is called to copy number of bytes (bytes) which may exceed current segment, so filemap_copy_from_user_iovec switches to the next segment which is not brought in yet. Pagefault is generated. That causes the deadlock if pagefault is for the same page write goes to: page being written is locked and not uptodate, pagefault will deadlock trying to lock locked page.

* | | [PATCH] Register sysfs file for hotplugged new nodeYasunori Goto2006-06-271-1/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When new node becomes enable by hot-add, new sysfs file must be created for new node. So, if new node is enabled by add_memory(), register_one_node() is called to create it. In addition, I386's arch_register_node() and a part of register_nodes() of powerpc are consolidated to register_one_node() as a generic_code(). This is tested by Tiger4(IPF) with node hot-plug emulation.

Now, hot-added memory has to be aligned to section size. Considering big section sized archs, this is not useful. When hot-added memory is registerd as iomem resoruce by iomem resource patch, we can make use of that information to detect valid memory range. Note: With this, not-aligned memory can be registerd. To allow hot-add memory with holes, we have to do more work around add_memory(). (It doesn't allows add memory to already existing mem section.)

(8). update zonelist after pages are onlined. (This is already merged in -mm due to update phase is difference.) Note: To make common function as much as possible, there is 2 changes from v2. - The old add_memory(), which is defiend by each archs, is renamed to arch_add_memory(). New add_memory becomes caller of arch dependent function as a common code. - This patch changes add_memory()'s interface From: add_memory(start, end) TO : add_memory(nid, start, end). It was cause of similar code that finding node id from physical address is inside of old add_memory() on each arch. In addition, acpi memory hotplug driver can find node id easier. In v2, it must walk DSDT'S _CRS by matching physical address to get the handle of its memory device, then get _PXM and node id. Because input is just physical address. However, in v3, the acpi driver can use handle to get _PXM and node id for the new memory device. It can pass just node id to add_memory(). Fix interface of arch_add_memory() is in next patche.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Every inode in /proc holds a reference to a struct task_struct. If a directory or file is opened and remains open after the the task exits this pinning continues. With 8K stacks on a 32bit machine the amount pinned per file descriptor is about 10K. Normally I would figure a reasonable per user process limit is about 100 processes. With 80 processes, with a 1000 file descriptors each I can trigger the 00M killer on a 32bit kernel, because I have pinned about 800MB of useless data. This patch replaces the struct task_struct pointer with a pointer to a struct task_ref which has a struct task_struct pointer. The so the pinning of dead tasks does not happen. The code now has to contend with the fact that the task may now exit at any time. Which is a little but not muh more complicated. With this change it takes about 1000 processes each opening up 1000 file descriptors before I can trigger the OOM killer. Much better. [mlp@google.com: task_mmu small fixes] Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Michael Tokarev <mjt@tls.msk.ru> described the problem as: [QUOTE] Suppose there's a CD-rom with a scratch/etc, one sector is unreadable. In order to "fix" it, one have to read it and write to another CD-rom, or something.. or just ignore the error (if it's just a skip in a video stream). Let's assume the unreadable block is number U. But current behavior is just insane. An application requests block number N, which is before U. Kernel tries to read-ahead blocks N..U. Cdrom drive tries to read it, re-read it.. for some time. Finally, when all the N..U-1 blocks are read, kernel returns block number N (as requested) to an application, successefully. Now an app requests block number N+1, and kernel tries to read blocks N+1..U+1. Retrying again as in previous step. And so on, up to when an app requests block number U-1. And when, finally, it requests block U, it receives read error. So, kernel currentry tries to re-read the same failing block as many times as the current readahead value (256 (times?) by default). This whole process already killed my cdrom drive (I posted about it to LKML several months ago) - literally, the drive has fried, and does not work anymore. Ofcourse that problem was a bug in firmware (or whatever) of the drive *too*, but.. main problem with that is current readahead logic as described above. [/QUOTE] Which was confirmed by Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>: [QUOTE] For ide-cd, it tends do only end the first part of the request on a medium error. So you may see a lot of repeats :/ [/QUOTE] With this patch, retries are expected to be reduced from, say, 256, to 5.

* | | | [PATCH] Prepare for __copy_from_user_inatomic to not zero missed bytesNeilBrown2006-06-252-14/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem is that when we write to a file, the copy from userspace to pagecache is first done with preemption disabled, so if the source address is not immediately available the copy fails *and* *zeros* *the* *destination*. This is a problem because a concurrent read (which admittedly is an odd thing to do) might see zeros rather that was there before the write, or what was there after, or some mixture of the two (any of these being a reasonable thing to see). If the copy did fail, it will immediately be retried with preemption re-enabled so any transient problem with accessing the source won't cause an error. The first copying does not need to zero any uncopied bytes, and doing so causes the problem. It uses copy_from_user_atomic rather than copy_from_user so the simple expedient is to change copy_from_user_atomic to *not* zero out bytes on failure. The first of these two patches prepares for the change by fixing two places which assume copy_from_user_atomic does zero the tail. The two usages are very similar pieces of code which copy from a userspace iovec into one or more page-cache pages. These are changed to remove the assumption. The second patch changes __copy_from_user_inatomic* to not zero the tail. Once these are accepted, I will look at similar patches of other architectures where this is important (ppc, mips and sparc being the ones I can find). This patch: There is a problem with __copy_from_user_inatomic zeroing the tail of the buffer in the case of an error. As it is called in atomic context, the error may be transient, so it results in zeros being written where maybe they shouldn't be. In the usage in filemap, this opens a window for a well timed read to see data (zeros) which is not consistent with any ordering of reads and writes. Most cases where __copy_from_user_inatomic is called, a failure results in __copy_from_user being called immediately. As long as the latter zeros the tail, the former doesn't need to. However in *copy_from_user_iovec implementations (in both filemap and ntfs/file), it is assumed that copy_from_user_inatomic will zero the tail. This patch removes that assumption, so that after this patch it will be safe for copy_from_user_inatomic to not zero the tail. This patch also adds some commentary to filemap.h and asm-i386/uaccess.h. After this patch, all architectures that might disable preempt when kmap_atomic is called need to have their __copy_from_user_inatomic* "fixed".

That all broke when swsusp came along - because a timer-delivered wakeup to a frozen pdflush thread will just get lost. This causes the pdflush thread to get lost as well: the writeback timer is supposed to be re-armed by pdflush in process context, but pdflush doesn't execute the callout which does this.

That function may perform page migration on its own (some vmas may not contain page structs and therefore cannot be handled by regular page migration. Pages in a vma may require special preparatory treatment before migration is possible etc) . Only mmap_sem is held when the migration function is called. The migrate() function gets passed two sets of nodemasks describing the source and the target of the migration. The flags parameter either contains MPOL_MF_MOVE which means that only pages used exclusively by the specified mm should be moved or MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL which means that pages shared with other processes should also be moved. The migration function returns 0 on success or an error condition. An error condition will prevent regular page migration from occurring. On its own this patch cannot be included since there are no users for this functionality. But it seems that the uncached allocator will need this functionality at some point.

Failing to do so hid them from the VM. A_T_P just means that the aop method unlocked the page rather than performing IO. It would be very rare that the page was truncated between the unlock and testing A_T_P. So we leave the pages in the LRU for likely reuse soon rather than backing them back out of the page cache. We do this by matching the behaviour before the A_T_P introduction which added pages to the LRU regardless of what ->readpage() did. This doesn't include the unrelated cleanup in Nick's initial fix which changed read_pages() to return void to match its only caller's behaviour of ignoring errors.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A process flag to indicate whether we are doing sync io is incredibly ugly. It also causes performance problems when one does a lot of async io and then proceeds to sync it. Part of the io will go out as async, and the other part as sync. This causes a disconnect between the previously submitted io and the synced io. For io schedulers such as CFQ, this will cause us lost merges and suboptimal behaviour in scheduling. Remove PF_SYNCWRITE completely from the fsync/msync paths, and let the O_DIRECT path just directly indicate that the writes are sync by using WRITE_SYNC instead.

* | | [PATCH] page migration: use allocator function for migrate_pages()Christoph Lameter2006-06-232-85/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of passing a list of new pages, pass a function to allocate a new page. This allows the correct placement of MPOL_INTERLEAVE pages during page migration. It also further simplifies the callers of migrate pages. migrate_pages() becomes similar to migrate_pages_to() so drop migrate_pages_to(). The batching of new page allocations becomes unnecessary.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Do not leave pages on the lists passed to migrate_pages(). Seems that we will not need any postprocessing of pages. This will simplify the handling of pages by the callers of migrate_pages().

Extract two functions from migrate_pages() and get rid of the gotos. Plus we can just unconditionally set the locked bit on the new page since we are the only one holding a reference. Locking is to stop others from accessing the page once we establish references to the new page. Remove the list_del from move_to_lru in order to have finer control over list processing.
