During RCU walk in path_lookupat and path_openat, the rcu lookup
frequently failed if looking up an absolute path, because when root
directory was looked up, seq number was not properly set in nameidata.
We dropped out of RCU walk in nameidata_drop_rcu due to mismatch in
directory entry's seq number. We reverted to slow path walk that need
to take references.
With the following patch, I saw a 50% increase in an exim mail server
benchmark throughput on a 4-socket Nehalem-EX system.

The case we should be verifying when updating the dentry name is that
the _parent_ inode (the directory) semaphore is held, not the semaphore
for the dentry itself. It's the directory locking that rename and
readdir() etc all care about.
The comment just above even says so - but then the BUG_ON() still
checked the dentry inode itself.
Very few people noticed, because this helper function really isn't used
for very much, so you had to be using ncpfs to ever hit it.
I think I should just remove the BUG_ON (the function really has just
one user), but let's run with it fixed for a while before getting rid of
it entirely.

For the explicit unplugging, we'd prefer to kick things off
immediately and not pay the penalty of the latency to switch
to kblockd. So let blk_finish_plug() do the run inline, while
the implicit-on-schedule-out unplug will punt to kblockd.
Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
It's a bit of a mess currently. task->plug is being cleared
and reset in __blk_finish_plug(), and blk_finish_plug() is
testing for a NULL plug which cannot happen even from schedule()
anymore since it uses blk_needs_flush_plug() to determine
whether to call into this function at all.
So get rid of some of the cruft.

The conventional format for boolean attributes in sysfs is numeric ("0" or
"1" followed by new-line). Any boolean attribute can then be read and
written using a generic function. Using the strings "yes [no]", "[yes]
no" (read), "yes" and "no" (write) will frustrate this.

This is an almost-revert of commit 93b43fa ("oom: give the dying task a
higher priority").
That commit dramatically improved oom killer logic when a fork-bomb
occurs. But I've found that it has nasty corner case. Now cpu cgroup has
strange default RT runtime. It's 0! That said, if a process under cpu
cgroup promote RT scheduling class, the process never run at all.
If an admin inserts a !RT process into a cpu cgroup by setting
rtruntime=0, usually it runs perfectly because a !RT task isn't affected
by the rtruntime knob. But if it promotes an RT task via an explicit
setscheduler() syscall or an OOM, the task can't run at all. In short,
the oom killer doesn't work at all if admins are using cpu cgroup and don't
touch the rtruntime knob.
Eventually, kernel may hang up when oom kill occur. I and the original
author Luis agreed to disable this logic.

all_unreclaimable check in direct reclaim has been introduced at 2.6.19
by following commit.
2006 Sep 25; commit 408d8544; oom: use unreclaimable info
And it went through strange history. firstly, following commit broke
the logic unintentionally.
2008 Apr 29; commit a41f24ea; page allocator: smarter retry of
costly-order allocations
Two years later, I've found obvious meaningless code fragment and
restored original intention by following commit.
2010 Jun 04; commit bb21c7ce; vmscan: fix do_try_to_free_pages()
return value when priority==0
But, the logic didn't works when 32bit highmem system goes hibernation
and Minchan slightly changed the algorithm and fixed it .
2010 Sep 22: commit d1908362: vmscan: check all_unreclaimable
in direct reclaim path
But, recently, Andrey Vagin found the new corner case. Look,
struct zone {
..
int all_unreclaimable;
..
unsigned long pages_scanned;
..
}
zone->all_unreclaimable and zone->pages_scanned are neigher atomic
variables nor protected by lock. Therefore zones can become a state of
zone->page_scanned=0 and zone->all_unreclaimable=1. In this case, current
all_unreclaimable() return false even though zone->all_unreclaimabe=1.
This resulted in the kernel hanging up when executing a loop of the form
1. fork
2. mmap
3. touch memory
4. read memory
5. munmmap
as described in
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1348725#1348725
Is this ignorable minor issue? No. Unfortunately, x86 has very small dma
zone and it become zone->all_unreclamble=1 easily. and if it become
all_unreclaimable=1, it never restore all_unreclaimable=0. Why? if
all_unreclaimable=1, vmscan only try DEF_PRIORITY reclaim and
a-few-lru-pages>>DEF_PRIORITY always makes 0. that mean no page scan at
all!
Eventually, oom-killer never works on such systems. That said, we can't
use zone->pages_scanned for this purpose. This patch restore
all_unreclaimable() use zone->all_unreclaimable as old. and in addition,
to add oom_killer_disabled check to avoid reintroduce the issue of commit
d1908362 ("vmscan: check all_unreclaimable in direct reclaim path").

In __access_remote_vm() we need to check that we have found the right
vma, not the following vma before we try to access it. Otherwise we
might call the vma's access routine with an address which does not fall
inside the vma.
It was discovered on a current kernel but with an unreleased driver,
from memory it was strace leading to a kernel bad access, but it
obviously depends on what the access implementation does.
Looking at other access implementations I only see:
$ git grep -A 5 vm_operations|grep access
arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/file.c- .access = spufs_mem_mmap_access,
arch/x86/pci/i386.c- .access = generic_access_phys,
drivers/char/mem.c- .access = generic_access_phys
fs/sysfs/bin.c- .access = bin_access,
The spufs one looks like it might behave badly given the wrong vma, it
assumes vma->vm_file->private_data is a spu_context, and looks like it
would probably blow up pretty quickly if it wasn't.
generic_access_phys() only uses the vma to check vm_flags and get the
mm, and then walks page tables using the address. So it should bail on
the vm_flags check, or at worst let you access some other VM_IO mapping.
And bin_access() just proxies to another access implementation.

The memory hotplug case involves calling to build_all_zonelists() which
in turns calls in to setup_zone_pageset(). The latter is marked
__meminit while build_all_zonelists() itself has no particular
annotation. build_all_zonelists() is only handed a non-NULL pointer in
the case of memory hotplug through an existing __meminit path, so the
setup_zone_pageset() reference is always safe.
The options as such are either to flag build_all_zonelists() as __ref (as
per __build_all_zonelists()), or to simply discard the __meminit
annotation from setup_zone_pageset().

When suspending/resuming, the common task freezing code will run in
parallel and freeze processes on each core. This is because the code
uses the non-smp version of memory barriers (as well it should).
The Blackfin smp barrier logic at the moment contains the cache sync
logic, but the non-smp barriers do not. This is incorrect as Rafel

We really only want to unplug the pending IO when the process actually
goes to sleep. So move the test for flushing the plug up to the place
where we actually deactivate the task - where we have properly checked
for preemption and for the process really sleeping.

Commit 982134ba62 ("mm: avoid wrapping vm_pgoff in mremap()") fixed
the case of a expanding mapping causing vm_pgoff wrapping when you used
mremap. But there was another case where we expand mappings hiding in
plain sight: the automatic stack expansion.
This fixes that case too.
This one also found by Robert Święcki, using his nasty system call
fuzzer tool. Good job.

The ATAG_BOARDINFO is intended to hand over the information
bd->bi_board_number from u-boot to the kernel.
This piece of information can be used to implement some kind of board
identification while booting the kernel. Therefore it is placed in .initdata
section and can be accessed via the new symbol board_number only while
initializing the kernel.

platform_get_irq returns -ENXIO on failure, so !int_irq was probably
always true. Better use (int)int_irq <= 0. Note that a return value of
zero is still handled as error even though this could mean irq0.
This is a followup to 305b3228f9 that
changed the return value of platform_get_irq from 0 to -ENXIO on error.

We can delete the code that checks to see if we're sending an ignored
signal to init because force_sig_info() already handles this case.
force_sig_info() will kill init even if the signal handler is SIG_DFL
and the scenario described in the comment where init might "generate
the same exception over and over again" cannot occur (force_sig_info()
clears SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE to ensure that init will die).
Also, the use of is_global_init() is not correct in the multhreaded
case, as Oleg Nesterov explains,
"is_global_init() is not right in theory, /sbin/init can be
multithreaded. And, this doesn't cover the sub-namespace
inits... I'd suggest to check SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE, but looking
closer I think you can simply remove this code."
It seems this code was copied from arch/powerpc in March 2007 in commit
623b0355d5 "[AVR32] Clean up exception handling code"
but the code was deleted from arch/powerpc in November 2009 in commit
a0592d42fe "powerpc: kill the obsolete code under is_global_init()"
So catch up with powerpc and delete the bogus code.
