* Revert "fbdev: atafb - add palette register check"Geert Uytterhoeven2009-12-171-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 8546e3ce6e37c359979b69862442f94e0ef0e03b, as it's a partial duplicate of commit 2f390380ca69e1617cdddb12d8da94f0a9f4319d ("fbdev: add palette register check to several drivers"). The former went in first through the m68k tree, the latter through Andrew Morton.

* x86/ptrace: make genregs[32]_get/set more robustLinus Torvalds2009-12-171-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | The loop condition is fragile: we compare an unsigned value to zero, and then decrement it by something larger than one in the loop. All the callers should be passing in appropriately aligned buffer lengths, but it's better to just not rely on it, and have some appropriate defensive loop limits.

| * XFS: Free buffer pages array unconditionallyDave Chinner2009-12-161-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code in xfs_free_buf() only attempts to free the b_pages array if the buffer is a page cache backed or page allocated buffer. The extra log buffer that is used when the log wraps uses pages that are allocated to a different log buffer, but it still has a b_pages array allocated when those pages are associated to with the extra buffer in xfs_buf_associate_memory. Hence we need to always attempt to free the b_pages array when tearing down a buffer, not just on buffers that are explicitly marked as page bearing buffers. This fixes a leak detected by the kernel memory leak code. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com> Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <aelder@sgi.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For a long time we've always stored bmap btree records in the 64bit format, so kill off the dead 32bit type, and make sure the 64bit type is named just xfs_bmbt_rec everywhere, without any size postfix.

| * xfs: improve metadata I/O merging in the elevatorDave Chinner2009-12-164-1/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change all async metadata buffers to use [READ|WRITE]_META I/O types so that the I/O doesn't get issued immediately. This allows merging of adjacent metadata requests but still prioritises them over bulk data. This shows a 10-15% improvement in sequential create speed of small files. Don't include the log buffers in this classification - leave them as sync types so they are issued immediately.

* | re-export alloc_file()Roland Dreier2009-12-161-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 3d1e4631 ("get rid of init_file()") removed the export of alloc_file() -- possibly inadvertently, since that commit mainly consisted of deleting the lines between the end of alloc_file() and the start of the code in init_file(). There is in fact one modular use of alloc_file() in the tree, in drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c, so re-add the export to fix: ERROR: "alloc_file" [drivers/infiniband/core/ib_uverbs.ko] undefined! when CONFIG_INFINIBAND_USER_ACCESS=m.

This patch adds a series of workarounds to allow the use of the second memory region (MEM2) as RAM by the kernel. Basically, a single range of memory from the beginning of MEM1 to the end of MEM2 is reported to the kernel, and a memory reservation is created for the hole between MEM1 and MEM2. With this patch the system is able to use all the available RAM and not just ~27% of it. This will no longer be needed when proper discontig memory support for 32-bit PowerPC is added to the kernel.

It doesn't kill anything, just tries to invalidate and if that doesn't work migrate the page away. This is useful for predictive failure analysis, where a page has a high rate of corrected errors, but hasn't gone bad yet. Instead it can be offlined early and avoided. The offlining is controlled from sysfs, including a new generic entry point for hard page offlining for symmetry too. We use the page isolate facility to prevent re-allocation race. Normally this is only used by memory hotplug. To avoid races with memory allocation I am using lock_system_sleep(). This avoids the situation where memory hotplug is about to isolate a page range and then hwpoison undoes that work. This is a big hammer currently, but the simplest solution currently. When the page is not free or LRU we try to free pages from slab and other caches. The slab freeing is currently quite dumb and does not try to focus on the specific slab cache which might own the page. This could be potentially improved later. Thanks to Fengguang Wu and Haicheng Li for some fixes. [Added fix from Andrew Morton to adapt to new migrate_pages prototype] Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

Then handle the case of the page becoming free after drain everything. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

| * | | | HWPOISON: Use get_user_page_fast in hwpoison madviseAndi Kleen2009-12-161-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous version didn't take the mmap_sem before calling gup(), which is racy. Use get_user_pages_fast() instead which doesn't need any locks. This is also faster of course, but then it doesn't really matter because this is just a testing path. Based on report from Nick Piggin.

| * | | | HWPOISON: add an interface to switch off/on all the page filtersHaicheng Li2009-12-163-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In some use cases, user doesn't need extra filtering. E.g. user program can inject errors through madvise syscall to its own pages, however it might not know what the page state exactly is or which inode the page belongs to. So introduce an one-off interface "corrupt-filter-enable". Echo 0 to switch off page filters, and echo 1 to switch on the filters.

(But it's OK to mis-hwpoison free/unowned pages as well as shared clean pages. Mis-hwpoison of shared dirty pages will kill all tasks, so the test suite will target all or non of such tasks in the first place.) The memory cgroup serves this purpose well. We can put the target processes under the control of a memory cgroup, and tell the hwpoison injection code to only kill pages associated with some active memory cgroup. The prerequisite for doing hwpoison stress tests with mem_cgroup is, the mem_cgroup code tracks task pages _accurately_ (unless page is locked). Which we believe is/should be true. The benefits are simplification of hwpoison injector code. Also the mem_cgroup code will automatically be tested by hwpoison test cases. The alternative interfaces pin-pfn/unpin-pfn can also delegate the (process and page flags) filtering functions reliably to user space. However prototype implementation shows that this scheme adds more complexity than we wanted. Example test case: mkdir /cgroup/hwpoison usemem -m 100 -s 1000 & echo `jobs -p` > /cgroup/hwpoison/tasks memcg_ino=$(ls -id /cgroup/hwpoison | cut -f1 -d' ') echo $memcg_ino > /debug/hwpoison/corrupt-filter-memcg page-types -p `pidof init` --hwpoison # shall do nothing page-types -p `pidof usemem` --hwpoison # poison its pages [AK: Fix documentation] [Add fix for problem noticed by Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com>; dentry in the css could be NULL] CC: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> CC: Hugh Dickins <hugh.dickins@tiscali.co.uk> CC: Daisuke Nishimura <nishimura@mxp.nes.nec.co.jp> CC: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com> CC: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> CC: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> CC: Paul Menage <menage@google.com> CC: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> CC: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Signed-off-by: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>
