Add the ability to 'resize' the loop device on the fly.
One practical application is a loop file with XFS filesystem, already

shmem: writepage directly to swap
Synopsis: if shmem_writepage calls swap_writepage directly, most shmem
swap loads benefit, and a catastrophic interaction between SLUB and some
flash storage is avoided.
shmem_writepage() has always been peculiar in making no attempt to write:
it has just transferred a shmem page from file cache to swap cache, then
let that page make its way around the LRU again before being written and
freed.
The idea was that people use tmpfs because they want those pages to stay
in RAM; so although we give it an overflow to swap, we should resist
writing too soon, giving those pages a second chance before they can be
reclaimed.
That was always questionable, and I've toyed with this patch for years;
but never had a clear justification to depart from the original design.
It became more questionable in 2.6.28, when the split LRU patches classed
shmem and tmpfs pages as SwapBacked rather than as file_cache: that in
itself gives them more resistance to reclaim than normal file pages. I
prepared this patch for 2.6.29, but the merge window arrived before I'd
completed gathering statistics to justify sending it in.
Then while comparing SLQB against SLUB, running SLUB on a laptop I'd
habitually used with SLAB, I found SLUB to run my tmpfs kbuild swapping
tests five times slower than SLAB or SLQB - other machines slower too, but
nowhere near so bad. Simpler "cp -a" swapping tests showed the same.
slub_max_order=0 brings sanity to all, but heavy swapping is too far from
normal to justify such a tuning. The crucial factor on that laptop turns
out to be that I'm using an SD card for swap. What happens is this:
By default, SLUB uses order-2 pages for shmem_inode_cache (and many other
fs inodes), so creating tmpfs files under memory pressure brings lumpy
reclaim into play. One subpage of the order is chosen from the bottom of
the LRU as usual, then the other three picked out from their random
positions on the LRUs.
In a tmpfs load, many of these pages will be ones which already passed
through shmem_writepage, so already have swap allocated. And though their
offsets on swap were probably allocated sequentially, now that the pages
are picked off at random, their swap offsets are scattered.
But the flash storage on the SD card is very sensitive to having its
writes merged: once swap is written at scattered offsets, performance
falls apart. Rotating disk seeks increase too, but less disastrously.
So: stop giving shmem/tmpfs pages a second pass around the LRU, write them
out to swap as soon as their swap has been allocated.
It's surely possible to devise an artificial load which runs faster the
old way, one whose sizing is such that the tmpfs pages on their second
pass are the ones that are wanted again, and other pages not.
But I've not yet found such a load: on all machines, under the loads I've
tried, immediate swap_writepage speeds up shmem swapping: especially when
using the SLUB allocator (and more effectively than slub_max_order=0), but
also with the others; and it also reduces the variance between runs. How
much faster varies widely: a factor of five is rare, 5% is common.
One load which might have suffered: imagine a swapping shmem load in a
limited mem_cgroup on a machine with plenty of memory. Before 2.6.29 the
swapcache was not charged, and such a load would have run quickest with
the shmem swapcache never written to swap. But now swapcache is charged,
so even this load benefits from shmem_writepage directly to swap.
Apologies for the #ifndef CONFIG_SWAP swap_writepage() stub in swap.h:
it's silly because that will never get called; but refactoring shmem.c
sensibly according to CONFIG_SWAP will be a separate task.

try_to_free_pages() is used for the direct reclaim of up to
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages when watermarks are low. The caller to
alloc_pages_nodemask() can specify a nodemask of nodes that are allowed to
be used but this is not passed to try_to_free_pages(). This can lead to
unnecessary reclaim of pages that are unusable by the caller and int the
worst case lead to allocation failure as progress was not been make where
it is needed.
This patch passes the nodemask used for alloc_pages_nodemask() to

fs: fix page_mkwrite error cases in core code and btrfs
page_mkwrite is called with neither the page lock nor the ptl held. This
means a page can be concurrently truncated or invalidated out from
underneath it. Callers are supposed to prevent truncate races themselves,
however previously the only thing they can do in case they hit one is to
raise a SIGBUS. A sigbus is wrong for the case that the page has been
invalidated or truncated within i_size (eg. hole punched). Callers may
also have to perform memory allocations in this path, where again, SIGBUS
would be wrong.
The previous patch ("mm: page_mkwrite change prototype to match fault")
made it possible to properly specify errors. Convert the generic buffer.c
code and btrfs to return sane error values (in the case of page removed
from pagecache, VM_FAULT_NOPAGE will cause the fault handler to exit
without doing anything, and the fault will be retried properly).
This fixes core code, and converts btrfs as a template/example. All other
filesystems defining their own page_mkwrite should be fixed in a similar

In almost cases, for_each_zone() is used with populated_zone(). It's
because almost function doesn't need memoryless node information.
Therefore, for_each_populated_zone() can help to make code simplify.
This patch has no functional change.

vmscan: rename sc.may_swap to may_unmap
sc.may_swap does not only influence reclaiming of anon pages but pages
mapped into pagetables in general, which also includes mapped file pages.
In shrink_page_list():
if (!sc->may_swap && page_mapped(page))
goto keep_locked;
For anon pages, this makes sense as they are always mapped and reclaiming
them always requires swapping.
But mapped file pages are skipped here as well and it has nothing to do
with swapping.
The real effect of the knob is whether mapped pages are unmapped and
reclaimed or not. Rename it to `may_unmap' to have its name match its
actual meaning more precisely.

proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::owner
Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.
We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
and ->data.
But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.
->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.
rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.
Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.
So, let's nuke it.
Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

However, ->owner assignments are racy and make it very easy for someone to switch

PCI PM: Make pci_prepare_to_sleep() disable wake-up if needed
If the device is not supposed to wake up the system, ie. when
device_may_wakeup(&dev->dev) returns 'false', pci_prepare_to_sleep()
should pass 'false' to pci_enable_wake() so that it calls the
platform to disable the wake-up capability of the device.

The radeonfb driver needs to program the device's PMCSR directly due
to some quirky hardware it has to handle (see
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12846 for details) and
after doing that it needs to call the platform (usually ACPI) to
finish the power transition of the device. Currently it uses
pci_set_power_state() for this purpose, however making a specific
assumption about the internal behavior of this function, which has
changed recently so that this assumption is no longer satisfied.
For this reason, introduce __pci_complete_power_transition() that may
be called by the radeonfb driver to complete the power transition of
the device. For symmetry, introduce __pci_start_power_transition().

PCI PM: Restore config spaces of all devices during early resume
At present the configuration spaces of PCI devices that have no
drivers or no PM support in the drivers (either legacy or through a
pm object) are not saved during suspend and, consequently, they are
not restored during resume. This generally may lead to the state of
the system being slightly inconsistent after the resume, so it's
better to save and restore the configuration spaces of these devices
as well.

PCI PM: Make pci_set_power_state() handle devices with no PM support
There is a problem with PCI devices without any PM support (either
native or through the platform) that pci_set_power_state() always
returns error code for them, even if they are being put into D0.
However, such devices are always in D0, so pci_set_power_state()
should return success when attempting to put such a device into D0.
It also should update the current_state field for these devices as
appropriate. This modification is necessary so that the standard
configuration registers of these devices are successfully restored by
pci_restore_standard_config() during the "early" phase of resume.
In addition, pci_set_power_state() should check the value of
current_state before calling the platform to change the power state
of the device to avoid doing that unnecessarily.

PCI PM: Put devices into low power states during late suspend (rev. 2)
Once we have allowed timer interrupts to be enabled during the late
phase of suspending devices, we are now able to use the generic
pci_set_power_state() to put PCI devices into low power states at
that time. We can also use some related platform callbacks, like the
ones preparing devices for wake-up, during the late suspend.
Doing this will allow us to avoid the race condition where a device
using shared interrupts is put into a low power state with interrupts
enabled and then an interrupt (for another device) comes in and
confuses its driver. At the same time, devices that don't support
the native PCI PM or that require some additional, platform-specific
operations to be carried out to put them into low power states will
be handled as appropriate.

from receiving interrupts, with the help of the new helper function,
before their "late" suspend callbacks run (and analogously during

In addition, since the device interrups are now disabled before the
CPU has turned all interrupts off and the CPU will ACK the interrupts
setting the IRQ_PENDING bit for them, check in sysdev_suspend() if
any wake-up interrupts are pending and abort suspend if that's the
case.

possible to keep timer interrupts enabled while the "late" suspend and
"early" resume callbacks provided by device drivers are being

"early" resume callbacks to sleep, execute ACPI callbacks etc.
The functions introduced here will be used to rework the handling of
