Fix Intel IOMMU write-buffer flushing
This is the cause of the DMA faults and disk corruption that people have
been seeing. Some chipsets neglect to report the RWBF "capability" --
the flag which says that we need to flush the chipset write-buffer when

ext4: Implement range_cyclic in ext4_da_writepages instead of write_cache_pages
With delayed allocation we lock the page in write_cache_pages() and
try to build an in memory extent of contiguous blocks. This is needed
so that we can get large contiguous blocks request. If range_cyclic
mode is enabled, write_cache_pages() will loop back to the 0 index if
no I/O has been done yet, and try to start writing from the beginning
of the range. That causes an attempt to take the page lock of lower
index page while holding the page lock of higher index page, which can
cause a dead lock with another writeback thread.
The solution is to implement the range_cyclic behavior in
ext4_da_writepages() instead.
When creating a new ext4_prealloc_space structure, we have to
initialize its list_head pointers before we add them to any prealloc
lists. Otherwise, with list debug enabled, we will get list
corruption warnings.

Solve both these problems by switching to in_interrupt(). Now, if someone

Fix page writeback thinko, causing Berkeley DB slowdown
A bug was introduced into write_cache_pages cyclic writeout by commit 31a12666d8f0c22235297e1c1575f82061480029 ("mm: write_cache_pages cyclic
fix"). The intention (and comments) is that we should cycle back and
look for more dirty pages at the beginning of the file if there is no
more work to be done.
But the !done condition was dropped from the test. This means that any
time the page writeout loop breaks (eg. due to nr_to_write == 0), we
will set index to 0, then goto again. This will set done_index to
index, then find done is set, so will proceed to the end of the
function. When updating mapping->writeback_index for cyclic writeout,
we now use done_index == 0, so we're always cycling back to 0.
This seemed to be causing random mmap writes (slapadd and iozone) to
start writing more pages from the LRU and writeout would slowdown, and
caused bugzilla entry

This can also occur when an nbd device loses its nbd-client/server
connection. Although we clear the queue of any outstanding I/Os after the
client/server connection fails, any additional I/Os that get queued later
will hang.
This bug may also be the problem reported in this bug report:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12277
Testing would need to be performed to determine if the two issues are the
same.
This problem was introduced by the new request handling thread code ("NBD:
allow nbd to be used locally", 3/2008), which entered into mainline around
2.6.25.
The fix, which is fairly simple, is to restore the check for lo->sock
being NULL in do_nbd_request. This causes I/O to an uninitialized nbd to
immediately fail with an I/O error, as it did prior to the introduction of
this bug.

mm: rearrange exit_mmap() to unlock before arch_exit_mmap
Christophe Saout reported [in precursor to:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123209902707347&w=4]:
> Note that I also some a different issue with CONFIG_UNEVICTABLE_LRU.
> Seems like Xen tears down current->mm early on process termination, so
> that __get_user_pages in exit_mmap causes nasty messages when the
> process had any mlocked pages. (in fact, it somehow manages to get into
> the swapping code and produces a null pointer dereference trying to get
> a swap token)
Jeremy explained:
Yes. In the normal case under Xen, an in-use pagetable is "pinned",
meaning that it is RO to the kernel, and all updates must go via hypercall
(or writes are trapped and emulated, which is much the same thing). An
unpinned pagetable is not currently in use by any process, and can be
directly accessed as normal RW pages.
As an optimisation at process exit time, we unpin the pagetable as early
as possible (switching the process to init_mm), so that all the normal
pagetable teardown can happen with direct memory accesses.
This happens in exit_mmap() -> arch_exit_mmap(). The munlocking happens
a few lines below. The obvious thing to do would be to move
arch_exit_mmap() to below the munlock code, but I think we'd want to
call it even if mm->mmap is NULL, just to be on the safe side.
Thus, this patch:
exit_mmap() needs to unlock any locked vmas before calling arch_exit_mmap,
as the latter may switch the current mm to init_mm, which would cause the
former to fail.

syscall define: fix uml compile bug
With the new system call defines we get this on uml:
arch/um/sys-i386/built-in.o: In function `sys_call_table':
(.rodata+0x308): undefined reference to `sys_sigprocmask'
Reason for this is that uml passes the preprocessor option
-Dsigprocmask=kernel_sigprocmask to gcc when compiling the kernel.
This causes SYSCALL_DEFINE3(sigprocmask, ...) to be expanded to
SYSCALL_DEFINEx(3, kernel_sigprocmask, ...) and finally to a system
call named sys_kernel_sigprocmask. However sys_sigprocmask is missing
because of this.
To avoid macro expansion for the system call name just concatenate the
name at first define instead of carrying it through severel levels.
This was pointed out by Al Viro.

ext2/xip: refuse to change xip flag during remount with busy inodes
For a reason that I was unable to understand in three months of debugging,
mount ext2 -o remount stopped working properly when remounting from
regular operation to xip, or the other way around. According to a git
bisect search, the problem was introduced with the VM_MIXEDMAP/PTE_SPECIAL
rework in the vm:
In the failing scenario, the filesystem is mounted read only via root=
kernel parameter on s390x. During remount (in rc.sysinit), the inodes of
the bash binary and its libraries are busy and cannot be invalidated (the
bash which is running rc.sysinit resides on subject filesystem).
Afterwards, another bash process (running ifup-eth) recurses into a
subshell, runs dup_mm (via fork). Some of the mappings in this bash
process were created from inodes that could not be invalidated during
remount.
Both parent and child process crash some time later due to inconsistencies
in their address spaces. The issue seems to be timing sensitive, various
attempts to recreate it have failed.
This patch refuses to change the xip flag during remount in case some
inodes cannot be invalidated. This patch keeps users from running into
that issue.

cgroups: fix lockdep subclasses overflow

BUG: MAX_LOCKDEP_SUBCLASSES too low!
turning off the locking correctness validator.
It's caused by the cgroup hierarchy lock:
for (i = 0; i < CGROUP_SUBSYS_COUNT; i++) {
struct cgroup_subsys *ss = subsys[i];
if (ss->root == root)
mutex_lock_nested(&ss->hierarchy_mutex, i);

MAX_LOCKDEP_SUBCLASSES is 8.

mm: fix mlocked page counter mismatch
When I tested following program, I found that the mlocked counter
is strange. It cannot free some mlocked pages.
It is because try_to_unmap_file() doesn't check real
page mappings in vmas.
That is because the goal of an address_space for a file is to find all
processes into which the file's specific interval is mapped. It is
related to the file's interval, not to pages.
Even if the page isn't really mapped by the vma, it returns SWAP_MLOCK
since the vma has VM_LOCKED, then calls try_to_mlock_page. After this the
mlocked counter is increased again.
COWed anon page in a file-backed vma could be a such case. This patch
resolves it.
Since journal_start_commit() is now fixed to return 1 when we started a
transaction commit, there's some transaction waiting to be committed or
there's a transaction already committing, we don't need to call
ext3_force_commit() in ext3_sync_fs(). Furthermore ext3_force_commit()
can unnecessarily create sync transaction which is expensive so it's
worthwhile to remove it when we can.
