Running sg_luns on s390x with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC enabled fails
with EFAULT from the SG_IO ioctl. The EFAULT is the result from
copy_to_user failing in this call chain:
The sg driver calls sg_remove_scat to free the memory pages before
calling blk_rq_unmap_user that tries to copy the data back to
userspace. Change the order to first call blk_rq_unmap_user before
freeing the pages in sg_remove_scat.

Usbnet framework assumes USB hardware doesn't handle zero length
packets, but SMSC LAN95xx requires these to be sent for correct
operation.
This patch fixes an easily reproducible tx lockup when sending a frame
that results in exactly 512 bytes in a USB transmission (e.g. a UDP
frame with 458 data bytes, due to IP headers and our USB headers). It
adds an extra flag to usbnet for the hardware driver to indicate that
it can handle and requires the zero length packets.

"..., when one process calls sendmsg once to send 43804 bytes of
data and one file descriptor, and another process then calls recvmsg
three times to receive the 16032+16032+11740 bytes, each of those
recvmsg calls returns the file descriptor in the ancillary data. I
confirmed this with strace. The behaviour differs from Linux
2.6.26, where reportedly only one of those recvmsg calls (I think
the first one) returned the file descriptor."
This bug was introduced by a patch from me titled "net: unix: fix inflight
counting bug in garbage collector", commit 6209344f5.
And the reason is, quoting Kalle:
"Before your patch, unix_attach_fds() would set scm->fp = NULL, so
that if the loop in unix_stream_sendmsg() ran multiple iterations,
it could not call unix_attach_fds() again. But now,
unix_attach_fds() leaves scm->fp unchanged, and I think this causes
it to be called multiple times and duplicate the same file
descriptors to each struct sk_buff."
Fix this by introducing a flag that is cleared at the start and set
when the fds attached to the first buffer. The resulting code should
work equivalently to the one on 2.6.26.

The message "ACPI: Device needs an ACPI driver" is misleading. The
device _may_ need an ACPI driver, if the BIOS implemented a custom
API for the device in question (which, AFAIK, can't be checked.) If
not, then either a generic ACPI driver may be used (for example
"thermal"), or nothing can be done (other than a white list).
I propose to reword the message to:
ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you should use
it instead of the native driver
which I think is more correct. Comments and suggestions welcome.
I also added a message warning about possible problems and system

When creating a new file, ima_path_check() assumed the new file
was being opened for write. Call ima_path_check() with the
appropriate acc_mode so that the read/write counters are
incremented correctly.
The problem was that on suspend, the PIT is removed as a clocksource,
and was using the mult value essentially as a is_enabled() flag. The
mult adjustments done in the commit above caused that usage to break,
causing bad list manipulation and the oops.
Further, on resume, the PIT clocksource is never restored, causing the
system to run in a degraded mode with jiffies as the clocksource.
This issue has since been resolved in 2.6.32-rc by commit 8cab02dc3c58a12235c6d463ce684dded9696848 which removes the clocksource
disabling on suspend. Testing shows no issues there.
So the following patch rectifies the situation for 2.6.31 users of the
PIT clocksource that use suspend and resume (which is probably not that
many).
Many thanks to Ondrej for helping narrow down what was happening, what
caused it, and verifying the fix.
---------------
Avoid using the unprotected clocksource.mult value as an "is_registered"
flag, instead us an explicit flag variable. This avoids possible list
corruption if the clocksource is double-unregistered.
Also re-register the PIT clocksource on resume so folks don't have to
use jiffies after suspend.

After commit 355cfa73 ("mm: modify swap_map and add SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag"),
read_swap_cache_async() will busy-wait while a entry doesn't exist in swap
cache but it has SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag.
Such entries can exist on add/delete path of swap cache. On add path,
add_to_swap_cache() is called soon after SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag is set, and
on delete path, swapcache_free() will be called (SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag is
cleared) soon after __delete_from_swap_cache() is called. So, the
busy-wait works well in most cases.
But this mechanism can cause soft lockup if add_to_swap_cache() sleeps and
read_swap_cache_async() tries to swap-in the same entry on the same cpu.
This patch calls radix_tree_preload() before swapcache_prepare() and
divides add_to_swap_cache() into two part: radix_tree_preload() part and
radix_tree_insert() part(define it as __add_to_swap_cache()).
Which is why I have always preferred sizeof(struct foo) over
sizeof(var).

The "VIA DXS" controls are actually volume controls that apply to the
four PCM substreams, so we better indicate this connection by moving the
controls to the PCM interface.
Commit b452e08e73c0e3dbb0be82130217be4b7084299e in 2.6.30 broke the
restoring of these volumes by "alsactl restore" that most distributions
use; the renaming in this patch cures that regression by preventing
alsactl from applying the old, wrong volume levels to the new controls.

While trying to work around spurious detection retries for
non-existent devices on slave links, commit 816ab89782ac139a8b65147cca990822bb7e8675 incorrectly added link
offline check logic before ata_eh_thaw() was called. This means that
if an occupied link goes down briefly at the time that offline check
was performed, device class will be cleared to ATA_DEV_NONE and libata
wouldn't retry thus failing detection of the device.
The offline check should be done after the port is thawed together
with online check so that such link glitches can be detected by the
interrupt handler and handled properly.

A couple of people have hit the WARN_ON() in drivers/char/tty_io.c,
tty_open() that is unhappy about seeing the tty line discipline go away
during the tty hangup. See for example
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14255
and the reason is that we do the tty_ldisc_halt() outside the
ldisc_mutex in order to be able to flush the scheduled work without a
deadlock with vhangup_work.
However, it turns out that we can solve this particular case by
- using "cancel_delayed_work_sync()" in tty_ldisc_halt(), which waits
for just the particular work, rather than synchronizing with any
random outstanding pending work.
This won't deadlock, since the buf.work we synchronize with doesn't
care about the ldisc_mutex, it just flushes the tty ldisc buffers.
- realize that for this particular case, we don't need to wait for any
hangup work, because we are inside the hangup codepaths ourselves.
so as a result we can just drop the flush_scheduled_work() entirely, and
then move the tty_ldisc_halt() call to inside the mutex. That way we
never expose the partially torn down ldisc state to tty_open(), and hold
the ldisc_mutex over the whole sequence.
Just like ip_fast_csum, the assembly snippet in csum_ipv6_magic needs a
memory clobber, as it is only passed the address of the buffer, not a
memory reference to the buffer itself.
This caused failures in Hurd's pfinetv4 when we tried to compile it with
gcc-4.3 (bogus checksums).

Fix MAP_PRIVATE mmap() of files and devices where the data in the backing store
might be mapped directly. Use the BDI_CAP_MAP_DIRECT capability flag to govern
whether or not we should be trying to map a file directly. This can be used to
determine whether or not a region has been filled in at the point where we call
do_mmap_shared() or do_mmap_private().
The BDI_CAP_MAP_DIRECT capability flag is cleared by validate_mmap_request() if

f_op->get_unmapped_area() fails.

We noticed very erratic behavior [throughput] with the AIM7 shared
workload running on recent distro [SLES11] and mainline kernels on an
8-socket, 32-core, 256GB x86_64 platform. On the SLES11 kernel
[2.6.27.19+] with Barcelona processors, as we increased the load [10s of
thousands of tasks], the throughput would vary between two "plateaus"--one
at ~65K jobs per minute and one at ~130K jpm. The simple patch below
causes the results to smooth out at the ~130k plateau.
But wait, there's more:
We do not see this behavior on smaller platforms--e.g., 4 socket/8 core.
This could be the result of the larger number of cpus on the larger
platform--a scalability issue--or it could be the result of the larger
number of interconnect "hops" between some nodes in this platform and how
the tasks for a given load end up distributed over the nodes' cpus and
memories--a stochastic NUMA effect.
The variability in the results are less pronounced [on the same platform]
with Shanghai processors and with mainline kernels. With 31-rc6 on
Shanghai processors and 288 file systems on 288 fibre attached storage
volumes, the curves [jpm vs load] are both quite flat with the patched
kernel consistently producing ~3.9% better throughput [~80K jpm vs ~77K
jpm] than the unpatched kernel.
Profiling indicated that the "slow" runs were incurring high[er]
contention on an anon_vma lock in vma_adjust(), apparently called from the
sbrk() system call.
The patch:
A comment in mm/mmap.c:vma_adjust() suggests that we don't really need the
anon_vma lock when we're only adjusting the end of a vma, as is the case
for brk(). The comment questions whether it's worth while to optimize for
this case. Apparently, on the newer, larger x86_64 platforms, with
interesting NUMA topologies, it is worth while--especially considering
that the patch [if correct!] is quite simple.
We can detect this condition--no overlap with next vma--by noting a NULL
"importer". The anon_vma pointer will also be NULL in this case, so
simply avoid loading vma->anon_vma to avoid the lock.
However, we DO need to take the anon_vma lock when we're inserting a vma
['insert' non-NULL] even when we have no overlap [NULL "importer"], so we
need to check for 'insert', as well. And Hugh points out that we should
also take it when adjusting vm_start (so that rmap.c can rely upon
vma_address() while it holds the anon_vma lock).
akpm: Zhang Yanmin reprts a 150% throughput improvement with aim7, so it
might be -stable material even though thiss isn't a regression: "this
issue is not clear on dual socket Nehalem machine (2*4*2 cpu), but is
severe on large machine (4*8*2 cpu)"

do_anonymous_page() has been wrong to dirty the pte regardless.
If it's not going to mark the pte writable, then it won't help
to mark it dirty here, and clogs up memory with pages which will
need swap instead of being thrown away. Especially wrong if no
overcommit is chosen, and this vma is not yet VM_ACCOUNTed -
we could exceed the limit and OOM despite no overcommit.
Hiroaki Wakabayashi points out that when mlock() has been interrupted
by SIGKILL, the subsequent munlock() takes unnecessarily long because
its use of __get_user_pages() insists on faulting in all the pages
which mlock() never reached.
It's worse than slowness if mlock() is terminated by Out Of Memory kill:
the munlock_vma_pages_all() in exit_mmap() insists on faulting in all the
pages which mlock() could not find memory for; so innocent bystanders are
killed too, and perhaps the system hangs.
__get_user_pages() does a lot that's silly for munlock(): so remove the
munlock option from __mlock_vma_pages_range(), and use a simple loop of
follow_page()s in munlock_vma_pages_range() instead; ignoring absent
pages, and not marking present pages as accessed or dirty.
(Change munlock() to only go so far as mlock() reached? That does not
work out, given the convention that mlock() claims complete success even
when it has to give up early - in part so that an underlying file can be
extended later, and those pages locked which earlier would give SIGBUS.)
After anti-fragmentation was merged, a bug was reported whereby devices
that depended on high-order atomic allocations were failing. The solution
was to preserve a property in the buddy allocator which tended to keep the
minimum number of free pages in the zone at the lower physical addresses
and contiguous. To preserve this property, MIGRATE_RESERVE was introduced
and a number of pageblocks at the start of a zone would be marked
"reserve", the number of which depended on min_free_kbytes.
Anti-fragmentation works by avoiding the mixing of page migratetypes
within the same pageblock. One way of helping this is to increase
min_free_kbytes because it becomes less like that it will be necessary to
place pages of of MIGRATE_RESERVE is unbounded, the free memory is kept
there in large contiguous blocks instead of helping anti-fragmentation as
much as it should. With the page-allocator tracepoint patches applied, it
was found during anti-fragmentation tests that the number of
fragmentation-related events were far higher than expected even with
min_free_kbytes at higher values.
This patch limits the number of MIGRATE_RESERVE blocks that exist per zone
to two. For example, with a sufficient min_free_kbytes, 4MB of memory
will be kept aside on an x86-64 and remain more or less free and
contiguous for the systems uptime. This should be sufficient for devices
depending on high-order atomic allocations while helping fragmentation
control when min_free_kbytes is tuned appropriately. As side-effect of
this patch is that the reserve variable is converted to int as unsigned
long was the wrong type to use when ensuring that only the required number
of reserve blocks are created.
With the patches applied, fragmentation-related events as measured by the
page allocator tracepoints were significantly reduced when running some
fragmentation stress-tests on systems with min_free_kbytes tuned to a
value appropriate for hugepage allocations at runtime. On x86, the events
recorded were reduced by 99.8%, on x86-64 by 99.72% and on ppc64 by
99.83%.

hugetlb: restore interleaving of bootmem huge pages (2.6.31)
Not upstream as it is fixed differently in .32
I noticed that alloc_bootmem_huge_page() will only advance to the next
node on failure to allocate a huge page. I asked about this on linux-mm
and linux-numa, cc'ing the usual huge page suspects. Mel Gorman
responded:
I strongly suspect that the same node being used until allocation
failure instead of round-robin is an oversight and not deliberate
at all. It appears to be a side-effect of a fix made way back in
commit 63b4613c3f0d4b724ba259dc6c201bb68b884e1a ["hugetlb: fix
hugepage allocation with memoryless nodes"]. Prior to that patch
it looked like allocations would always round-robin even when
allocation was successful.
Andy Whitcroft countered that the existing behavior looked like Andi
Kleen's original implementation and suggested that we ask him. We did and
Andy replied that his intention was to interleave the allocations. So,
...
This patch moves the advance of the hstate next node from which to
allocate up before the test for success of the attempted allocation. This
will unconditionally advance the next node from which to alloc,
interleaving successful allocations over the nodes with sufficient
contiguous memory, and skipping over nodes that fail the huge page
allocation attempt.
Note that alloc_bootmem_huge_page() will only be called for huge pages of
order > MAX_ORDER.

Interrupt transfers are submitted to the xHCI hardware using the same TRB
type as bulk transfers. Re-use the bulk transfer enqueueing code to
enqueue interrupt transfers.
Interrupt transfers are a bit different than bulk transfers. When the
interrupt endpoint is to be serviced, the xHC will consume (at most) one
TD. A TD (comprised of sg list entries) can take several service
intervals to transmit. The important thing for device drivers to note is
that if they use the scatter gather interface to submit interrupt
requests, they will not get data sent from two different scatter gather
lists in the same service interval.
For now, the xHCI driver will use the service interval from the endpoint's
descriptor (bInterval). Drivers will need a hook to poll at a more
frequent interval. Set urb->interval to the interval that the xHCI
hardware will use.

The 0.95 xHCI spec says that non-control endpoints will be halted if a
babble is detected on a transfer. The 0.96 xHCI spec says all types of
endpoints will be halted when a babble is detected. Some hardware that
claims to be 0.95 compliant halts the control endpoint anyway.
When a babble is detected on a control endpoint, check the hardware's
output endpoint context to see if the endpoint is marked as halted. If
the control endpoint is halted, a reset endpoint command must be issued
and the transfer ring dequeue pointer needs to be moved past the stopped
transfer. Basically, we treat it as if the control endpoint had stalled.
Handle bulk babbling endpoints as if we got a completion event with a

When a control endpoint stalls, the next control transfer will clear the
stall. The USB core doesn't call down to the host controller driver's
endpoint_reset() method when control endpoints stall, so the xHCI driver
has to do all its stall handling for internal state in its interrupt handler.
When the host stalls on a control endpoint, it may stop on the data phase
or status phase of the control transfer. Like other stalled endpoints,
the xHCI driver needs to queue a Reset Endpoint command and move the
hardware's control endpoint ring dequeue pointer past the failed control
transfer (with a Set TR Dequeue Pointer or a Configure Endpoint command).
Since the USB core doesn't call usb_hcd_reset_endpoint() for control
endpoints, we need to do this in interrupt context when we get notified of
the stalled transfer. URBs may be queued to the hardware before these two
commands complete. The endpoint queue will be restarted once both
commands complete.

Full speed devices have varying max packet sizes (8, 16, 32, or 64) for
endpoint 0. The xHCI hardware needs to know the real max packet size
that the USB core discovers after it fetches the first 8 bytes of the
device descriptor.
In order to fix this without adding a new hook to host controller drivers,
the xHCI driver looks for an updated max packet size for control
endpoints. If it finds an updated size, it issues an evaluate context
command and waits for that command to finish. This should only happen in
the initialization and device descriptor fetching steps in the khubd
thread, so blocking should be fine.

Set the max packet size for the default control endpoint on high speed

of 64 bytes. There's no use setting it to eight for the initial 8 byte
descriptor fetch and then issuing (and waiting for) an evaluate context
command to update it to 64 bytes for the subsequent control transfers.
The USB core guesses that the max packet size on a full speed control
endpoint is 64 bytes, and then updates it after the first 8-byte
descriptor fetch. Change the initial setup for the xHCI internal
representation of the full speed device to have a 64 byte max packet size.

Different sections of the xHCI 0.95 specification had opposing
requirements for the chain bit in a link transaction request buffer (TRB).
The chain bit is used to designate that adjacent TRBs are all part of the
same scatter gather list that should be sent to the device. Link TRBs can
be in the middle, or at the beginning or end of these chained TRBs.
Sections 4.11.5.1 and 6.4.4.1 both stated the link TRB "shall have the
chain bit set to 1", meaning it is always chained to the next TRB.
However, section 4.6.9 on the stop endpoint command has specific cases for
what the hardware must do for a link TRB with the chain bit set to 0. The
0.96 specification errata later cleared up this issue by fixing the
4.11.5.1 and 6.4.4.1 sections to state that a link TRB can have the chain
bit set to 1 or 0.
The problem is that the xHCI cancellation code depends on the chain bit of
the link TRB being cleared when it's at the end of a TD, and some 0.95
xHCI hardware simply stops processing the ring when it encounters a link
TRB with the chain bit cleared.
Allow users who are testing 0.95 xHCI prototypes to set a module parameter
(link_quirk) to turn on this link TRB work around. Cancellation may not
work if the ring is stopped exactly on a link TRB with chain bit set, but
cancellation should be a relatively uncommon case.

only once, when it is created. (Not to mention that these actions are
reversed when the tty is released, not when it is closed.) Finally,
it is at install time that the TTY core takes its own reference to the
usb_serial module, so it is only fitting that we should act the same

This patch (as1286) changes usb_serial_get_by_index(). Now the

it has then the return value will be NULL. If the device hasn't been
disconnected then the routine will return with serial->disc_mutex
held, so that the caller can use the structure without fear of racing
against driver unloads.
This permits the scope of table_mutex in destroy_serial() to be
reduced. Instead of protecting the entire function, it suffices to
protect the part that actually uses serial_table[], i.e., the call to
return_serial(). There's no longer any danger of the refcount being
incremented after it reaches 0 (which was the reason for having the
large scope previously), because it can't reach 0 until the serial
device has been disconnected.

This patch (as1284) changes the referencing of the usb_serial and
usb_serial_port structures in usb-serial.c. It's not feasible to make
the port structures keep a reference to the serial structure, because
the ports need to remain in existence when serial is released -- quite
a few of the drivers expect this. Consequently taking a reference
to the port when the device file is open is insufficient; such a
reference would not pin serial.
To fix this, we now take a reference to serial when the device file is
opened. The final put_device() for the ports occurs in
destroy_serial(), so that the ports will last as long as they are
needed.
The patch initializes all the port devices, including those in the
unused "fake" ports. This makes the code more uniform because they
can all be released in the same way. The error handling code in
usb_serial_probe() is much simplified by this approach; instead of
freeing everything by hand we can use a single usb_serial_put() call.
Also simplified is the port-release mechanism. Instead of being two
separate routines, port_release() and port_free() can be combined into
one.

This patch (as1271) affects when new devices get linked into their
bus's list of devices. Currently this happens after probing, and it
doesn't happen at all if probing fails. Clearly this is wrong,
because at that point quite a few symbolic links have already been
created in sysfs. We are committed to adding the device, so it should
be linked into the bus's list regardless.
In addition, this needs to happen before the uevent announcing the new
device gets issued. Otherwise user programs might try to access the
device before it has been added to the bus.
To fix both these problems, the patch moves the call to
klist_add_tail() forward from bus_attach_device() to bus_add_device().
