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
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12604
about Berkeley DB slowing down dramatically.

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.

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.

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.

jbd: fix return value of journal_start_commit()
journal_start_commit() returns 1 if either a transaction is committing or
the function has queued a transaction commit. But it returns 0 if we
raced with somebody queueing the transaction commit as well. This
resulted in ext3_sync_fs() not functioning correctly (description from
Arthur Jones): In the case of a data=ordered umount with pending long
symlinks which are delayed due to a long list of other I/O on the backing
block device, this causes the buffer associated with the long symlinks to
not be moved to the inode dirty list in the second phase of fsync_super.
Then, before they can be dirtied again, kjournald exits, seeing the UMOUNT
flag and the dirty pages are never written to the backing block device,
causing long symlink corruption and exposing new or previously freed block
data to userspace.
This can be reproduced with a script created by Eric Sandeen
<sandeen@redhat.com>:
#!/bin/bash
umount /mnt/test2
mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/test2
rm -f /mnt/test2/*
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test2/bigfile bs=1M count=512
touch /mnt/test2/thisisveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryverylongfilename

/mnt/test2/link
umount /mnt/test2
mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/test2

This patch fixes journal_start_commit() to always return 1 when there's
a transaction committing or queued for commit.

Do not account for hugetlbfs quota at mmap() time if mapping [SHM|MAP]_NORESERVE
Commit 5a6fe125950676015f5108fb71b2a67441755003 brought hugetlbfs more
in line with the core VM by obeying VM_NORESERVE and not reserving
hugepages for both shared and private mappings when [SHM|MAP]_NORESERVE
are specified. However, it is still taking filesystem quota
unconditionally.
At fault time, if there are no reserves and attempt is made to allocate
the page and account for filesystem quota. If either fail, the fault
fails. The impact is that quota is getting accounted for twice. This
patch partially reverts 5a6fe125950676015f5108fb71b2a67441755003. To

iwlwifi: fix suspend/resume and its usage of pci saved state
Here we do two things:
First, revert "iwlwifi: save PCI state before suspend, restore after
resume". That misguided patch led to being unable to use iwlwifi
devices after resume.
Next, indicate to PCI driver that the saved PCI state is valid during suspend.
We restore PCI state and enable the device when network interface is created,
similarly PCI state is saved and the device is disabled when network interface
is removed. Thus, when .suspend is called the PCI state is saved and device
is disabled. This is the case even if an interface is never created as PCI
state is saved and device disabled during .probe.
PCI driver assumes PCI state is saved in .suspend. Saving the state at this
time will save state of disabled device and thus cause problems during
resume (resuming a disabled device). We thus indicate directly to PCI
driver that current PCI saved state is valid.

sunhme: Fix Quattro HME irq registration on proble failures
Currently, the sunhme driver installs SBus Quattro interrupt handler
when at least one HME card was initialized correctly and at least one
Quattro card is present. This breaks when a Quattro card fails
initialization for whatever reason - IRQ is registered and OOPS happens
when it fires.
The solution, as suggested by David Miller, was to keep track which
cards of the Quattro bundles have been initialized, and request/free the
Quattro IRQ only when all four devices have been successfully
initialized.
The patch only touches SBus initialization - PCI init already resets the
card pointer to NULL on init failure.
The patch has been tested on Sun E3500 with SBus and PCI single HME
cards and one PCI Quattro HME card in a situation where any PCI card
failed init when the SBus routines tried to init them by mistake.
Additionally it replaces Quattro request_irq panic with error return -
if this card fails to work, at least let the others work.
Tested on E450 with PCI HME and PCI Quad HME.
