NFS: read-modify-write page updating
Hi.
I have a proposal for possibly resolving this issue.
I believe that this situation occurs due to the way that the
Linux NFS client handles writes which modify partial pages.
The Linux NFS client handles partial page modifications by
allocating a page from the page cache, copying the data from
the user level into the page, and then keeping track of the
offset and length of the modified portions of the page. The
page is not marked as up to date because there are portions
of the page which do not contain valid file contents.
When a read call comes in for a portion of the page, the
contents of the page must be read in the from the server.
However, since the page may already contain some modified
data, that modified data must be written to the server
before the file contents can be read back in the from server.
And, since the writing and reading can not be done atomically,
the data must be written and committed to stable storage on
the server for safety purposes. This means either a
FILE_SYNC WRITE or a UNSTABLE WRITE followed by a COMMIT.
This has been discussed at length previously.
This algorithm could be described as modify-write-read. It
is most efficient when the application only updates pages
and does not read them.
My proposed solution is to add a heuristic to decide whether
to do this modify-write-read algorithm or switch to a read-
modify-write algorithm when initially allocating the page
in the write system call path. The heuristic uses the modes
that the file was opened with, the offset in the page to
read from, and the size of the region to read.
If the file was opened for reading in addition to writing
and the page would not be filled completely with data from
the user level, then read in the old contents of the page
and mark it as Uptodate before copying in the new data. If
the page would be completely filled with data from the user
level, then there would be no reason to read in the old
contents because they would just be copied over.
This would optimize for applications which randomly access
and update portions of files. The linkage editor for the
C compiler is an example of such a thing.
I tested the attached patch by using rpmbuild to build the
current Fedora rawhide kernel. The kernel without the
patch generated about 269,500 WRITE requests. The modified
kernel containing the patch generated about 261,000 WRITE
requests. Thus, about 8,500 fewer WRITE requests were
generated. I suspect that many of these additional
WRITE requests were probably FILE_SYNC requests to WRITE
a single page, but I didn't test this theory.
The difference between this patch and the previous one was
to remove the unneeded PageDirty() test. I then retested to
ensure that the resulting system continued to behave as
desired.
Thanx...

NFSv4: Add 'server capability' flags for NFSv4 recommended attributes
If the NFSv4 server doesn't support a POSIX attribute, the generic NFS code
needs to know that, so that it don't keep trying to poll for it.
However, by the same count, if the NFSv4 server does support that

USB: EHCI: fix two new bugs related to Clear-TT-Buffer
This patch (as1273) fixes two(!) bugs introduced by the new
Clear-TT-Buffer implementation in ehci-hcd.
It is now possible for an idle QH to have some URBs on its
queue -- this will happen if a Clear-TT-Buffer is pending for
the QH's endpoint. Consequently we should not issue a warning
when someone tries to unlink an URB from an idle QH; instead
we should process the request immediately.
The refcounts for QHs could get messed up, because
submit_async() would increment the refcount when calling
qh_link_async() and qh_link_async() would then refuse to link
the QH into the schedule if a Clear-TT-Buffer was pending.
Instead we should increment the refcount only when the QH
actually is added to the schedule. The current code tries to
be clever by leaving the refcount alone if an unlink is
immediately followed by a relink; the patch changes this to an
unconditional decrement and increment (although they occur in
the opposite order).

execve: must clear current->clear_child_tid
While looking at Jens Rosenboom bug report
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/27/35) about strange sys_futex call done from
a dying "ps" program, we found following problem.
clone() syscall has special support for TID of created threads. This
support includes two features.
One (CLONE_CHILD_SETTID) is to set an integer into user memory with the
TID value.
One (CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID) is to clear this same integer once the created
thread dies.
The integer location is a user provided pointer, provided at clone()
time.
kernel keeps this pointer value into current->clear_child_tid.
At execve() time, we should make sure kernel doesnt keep this user
provided pointer, as full user memory is replaced by a new one.
As glibc fork() actually uses clone() syscall with CLONE_CHILD_SETTID and
CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID set, chances are high that we might corrupt user
memory in forked processes.
Following sequence could happen:
1) bash (or any program) starts a new process, by a fork() call that
glibc maps to a clone( ... CLONE_CHILD_SETTID | CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID
...) syscall
2) When new process starts, its current->clear_child_tid is set to a
location that has a meaning only in bash (or initial program) context
(&THREAD_SELF->tid)
3) This new process does the execve() syscall to start a new program.
current->clear_child_tid is left unchanged (a non NULL value)
4) If this new program creates some threads, and initial thread exits,
kernel will attempt to clear the integer pointed by
current->clear_child_tid from mm_release() :
/*
* We don't check the error code - if userspace has
* not set up a proper pointer then tough luck.
*/
<< here >> put_user(0, tidptr);
sys_futex(tidptr, FUTEX_WAKE, 1, NULL, NULL, 0);
}
5) OR : if new program is not multi-threaded, but spied by /proc/pid
users (ps command for example), mm_users > 1, and the exiting program
could corrupt 4 bytes in a persistent memory area (shm or memory mapped
file)
If current->clear_child_tid points to a writeable portion of memory of the
new program, kernel happily and silently corrupts 4 bytes of memory, with
unexpected effects.
Fix is straightforward and should not break any sane program.

The common way for the VC drivers is to set the screen dimension

dimensions.
fbcon instead would do vc_resize() unconditionally and afterwards set
the dimensions manually (again) for !init - i.e. completely upside
down. The vc_resize() allocated buffer would then get lost by
vc_allocate() allocating a fresh one.
Use vc_resize() only for actual resizing to close the leak.

redundant setting in resize mode.

mm: make set_mempolicy(MPOL_INTERLEAV) N_HIGH_MEMORY aware
At first, init_task's mems_allowed is initialized as this.
init_task->mems_allowed == node_state[N_POSSIBLE]
And cpuset's top_cpuset mask is initialized as this
top_cpuset->mems_allowed = node_state[N_HIGH_MEMORY]
Before 2.6.29:
policy's mems_allowed is initialized as this.
1. update tasks->mems_allowed by its cpuset->mems_allowed.
2. policy->mems_allowed = nodes_and(tasks->mems_allowed, user's mask)
Updating task's mems_allowed in reference to top_cpuset's one.
cpuset's mems_allowed is aware of N_HIGH_MEMORY, always.
In 2.6.30: After commit 58568d2a8215cb6f55caf2332017d7bdff954e1c
("cpuset,mm: update tasks' mems_allowed in time"), policy's mems_allowed
is initialized as this.
Then, policy's mems_allowd can includes a possible node, which has no pgdat.
MPOL's INTERLEAVE just scans nodemask of task->mems_allowd and access this
directly.
NODE_DATA(nid)->zonelist even if NODE_DATA(nid)==NULL
Then, what's we need is making policy->mems_allowed be aware of
N_HIGH_MEMORY. This patch does that. But to do so, extra nodemask will
be on statck. Because I know cpumask has a new interface of
CPUMASK_ALLOC(), I added it to node.
This patch stands on old behavior. But I feel this fix itself is just a
Band-Aid. But to do fundametal fix, we have to take care of memory
hotplug and it takes time. (task->mems_allowd should be N_HIGH_MEMORY, I
think.)
mpol_set_nodemask() should be aware of N_HIGH_MEMORY and policy's nodemask
should be includes only online nodes.
In old behavior, this is guaranteed by frequent reference to cpuset's
code. Now, most of them are removed and mempolicy has to check it by
itself.
To do check, a few nodemask_t will be used for calculating nodemask. But,
size of nodemask_t can be big and it's not good to allocate them on stack.
Now, cpumask_t has CPUMASK_ALLOC/FREE an easy code for get scratch area.
NODEMASK_ALLOC/FREE shoudl be there.

access a bit outside the font memory area. Subtract the shift offset from
the font width will prevent this.

xfs: fix freeing of inodes not yet added to the inode cache
When freeing an inode that lost race getting added to the inode cache we
must not call into ->destroy_inode, because that would delete the inode
that won the race from the inode cache radix tree.
This patch uses splits a new xfs_inode_free helper out of xfs_ireclaim
and uses that plus __destroy_inode to make sure we really only free
the memory allocted for the inode that lost the race, and not mess with
the inode cache state.

When we want to tear down an inode that lost the add to the cache race
in XFS we must not call into ->destroy_inode because that would delete
the inode that won the race from the inode cache radix tree.
This patch provides the __destroy_inode helper needed to fix this,
the actual fix will be in th next patch. As XFS was the only reason
destroy_inode was exported we shift the export to the new __destroy_inode.

Currently inode_init_always calls into ->destroy_inode if the additional
initialization fails. That's not only counter-intuitive because
inode_init_always did not allocate the inode structure, but in case of
XFS it's actively harmful as ->destroy_inode might delete the inode from
a radix-tree that has never been added. This in turn might end up
deleting the inode for the same inum that has been instanciated by
another process and cause lots of cause subtile problems.
Also in the case of re-initializing a reclaimable inode in XFS it would
free an inode we still want to keep alive.

[S390] kernel: Storing machine flags early in lowcore
Currently, the machine_flags are stored late in the startup
initialization which results in failing machine type checks
(e.g. for MACHINE_IS_VM).
To allow these checks, store the machine flags in the lowcore
when the machine type has been detected.

Two defects work together result in KVM device passthrough randomly can't

2. One line added by commit 2c2e2c38("IOMMU Identity Mapping Support")
