vmalloc: show vmalloced areas via /proc/vmallocinfo
Implement a new proc file that allows the display of the currently allocated
vmalloc memory.
It allows to see the users of vmalloc. That is important if vmalloc space is
scarce (i386 for example).
And it's going to be important for the compound page fallback to vmalloc.
Many of the current users can be switched to use compound pages with fallback.
This means that the number of users of vmalloc is reduced and page tables no
longer necessary to access the memory. /proc/vmallocinfo allows to review how
that reduction occurs.
If memory becomes fragmented and larger order allocations are no longer
possible then /proc/vmallocinfo allows to see which compound page allocations
fell back to virtual compound pages. That is important for new users of
virtual compound pages. Such as order 1 stack allocation etc that may
fallback to virtual compound pages in the future.
/proc/vmallocinfo permissions are made readable-only-by-root to avoid possible
information leakage.

mempolicy: fix parsing of tmpfs mpol mount option
Parsing of new mode flags in the tmpfs mpol mount option is slightly broken:
Setting a valid flag works OK:
#mount -o remount,mpol=bind=static:1-2 /dev/shm
#mount
...
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,mpol=bind=static:1-2)
...
However, we can't remove them or change them, once we've
set a valid flag:
#mount -o remount,mpol=bind:1-2 /dev/shm
#mount
...
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,mpol=bind:1-2)
...
It SAYS it removed it, but that's just a copy of the input
string. If we now try to set it to a different flag, we
get:
#mount -o remount,mpol=bind=relative:1-2 /dev/shm
mount: /dev/shm not mounted already, or bad option
And on the console, we see:
tmpfs: Bad value 'bind' for mount option 'mpol'
^ lost remainder of string
Furthermore, bogus flags are accepted with out error.
Granted, they are a no-op:
#mount -o remount,mpol=interleave=foo:0-3 /dev/shm
#mount
...
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,mpol=interleave=foo:0-3)
Again, that's just a copy of the input string shown by the mount command.
This patch fixes the behavior by pre-zeroing the flags so that only one of the
mutually exclusive flags can be set at one time. It also reports an error
when an unrecognized flag is specified.
The check for both flags being set is removed because it can't happen with
this implementation. If we ever want to support multiple non-exclusive flags,
this area will need rework and we will need to check that any mutually
exclusive flags aren't specified.

mempolicy: disallow static or relative flags for local preferred mode
MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES and MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES don't mean anything for
MPOL_PREFERRED policies that were created with an empty nodemask (for purely

a task changes or need to be rebound relative to a cpuset's placement.
Also fixes a bug identified by Lee Schermerhorn that disallowed empty
nodemasks to be passed to MPOL_PREFERRED to specify local allocations. [A

mempolicy: add MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES flag
Adds another optional mode flag, MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES, that specifies
nodemasks passed via set_mempolicy() or mbind() should be considered relative
to the current task's mems_allowed.
When the mempolicy is created, the passed nodemask is folded and mapped onto
the current task's mems_allowed. For example, consider a task using
set_mempolicy() to pass MPOL_INTERLEAVE | MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES with a
nodemask of 1-3. If current's mems_allowed is 4-7, the effected nodemask is
5-7 (the second, third, and fourth node of mems_allowed).
If the same task is attached to a cpuset, the mempolicy nodemask is rebound
each time the mems are changed. Some possible rebinds and results are:
mems result
1-3 1-3
1-7 2-4
1,5-6 1,5-6
1,5-7 5-7
Likewise, the zonelist built for MPOL_BIND acts on the set of zones assigned
to the resultant nodemask from the relative remap.
In the MPOL_PREFERRED case, the preferred node is remapped from the currently
effected nodemask to the relative nodemask.
This mempolicy mode flag was conceived of by Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com>.

mempolicy: add bitmap_onto() and bitmap_fold() operations
The following adds two more bitmap operators, bitmap_onto() and bitmap_fold(),
with the usual cpumask and nodemask wrappers.
The bitmap_onto() operator computes one bitmap relative to another. If the
n-th bit in the origin mask is set, then the m-th bit of the destination mask
will be set, where m is the position of the n-th set bit in the relative mask.
The bitmap_fold() operator folds a bitmap into a second that has bit m set iff
the input bitmap has some bit n set, where m == n mod sz, for the specified sz
value.
There are two substantive changes between this patch and its
predecessor bitmap_relative:
1) Renamed bitmap_relative() to be bitmap_onto().
2) Added bitmap_fold().
The essential motivation for bitmap_onto() is to provide a mechanism for
converting a cpuset-relative CPU or Node mask to an absolute mask. Cpuset
relative masks are written as if the current task were in a cpuset whose CPUs
or Nodes were just the consecutive ones numbered 0..N-1, for some N. The
bitmap_onto() operator is provided in anticipation of adding support for the
first such cpuset relative mask, by the mbind() and set_mempolicy() system
calls, using a planned flag of MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES. These bitmap operators
(and their nodemask wrappers, in particular) will be used in code that
converts the user specified cpuset relative memory policy to a specific system
node numbered policy, given the current mems_allowed of the tasks cpuset.
Such cpuset relative mempolicies will address two deficiencies
of the existing interface between cpusets and mempolicies:
1) A task cannot at present reliably establish a cpuset
relative mempolicy because there is an essential race
condition, in that the tasks cpuset may be changed in
between the time the task can query its cpuset placement,
and the time the task can issue the applicable mbind or
set_memplicy system call.
2) A task cannot at present establish what cpuset relative
mempolicy it would like to have, if it is in a smaller
cpuset than it might have mempolicy preferences for,
because the existing interface only allows specifying
mempolicies for nodes currently allowed by the cpuset.
Cpuset relative mempolicies are useful for tasks that don't distinguish
particularly between one CPU or Node and another, but only between how many of
each are allowed, and the proper placement of threads and memory pages on the
various CPUs and Nodes available.
The motivation for the added bitmap_fold() can be seen in the following
example.
Let's say an application has specified some mempolicies that presume 16 memory
nodes, including say a mempolicy that specified MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES (cpuset
relative) nodes 12-15. Then lets say that application is crammed into a
cpuset that only has 8 memory nodes, 0-7. If one just uses bitmap_onto(),
this mempolicy, mapped to that cpuset, would ignore the requested relative
nodes above 7, leaving it empty of nodes. That's not good; better to fold the
higher nodes down, so that some nodes are included in the resulting mapped
mempolicy. In this case, the mempolicy nodes 12-15 are taken modulo 8 (the
weight of the mems_allowed of the confining cpuset), resulting in a mempolicy
specifying nodes 4-7.

a union with cpuset_mems_allowed:
struct mempolicy {

nodemask_t user_nodemask;
} w;
}
that stores the the nodemask that the user passed when he or she created the
mempolicy via set_mempolicy() or mbind(). When using MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES,
which is passed with any mempolicy mode, the user's passed nodemask
intersected with the VMA or task's allowed nodes is always used when
determining the preferred node, setting the MPOL_BIND zonelist, or creating
the interleave nodemask. This happens whenever the policy is rebound,
including when a task's cpuset assignment changes or the cpuset's mems are
changed.
This creates an interesting side-effect in that it allows the mempolicy
"intent" to lie dormant and uneffected until it has access to the node(s) that
it desires. For example, if you currently ask for an interleaved policy over
a set of nodes that you do not have access to, the mempolicy is not created
and the task continues to use the previous policy. With this change, however,
it is possible to create the same mempolicy; it is only effected when access
to nodes in the nodemask is acquired.
It is also possible to mount tmpfs with the static nodemask behavior when
specifying a node or nodemask. To do this, simply add "=static" immediately
following the mempolicy mode at mount time:
mount -o remount mpol=interleave=static:1-3
Also removes mpol_check_policy() and folds its logic into mpol_new() since it
is now obsoleted. The unused vma_mpol_equal() is also removed.

mempolicy: support optional mode flags
With the evolution of mempolicies, it is necessary to support mempolicy mode
flags that specify how the policy shall behave in certain circumstances. The
most immediate need for mode flag support is to suppress remapping the
nodemask of a policy at the time of rebind.
Both the mempolicy mode and flags are passed by the user in the 'int policy'
formal of either the set_mempolicy() or mbind() syscall. A new constant,
MPOL_MODE_FLAGS, represents the union of legal optional flags that may be
passed as part of this int. Mempolicies that include illegal flags as part of
their policy are rejected as invalid.
An additional member to struct mempolicy is added to support the mode flags:
struct mempolicy {
...
unsigned short policy;
unsigned short flags;
}
The splitting of the 'int' actual passed by the user is done in
sys_set_mempolicy() and sys_mbind() for their respective syscalls. This is
done by intersecting the actual with MPOL_MODE_FLAGS, rejecting the syscall of
there are additional flags, and storing it in the new 'flags' member of struct
mempolicy. The intersection of the actual with ~MPOL_MODE_FLAGS is stored in
the 'policy' member of the struct and all current users of pol->policy remain
unchanged.
The union of the policy mode and optional mode flags is passed back to the
user in get_mempolicy().
This combination of mode and flags within the same actual does not break
userspace code that relies on get_mempolicy(&policy, ...) and either
switch (policy) {
case MPOL_BIND:
...
case MPOL_INTERLEAVE:
...
};
statements or
if (policy == MPOL_INTERLEAVE) {
...
}
statements. Such applications would need to use optional mode flags when
calling set_mempolicy() or mbind() for these previously implemented statements
to stop working. If an application does start using optional mode flags, it
will need to mask the optional flags off the policy in switch and conditional
statements that only test mode.
An additional member is also added to struct shmem_sb_info to store the
optional mode flags.

takes a nodemask for further filtering. This eliminates the need for
MPOL_BIND to create a custom zonelist.
A positive benefit of this is that allocations using MPOL_BIND now use the
local node's distance-ordered zonelist instead of a custom node-id-ordered
zonelist. I.e., pages will be allocated from the closest allowed node with
available memory.

introduces a second set of zonelists for __GFP_THISNODE.
The fifth patch introduces helper macros for retrieving the zone and node
indices of entries in a zonelist.
The final patch introduces filtering of the zonelists based on a nodemask.
Two zonelists exist per node, one for normal allocations and one for
__GFP_THISNODE.
Performance results varied depending on the machine configuration. In real
workloads the gain/loss will depend on how much the userspace portion of the
benchmark benefits from having more cache available due to reduced referencing
of zonelists.
These are the range of performance losses/gains when running against
2.6.24-rc4-mm1. The set and these machines are a mix of i386, x86_64 and
ppc64 both NUMA and non-NUMA.
loss to gain
Total CPU time on Kernbench: -0.86% to 1.13%
Elapsed time on Kernbench: -0.79% to 0.76%
page_test from aim9: -4.37% to 0.79%

This patch:
The allocator deals with zonelists which indicate the order in which zones
should be targeted for an allocation. Similarly, direct reclaim of pages
iterates over an array of zones. For consistency, this patch converts direct
reclaim to use a zonelist. No functionality is changed by this patch. This
simplifies zonelist iterators in the next patch.

fix invalidate_inode_pages2_range() to not clear ret
DIO invalidates page cache through invalidate_inode_pages2_range().
invalidate_inode_pages2_range() sets ret=-EIO when

do_launder_page() succeed on a page of next index.
In this case, dio is carried out even if invalidate_complete_page2() fails

Remove set_migrateflags()
Migrate flags must be set on slab creation as agreed upon when the antifrag
logic was reviewed. Otherwise some slabs of a slabcache will end up in the
unmovable and others in the reclaimable section depending on which flag was
active when a new slab page was allocated.
This likely slid in somehow when antifrag was merged. Remove it.
The buffer_heads are always allocated with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE because the
SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT option is set. The set_migrateflags() never had any
effect there.
Radix tree allocations are not directly reclaimable but they are allocated
with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE set on each allocation. We now set
SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT on radix tree slab creation making sure that radix
tree slabs are consistently placed in the reclaimable section. Radix tree
slabs will also be accounted as such.
There is then no user left of set_migratepages. So remove it.

hotplug-memory: make online_page() common
All architectures use an effectively identical definition of online_page(), so
just make it common code. x86-64, ia64, powerpc and sh are actually
identical; x86-32 is slightly different.
x86-32's differences arise because it puts its hotplug pages in the highmem
zone. We can handle this in the generic code by inspecting the page to see if
its in highmem, and update the totalhigh_pages count appropriately. This
leaves init_32.c:free_new_highpage with a single caller, so I folded it into
add_one_highpage_init.
I also removed an incorrect comment referring to the NUMA case; any NUMA
details have already been dealt with by the time online_page() is called.

rtc: avoid legacy drivers with generic framework
Kconfig tweaks to help reduce RTC configuration bugs, by avoiding
legacy RTC drivers when the generic RTC framework is enabled:
- If rtc-cmos is selected, disable the legacy rtc driver;
- When using generic RTC on x86, enable rtc-cmos by default;
- In the old "chardev RTC" section of Kconfig, add a comment
warning people off these (seven) legacy RTC drivers when
the generic framework is in use.
People can still use the legacy drivers if they want (or need) to.
This doesn't fix the broken dependencies for the legacy "CMOS" RTC driver.
Ideally it would be a full list of platforms where it works, not a partial
list of ones where it won't. Or better yet, it would depend on a
"HAVE_CMOS_RTC" flag defined by various platforms ... surely there's a
Kconfig style guideline lurking there.

Unfortunately, it didn't keep any of the locking around the rport list,
nor did it consider the synchronous nature of the scan invoked. The result,
there are some scan requests where the rport list changes, thus a subsequent
scan is called on a bogus rport structure and the system NMI's.

[SCSI] fix SLUB WARN_ON
We're getting a WARN_ON from SLUB indicating that we're trying to free
caches with in-use objects. The root cause is a new dependency in the
command/sense free on unchecked_isa_dma. The WARN_ON is caused by
drivers which change this in their setup after the command/sense cache
is allocated.
The fix is to move the allocation of this cache into scsi_add_host()
so things like gdth have an opportunity to modify it between alloc and
add (but *not* after).
The true fix would be to move unchecked_isa_dma into the template and
out of the host, so it because a truly read only variable.
