sched: do not account for NMIs
Impact: avoid corruption in system time accounting
Martin Schwidefsky told me that there was an issue with NMIs and
system accounting. The problem is that the accounting code is
not reentrant, and if an NMI goes off after an interrupt it can
corrupt the accounting.
For now, the best we can do is to treat NMIs like SMIs and they
are not accounted for.
This patch changes nmi_enter to not call __irq_enter and to do
the preempt-count and tracing calls directly.

preempt-count: force hardirq-count to max of 10
To add a bit in the preempt_count to be set when in NMI context, we
found that some archs did not have enough bits to spare. This is
due to the hardirq_count being a mask that can hold NR_IRQS.
Some archs allow for over 16000 IRQs, and that would require a mask
of 14 bits. The sofitrq mask is 8 bits and the preempt disable mask
is also 8 bits. The PREEMP_ACTIVE bit is bit 30, and bit 31 would
make the preempt_count (which is type int) a negative number.
A negative preempt_count is a sign of failure.
Add them up 14+8+8+1+1 you get 32 bits. No room for the NMI bit.
But the hardirq_count is to track the number of nested IRQs, not
the number of total IRQs. This originally took the paranoid approach
of setting the max nesting to NR_IRQS. But when we have archs with
over 1000 IRQs, it is not practical to think they will ever all
nest on a single CPU. Not to mention that this would most definitely
cause a stack overflow.
This patch sets a max of 10 bits to be used for IRQ nesting.
I did a 'git grep HARDIRQ' to examine all users of HARDIRQ_BITS and
HARDIRQ_MASK, and found that making it a max of 10 would not hurt
anyone. I did find that the m68k expected it to be 8 bits, so
I allow for the archs to set the number to be less than 10.
I removed the setting of HARDIRQ_BITS from the archs that set it
to more than 10. This includes ALPHA, ia64 and avr32.
This will always allow room for the NMI bit, and if we need to allow
for NMI nesting, we have 4 bits to play with.

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.
With this patch, iozone random write performance is increased nearly
5x on my system (iozone -B -r 4k -s 64k -s 512m -s 1200m on ext2).

nbd: fix I/O hang on disconnected nbds
Fix a problem that causes I/O to a disconnected (or partially initialized)

# ioctl NBD_SET_SIZE_BLOCKS /dev/nbd23 514048
# dd if=/dev/nbd23 of=/dev/null bs=4096 count=1

This can also occur when an nbd device loses its nbd-client/server

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.

xip: support non-struct page backed memory
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.

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

mm: fix dirty_bytes/dirty_background_bytes sysctls on 64bit arches
We need to pass an unsigned long as the minimum, because it gets casted
to an unsigned long in the sysctl handler. If we pass an int, we'll
access four more bytes on 64bit arches, resulting in a random minimum
value.

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
help prevent this mistake happening again, it improves the documentation
of hugetlb_reserve_pages()

ring_buffer: pahole struct ring_buffer
While fixing some bugs in pahole (built-in.o files were not being
processed due to relocation problems) I found out about these packable
structures:
$ pahole --packable kernel/trace/ring_buffer.o | grep ring
ring_buffer 72 64 8
ring_buffer_per_cpu 112 104 8
If we take a look at the current layout of struct ring_buffer we can see
that we have two 4 bytes holes.
$ pahole -C ring_buffer kernel/trace/ring_buffer.o
struct ring_buffer {
unsigned int pages; /* 0 4 */
unsigned int flags; /* 4 4 */
int cpus; /* 8 4 */
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
cpumask_var_t cpumask; /* 16 8 */
atomic_t record_disabled; /* 24 4 */
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
struct mutex mutex; /* 32 32 */
/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
struct ring_buffer_per_cpu * * buffers; /* 64 8 */
/* size: 72, cachelines: 2, members: 7 */
/* sum members: 64, holes: 2, sum holes: 8 */
/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
};
So, if I ask pahole to reorganize it:
$ pahole -C ring_buffer --reorganize kernel/trace/ring_buffer.o
struct ring_buffer {
unsigned int pages; /* 0 4 */
unsigned int flags; /* 4 4 */
int cpus; /* 8 4 */
atomic_t record_disabled; /* 12 4 */
cpumask_var_t cpumask; /* 16 8 */
struct mutex mutex; /* 24 32 */
struct ring_buffer_per_cpu * * buffers; /* 56 8 */
/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
/* size: 64, cachelines: 1, members: 7 */
}; /* saved 8 bytes and 1 cacheline! */
We get it using just one 64 bytes cacheline.
To see what it did:
$ pahole -C ring_buffer --reorganize --show_reorg_steps \
kernel/trace/ring_buffer.o | grep \/

added by "x86, bts: add fork and exit handling", commit

I can't test this, ds_request_bts() returns -EOPNOTSUPP, but I strongly

kill(getpid(), SIGSTOP);
fork();

ptrace(PTRACE_BTS_CONFIG, pid, &bts, sizeof(bts));
ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, NULL, NULL);

Do not account for the address space used by hugetlbfs using VM_ACCOUNT
When overcommit is disabled, the core VM accounts for pages used by anonymous
shared, private mappings and special mappings. It keeps track of VMAs that
should be accounted for with VM_ACCOUNT and VMAs that never had a reserve
with VM_NORESERVE.
Overcommit for hugetlbfs is much riskier than overcommit for base pages
due to contiguity requirements. It avoids overcommiting on both shared and
private mappings using reservation counters that are checked and updated
during mmap(). This ensures (within limits) that hugepages exist in the
future when faults occurs or it is too easy to applications to be SIGKILLed.
As hugetlbfs makes its own reservations of a different unit to the base page
size, VM_ACCOUNT should never be set. Even if the units were correct, we would
double account for the usage in the core VM and hugetlbfs. VM_NORESERVE may
be set because an application can request no reserves be made for hugetlbfs
at the risk of getting killed later.
With commit
fc8744adc870a8d4366908221508bb113d8b72ee, VM_NORESERVE and
VM_ACCOUNT are getting unconditionally set for hugetlbfs-backed mappings. This
breaks the accounting for both the core VM and hugetlbfs, can trigger an
OOM storm when hugepage pools are too small lockups and corrupted counters
otherwise are used. This patch brings hugetlbfs more in line with how the
core VM treats VM_NORESERVE but prevents VM_ACCOUNT being set.

x86: fix math_emu register frame access
do_device_not_available() is the handler for #NM and it declares that
it takes a unsigned long and calls math_emu(), which takes a long
argument and surprisingly expects the stack frame starting at the zero
argument would match struct math_emu_info, which isn't true regardless
of configuration in the current code.
This patch makes do_device_not_available() take struct pt_regs like
other exception handlers and initialize struct math_emu_info with
pointer to it and pass pointer to the math_emu_info to math_emulate()
like normal C functions do. This way, unless gcc makes a copy of
struct pt_regs in do_device_not_available(), the register frame is
correctly accessed regardless of kernel configuration or compiler
used.
This doesn't fix all math_emu problems but it at least gets it

Btrfs: don't use spin_is_contended
Btrfs was using spin_is_contended to see if it should drop locks before
doing extent allocations during btrfs_search_slot. The idea was to avoid
expensive searches in the tree unless the lock was actually contended.
But, spin_is_contended is specific to the ticket spinlocks on x86, so this
is causing compile errors everywhere else.
In practice, the contention could easily appear some time after we started
doing the extent allocation, and it makes more sense to always drop the lock
instead.
