Use DECLARE_BITMAP(), find_first_zero_bit(), set_bit() and clear_bit() instead of rewriting code to do it with the minor number dynamic allocation bitmap. We need to invert the bit position to keep the code behaviour of using the last minor numbers first, since we don't have a find_last_zero_bit. Signed-off-by:

If there's a failure creating the device (because there's already one with the same name, for example), the current implementation does not clear the bit for the allocated minor and that number is lost for future allocations. Second, the test currently in misc_deregister is broken, since it does not test for the 0 minor. Signed-off-by:

rwsem_is_locked() tests ->activity without locks, so we should always keep ->activity consistent. However, the code in __rwsem_do_wake() breaks this rule, it updates ->activity after _all_ readers waken up, this may give some reader a wrong ->activity value, thus cause rwsem_is_locked() behaves wrong. Quote from Andrew: " - we have one or more processes sleeping in down_read(), waiting for access. - we wake one or more processes up without altering ->activity - they start to run and they do rwsem_is_locked(). This incorrectly returns "false", because the waker process is still crunching away in __rwsem_do_wake(). - the waker now alters ->activity, but it was too late. " So we need get a spinlock to protect this. And rwsem_is_locked() should not block, thus we use spin_trylock_irqsave(). [akpm@linux-foundation.org: simplify code] Reported-by:

Setting a thread's comm to be something unique is a very useful ability and is helpful for debugging complicated threaded applications. However currently the only way to set a thread name is for the thread to name itself via the PR_SET_NAME prctl. However, there may be situations where it would be advantageous for a thread dispatcher to be naming the threads its managing, rather then having the threads self-describe themselves. This sort of behavior is available on other systems via the pthread_setname_np() interface. This patch exports a task's comm via proc/pid/comm and proc/pid/task/tid/comm interfaces, and allows thread siblings to write to these values. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: cleanups] Signed-off-by:

The NOMMU code currently clears all anonymous mmapped memory. While this is what we want in the default case, all memory allocation from userspace under NOMMU has to go through this interface, including malloc() which is allowed to return uninitialized memory. This can easily be a significant performance penalty. So for constrained embedded systems were security is irrelevant, allow people to avoid clearing memory unnecessarily. This also alters the ELF-FDPIC binfmt such that it obtains uninitialised memory for the brk and stack region. Signed-off-by:

Details ======= My test program (leak_pagemap) works as follows: - creat() and mmap() a file on hugetlbfs (file size is 200MB == 100 hugepages,) - read()/write() something on it, - call page-types with option -p (walk around the page tables), - munmap() and unlink() the file on hugetlbfs Without my patches ------------------ $ cat /proc/meminfo |grep "HugePage" HugePages_Total: 1000 HugePages_Free: 1000 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 HugePages_Surp: 0 $ ./leak_pagemap [snip output] $ cat /proc/meminfo |grep "HugePage" HugePages_Total: 1000 HugePages_Free: 900 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 HugePages_Surp: 0 $ ls /hugetlbfs/ $ 100 hugepages are accounted as used while there is no file on hugetlbfs.

Most callers of pmd_none_or_clear_bad() check whether the target page is in a hugepage or not, but mincore() and walk_page_range() do not check it. So if we use mincore() on a hugepage on x86 machine, the hugepage memory is leaked as shown below. This patch fixes it by extending mincore() system call to support hugepages. Details ======= My test program (leak_mincore) works as follows: - creat() and mmap() a file on hugetlbfs (file size is 200MB == 100 hugepages,) - read()/write() something on it, - call mincore() for first ten pages and printf() the values of *vec - munmap() and unlink() the file on hugetlbfs Without my patch ---------------- $ cat /proc/meminfo| grep "HugePage" HugePages_Total: 1000 HugePages_Free: 1000 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 HugePages_Surp: 0 $ ./leak_mincore vec[0] 0 vec[1] 0 vec[2] 0 vec[3] 0 vec[4] 0 vec[5] 0 vec[6] 0 vec[7] 0 vec[8] 0 vec[9] 0 $ cat /proc/meminfo |grep "HugePage" HugePages_Total: 1000 HugePages_Free: 999 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 HugePages_Surp: 0 $ ls /hugetlbfs/ $ Return values in *vec from mincore() are set to 0, while the hugepage should be in memory, and 1 hugepage is still accounted as used while there is no file on hugetlbfs.

If a user asks for a hugepage pool resize but specified a large number, the machine can begin trashing. In response, they might hit ctrl-c but signals are ignored and the pool resize continues until it fails an allocation. This can take a considerable amount of time so this patch aborts a pool resize if a signal is pending. Suggested by Dave Hansen. Signed-off-by:

When the owner of a mapping fails COW because a child process is holding a reference, the children VMAs are walked and the page is unmapped. The i_mmap_lock is taken for the unmapping of the page but not the walking of the prio_tree. In theory, that tree could be changing if the lock is not held. This patch takes the i_mmap_lock properly for the duration of the prio_tree walk. [hugh.dickins@tiscali.co.uk: Spotted the problem in the first place] Signed-off-by:

In AIM7 runs, recent kernels start swapping out anonymous pages well before they should. This is due to shrink_list falling through to shrink_inactive_list if !inactive_anon_is_low(zone, sc), when all we really wanted to do is pre-age some anonymous pages to give them extra time to be referenced while on the inactive list. The obvious fix is to make sure that shrink_list does not fall through to scanning/reclaiming inactive pages when we called it to scan one of the active lists. This change should be safe because the loop in shrink_zone ensures that we will still shrink the anon and file inactive lists whenever we should.
