We currently have a race when scheduling a context to a SPE -
after we have found a runnable context in spusched_tick, the same
context may have been scheduled by spu_activate().

This may result in a panic if we try to unschedule a context that has
been freed in the meantime.

This change exits spu_schedule() if the context has already been
scheduled, so we don't end up scheduling it twice.

We currently have a race for a free SPE. With one thread doing a
spu_yield(), and another doing a spu_activate():

thread 1				thread 2
spu_yield(oldctx)			spu_activate(ctx)
  __spu_deactivate(oldctx)
  spu_unschedule(oldctx, spu)
  spu->alloc_state = SPU_FREE
					spu = spu_get_idle(ctx)
					    - searches for a SPE in
					      state SPU_FREE, gets
					      the context just
					      freed by thread 1
					spu_schedule(ctx, spu)
					  spu->alloc_state = SPU_USED
spu_schedule(newctx, spu)
  - assumes spu is still free
  - tries to schedule context on
    already-used spu

This change introduces a 'free_spu' flag to spu_unschedule, to indicate
whether or not the function should free the spu after descheduling the
context. We only set this flag if we're not going to re-schedule
another context on this SPU.

Add a comment to document this behaviour.

Commit 8d5636fb introduced a reference
count on SPU contexts during find_victim, but this may cause a leak in
the reference count if we later find a better contender for a context to
unschedule.

Change the reference to after we've found our victim context, so we
don't do the extra get_spu_context().

The calculation to get TI_CPU based off of SPRG3 was just plain wrong,
meaning that we were getting garbage for the CPU number on 6xx/G3/G4
based SMP boxes in this code.

Just offset off the stack pointer (to get to thread_info) like all the
other references to TI_CPU do.

This bug is causing random crashes
(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11414).

-fno-omit-frame-pointer is only needed on powerpc when -pg is also
supplied, and there is a gcc bug that causes incorrect code generation
on 32-bit powerpc when -fno-omit-frame-pointer is used---it uses stack
locations below the stack pointer, which is not allowed by the ABI
because those locations can and sometimes do get corrupted by an
interrupt.

This ensures that CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is only selected by ftrace.
When CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled we also pass -mno-sched-epilog to work
around the gcc codegen bug.

Commit bc033b63 ("powerpc/mm: Fix
attribute confusion with htab_bolt_mapping()") moved the check for
whether we should make pages of the linear mapping executable from
htab_bolt_mapping into its callers, including htab_initialize.
A side-effect of this is that the decision is now made once for
each contiguous section in the LMB array rather than for each page
individually.  This can often mean that the whole of the linear
mapping ends up being executable.

This reverts to the previous behaviour, where individual pages are
checked for being part of the kernel text or not, by moving the check
back down into htab_bolt_mapping.

Larry Finger reported at http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/1/90:
An ancient laptop of mine started throwing errors from b43legacy when
I started using 2.6.27 on it. This has been bisected to commit bfc0f594
"x86: merge tsc calibration".

The unification of the TSC code adopted mostly the 64bit code, which
prefers PMTIMER/HPET over the PIT calibration.

Larrys system has an AMD K6 CPU. Such systems are known to have
PMTIMER incarnations which run at double speed. This results in a
miscalibration of the TSC by factor 0.5. So the resulting calibrated
CPU/TSC speed is half of the real CPU speed, which means that the TSC
based delay loop will run half the time it should run. That might
explain why the b43legacy driver went berserk.

On the other hand we know about systems, where the PIT based
calibration results in random crap due to heavy SMI/SMM
disturbance. On those systems the PMTIMER/HPET based calibration logic
with SMI detection shows better results.

According to Alok also virtualized systems suffer from the PIT
calibration method.

The solution is to use a more wreckage aware aproach than the current
either/or decision.

1) reimplement the retry loop which was dropped from the 32bit code
during the merge. It repeats the calibration and selects the lowest
frequency value as this is probably the closest estimate to the real
frequency

2) Monitor the delta of the TSC values in the delay loop which waits
for the PIT counter to reach zero. If the maximum value is
significantly different from the minimum, then we have a pretty safe
indicator that the loop was disturbed by an SMI.

3) keep the pmtimer/hpet reference as a backup solution for systems
where the SMI disturbance is a permanent point of failure for PIT
based calibration

4) do the loop iteration for both methods, record the lowest value and
decide after all iterations finished.

5) Set a clear preference to PIT based calibration when the result
makes sense.

The implementation does the reference calibration based on
HPET/PMTIMER around the delay, which is necessary for the PIT anyway,
but keeps separate TSC values to ensure the "independency" of the
resulting calibration values.

Tested on various 32bit/64bit machines including Geode 266Mhz, AMD K6
(affected machine with a double speed pmtimer which I grabbed out of
the dump), Pentium class machines and AMD/Intel 64 bit boxen.

("[XFRM]: Speed up xfrm_policy and xfrm_state walking") it is
illegal to call __xfrm_state_destroy (and thus xfrm_state_put())
with xfrm_state_lock held.  If we do, we'll deadlock since we
have the lock already and __xfrm_state_destroy() tries to take

        random: simplify and rename credit_entropy_store

credit_entropy_bits() does:

	spin_lock_irqsave(&r->lock, flags);
	...
	if (r->entropy_count > r->poolinfo->POOLBITS)
		r->entropy_count = r->poolinfo->POOLBITS;

so there is a time window in which this BUG_ON():

static size_t account(struct entropy_store *r, size_t nbytes, int min,
		      int reserved)
{
	unsigned long flags;

	BUG_ON(r->entropy_count > r->poolinfo->POOLBITS);

	/* Hold lock while accounting */
	spin_lock_irqsave(&r->lock, flags);

can trigger.

We could fix this by moving the assertion inside the lock, but it seems
safer and saner to revert to the old behaviour wherein
entropy_store.entropy_count at no time exceeds
entropy_store.poolinfo->POOLBITS.

Make PM_QOS and CPU_IDLE play nicer when run with the RT-Preempt kernel.

The purpose of the patch is to remove the spin_lock around the read in the
function pm_qos_requirement - since spinlocks can sleep in -rt and this
function is called from idle.

CPU_IDLE polls the target_value's of some of the pm_qos parameters from
the idle loop causing sleeping locking warnings.  Changing the
target_value to an atomic avoids this issue.

Remove the spinlock in pm_qos_requirement by making target_value an atomic
type.

I got this patch through Red Hat's bugzilla from the bug submitter and
patch creator.  I have just fixed it up so it applies without fuzz to
upstream kernels.

Original patch and description from Shyam kumar Iyer:

The issue [ibft module not displaying targets with short names] is because
of an offset calculatation error in the iscsi_ibft.c code.  Due to this
error directory structure for the target in /sys/firmware/ibft does not
get created and so the initiator is unable to connect to the target.

Note that this bug surfaced only with an name that had a short section at
the end.  eg: "iqn.1984-05.com.dell:dell".  It did not surface when the
iqn's had a longer section at the end.  eg:
"iqn.2001-04.com.example:storage.disk2.sys1.xyz"

So, the eot_offset was calculated such that an extra 48 bytes i.e.  the
size of the ibft_header which has already been accounted was subtracted
twice.

This was not evident with longer iqn names because they would overshoot
the total ibft length more than 48 bytes and thus would escape the bug.

commit 945185a6 ("rtc: rtc_time_to_tm: use

unsigned:

 void rtc_time_to_tm(unsigned long time, struct rtc_time *tm)
 {
-       register int days, month, year;
+       unsigned int days, month, year;

This doesn't work for all cases, because days is checked for < 0 later
on:

if (days < 0) {
	year -= 1;
	days += 365 + LEAP_YEAR(year);
}

I think the correct fix would be to keep days signed and do an appropriate
cast later on.

Quicklists store pages for each CPU as caches.  (Each CPU can cache
node_free_pages/16 pages)

It is used for page table cache.  exit() will increase the cache size,
while fork() consumes it.

So for example if an apache-style application runs (one parent and many
child model), one CPU process will fork() while another CPU will process
the middleware work and exit().

At that time, the CPU on which the parent runs doesn't have page table
cache at all.  Others (on which children runs) have maximum caches.

	QList_max = (#ofCPUs - 1) x Free / 16
	=> QList_max / (Free + QList_max) = (#ofCPUs - 1) / (16 + #ofCPUs - 1)

So, How much quicklist memory is used in the maximum case?

This is proposional to # of CPUs because the limit of per cpu quicklist
cache doesn't see the number of cpus.

Above calculation mean

	 Number of CPUs per node            2    4    8   16
	 ==============================  ====================
	 QList_max / (Free + QList_max)   5.8%  16%  30%  48%

Wow! Quicklist can spend about 50% memory at worst case.

When above program which does task migration runs, my 8GB box spends
800MB of memory for quicklist.  This is not memory leak but doesn't seem
good.

% cat /proc/meminfo

MemTotal:        7701568 kB
MemFree:         4724672 kB
(snip)
Quicklists:       844800 kB

because

- My machine spec is
	number of numa node: 2
	number of cpus:      8 (4CPU x2 node)
        total mem:           8GB (4GB x2 node)
        free mem:            about 5GB

- Then, 4.7GB x 16% ~= 880MB.
  So, Quicklist can use 800MB.

So, if following spec machine run that program

   CPUs: 64 (8cpu x 8node)
   Mem:  1TB (128GB x8node)

Then, quicklist can waste 300GB (= 1TB x 30%).  It is too large.

So, I don't like cache policies which is proportional to # of cpus.

My patch changes the number of caches
from:
   per-cpu-cache-amount = memory_on_node / 16
to
   per-cpu-cache-amount = memory_on_node / 16 / number_of_cpus_on_node.

During the use of a dev_cgroup, we should guarantee the corresponding
cgroup won't be deleted (i.e.  via rmdir).  This can be done through
css_get(&dev_cgroup->css), but here we can just get and use the dev_cgroup
under rcu_read_lock.

And also remove checking NULL dev_cgroup, it won't be NULL since a task
always belongs to a cgroup.

1. Check if virtual resolution fits into memory.
   Otherwise, Linux hangs during panning.
2. When selected use all available memory to
    maximize yres_virtual to speed up panning
   (previously also xres_virtual was increased).
3. Simplify memory restriction calculations.

We don't change pid_ns->child_reaper when the main thread of the
subnamespace init exits.  As Robert Rex <robert.rex@exasol.com> pointed
out this is wrong.

Yes, the re-parenting itself works correctly, but if the reparented task
exits it needs ->parent->nsproxy->pid_ns in do_notify_parent(), and if the
main thread is zombie its ->nsproxy was already cleared by
exit_task_namespaces().

Introduce the new function, find_new_reaper(), which finds the new
->parent for the re-parenting and changes ->child_reaper if needed.  Kill
the now unneeded exit_child_reaper().

Also move the changing of ->child_reaper from zap_pid_ns_processes() to
find_new_reaper(), this consolidates the games with ->child_reaper and
makes it stable under tasklist_lock.

zap_pid_ns_processes() sets pid_ns->child_reaper = NULL, this is wrong.

Yes, we have already killed all tasks in this namespace, and sys_wait4()
doesn't see any child.  But this doesn't mean ->children list is empty, we
may have EXIT_DEAD tasks which are not visible to do_wait().  In that case
the subsequent forget_original_parent() will crash the kernel because it
will try to re-parent these tasks to the NULL reaper.

Even if there are no childs, it is not good that forget_original_parent()
uses reaper == NULL.

Change the code to set ->child_reaper = init_pid_ns.child_reaper instead.
We could use pid_ns->parent->child_reaper as well, I think this does not
really matter.  These EXIT_DEAD tasks are not visible to the new ->parent
after re-parenting, they will silently do release_task() eventually.

Note that we must change ->child_reaper, otherwise
forget_original_parent() will use reaper == father, and in that case we
will hit the (correct) BUG_ON(!list_empty(&father->children)).

At91_mci is abusing dma_free_coherent(), which may not be called with IRQs
disabled.  I saw "mkfs.ext3" on an MMC card objecting voluminously as each
write completed:

This bug has been around for a LONG time.  The MM warning is from late
2005, but the driver merged a year later ...  so I'm puzzled why nobody
noticed this before now.

The fix involves noting that this buffer shouldn't be DMA-coherent; it's
just used for normal DMA writes.  So replace it with standard kmalloc()
buffering and DMA mapping calls.

This is the quickie fix.  A better one would not rely on allocating large
bounce buffers.  (Note that dma_alloc_coherent could have failed too, but
that case was ignored...  kmalloc is a bit more likely to fail though.)

Recent changes to tighten the check for UARTs that don't correctly
re-assert THRE (01c194d9: "serial 8250:
tighten test for using backup timer") caused problems when such a UART was
opened for the second time - the bug could only successfully be detected
at first initialization.  For users of this version of this particular
UART IP it is fatal.

This patch stores the information about the bug in the bugs field of the
port structure when the port is first started up so subsequent opens can
check this bit even if the test for the bug fails.

David Brownell: "My own exposure to this is that the UART on DaVinci
hardware, which TI allegedly derived from its original 16550 logic, has
periodically gone from working to unusable with the mainline 8250.c ...
and back and forth a bunch.  Currently it's "unusable", a regression from
some previous versions.  With this patch from Will, it's usable."

Dio write returns EIO when try_to_release_page fails because bh is
still referenced.

The patch

    commit 3f31fddf
    Author: Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com>
    Date:   Fri Jul 25 01:46:22 2008 -0700

        jbd: fix race between free buffer and commit transaction

was merged into 2.6.27-rc1, but I noticed that this patch is not enough
to fix the race.

I did fsstress test heavily to 2.6.27-rc1, and found that dio write still
sometimes got EIO through this test.

The patch above fixed race between freeing buffer(dio) and committing
transaction(jbd) but I discovered that there is another race, freeing
buffer(dio) and ext3/4_ordered_writepage.

: background_writeout()
     ->write_cache_pages()
       ->ext3_ordered_writepage()
     	   walk_page_buffers() -> take a bh ref
 	   block_write_full_page() -> unlock_page
		: <- end_page_writeback
                : <- race! (dio write->try_to_release_page fails)
      	   walk_page_buffers() ->release a bh ref

ext3_ordered_writepage holds bh ref and does unlock_page remaining
taking a bh ref, so this causes the race and failure of
try_to_release_page.

To fix this race, I used the approach of falling back to buffered
writes if try_to_release_page() fails on a page.

I have gotten to the root cause of the hugetlb badness I reported back on
August 15th.  My system has the following memory topology (note the
overlapping node):

            Node 0 Memory: 0x8000000-0x44000000
            Node 1 Memory: 0x0-0x8000000 0x44000000-0x80000000

setup_zone_migrate_reserve() scans the address range 0x0-0x8000000 looking
for a pageblock to move onto the MIGRATE_RESERVE list.  Finding no
candidates, it happily continues the scan into 0x8000000-0x44000000.  When
a pageblock is found, the pages are moved to the MIGRATE_RESERVE list on
the wrong zone.  Oops.

setup_zone_migrate_reserve() should skip pageblocks in overlapping nodes.

In case of error, the function xfrm_bundle_create returns an ERR
pointer, but never returns a NULL pointer. So a NULL test that comes
after an IS_ERR test should be deleted.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
