To make spinlock/rwlock initialization consistent all over the kernel, this patch converts explicit lock-initializers into spin_lock_init() and rwlock_init() calls. Currently, spinlocks and rwlocks are initialized in two different ways: lock = SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED spin_lock_init(&lock) rwlock = RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED rwlock_init(&rwlock) this patch converts all explicit lock initializations to spin_lock_init() or rwlock_init(). (Besides consistency this also helps automatic lock validators and debugging code.) The conversion was done with a script, it was verified manually and it was reviewed, compiled and tested as far as possible on x86, ARM, PPC. There is no runtime overhead or actual code change resulting out of this patch, because spin_lock_init() and rwlock_init() are macros and are thus equivalent to the explicit initialization method. That's the second batch of the unifying patches. Signed-off-by:

- When invalidating pages, take care to shoot down any ptes which map them as well. This ensures that the next mmap access to the page will generate a major fault, so NFS's server-side modifications are picked up. This also allows us to call invalidate_complete_page() on all pages, so filesytems such as ext3 get a chance to invalidate the buffer_heads. - Don't mark in-pagetable pages as non-uptodate any more. That broke a previous guarantee that mapped-into-user-process pages are always uptodate. - Check the return value of invalidate_complete_page(). It can fail if someone redirties a page after generic_file_direct_IO() write it back. But we still have a problem. If invalidate_inode_pages2() calls unmap_mapping_range(), that can cause zap_pte_range() to dirty the pagecache pages. That will redirty the page's buffers and will cause invalidate_complete_page() to fail. So, in generic_file_direct_IO() we do a complete pte shootdown on the file up-front, prior to writing back dirty pagecache. This is only done for O_DIRECT writes. It _could_ be done for O_DIRECT reads too, providing full mmap-vs-direct-IO coherency for both O_DIRECT reads and O_DIRECT writes, but permitting the pte shootdown on O_DIRECT reads trivially allows people to nuke other people's mapped pagecache. NFS also uses invalidate_inode_pages2() for handling server-side modification notifications. But in the NFS case the clear_page_dirty() in invalidate_inode_pages2() is sufficient, because NFS doesn't have to worry about the "dirty buffers against a clean page" problem.

A while ago we merged a patch which tried to solve a problem wherein a concurrent read() and invalidate_inode_pages() would cause the read() to return -EIO because invalidate cleared PageUptodate() at the wrong time. That patch tests for (page_count(page) != 2) in invalidate_complete_page() and bales out if false. Problem is, the page may be in the per-cpu LRU front-ends over in lru_cache_add. This elevates the refcount pending spillage of the page onto the LRU for real. That causes a false positive in invalidate_complete_page(), causing the page to not get invalidated. This screws up the logic in my new O_DIRECT-vs-buffered coherency fix. So let's solve the invalidate-vs-read in a different manner. Over on the read() side, add an explicit check to see if the page was invalidated. If so, just drop it on the floor and redo the read from scratch. Note that only do_generic_mapping_read() needs treatment. filemap_nopage(), filemap_getpage() and read_cache_page() are already doing the oh-it-was-invalidated-so-try-again thing. Signed-off-by:

This patch removes bitmaps from page allocator in mm/page_alloc.c. This buddy system uses page->private field to record free page's order instead of using bitmaps. The algorithm of the buddy system is unchanged. Only bitmaps are removed. In this buddy system, 2 pages,a page and "buddy", can be coalesced when (buddy->private & PG_private) && (page_order(page)) == (page_order(buddy)) && !PageReserved(buddy) && page_count(buddy) == 0 this also means "buddy" is a head of continuous free pages of length of (1 << page_order(buddy)). bad_range() is called from inner loop of __free_pages_bulk(). In many archs, bad_range() is only a sanity check, it will always return 0. But if a zone's memmap has a hole, it sometimes returns 1. An architecture with memory holes in a zone has to define CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE. When CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE is defined, pfn_valid() is called for checking whether a buddy pages is valid or not.

Followings are patches for removing bitmaps from the buddy allocator. This is benefical to memory-hot-plug stuffs, because this removes a data structure which must meet to a host's physical memory layout. This is one step to manage physical memory in nonlinear / discontiguous way and will reduce some amounts of codes to implement memory-hot-plug. This patch removes bitmaps from zone->free_area[] in include/linux/mmzone.h, and adds some comments on page->private field in include/linux/mm.h. non-atomic ops for changing PG_private bit is added in include/page-flags.h. zone->lock is always acquired when PG_private of "a free page" is changed.

All in-tree references to remap_page_range() have been removed by prior patches in the series. This patch, intended to be applied after some waiting period for people to adjust to the API change, notice __deprecated, etc., does the final removal of remap_page_range() as a function symbol declared within kernel headers and/or implemented in kernel sources.

The hashtable that linear uses to find the right device stores two pointers for every entry. The second is always one of: The first plus 1 NULL When NULL, it is never accessed, so any value can be stored. Thus it could always be "first plus 1", and so we don't need to store it as it is trivial to calculate. This patch halves the size of this table, which results in some simpler code as well.

This is the current remove-BKL patch. I test-booted it on x86 and x64, trying every conceivable combination of SMP, PREEMPT and PREEMPT_BKL. All other architectures should compile as well. (most of the testing was done with the zaphod patch undone but it applies cleanly on vanilla -mm3 as well and should work fine.) this is the debugging-enabled variant of the patch which has two main debugging features: - debug potentially illegal smp_processor_id() use. Has caught a number of real bugs - e.g. look at the printk.c fix in the patch. - make it possible to enable/disable the BKL via a .config. If this goes upstream we dont want this of course, but for now it gives people a chance to find out whether any particular problem was caused by this patch. This patch has one important fix over the previous BKL patch: on PREEMPT kernels if we preempted BKL-using code then the code still auto-dropped the BKL by mistake. This caused a number of breakages for testers, which breakages went away once this bug was fixed. Also the debugging mechanism has been improved alot relative to the previous BKL patch. Would be nice to test-drive this in -mm. There will likely be some more smp_processor_id() false positives but they are 1) harmless 2) easy to fix up. We could as well find more real smp_processor_id() related breakages as well. The most noteworthy fact is that no BKL-using code was found yet that relied on smp_processor_id(), which is promising from a compatibility POV. Signed-off-by:

Despite its restart_pgoff pretentions, unmap_mapping_range_vma was fatally unable to distinguish a vma to be restarted from the case where that vma has been freed, and its vm_area_struct reused for the top part of a !new_below split of an isomorphic vma yet to be scanned. The obvious answer is to note restart_vma in the struct address_space, and cancel it when that vma is freed; but I'm reluctant to enlarge every struct inode just for this. Another answer is to flag valid restart in the vm_area_struct; but vm_flags is protected by down_write of mmap_sem, which we cannot take within down_write of i_sem. If we're going to need yet another field, better to record the restart_addr itself: restart_vma only recorded the last restart, but a busy tree could well use more. Actually, we don't need another field: we can neatly (though naughtily) keep restart_addr in vm_truncate_count, provided mapping->truncate_count leaps over those values which look like a page-aligned address. Zero remains good for forcing a scan (though now interpreted as restart_addr 0), and it turns out no change is needed to any of the vm_truncate_count settings in dup_mmap, vma_link, vma_adjust, move_one_page.

If unmap_mapping_range (and mapping->truncate_count) are doing their jobs right, truncate_complete_page should never find the page mapped: add BUG_ON for our immediate testing, but this patch should probably not go to mainline - a mapped page here is not a catastrophe. Signed-off-by:

Fix some unlikely races in respect of vm_truncate_count. Firstly, it's supposed to be guarded by i_mmap_lock, but some places copy a vma structure by *new_vma = *old_vma: if the compiler implements that with a bytewise copy, new_vma->vm_truncate_count could be munged, and new_vma later appear up-to-date when it's not; so set it properly once under lock. vma_link set vm_truncate_count to mapping->truncate_count when adding an empty vma: if new vmas are being added profusely while vmtruncate is in progess, this lets them be skipped without scanning. vma_adjust has vm_truncate_count problem much like it had with anon_vma under mprotect merge: when merging be careful not to leave vma marked as up-to-date when it might not be, lest unmap_mapping_range in progress - set vm_truncate_count 0 when in doubt. Similarly when mremap moving ptes from one vma to another. Cut a little code from __anon_vma_merge: now vma_adjust sets "importer" in the remove_next case (to get its vm_truncate_count right), its anon_vma is already linked by the time __anon_vma_merge is called.

vmtruncate (or more generally, unmap_mapping_range) has been observed responsible for very high latencies: the lockbreak work in unmap_vmas is good for munmap or exit_mmap, but no use while mapping->i_mmap_lock is held, to keep our place in the prio_tree (or list) of a file's vmas. Extend the zap_details block with i_mmap_lock pointer, so unmap_vmas can detect if that needs lockbreak, and break_addr so it can notify where it left off. Add unmap_mapping_range_vma, used from both prio_tree and nonlinear list handlers. This is what now calls zap_page_range (above unmap_vmas), but handles the lockbreak and restart issues: letting unmap_mapping_range_ tree or list know when they need to start over because lock was dropped. When restarting, of course there's a danger of never making progress. Add vm_truncate_count field to vm_area_struct, update that to mapping-> truncate_count once fully scanned, skip up-to-date vmas without a scan (and without dropping i_mmap_lock). Further danger of never making progress if a vma is very large: when breaking out, save restart_vma and restart_addr (and restart_pgoff to confirm, in case vma gets reused), to help continue where we left off.

The low-latency unmap_vmas patch silently moved the zap_bytes test after the TLB finish and lockbreak and regather: why? That not only makes zap_bytes redundant (might as well use ZAP_BLOCK_SIZE), it makes the unmap_vmas level redundant too - it's all about saving TLB flushes when unmapping a series of small vmas. Move zap_bytes test back before the lockbreak, and delete the curious comment that a small zap block size doesn't matter: it's true need_flush prevents TLB flush when no page has been unmapped, but unmapping pages in small blocks involves many more TLB flushes than in large blocks.

Why is mapping->truncate_count atomic? It's incremented inside i_mmap_lock (and i_sem), and the reads don't need it to be atomic. And why smp_rmb() before call to ->nopage? The compiler cannot reorder the initial assignment of sequence after the call to ->nopage, and no cpu (yet!) can read from the future, which is all that matters there. And delete totally bogus reset of truncate_count from blkmtd add_device. truncate_count is all about detecting i_size changes: i_size does not change there; and if it did, the count should be incremented not reset.
