In get_sample_period(), unsigned long is not enough: watchdog_thresh * 2 * (NSEC_PER_SEC / 5) case1: watchdog_thresh is 10 by default, the sample value will be: 0xEE6B2800 case2: set watchdog_thresh is 20, the sample value will be: 0x1 DCD6 5000 In case2, we need use u64 to express the sample period. Otherwise, changing the threshold thru proc often can not be successful.

Commit 169ebd90 ("writeback: Avoid iput() from flusher thread") removed iget-iput pair from inode writeback. As a side effect, inodes that are dirty during iput_final() call won't be ever added to inode LRU (iput_final() doesn't add dirty inodes to LRU and later when the inode is cleaned there's noone to add the inode there). Thus inodes are effectively unreclaimable until someone looks them up again. The practical effect of this bug is limited by the fact that inodes are pinned by a dentry for long enough that the inode gets cleaned. But still the bug can have nasty consequences leading up to OOM conditions under certain circumstances. Following can easily reproduce the problem: for (( i = 0; i < 1000; i++ )); do mkdir $i for (( j = 0; j < 1000; j++ )); do touch $i/$j echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches done done then one needs to run 'sync; ls -lR' to make inodes reclaimable again. We fix the issue by inserting unused clean inodes into the LRU after writeback finishes in inode_sync_complete().

Commit 5515061d ("mm: throttle direct reclaimers if PF_MEMALLOC reserves are low and swap is backed by network storage") introduced a check for fatal signals after a process gets throttled for network storage. The intention was that if a process was throttled and got killed that it should not trigger the OOM killer. As pointed out by Minchan Kim and David Rientjes, this check is in the wrong place and too broad. If a system is in am OOM situation and a process is exiting, it can loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath() and calling direct reclaim in a loop. As the fatal signal is pending it returns 1 as if it is making forward progress and can effectively deadlock. This patch moves the fatal_signal_pending() check after throttling to throttle_direct_reclaim() where it belongs. If the process is killed while throttled, it will return immediately without direct reclaim except now it will have TIF_MEMDIE set and will use the PFMEMALLOC reserves. Minchan pointed out that it may be better to direct reclaim before returning to avoid using the reserves because there may be pages that can easily reclaim that would avoid using the reserves. However, we do no such targetted reclaim and there is no guarantee that suitable pages are available. As it is expected that this throttling happens when swap-over-NFS is used there is a possibility that the process will instead swap which may allocate network buffers from the PFMEMALLOC reserves. Hence, in the swap-over-nfs case where a process can be throtted and be killed it can use the reserves to exit or it can potentially use reserves to swap a few pages and then exit. This patch takes the option of using the reserves if necessary to allow the process exit quickly. If this patch passes review it should be considered a -stable candidate for 3.6.

With "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction based on failures" reverted, Zdenek Kabelac reported the following Hmm, so it's just took longer to hit the problem and observe kswapd0 spinning on my CPU again - it's not as endless like before - but still it easily eats minutes - it helps to turn off Firefox or TB (memory hungry apps) so kswapd0 stops soon - and restart those apps again. (And I still have like >1GB of cached memory) kswapd0 R running task 0 30 2 0x00000000 Call Trace: preempt_schedule+0x42/0x60 _raw_spin_unlock+0x55/0x60 put_super+0x31/0x40 drop_super+0x22/0x30 prune_super+0x149/0x1b0 shrink_slab+0xba/0x510 The sysrq+m indicates the system has no swap so it'll never reclaim anonymous pages as part of reclaim/compaction. That is one part of the problem but not the root cause as file-backed pages could also be reclaimed. The likely underlying problem is that kswapd is woken up or kept awake for each THP allocation request in the page allocator slow path. If compaction fails for the requesting process then compaction will be deferred for a time and direct reclaim is avoided. However, if there are a storm of THP requests that are simply rejected, it will still be the the case that kswapd is awake for a prolonged period of time as pgdat->kswapd_max_order is updated each time. This is noticed by the main kswapd() loop and it will not call kswapd_try_to_sleep(). Instead it will loopp, shrinking a small number of pages and calling shrink_slab() on each iteration. The temptation is to supply a patch that checks if kswapd was woken for THP and if so ignore pgdat->kswapd_max_order but it'll be a hack and not backed up by proper testing. As 3.7 is very close to release and this is not a bug we should release with, a safer path is to revert "mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD" for now and revisit it with the view to ironing out the balance_pgdat() logic in general.

Commit 7b540d06 ("proc_map_files_readdir(): don't bother with grabbing files") switched proc_map_files_readdir() to use @f_mode directly instead of grabbing @file reference, but same time the test for @vm_file presence was lost leading to nil dereference. The patch brings the test back. The all proc_map_files feature is CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE wrapped (which is set to 'n' by default) so the bug doesn't affect regular kernels. The regression is 3.7-rc1 only as far as I can tell.

While the EEH does recovery on the specific PE that has PCI errors, the PCI devices belonging to the PE will be removed and the PE will be marked as invalid since we still need the information stored in the PE. We only invalidate the PE when it doesn't have associated EEH devices and valid child PEs. However, the code used to check that is wrong. The patch fixes that.

I'd have recommitted that to make it somewhat cleaner, but figured by this point in the release cycle it was better to merge *exactly* the commits which have been in linux-next. If I'd recommitted, I'd also omit the sparse warning fix. But it's there, and it's harmless — just marking one function as 'static' in onenand code.

This bug-fix makes sure that of_iomap is defined extern for sparc so that the sparc-specific implementation of_iomap is once again used when including include/linux/of_address.h in a sparc context. OF_GPIO that is now available for sparc relies on this. The bug was inadvertently introduced in a850a755, "of/address: add empty static inlines for !CONFIG_OF", that added a static dummy inline for of_iomap when !CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS. However, CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS is never defined for sparc, but there is a sparc-specific implementation /arch/sparc/kernel/of_device_common.c. This fix takes the same approach as 0bce04be that solved the equivalent problem for of_address_to_resource.

dev_pm_qos_add_request() can return 0, 1, or a negative error code, therefore the correct error test is "if (error < 0)." Checking just for non-zero return code leads to erroneous setting of the req->dev pointer to NULL, which then leads to a repeated call to dev_pm_qos_add_ancestor_request() in st1232_ts_irq_handler(). This in turn leads to an Oops, when the I2C host adapter is unloaded and reloaded again because of the inconsistent state of its QoS request list.

After we've done __elv_add_request() and __blk_run_queue() in blk_execute_rq_nowait(), the request might finish and be freed immediately. Therefore checking if the type is REQ_TYPE_PM_RESUME isn't safe afterwards, because if it isn't, rq might be gone. Instead, check beforehand and stash the result in a temporary. This fixes crashes in blk_execute_rq_nowait() I get occasionally when running with lots of memory debugging options enabled -- I think this race is usually harmless because the window for rq to be reallocated is so small.

Use the __blk_run_queue function instead of calling the request handler directly, so that we don't interfere with the block layer's ability to plug the queue.

Earlier lba address was assigned directly to lba_low and lba_low_ex, which would result in a different number (bytes reversed) in big-endian systems. Now assigning lba address byte-by-byte to fis.
