This changes the anon_vma reuse case to require that we only reuse simple anon_vma's - ie the case when the vma only has a single anon_vma associated with it. This means that a reuse of an anon_vma from an adjacent vma will always guarantee that both vma's are associated not only with the same anon_vma, they will also have the same anon_vma chain (of just a single entry in this case). And since anon_vma re-use was the only case where the same anon_vma might be associated with different chains of anon_vma's, we now have the case that every vma that shares the same anon_vma will always also have the same chain. That makes it much easier to think about merging vma's that share the same anon_vma's: you can always just drop the other anon_vma chain in anon_vma_merge() since you know that they are always identical. This also splits up the function to validate the anon_vma re-use, and adds a lot of commentary about the possible races. Reviewed-by:

radix_tree_tag_get() is not safe to use concurrently with radix_tree_tag_set() or radix_tree_tag_clear(). The problem is that the double tag_get() in radix_tree_tag_get(): if (!tag_get(node, tag, offset)) saw_unset_tag = 1; if (height == 1) { int ret = tag_get(node, tag, offset); may see the value change due to the action of set/clear. RCU is no protection against this as no pointers are being changed, no nodes are being replaced according to a COW protocol - set/clear alter the node directly. The documentation in linux/radix-tree.h, however, says that radix_tree_tag_get() is an exception to the rule that "any function modifying the tree or tags (...) must exclude other modifications, and exclude any functions reading the tree". The problem is that the next statement in radix_tree_tag_get() checks that the tag doesn't vary over time: BUG_ON(ret && saw_unset_tag); This has been seen happening in FS-Cache: https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-cachefs/2010-April/msg00013.html To this end, remove the BUG_ON() from radix_tree_tag_get() and note in various comments that the value of the tag may change whilst the RCU read lock is held, and thus that the return value of radix_tree_tag_get() may not be relied upon unless radix_tree_tag_set/clear() and radix_tree_delete() are excluded from running concurrently with it.

As suggested by Linus, fix up kmem_ptr_validate() to handle non-kernel pointers more graciously. The patch changes kmem_ptr_validate() to use the newly introduced kern_ptr_validate() helper to check that a pointer is a valid kernel pointer before we attempt to convert it into a 'struct page'.

The default size of the vmalloc area is currently 1 GB. The memory resource controller uses about 10 MB of vmalloc space per gigabyte of memory. That turns a system with more than ~100 GB memory unbootable with the default vmalloc size. It costs us nothing to increase the default size to some more adequate value, e.g. 128 GB. Signed-off-by: -

commit 6a985c61 ([S390] s390: use change recording override for kernel mapping) deactivated the change bit recording for the kernel mapping to improve the performance. This works most of the time, but there are cases (e.g. kernel runs in home space, futex atomic compare xcmg) where we modify user memory with the kernel mapping instead of the user mapping. Instead of fixing these cases, this patch just deactivates change bit override to avoid future problems with other kernel code that might use the kernel mapping for user memory.

If a machine check interrupts the io interrupt handler on one of the instructions between io_return and io_leave the critical section cleanup code will move the return psw to io_work_loop. By doing that the switch from the asynchronous interrupt stack to the process stack is skipped. If e.g. TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set things break because the scheduler is called with the asynchronous interrupts stack. Moving the psw back to io_return instead fixes the problem. Signed-off-by: -

In the default case the lock is not unlocked. The return is converted to a goto, to share the unlock at the end of the function. A simplified version of the semantic patch that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r exists@ expression E1; identifier f; @@ f (...) { <+... * spin_lock_irq (E1,...); ... when != E1 * return ...; ...+> } // </smpl> Signed-off-by:

When CFQ dispatches requests forcefully due to a barrier or changing iosched, it runs through all cfqq's dispatching requests and then expires each queue. However, it does not activate a cfqq before flushing its IOs resulting in using stale values for computing slice_used. This patch fixes it by calling activate queue before flushing reuqests from each queue. This is useful mostly for barrier requests because when the iosched is changing it really doesnt matter if we have incorrect accounting since we're going to break down all structures anyway. We also now expire the current timeslice before moving on with the dispatch to accurately account slice used for that cfqq.

This value interacts with some registers we don't currently know how to program properly ourselves. The default of 5 that we were using matches what the VBIOS on early DP cards do, but later ones use 6, which would cause nouveau to program an incorrect mode on these chips. Signed-off-by: -
