Commit de33c8db ("Fix OOPS in mmap_region() when merging adjacent VM_LOCKED file segments") unified the vma merging of anonymous and file maps to just one place, which simplified the code and fixed a use-after-free bug that could cause an oops. But by doing the merge opportunistically before even having called ->mmap() on the file method, it now compares two different 'vm_flags' values: the pre-mmap() value of the new not-yet-formed vma, and previous mappings of the same file around it. And in doing so, it refused to merge the common file case, which adds a marker to say "I can be made non-linear". This fixes it by just adding a set of flags that don't have to match, because we know they are ok to merge. Currently it's only that single VM_CAN_NONLINEAR flag, but at least conceptually there could be others in the future.

This patch adds the ability to pre-empt an ongoing BE timeslice when a RT request is waiting for the current timeslice to complete. This reduces the wait time to disk for RT requests from an upper bound of 4 (current value of cfq_quantum) to 1 disk request. Applied Jens' suggeested changes to avoid the rb lookup and use !cfq_class_rt() and retested. Latency(secs) for the RT task when doing sequential reads from 10G file. | only RT | RT + BE | RT + BE + this patch small (512 byte) reads | 143 | 163 | 145 large (1Mb) reads | 142 | 158 | 146 Signed-off-by: Divyesh Shah <dpshah@google.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

bsg.h in current form is perfectly suitable for user-mode consumption. It is needed together with scsi/sg.h for applications that want to interface with the bsg driver. Currently the few projects that use it would copy it over into the projects. But that is not acceptable for projects that need to provide source and devel packages for distros. This should also be submitted to stable 2.6.28 and 2.6.27 since bsg had a stable API since these Kernels and distro users will need the header for these kernels a swell Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com> Acked-by: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp> CC: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

The existing functions for checking bio->bi_rw are badly named. So lets mirror what we do for bio->bi_flags testing, use a properly named function so that it's immediately obvious what is being tested. Maintain compatability names for the old macros, eventually we'll get rid of these. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

For some devices (i.e. CFA ATA) we can't reliably detect whether the device is of rotational or non-rotational type so we need to leave the final decision about this setting to the user-space. As a bonus do a minor CodingStyle fixup in queue_nomerges_store().

The code to support journal-less ext4 operation added a BUG to ext4_bmap() which fired if there was no journal and the EXT4_STATE_JDATA bit was set in the i_state field. This caused running the filefrag program (which uses the FIMBAP ioctl) to trigger a BUG(). The EXT4_STATE_JDATA bit is only used for ext4_bmap(), and it's harmless for the bit to be set. We could add a check in __ext4_journalled_writepage() and ext4_journalled_write_end() to only set the EXT4_STATE_JDATA bit if the journal is present, but that adds an extra test and jump instruction. It's easier to simply remove the BUG check. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12568Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@kernel.org

With the previous Emacs tips example the kernel style was made available for files in the kernel-tree only. This patch updates the tip to add a separate cc-mode indent style ("linux-tabs-only"). This makes it easy to switch between different indent styles and also makes the kernel style easily available for any filetype mode (c++, awk, ...) that is managed by the Emacs cc-mode.

Linus suggested to put limits where the money is, and max_user_watches already does that w/out the need of max_user_instances. That has the advantage to mitigate the potential DoS while allowing pretty generous default behavior. Allowing top 4% of low memory (per user) to be allocated in epoll watches, we have: LOMEM MAX_WATCHES (per user) 512MB ~178000 1GB ~356000 2GB ~712000 A box with 512MB of lomem, will meet some challenge in hitting 180K watches, socket buffers math teaches us. No more max_user_instances limits then.
