The original goal of this patchset is to fix the bug reported by https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53501 Now it has also been expanded to reduce common code used by memory initializion. This is the first part, which applies to v3.9-rc1. It introduces following common helper functions to simplify free_initmem() and free_initrd_mem() on different architectures: adjust_managed_page_count(): will be used to adjust totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages, zone->managed_pages when reserving/unresering a page. __free_reserved_page(): free a reserved page into the buddy system without adjusting page statistics info free_reserved_page(): free a reserved page into the buddy system and adjust page statistics info mark_page_reserved(): mark a page as reserved and adjust page statistics info free_reserved_area(): free a continous ranges of pages by calling free_reserved_page() free_initmem_default(): default method to free __init pages. We have only tested these patchset on x86 platforms, and have done basic compliation tests using cross-compilers from ftp.kernel.org. That means some code may not pass compilation on some architectures. So any help to test this patchset are welcomed! There are several other parts still under development: Part2: introduce free_highmem_page() to simplify freeing highmem pages Part3: refine code to manage totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and zone->managed_pages Part4: introduce helper functions to simplify mem_init() and remove the global variable num_physpages. This patch: Code to deal with reserved/managed pages are duplicated by many architectures, so introduce common help functions to reduce duplicated code. These common help functions will also be used to concentrate code to modify totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages, which makes the code much more clear.

Currently, dio_send_cur_page() submits bio before current page and cached sdio->cur_page is added to the bio if sdio->boundary is set. This is actually wrong because sdio->boundary means the current buffer is the last one before metadata needs to be read. So we should rather submit the bio after the current page is added to it.

When we read/write a file sequentially, we will read/write not only the data blocks but also the indirect blocks that may not be physically adjacent to the data blocks. So filesystems set the BH_Boundary flag to submit the previous I/O before reading/writing an indirect block. However the generic direct IO code mishandles buffer_boundary(), setting sdio->boundary before each submit_page_section() call which results in sending only one page bios as underlying code thinks this page is the last in the contiguous extent. So fix the problem by setting sdio->boundary only if the current page is really the last one in the mapped extent. With this patch and "direct-io: submit bio after boundary buffer is added to it" I've measured about 10% throughput improvement of direct IO reads on ext3 with SATA harddrive (from 90 MB/s to 100 MB/s). With ramdisk, the improvement was about 3-fold (from 350 MB/s to 1.2 GB/s). For other filesystems (such as ext4), the improvements won't be as visible because the frequency of BH_Boundary flag being set is much smaller.

Vineet Gupta authored
This came to light when calling memblock allocator from arc port (for copying flattended DT). If a "0" alignment is passed, the allocator round_up() call incorrectly rounds up the size to 0. round_up(num, alignto) => ((num - 1) | (alignto -1)) + 1 While the obvious allocation failure causes kernel to panic, it is better to warn the caller to fix the code. Tejun suggested that instead of BUG_ON(!align) - which might be ineffective due to pending console init and such, it is better to WARN_ON, and continue the boot with a reasonable default align. Caller passing @size need not be handled similarly as the subsequent panic will indicate that anyhow.

Paul E. McKenney authored
There is an ifdef in page_cache_get_speculative() that checks for !SMP and TREE_RCU, which has been an impossible combination since the advent of TINY_RCU. The ifdef enables a fastpath that is valid when preemption is disabled by rcu_read_lock() in UP systems, which is the case when TINY_RCU is enabled. This commit therefore adjusts the ifdef to generate the fastpath when TINY_RCU is enabled. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

David Rientjes authored
On large systems with a lot of memory, walking all RAM to determine page types may take a half second or even more. In non-blockable contexts, the page allocator will emit a page allocation failure warning unless __GFP_NOWARN is specified. In such contexts, irqs are typically disabled and such a lengthy delay may even result in NMI watchdog timeouts. To fix this, suppress the page walk in such contexts when printing the page allocation failure warning.

Use the events API to trace filemap loading and unloading of file pieces into the page cache. This patch aims at tracing the eviction reload cycle of executable and shared libraries pages in a memory constrained environment. The typical usage is to spot a specific device and inode (for example /lib/libc.so) to see the eviction cycles, and find out if frequently used code is rather spread across many pages (bad) or coallesced (good).

Currently page_action() does not check dirty flag to determine whether the error page is "clean mlocked/unevictable LRU" page. This doesn't cause any misjudgement because we do matching against "dirty mlocked/unevictable LRU" just before the check. But in order to make code consistent and/or to avoid potential regression, we had better check dirty flag explicitly.

The WARN_ON(1) in DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON is surprisingly awkward to track down when it's hit, as it's usually buried in macros, causing multiple instances to land on the same line number. This patch makes it more useful by switching to: WARN(1, "DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(%s)", #c); so that the particular DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON is more easily identified and grep'd for. For example: WARNING: at kernel/mutex.c:198 _mutex_lock_nested+0x31c/0x380() DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(l->magic != l) Signed-off-by: James Hogan <james.hogan@imgtec.com> Cc: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

It can accidentally happen that the faulting insn (the exact instruction bytes) is repeated a little further on in the trace. This causes that same instruction to be tagged twice, see example below. What we want to do, however, is to track back from the end of the whole disassembly so many lines as the slice which starts with the faulting instruction is long. This leads us to the actual faulting instruction and *then* we tag it. While we're at it, we can drop the sed "g" flag because we address only this one line. Also, if we point to an instruction which changes decoding depending on the slice being objdumped, like a Jcc insn, for example, we do not even tag it as a faulting instruction because the instruction decode changes in the second slice but we use that second format as a regex on the fsrst disassembled buffer and more often than not that instruction doesn't match. Again, simply tag the line which is deduced from the original "<>" marking we've received from the kernel. This also solves the pathologic issue of multiple tagging like this: 29:* 0f 0b ud2 <-- trapping instruction 2b:* 0f 0b ud2 <-- trapping instruction 2d:* 0f 0b ud2 <-- trapping instruction Double tagging example: Code: 34 dd 40 30 ad 81 48 c7 c0 80 f6 00 00 48 8b 3c 30 48 01 c6 b8 ff ff ff ff 48 8d 57 f0 48 39 f7 74 2f 49 8b 4c 24 08 48 8b 47 f0 <48> 39 48 08 75 0e eb 2a 66 90 48 8b 40 f0 48 39 48 08 74 1e 48 All code ======== 0: 34 dd xor $0xdd,%al 2: 40 30 ad 81 48 c7 c0 xor %bpl,-0x3f38b77f(%rbp) 9: 80 f6 00 xor $0x0,%dh c: 00 48 8b add %cl,-0x75(%rax) f: 3c 30 cmp $0x30,%al 11: 48 01 c6 add %rax,%rsi 14: b8 ff ff ff ff mov $0xffffffff,%eax 19: 48 8d 57 f0 lea -0x10(%rdi),%rdx 1d: 48 39 f7 cmp %rsi,%rdi 20: 74 2f je 0x51 22: 49 8b 4c 24 08 mov 0x8(%r12),%rcx 27: 48 8b 47 f0 mov -0x10(%rdi),%rax 2b:* 48 39 48 08 cmp %rcx,0x8(%rax) <-- trapping instruction 2f: 75 0e jne 0x3f 31: eb 2a jmp 0x5d 33: 66 90 xchg %ax,%ax 35: 48 8b 40 f0 mov -0x10(%rax),%rax 39:* 48 39 48 08 cmp %rcx,0x8(%rax) <-- trapping instruction 3d: 74 1e je 0x5d 3f: 48 rex.W Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Cc: "H.

task_get_live_kthread() looks confusing and unneeded. It does get_task_struct() but only kthread_stop() needs this, it can be called even if the calller doesn't have a reference when we know that this kthread can't exit until we do kthread_stop(). kthread_park() and kthread_unpark() do not need get_task_struct(), the callers already have the reference. And it can not help if we can race with the exiting kthread anyway, kthread_park() can hang forever in this case. Change kthread_park() and kthread_unpark() to use to_live_kthread(), change kthread_stop() to do get_task_struct() by hand and remove task_get_live_kthread().

"k->vfork_done != NULL" with a barrier() after to_kthread(k) in task_get_live_kthread(k) looks unclear, and sub-optimal because we load ->vfork_done twice. All we need is to ensure that we do not return to_kthread(NULL). Add a new trivial helper which loads/checks ->vfork_done once, this also looks more understandable.
