This reverts commit e5a2c899. Commit e5a2c899 introduced an alternative_call, arch_fast_hash2, that selects between __jhash2 and __intel_crc4_2_hash based on the X86_FEATURE_XMM4_2. Unfortunately, the alternative_call system does not appear to be suitable for use with C functions, as register usage is not handled properly for the called functions. The __jhash2 function in particular clobbers registers that are not preserved when called via alternative_call, resulting in a panic for direct callers of arch_fast_hash2 on older CPUs lacking sse4_2. It is possible that __intel_crc4_2_hash works merely by chance because it uses fewer registers. This commit was suggested as the source of the problem by Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com>.

In free_area_init_core(), zone->managed_pages is set to an approximate value for lowmem, and will be adjusted when the bootmem allocator frees pages into the buddy system. But free_area_init_core() is also called by hotadd_new_pgdat() when hot-adding memory. As a result, zone->managed_pages of the newly added node's pgdat is set to an approximate value in the very beginning. Even if the memory on that node has node been onlined, /sys/device/system/node/nodeXXX/meminfo has wrong value: hot-add node2 (memory not onlined) cat /sys/device/system/node/node2/meminfo Node 2 MemTotal: 33554432 kB Node 2 MemFree: 0 kB Node 2 MemUsed: 33554432 kB Node 2 Active: 0 kB This patch fixes this problem by reset node managed pages to 0 after hot-adding a new node. 1.

One thing I did in this patch is fixing freepage accounting. If we clear guard page and link it onto isolate buddy list, we should not increase freepage count. This patch adds conditional branch to skip counting in this case. Without this patch, this overcounting happens frequently if guard order is set and CMA is used. Another thing fixed in this patch is the target to reset order. In __free_one_page(), we check the buddy page whether it is a guard page or not. And, if so, we should clear guard attribute on the buddy page and reset order of it to 0. But, current code resets original page's order rather than buddy one's. Maybe, this doesn't have any problem, because whole merged page's order will be re-assigned soon. But, it is better to correct code. Signed-off-by:

fsnotify() needs to merge inode and mount marks lists when notifying groups about events so that ignore masks from inode marks are reflected in mount mark notifications and groups are notified in proper order (according to priorities). Currently the sorting of the lists done by fsnotify_add_inode_mark() / fsnotify_add_vfsmount_mark() and fsnotify() differed which resulted ignore masks not being used in some cases. Fix the problem by always using the same comparison function when sorting / merging the mark lists. Thanks to Heinrich Schuchardt for improvements of my patch.

Several people have reported occasionally seeing processes stuck in compact_zone(), even triggering soft lockups, in 3.18-rc2+. Testing a revert of commit e14c720e ("mm, compaction: remember position within pageblock in free pages scanner") fixed the issue, although the stuck processes do not appear to involve the free scanner. Finally, by code inspection, the bug was found in isolate_migratepages() which uses a slightly different condition to detect if the migration and free scanners have met, than compact_finished(). That has not been a problem until commit e14c720e allowed the free scanner position between individual invocations to be in the middle of a pageblock. In a relatively rare case, the migration scanner position can end up at the beginning of a pageblock, with the free scanner position in the middle of the same pageblock. If it's the migration scanner's turn, isolate_migratepages() exits immediately (without updating the position), while compact_finished() decides to continue compaction, resulting in a potentially infinite loop. The system can recover only if another process creates enough high-order pages to make the watermark checks in compact_finished() pass. This patch fixes the immediate problem by bumping the migration scanner's position to meet the free scanner in isolate_migratepages(), when both are within the same pageblock. This causes compact_finished() to terminate properly. A more robust check in compact_finished() is planned as a cleanup for better future maintainability.

Having test_pages_isolated failure message as a warning confuses users into thinking that it is more serious than it really is. In reality, if called via CMA, allocation will be retried so a single test_pages_isolated failure does not prevent allocation from succeeding. Demote the warning message to an info message and reformat it such that the text "failed" does not appear and instead a less worrying "PFNS busy" is used. This message is trivially reproducible on a 10GB x86 machine on 3.16.y kernels configured with CONFIG_DMA_CMA. Signed-off-by:

Unlike SLUB, sometimes, object isn't started at the beginning of the slab in SLAB.

Current pageblock isolation logic could isolate each pageblock individually. This causes freepage accounting problem if freepage with pageblock order on isolate pageblock is merged with other freepage on normal pageblock. We can prevent merging by restricting max order of merging to pageblock order if freepage is on isolate pageblock. A side-effect of this change is that there could be non-merged buddy freepage even if finishing pageblock isolation, because undoing pageblock isolation is just to move freepage from isolate buddy list to normal buddy list rather than to consider merging. So, the patch also makes undoing pageblock isolation consider freepage merge. When un-isolation, freepage with more than pageblock order and it's buddy are checked. If they are on normal pageblock, instead of just moving, we isolate the freepage and free it in order to get merged. Signed-off-by:

All the caller of __free_one_page() has similar freepage counting logic, so we can move it to __free_one_page(). This reduce line of code and help future maintenance. This is also preparation step for "mm/page_alloc: restrict max order of merging on isolated pageblock" which fix the freepage counting problem on freepage with more than pageblock order.

In free_pcppages_bulk(), we use cached migratetype of freepage to determine type of buddy list where freepage will be added. This information is stored when freepage is added to pcp list, so if isolation of pageblock of this freepage begins after storing, this cached information could be stale. In other words, it has original migratetype rather than MIGRATE_ISOLATE. There are two problems caused by this stale information. One is that we can't keep these freepages from being allocated. Although this pageblock is isolated, freepage will be added to normal buddy list so that it could be allocated without any restriction. And the other problem is incorrect freepage accounting. Freepages on isolate pageblock should not be counted for number of freepage. Following is the code snippet in free_pcppages_bulk(). /* MIGRATE_MOVABLE list may include MIGRATE_RESERVEs */ __free_one_page(page, page_to_pfn(page), zone, 0, mt); trace_mm_page_pcpu_drain(page, 0, mt); if (likely(!is_migrate_isolate_page(page))) { __mod_zone_page_state(zone, NR_FREE_PAGES, 1); if (is_migrate_cma(mt)) __mod_zone_page_state(zone, NR_FREE_CMA_PAGES, 1); } As you can see above snippet, current code already handle second problem, incorrect freepage accounting, by re-fetching pageblock migratetype through is_migrate_isolate_page(page). But, because this re-fetched information isn't used for __free_one_page(), first problem would not be solved. This patch try to solve this situation to re-fetch pageblock migratetype before __free_one_page() and to use it for __free_one_page(). In addition to move up position of this re-fetch, this patch use optimization technique, re-fetching migratetype only if there is isolate pageblock. Pageblock isolation is rare event, so we can avoid re-fetching in common case with this optimization. This patch also correct migratetype of the tracepoint output.

Before describing bugs itself, I first explain definition of freepage. 1. pages on buddy list are counted as freepage. 2. pages on isolate migratetype buddy list are *not* counted as freepage. 3. pages on cma buddy list are counted as CMA freepage, too. Now, I describe problems and related patch. Patch 1: There is race conditions on getting pageblock migratetype that it results in misplacement of freepages on buddy list, incorrect freepage count and un-availability of freepage. Patch 2: Freepages on pcp list could have stale cached information to determine migratetype of buddy list to go. This causes misplacement of freepages on buddy list and incorrect freepage count. Patch 4: Merging between freepages on different migratetype of pageblocks will cause freepages accouting problem. This patch fixes it. Without patchset [3], above problem doesn't happens on my CMA allocation test, because CMA reserved pages aren't used at all. So there is no chance for above race. With patchset [3], I did simple CMA allocation test and get below result: - Virtual machine, 4 cpus, 1024 MB memory, 256 MB CMA reservation - run kernel build (make -j16) on background - 30 times CMA allocation(8MB * 30 = 240MB) attempts in 5 sec interval - Result: more than 5000 freepage count are missed With patchset [3] and this patchset, I found that no freepage count are missed so that I conclude that problems are solved. On my simple memory offlining test, these problems also occur on that environment, too. This patch (of 4): There are two paths to reach core free function of buddy allocator, __free_one_page(), one is free_one_page()->__free_one_page() and the other is free_hot_cold_page()->free_pcppages_bulk()->__free_one_page(). Each paths has race condition causing serious problems. At first, this patch is focused on first type of freepath. And then, following patch will solve the problem in second type of freepath. In the first type of freepath, we got migratetype of freeing page without holding the zone lock, so it could be racy. There are two cases of this race. 1. pages are added to isolate buddy list after restoring orignal migratetype CPU1 CPU2 get migratetype => return MIGRATE_ISOLATE call free_one_page() with MIGRATE_ISOLATE grab the zone lock unisolate pageblock release the zone lock grab the zone lock call __free_one_page() with MIGRATE_ISOLATE freepage go into isolate buddy list, although pageblock is already unisolated This may cause two problems. One is that we can't use this page anymore until next isolation attempt of this pageblock, because freepage is on isolate buddy list. The other is that freepage accouting could be wrong due to merging between different buddy list. Freepages on isolate buddy list aren't counted as freepage, but ones on normal buddy list are counted as freepage. If merge happens, buddy freepage on normal buddy list is inevitably moved to isolate buddy list without any consideration of freepage accouting so it could be incorrect. 2. pages are added to normal buddy list while pageblock is isolated. It is similar with above case. This also may cause two problems. One is that we can't keep these freepages from being allocated. Although this pageblock is isolated, freepage would be added to normal buddy list so that it could be allocated without any restriction. And the other problem is same as case 1, that it, incorrect freepage accouting. This race condition would be prevented by checking migratetype again with holding the zone lock. Because it is somewhat heavy operation and it isn't needed in common case, we want to avoid rechecking as much as possible. So this patch introduce new variable, nr_isolate_pageblock in struct zone to check if there is isolated pageblock. With this, we can avoid to re-check migratetype in common case and do it only if there is isolated pageblock or migratetype is MIGRATE_ISOLATE. This solve above mentioned problems. Changes from v3: Add one more check in free_one_page() that checks whether migratetype is MIGRATE_ISOLATE or not. Without this, abovementioned case 1 could happens. Signed-off-by: -

Commit 7d49d886 ("mm, compaction: reduce zone checking frequency in the migration scanner") has a side-effect that changes the iteration range calculation. Before the change, block_end_pfn is calculated using start_pfn, but now it blindly adds pageblock_nr_pages to the previous value. This causes the problem that isolation_start_pfn is larger than block_end_pfn when we isolate the page with more than pageblock order. In this case, isolation would fail due to an invalid range parameter. To prevent this, this patch implements skipping the range until a proper target pageblock is met. Without this patch, CMA with more than pageblock order always fails but with this patch it will succeed. Signed-off-by:

In DC world, GSO packets initially cooked by tcp_sendmsg() are usually big, as sk_pacing_rate is high. When network is congested, cwnd can be smaller than the GSO packets found in socket write queue. tcp_write_xmit() splits GSO packets using the available cwnd, and we end up sending a single GSO packet, consuming all available cwnd. With GRO aggregation on the receiver, we might handle a single GRO packet, sending back a single ACK. 1) This single ACK might be lost TLP or RTO are forced to attempt a retransmit. 2) This ACK releases a full cwnd, sender sends another big GSO packet, in a ping pong mode. This behavior does not fill the pipes in the best way, because of scheduling artifacts. Make sure we always have at least two GSO packets in flight. This allows us to safely increase GRO efficiency without risking spurious retransmits. Signed-off-by:

Reallocation is only required for shrinking and expanding and both rely on a mutex for synchronization and callers of rhashtable_init() are in non atomic context. Therefore, no reason to continue passing allocation hints through the API. Instead, use GFP_KERNEL and add __GFP_NOWARN | __GFP_NORETRY to allow for silent fall back to vzalloc() without the OOM killer jumping in as pointed out by Eric Dumazet and Eric W. Biederman.

Or Gerlitz says: ==================== mlx4: Flexible (asymmetric) allocation of EQs and MSI-X vectors This series from Matan Barak is built as follows: The 1st two patches fix small bugs w.r.t firmware spec. Next are two patches which do more re-factoring of the init/fini flow and a patch that adds support for the QUERY_FUNC firmware command, these are all pre-steps for the major patch of the series. In this patch (#6) we change the order of talking/querying the firmware and enabling SRIOV. This allows to remote worst-case assumption w.r.t the number of available MSI-X vectors and EQs per function. The last patch easily enjoys this ordering change, to enable supports > 64 VFs over a firmware that allows for that. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

We now allow up to 126 VFs. Note though that certain firmware versions only allow up to 80 VFs. Moreover, old HCAs only support 64 VFs. In these cases, we limit the maximum number of VFs to 64. Signed-off-by:

Previously, the driver queried the firmware in order to get the number of supported EQs. Under SRIOV, since this was done before the driver notified the firmware how many VFs it actually needs, the firmware had to take into account a worst case scenario and always allocated four EQs per VF, where one was used for events while the others were used for completions. Now, when the firmware supports the asymmetric allocation scheme, denoted by exposing num_sys_eqs > 0 (--> MLX4_DEV_CAP_FLAG2_SYS_EQS), we use the QUERY_FUNC command to query the firmware before enabling SRIOV. Thus we can get more EQs and MSI-X vectors per function. Moreover, when running in the new firmware/driver mode, the limitation that the number of EQs should be a power of two is lifted.

Refactor mlx4_load_one, as a preparation step for a new and more complicated load function. The goal is to support both newer firmware that required init_hca to be done before enable_sriov and legacy firmwares that requires things to be done the other way around. Signed-off-by:

Refactoring mlx4_cmd_init and mlx4_cmd_cleanup such that partial init and cleanup are possible. After this refactoring, calling mlx4_cmd_init several times is safe. This is necessary in the VF init flow when mlx4_init_hca returns -EACCESS, we need to issue cleanup and re-attempt to call it with the slave flag. Signed-off-by:

We've used an incorrect type for the loop counter and the mlx4_QUERY_FUNC_CAP function. The current input modifier is either a port or a boolean. Since the number of ports is always a positive value < 255, we should use u8 instead of an integer with casting. Signed-off-by:

We mistakenly read the reserved_eqs field as a standard numeric value rather than a log2 value. Signed-off-by:

Herbert Xu says: ==================== rhashtable: Allow local locks to be used and tested This series moves mutex_is_held entirely under PROVE_LOCKING so there is zero foot print when we're not debugging. More importantly it adds a parrent argument to mutex_is_held so that we can test local locks rather than global ones (e.g., per-namespace locks). ==================== Acked-by:

Currently mutex_is_held can only test locks in the that are global since it takes no arguments. This prevents rhashtable from being used in places where locks are lock, e.g., per-namespace locks. This patch adds a parent field to mutex_is_held and rhashtable_params so that local locks can be used (and tested). Signed-off-by:
