Reduce the #ifdefs and simplify bootstrap by making SMP and NUMA as much alike as possible. This means that there will be an additional indirection to get to the kmem_cache_node field under SMP.

This reverts commit 5249d039500f05a5ab379286b1d23ab9b04d3f2c. It's not needed after commit bbddff05 ("percpu: use percpu allocator on UP too").

Percpu allocator should clear memory before returning it but the km allocator forgot to do it. Fix it. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reported-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

On UP, percpu allocations were redirected to kmalloc. This has the following problems. * For certain amount of allocations (determined by PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SLOTS and PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SIZE), percpu allocator can be used before the usual kernel memory allocator is brought online. On SMP, this is used to initialize the kernel memory allocator. * percpu allocator honors alignment upto PAGE_SIZE but kmalloc() doesn't. For example, workqueue makes use of larger alignments for cpu_workqueues. Currently, users of percpu allocators need to handle UP differently, which is somewhat fragile and ugly. Other than small amount of memory, there isn't much to lose by enabling percpu allocator on UP. It can simply use kernel memory based chunk allocation which was added for SMP archs w/o MMUs. This patch removes mm/percpu_up.c, builds mm/percpu.c on UP too and makes UP build use percpu-km. As percpu addresses and kernel addresses are always identity mapped and static percpu variables don't need any special treatment, nothing is arch dependent and mm/percpu.c implements generic setup_per_cpu_areas() for UP.

In preparation of enabling percpu allocator for UP, reduce PCPU_MIN_UNIT_SIZE to 32k. On UP, the first chunk doesn't have to include static percpu variables and chunk size can be smaller which is important as UP percpu allocator will use contiguous kernel memory to populate chunks. PCPU_MIN_UNIT_SIZE also determines the maximum supported allocation size but 32k should still be enough. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

As explained by Linus "I'm Proud to be an American" Torvalds: Looking at the merging code, I actually think it's totally buggy. If you have something like this: - load module A: create slab cache A - load module B: create slab cache B that can merge with A - unload module A - "cat /proc/slabinfo": BOOM. Oops. exactly because the name is not handled correctly, and you'll have module B holding open a slab cache that has a name pointer that points to module A that no longer exists. This patch fixes the problem by using kstrdup() to allocate dynamic memory for ->name of "struct kmem_cache" as suggested by Christoph Lameter.

Since the percpu allocator does not provide early allocation in UP mode (only in SMP configurations) use __get_free_page() to improvise a compound page allocation that can be later freed via kfree(). Compound pages will be released when the cpu caches are resized.

Move the gfpflags masking into the hooks for checkers and into the slowpaths. gfpflag masking requires access to a global variable and thus adds an additional cacheline reference to the hotpaths. If no hooks are active then the gfpflag masking will result in code that the compiler can toss out.

kmalloc caches are statically defined and may take up a lot of space just because the sizes of the node array has to be dimensioned for the largest node count supported. This patch makes the size of the kmem_cache structure dynamic throughout by creating a kmem_cache slab cache for the kmem_cache objects. The bootstrap occurs by allocating the initial one or two kmem_cache objects from the page allocator. C2->C3 - Fix various issues indicated by David - Make create kmalloc_cache return a kmem_cache * pointer.

* 'upstream-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/libata-dev: ahci: fix module refcount breakage introduced by libahci split
-
Tejun Heo authored
libata depends on scsi_host_template for module reference counting and sht's should be owned by each low level driver. During libahci split, the sht was left with libahci.ko leaving the actual low level drivers not reference counted. This made ahci and ahci_platform always unloadable even while they're being actively used. Fix it by defining AHCI_SHT() macro in ahci.h and defining a sht for each low level ahci driver. stable: only applicable to 2.6.35.

Commit e40cc4bd introduced a build breakage if CONFIG_SMP is undefined. This commit fixes the problem. This fix is only a workaround. For a real fix, cpu_sibling_mask() should be defined in UP include code, eg in linux/smp.h, and asm/smp.h should not be included directly. This fix is currently not possible because asm/smp.h defines cpu_sibling_mask() unconditionally and is included directly from many source files.

Fixes kernel bugzilla #16603 tcp_sendmsg() truncates iov_len to an 'int' which a 4GB write to write zero bytes, for example. There is also the problem higher up of how verify_iovec() works. It wants to prevent the total length from looking like an error return value. However it does this using 'int', but syscalls return 'long' (and thus signed 64-bit on 64-bit machines). So it could trigger false-positives on 64-bit as written. So fix it to use 'long'.

The PKT_CTRL_CMD_STATUS device ioctl retrieves a pointer to a pktcdvd_device from the global pkt_devs array. The index into this array is provided directly by the user and is a signed integer, so the comparison to ensure that it falls within the bounds of this array will fail when provided with a negative index. This can be used to read arbitrary kernel memory or cause a crash due to an invalid pointer dereference. This can be exploited by users with permission to open /dev/pktcdvd/control (on many distributions, this is readable by group "cdrom").

p9_virtio_create will only compare the the channel's tag characters against the device name till the end of the channel's tag but not till the end of the device name. This means that if a user defines channels with the tags foo and foobar then he would mount foo when he requested foonot and may mount foo when he requested foobar.

When the interface is up, using ethtool breaks it because: a) link is put down but media_timer interval is not shortened to NO_LINK b) rxtx is stopped but not restarted Also manual 10baseT-HD (and probably FD too - untested) mode does not work - the link is forced up, packets are transmitted but nothing is received. Changing CSR14 value to match documentation (not disabling link check) fixes this.

When TCP uses FACK algorithm to mark lost packets in tcp_mark_head_lost(), if the number of packets in the (TSO) skb is greater than the number of packets that should be marked lost, TCP incorrectly exits the loop and marks no packets lost in the skb. This underestimates tp->lost_out and affects the recovery/retransmission. This patch fargments the skb and marks the correct amount of packets lost.
