quicklists cause a serious memory leak on 32-bit x86, as documented at: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9991 the reason is that the quicklist pool is a special-purpose cache that grows out of proportion. It is not accounted for anywhere and users have no way to even realize that it's the quicklists that are causing RAM usage spikes. It was supposed to be a relatively small pool, but as demonstrated by KOSAKI Motohiro, they can grow as large as: Quicklists: 1194304 kB given how much trouble this code has caused historically, and given that Andrew objected to its introduction on x86 (years ago), the best option at this point is to remove them. [ any performance benefits of caching constructed pgds should be implemented in a more generic way (possibly within the page allocator), while still allowing constructed pages to be allocated by other workloads. ] Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

The code to restart syscalls after signals depends on checking for a negative orig_ax, and for particular negative -ERESTART* values in ax. These fields are 64 bits and for a 32-bit task they get zero-extended. The syscall restart behavior is lost, a regression from a native 32-bit kernel and from 64-bit tasks' behavior. This patch fixes the problem by doing sign-extension where it matters. For orig_ax, the only time the value should be -1 but winds up as 0x0ffffffff is via a 32-bit ptrace call. So the patch changes ptrace to sign-extend the 32-bit orig_eax value when it's stored; it doesn't change the checks on orig_ax, though it uses the new current_syscall() inline to better document the subtle importance of the used of signedness there. The ax value is stored a lot of ways and it seems hard to get them all sign-extended at their origins. So for that, we use the current_syscall_ret() to sign-extend it only for 32-bit tasks at the time of the -ERESTART* comparisons.

It is possible to allow the root-domain cache of online cpus to become out of sync with the global cpu_online_map. This is because we currently trigger removal of cpus too early in the notifier chain. Other DOWN_PREPARE handlers may in fact run and reconfigure the root-domain topology, thereby stomping on our own offline handling. The end result is that rd->online may become out of sync with cpu_online_map, which results in potential task misrouting. So change the offline handling to be more tightly coupled with the global offline process by triggering on CPU_DYING intead of CPU_DOWN_PREPARE.

cm_work_handler() can access cm_id_priv after it drops its reference by calling iwch_deref_id(), which might cause it to be freed. The fix is to look at whether IWCM_F_CALLBACK_DESTROY is set _before_ dropping the reference. Then if it was set, free the cm_id on this thread.

I figured out another ACPI related regression today. randconfig testing triggered an early boot-time hang on a laptop of mine (32-bit x86, config attached) - the screen was scrolling ACPI AML exceptions [with no serial port and no early debugging available]. v2.6.24 works fine on that laptop with the same .config, so after a few hours of bisection (had to restart it 3 times - other regressions interacted), it honed in on this commit: | 10270d48 is first bad commit | | Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org> | Date: Wed Feb 13 09:56:14 2008 -0800 | | acpi: fix acpi_os_read_pci_configuration() misuse of raw_pci_read() reverting this commit ontop of -rc5 gave a correctly booting kernel. But this commit fixes a real bug so the real question is, why did it break the bootup? After quite some head-scratching, the following change stood out: - pci_id->bus = tu8; + pci_id->bus = val; pci_id->bus is defined as u16: struct acpi_pci_id { u16 segment; u16 bus; ... and 'tu8' changed from u8 to u32. So previously we'd unconditionally mask the return value of acpi_os_read_pci_configuration() (raw_pci_read()) to 8 bits, but now we just trust whatever comes back from the PCI access routines and only crop it to 16 bits. But if the high 8 bits of that result contains any noise then we'll write that into ACPI's PCI ID descriptor and confuse the heck out of the rest of ACPI. So lets check the PCI-BIOS code on that theory. We have this codepath for 8-bit accesses (arch/x86/pci/pcbios.c:pci_bios_read()): switch (len) { case 1: __asm__("lcall *(%%esi); cld\n\t" "jc 1f\n\t" "xor %%ah, %%ah\n" "1:" : "=c" (*value), "=a" (result) : "1" (PCIBIOS_READ_CONFIG_BYTE), "b" (bx), "D" ((long)reg), "S" (&pci_indirect)); Aha! The "=a" output constraint puts the full 32 bits of EAX into *value. But if the BIOS's routines set any of the high bits to nonzero, we'll return a value with more set in it than intended. The other, more common PCI access methods (v1 and v2 PCI reads) clear out the high bits already, for example pci_conf1_read() does: switch (len) { case 1: *value = inb(0xCFC + (reg & 3)); which explicitly converts the return byte up to 32 bits and zero-extends it. So zero-extending the result in the PCI-BIOS read routine fixes the regression on my laptop. ( It might fix some other long-standing issues we had with PCI-BIOS during the past decade ... ) Both 8-bit and 16-bit accesses were buggy.

iov_iter_advance() skips over zero-length iovecs, however it does not properly terminate at the end of the iovec array. Fix this by checking against i->count before we skip a zero-length iov. The bug was reproduced with a test program that continually randomly creates iovs to writev. The fix was also verified with the same program and also it could verify that the correct data was contained in the file after each writev.

The original preemptible-RCU patch put the choice between classic and preemptible RCU into kernel/Kconfig.preempt, which resulted in build failures on machines not supporting CONFIG_PREEMPT. This choice was therefore moved to init/Kconfig, which worked, but placed the choice between classic and preemptible RCU at the top level, a very obtuse choice indeed. This patch changes from the Kconfig "choice" mechanism to a pair of booleans, only one of which (CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU) is user-visible, and is located in kernel/Kconfig.preempt, where one would expect it to be. The other (CONFIG_CLASSIC_RCU) is in init/Kconfig so that it is available to all architectures, hopefully avoiding build breakage. Thanks to Roman Zippel for suggesting this approach.

Return value convention of module's init functions is 0/-E. Sometimes, e.g. during forward-porting mistakes happen and buggy module created, where result of comparison "workqueue != NULL" is propagated all the way up to sys_init_module. What happens is that some other module created workqueue in question, our module created it again and module was successfully loaded. Or it could be some other bug. Let's make such mistakes much more visible. In retrospective, such messages would noticeably shorten some of my head-scratching sessions. Note, that dump_stack() is just a way to get attention from user. Sample message: sys_init_module: 'foo'->init suspiciously returned 1, it should follow 0/-E convention sys_init_module: loading module anyway...

Free pages in the hugetlb pool are free and as such have a reference count of zero. Regular allocations into the pool from the buddy are "freed" into the pool which results in their page_count dropping to zero. However, surplus pages can be directly utilized by the caller without first being freed to the pool. Therefore, a call to put_page_testzero() is in order so that such a page will be handed to the caller with a correct count. This has not affected end users because the bad page count is reset before the page is handed off. However, under CONFIG_DEBUG_VM this triggers a BUG when the page count is validated. Thanks go to Mel for first spotting this issue and providing an initial fix.
