prepare_reply() adds GENL_HDRLEN to the payload (genlmsg_total_size()), but then it does genlmsg_put()->nlmsg_put(). This means we forget to reserve a room for 'struct nlmsghdr'. Signed-off-by:

'return genlmsg_cancel()' in taskstats_user_cmd/taskstats_exit_send potentially leaks a skb. Unless we pass 'rep_skb' to the netlink layer we own sk_buff. This means we should always do kfree_skb() on failure. [ Thomas acked and pointed out missing return value in original version ] Signed-off-by:

As reported by Martin J. Bligh <mbligh@google.com>, we let through some non-slab bits to slab allocation through __get_vm_area_node when doing a vmalloc. I haven't been able to reproduce this, although I understand why it happens: vmalloc allocates memory with GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_HIGHMEM and commit 52fd24ca resulted in the same flags are passed down to cache_alloc_refill, causing the BUG. The following patch fixes it. Note that when calling kmalloc_node, I am masking off __GFP_HIGHMEM with GFP_LEVEL_MASK, whereas __vmalloc_area_node does the same with ~(__GFP_HIGHMEM | __GFP_ZERO). IMHO, using GFP_LEVEL_MASK is preferable, but either should fix this problem. Signed-off-by: Giridhar Pemmasani (pgiri@yahoo.com) Cc: Martin J.

absent_pages_in_range() made the assumption that users of the arch-independent zone-sizing API would not care about holes beyound the end of physical memory. This was not the case and was "fixed" in a patch called "Account for holes that are outside the range of physical memory". However, when given a range that started before a hole in "real" memory and ended beyond the end of memory, it would get the result wrong. The bug is in mainline but a patch is below. It has been tested successfully on a number of machines and architectures. Additional credit to Keith Mannthey for discovering the problem, helping identify the correct fix and confirming it Worked For Him. Signed-off-by:

This patch (as812) changes the kerneldoc comments explaining the return values from queue_work(), queue_delayed_work(), and queue_delayed_work_on().

fill_tgid() should skip not only an already exited group leader. If the task has ->exit_state != 0 it already did exit_notify(), so it also did fill_tgid_exit()->delayacct_add_tsk(->signal->stats) and we should skip it to avoid a double accounting. This patch doesn't close the race completely, but it cleanups the code. Signed-off-by:

Remove tasklist_lock from taskstats.c. find_task_by_pid() is rcu-safe. ->siglock allows us to traverse subthread without tasklist. Q: delay accounting looks wrong to me. If sub-thread has already called taskstats_exit_send() but didn't call release_task(self) yet it will be accounted twice. The window is big. No? Signed-off-by:

taskstats_tgid_free() is called on copy_process's error path. This is wrong. IF (clone_flags & CLONE_THREAD) We should not clear ->signal->taskstats, current uses it, it probably has a valid accumulated info. ELSE taskstats_tgid_init() set ->signal->taskstats = NULL, there is nothing to free. Move the callsite to __exit_signal(). We don't need any locking, entire thread group is exiting, nobody should have a reference to soon to be released ->signal. Signed-off-by:

1. ts = timespec_sub(uptime, current->group_leader->start_time); It is possible that current != tsk. Probably it was supposed to be 'tsk->group_leader->start_time. But why we are reading group_leader's start_time ? This accounting is per thread, not per procees, I changed this to 'tsk->start_time. Please corect me. 2. stats->ac_ppid = (tsk->parent) ? tsk->parent->pid : 0; tsk->parent never == NULL, and it is unsafe to dereference it. Both the task and it's parent may exit after the caller unlocks tasklist_lock, the memory could be unmapped (DEBUG_SLAB). (And we should use ->real_parent->tgid in fact). Q: I don't understand the 'if (thread_group_leader(tsk))' check. Why it is needed ? Signed-off-by:

1. fill_tgid() forgets to do put_task_struct(first). 2. release_task(first) can happen after fill_tgid() drops tasklist_lock, it is unsafe to dereference first->signal. This is a temporary fix, imho the locking should be reworked. Signed-off-by:

On the the following patch: http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/gnupatch@449b144ecSF1rYskg3q-SeR2vf88zg # ChangeSet # 2006/06/22 15:05:57-07:00 neilb@suse.de # [PATCH] Fix dcache race during umount # If prune_dcache finds a dentry that it cannot free, it leaves it where it # is (at the tail of the list) and exits, on the assumption that some other # thread will be removing that dentry soon. However as far as I see this comment is not correct: when we cannot take s_umount rw_semaphore (for example because it was taken in do_remount) this dentry is already extracted from dentry_unused list and we do not add it into the list again. Therefore dentry will not be found by prune_dcache() and shrink_dcache_sb() and will leave in memory very long time until the partition will be unmounted. The patch adds this dentry into tail of the dentry_unused list. Signed-off-by:

If you truncated an mmap'ed hugetlbfs file, then faulted on the truncated area, /proc/meminfo's HugePages_Rsvd wrapped hugely "negative".

hugetlb_vmtruncate_list was misconverted to prio_tree: its prio_tree is in units of PAGE_SIZE (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE) like any other, not HPAGE_SIZE (whereas its radix_tree is kept in units of HPAGE_SIZE, otherwise slots would be absurdly sparse). At first I thought the error benign, just calling __unmap_hugepage_range on more vmas than necessary; but on 32-bit machines, when the prio_tree is searched correctly, it happens to ensure the v_offset calculation won't overflow. As it stood, when truncating at or beyond 4GB, it was liable to discard pages COWed from lower offsets; or even to clear pmd entries of preceding vmas, triggering exit_mmap's BUG_ON(nr_ptes).

On 32-bit machines, mount -t hugetlbfs -o size=4G gave a 0GB filesystem, size=5G gave a 1GB filesystem etc: there's no point in masking size with HPAGE_MASK just before shifting its lower bits away, and since HPAGE_MASK is a UL, that removed all the higher bits of the unsigned long long size.

If __vmalloc is called to allocate memory with GFP_ATOMIC in atomic context, the chain of calls results in __get_vm_area_node allocating memory for vm_struct with GFP_KERNEL, causing the 'sleeping from invalid context' warning. This patch fixes it by passing the gfp flags along so __get_vm_area_node allocates memory for vm_struct with the same flags. Signed-off-by:

Add __GFP_NOWARN flag to calling of __alloc_pages() in __kmalloc_section_memmap(). It can reduce noisy failure message. In ia64, section size is 1 GB, this means that order 8 pages are necessary for each section's memmap. It is often very hard requirement under heavy memory pressure as you know. So, __alloc_pages() gives up allocation and shows many noisy stack traces which means no page for each sections. (Current my environment shows 32 times of stack trace....) But, __kmalloc_section_memmap() calls vmalloc() after failure of it, and it can succeed allocation of memmap. So, its stack trace warning becomes just noisy. I suppose it shouldn't be shown.

When "mdadm --grow --size=xxx" is used to resize an array (use more or less of each device), we check the new siza against the available space in each device. We already have that number recorded in rdev->size, so calculating it is pointless (and wrong in one obscure case). Signed-off-by:

When running several fsx's and other filesystem stress tests, we found cases where an unmapped buffer was still being sent to submit_bh by the ext3 dirty data journaling code. I saw this happen in two ways, both related to another thread doing a truncate which would unmap the buffer in question. Either we would get into journal_dirty_data with a bh which was already unmapped (although journal_dirty_data_fn had checked for this earlier, the state was not locked at that point), or it would get unmapped in the middle of journal_dirty_data when we dropped locks to call sync_dirty_buffer. By re-checking for mapped state after we've acquired the bh state lock, we should avoid these races. If we find a buffer which is no longer mapped, we essentially ignore it, because journal_unmap_buffer has already decided that this buffer can go away. I've also added tracepoints in these two cases, and made a couple other tracepoint changes that I found useful in debugging this. Signed-off-by:
