mm: mempolicy: Add MPOL_NOOP
This patch augments the MPOL_MF_LAZY feature by adding a "NOOP" policy
to mbind(). When the NOOP policy is used with the 'MOVE and 'LAZY
flags, mbind() will map the pages PROT_NONE so that they will be
migrated on the next touch.
This allows an application to prepare for a new phase of operation
where different regions of shared storage will be assigned to
worker threads, w/o changing policy. Note that we could just use
"default" policy in this case. However, this also allows an
application to request that pages be migrated, only if necessary,
to follow any arbitrary policy that might currently apply to a
range of pages, without knowing the policy, or without specifying
multiple mbind()s for ranges with different policies.

mm: numa: Create basic numa page hinting infrastructure
Note: This patch started as "mm/mpol: Create special PROT_NONE

heavily from "autonuma: numa hinting page faults entry points" for
the actual fault handlers without the migration parts. The end
result is barely recognisable as either patch so all Signed-off

In order to facilitate a lazy -- fault driven -- migration of pages, create
a special transient PAGE_NUMA variant, we can then use the 'spurious'
protection faults to drive our migrations from.
The meaning of PAGE_NUMA depends on the architecture but on x86 it is
effectively PROT_NONE. Actual PROT_NONE mappings will not generate these
NUMA faults for the reason that the page fault code checks the permission on
the VMA (and will throw a segmentation fault on actual PROT_NONE mappings),
before it ever calls handle_mm_fault.
mm: numa: Support NUMA hinting page faults from gup/gup_fast
Introduce FOLL_NUMA to tell follow_page to check
pte/pmd_numa. get_user_pages must use FOLL_NUMA, and it's safe to do
so because it always invokes handle_mm_fault and retries the
follow_page later.
KVM secondary MMU page faults will trigger the NUMA hinting page
faults through gup_fast -> get_user_pages -> follow_page ->
handle_mm_fault.
Other follow_page callers like KSM should not use FOLL_NUMA, or they
would fail to get the pages if they use follow_page instead of
get_user_pages.

The objective of _PAGE_NUMA is to be able to trigger NUMA hinting page
faults to identify the per NUMA node working set of the thread at
runtime.
Arming the NUMA hinting page fault mechanism works similarly to
setting up a mprotect(PROT_NONE) virtual range: the present bit is
cleared at the same time that _PAGE_NUMA is set, so when the fault
triggers we can identify it as a NUMA hinting page fault.
_PAGE_NUMA on x86 shares the same bit number of _PAGE_PROTNONE (but it
could also use a different bitflag, it's up to the architecture to
decide).
It would be confusing to call the "NUMA hinting page faults" as
"do_prot_none faults". They're different events and _PAGE_NUMA doesn't
alter the semantics of mprotect(PROT_NONE) in any way.
Sharing the same bitflag with _PAGE_PROTNONE in fact complicates
things: it requires us to ensure the code paths executed by
_PAGE_PROTNONE remains mutually exclusive to the code paths executed
by _PAGE_NUMA at all times, to avoid _PAGE_NUMA and _PAGE_PROTNONE to
step into each other toes.
Because we want to be able to set this bitflag in any established pte
or pmd (while clearing the present bit at the same time) without
losing information, this bitflag must never be set when the pte and
pmd are present, so the bitflag picked for _PAGE_NUMA usage, must not
be used by the swap entry format.

mm: compaction: Add scanned and isolated counters for compaction
Compaction already has tracepoints to count scanned and isolated pages
but it requires that ftrace be enabled and if that information has to be
written to disk then it can be disruptive. This patch adds vmstat counters
for compaction called compact_migrate_scanned, compact_free_scanned and
compact_isolated.
With these counters, it is possible to define a basic cost model for
compaction. This approximates of how much work compaction is doing and can
be compared that with an oprofile showing TLB misses and see if the cost of
compaction is being offset by THP for example. Minimally a compaction patch
can be evaluated in terms of whether it increases or decreases cost. The
basic cost model looks like this
Fundamental unit u: a word sizeof(void *)
Ca = cost of struct page access = sizeof(struct page) / u
Cmc = Cost migrate page copy = (Ca + PAGE_SIZE/u) * 2
Cmf = Cost migrate failure = Ca * 2
Ci = Cost page isolation = (Ca + Wi)
where Wi is a constant that should reflect the approximate
cost of the locking operation.
Csm = Cost migrate scanning = Ca
Csf = Cost free scanning = Ca
This is very basic and ignores certain costs such as the allocation cost
to do a migrate page copy but any improvement to the model would still
use the same vmstat counters.

mm: Optimize the TLB flush of sys_mprotect() and change_protection() users
Reuse the NUMA code's 'modified page protections' count that
change_protection() computes and skip the TLB flush if there's
no changes to a range that sys_mprotect() modifies.
Given that mprotect() already optimizes the same-flags case
I expected this optimization to dominantly trigger on
CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING=y kernels - but even with that feature
disabled it triggers rather often.
There's two reasons for that:
1)
While sys_mprotect() already optimizes the same-flag case:
and this test works in many cases, but it is too sharp in some
others, where it differentiates between protection values that the
underlying PTE format makes no distinction about, such as
PROT_EXEC == PROT_READ on x86.
2)
Even where the pte format over vma flag changes necessiates a
modification of the pagetables, there might be no pagetables
yet to modify: they might not be instantiated yet.
During a regular desktop bootup this optimization hits a couple
of hundred times. During a Java test I measured thousands of
hits.
So this optimization improves sys_mprotect() in general, not just
CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING=y kernels.
[ We could further increase the efficiency of this optimization if
change_pte_range() and change_huge_pmd() was a bit smarter about
recognizing exact-same-value protection masks - when the hardware
can do that safely. This would probably further speed up mprotect(). ]

mm: Check if PTE is already allocated during page fault
With transparent hugepage support, handle_mm_fault() has to be careful
that a normal PMD has been established before handling a PTE fault. To
achieve this, it used __pte_alloc() directly instead of pte_alloc_map
as pte_alloc_map is unsafe to run against a huge PMD. pte_offset_map()
is called once it is known the PMD is safe.
pte_alloc_map() is smart enough to check if a PTE is already present
before calling __pte_alloc but this check was lost. As a consequence,
PTEs may be allocated unnecessarily and the page table lock taken.
Thi useless PTE does get cleaned up but it's a performance hit which
is visible in page_test from aim9.
This patch simply re-adds the check normally done by pte_alloc_map to
check if the PTE needs to be allocated before taking the page table
lock. The effect is noticable in page_test from aim9.
(While this affects 2.6.38, it is a performance rather than a
functional bug and normally outside the rules -stable. While the big
performance differences are to a microbench, the difference in fork
and exec performance may be significant enough that -stable wants to

the local TLB entry that caused a page fault, as well as on

tmpfs: change final i_blocks BUG to WARNING
Under a particular load on one machine, I have hit shmem_evict_inode()'s
BUG_ON(inode->i_blocks), enough times to narrow it down to a particular
race between swapout and eviction.
It comes from the "if (freed > 0)" asymmetry in shmem_recalc_inode(),
and the lack of coherent locking between mapping's nrpages and shmem's
swapped count. There's a window in shmem_writepage(), between lowering
nrpages in shmem_delete_from_page_cache() and then raising swapped
count, when the freed count appears to be +1 when it should be 0, and
then the asymmetry stops it from being corrected with -1 before hitting
the BUG.
One answer is coherent locking: using tree_lock throughout, without
info->lock; reasonable, but the raw_spin_lock in percpu_counter_add() on
used_blocks makes that messier than expected. Another answer may be a
further effort to eliminate the weird shmem_recalc_inode() altogether,
but previous attempts at that failed.
So far undecided, but for now change the BUG_ON to WARN_ON: in usual
circumstances it remains a useful consistency check.
Thanks to Johannes for pointing to truncation: free_swap_and_cache()
only does a trylock on the page, so the page lock we've held since
before confirming swap is not enough to protect against truncation.
What cleanup is needed in this case? Just delete_from_swap_cache(),

many configurations, calculating zone from page is slower.)
But we have no code to update all the lruvecs (per zone, per memcg) when
a memory node is hotadded. Here's an extract from the oops which
results when running numactl to bind a program to a newly onlined node:

The natural solution might be to use a memcg callback whenever memory is
hotadded; but that solution has not been scoped out, and it happens that
we do have an easy location at which to update lruvec->zone. The lruvec
pointer is discovered either by mem_cgroup_zone_lruvec() or by
mem_cgroup_page_lruvec(), and both of those do know the right zone.
So check and set lruvec->zone in those; and remove the inadequate
attempt to set lruvec->zone from lruvec_init(), which is called before
NODE_DATA(node) has been allocated in such cases.
Ah, there was one exceptionr. For no particularly good reason,
mem_cgroup_force_empty_list() has its own code for deciding lruvec.
Change it to use the standard mem_cgroup_zone_lruvec() and
mem_cgroup_get_lru_size() too. In fact it was already safe against such
an oops (the lru lists in danger could only be empty), but we're better

with swappiness==0") we do not swap when swappiness is 0 which means
that we cannot really use up all the totalpages pages. This in turn
confuses oom score calculation if the memcg limit is much smaller than
the available swap because the used memory (capped by the limit) is
negligible comparing to totalpages so the resulting score is too small
if adj!=0 (typically task with CAP_SYS_ADMIN or non zero oom_score_adj).
A wrong process might be selected as result.
The problem can be worked around by checking mem_cgroup_swappiness==0
and not considering swap at all in such a case.

mm: fix build warning for uninitialized value
do_wp_page() sets mmun_called if mmun_start and mmun_end were

with these values. This doesn't prevent gcc from emitting a build
warning though:

s390/3215: fix tty close handling
The 3215 console always has the RAW3215_FIXED flag set, which causes
raw3215_shutdown() not to wait for outstanding I/O requests if an attached
tty gets closed.
The flag however can be simply removed, so we can guarantee that all requests
belonging to the tty have been processed when the tty is closed.
However the tasklet that belongs to the 3215 device may be scheduled even if
there is no tty attached anymore, since we have a race between console and tty
processing.
Thefore unconditional tty_wakekup() in raw3215_wakeup() can cause the following
NULL pointer dereference:
The easiest solution is simply to check if tty is NULL in the tasklet.
If it is NULL nothing is to do (no tty attached), otherwise tty_wakeup()
can be called, since we hold a reference to the tty.
This is not nice... but it is a small patch and it works.

As pointed out by Ben Hutchings, this change is not correct.
mdiobus_unregister() can't be called if the bus isn't registered yet,
however this change can result in situations which cause that to

Part of the confusion here revolves around the fact that the

rather than the module itself.

net/smsc911x: Fix ready check in cases where WORD_SWAP is needed
The chip ready check added by the commit 3ac3546e [Always wait for
the chip to be ready] does not work when the register read/write
is word swapped. This check has been added before the WORD_SWAP
register is programmed, so we need to check for swapped register
value as well.
Bit 16 is marked as RESERVED in SMSC datasheet, Steve Glendinning
<steve@shawell.net> checked with SMSC and wrote:
The chip architects have concluded we should be reading PMT_CTRL
until we see any of bits 0, 8, 16 or 24 set. Then we should read
BYTE_TEST to check the byte order is correct (as we already do).
The rationale behind this is that some of the chip variants have
word order swapping features too, so the READY bit could actually
be in any of the 4 possible locations. The architects have confirmed
that if any of these 4 positions is set the chip is ready. The other
3 locations will either never be set or can only go high after READY
does (so also indicate the device is ready).
This change will check for the READY bit at the 16th position. We do
not check the other two cases (bit 8 and 24) since the driver does not
support byte-swapped register read/write.

ipv4/ip_vti.c: VTI fix post-decryption forwarding
With the latest kernel there are two things that must be done post decryption
so that the packet are forwarded.
1. Remove the mark from the packet. This will cause the packet to not match
the ipsec-policy again. However doing this causes the post-decryption check to
fail also and the packet will get dropped. (cat /proc/net/xfrm_stat).
2. Remove the sp association in the skbuff so that no policy check is done on

Due to #2 above we must now do a security-policy check in the vti rcv path
prior to resetting the mark in the skbuff.

This avoids a cascade of oopses caused when the initial

TTY: hvc_console, fix port reference count going to zero prematurely
Commit bdb498c20040 "TTY: hvc_console, add tty install" took the port
refcounting out of hvc_open()/hvc_close(), but failed to remove the
kref_put() and tty_kref_put() calls in hvc_hangup() that were there to
remove the extra references that hvc_open() had taken.
The result was that doing a vhangup() when the current terminal was
a hvc_console, then closing the current terminal, would end up calling
destroy_hvc_struct() and making the port disappear entirely. This
meant that Fedora 17 systems would boot up but then not display the
login prompt on the console, and attempts to open /dev/hvc0 would
give a "No such device" error.
This fixes it by removing the extra kref_put() and tty_kref_put() calls.

B. snd_pcm_open() ->
