[PATCH] uml ubd driver: convert do_ubd to a boolean variable
do_ubd is actually just a boolean variable - the way it is used currently is a
leftover from the old 2.4 block layer, but it is still used; its use is
suspicious, but removing it would be too intrusive for now and needs more
thinking.

Add some comments about requirements for ubd_io_lock and expand its use.
When an irq signals that the "controller" (i.e. another thread on the host,
which does the actual requests and is the only one blocked on I/O on the host)
has done some work, we call again the request function ourselves
(do_ubd_request).
We now do that with ubd_io_lock held - that's useful to protect against
concurrent calls to elv_next_request and so on.
XXX: Maybe we shouldn't call at all the request function. Input needed on
this. Are we supposed to plug and unplug the queue? That code "indirectly"
does that by setting a flag, called do_ubd, which makes the request function
return (it's a residual of 2.4 block layer interface).
Meanwhile, however, merge this patch, which improves things.

[PATCH] uml ubd driver: change ubd_lock to be a mutex
This lock protects ubd setup and teardown, so is only used in process context;
beyond that, during such setup memory allocations must be performed and some
generic functions which can sleep must be called (such as add_disk()). So the
only correct solution is to make it a mutex instead of a spin_lock. No other
change is done - this lock must be acquired in different places but it's done
afterwards.

[PATCH] uml ubd driver: give better names to some functions.
To rethink locking, I needed to understand well what each function does.
While doing this I renamed some:
* ubd_close -> ubd_close_dev (since it pairs with ubd_open_dev)
* ubd_new_disk -> ubd_disk_register (it handles registration with the block
layer - one hopes this makes clearer the difference with ubd_add())

[PATCH] clean up add_bd_holder()
add_bd_holder() is called from bd_claim_by_kobject to put a given struct
bd_holder in the list if there is no matching entry.
There are 3 possible results of add_bd_holder():
1. there is no matching entry and add the given one to the list
2. there is matching entry, so just increment reference count of
the existing one
3. something failed during its course
1 and 2 are successful cases. But for case 2, someone has to free the
unused struct bd_holder.
The current code frees it inside of add_bd_holder and returns same value
0 for both cases 1 and 2. However, it's natural and less error-prone if
caller frees it since it's allocated by the caller.

[PATCH] sunrpc: fix refcounting problems in rpc servers
A recent patch fixed a problem which would occur when the refcount on an
auth_domain reached zero. This problem has not been reported in practice
despite existing in two major kernel releases because the refcount can
never reach zero.
This patch fixes the problems that stop the refcount reaching zero.
1/ We were adding to the refcount when inserting in the hash table,
but only removing from the hashtable when the refcount reached zero.
Obviously it never would. So don't count the implied reference of
being in the hash table.
2/ There are two paths on which a socket can be destroyed. One called
svcauth_unix_info_release(). The other didn't. So when the other was
taken, we can lose a reference to an ip_map which in-turn holds a
reference to an auth_domain
So unify the exit paths into svc_sock_put. This highlights the fact
that svc_delete_socket has slightly odd semantics - it does not drop
a reference but probably should. Fixing this need a bit more
thought and testing.

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.
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 ?

# 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.

[PATCH] hugetlb: fix prio_tree unit
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).

[PATCH] memory hotplug: __GFP_NOWARN is better for __kmalloc_section_memmap()
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 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.
