[PATCH] vmscan: balancing fix
Revert a patch which went into 2.6.8-rc1. The changelog for that patch was:
The shrink_zone() logic can, under some circumstances, cause far too many
pages to be reclaimed. Say, we're scanning at high priority and suddenly
hit a large number of reclaimable pages on the LRU.
Change things so we bale out when SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages have been
reclaimed.
Problem is, this change caused significant imbalance in inter-zone scan
balancing by truncating scans of larger zones.
Suppose, for example, ZONE_HIGHMEM is 10x the size of ZONE_NORMAL. The zone
balancing algorithm would require that if we're scanning 100 pages of
ZONE_HIGHMEM, we should scan 10 pages of ZONE_NORMAL. But this logic will
cause the scanning of ZONE_HIGHMEM to bale out after only 32 pages are
reclaimed. Thus effectively causing smaller zones to be scanned relatively
harder than large ones.
Now I need to remember what the workload was which caused me to write this
patch originally, then fix it up in a different way...

[PATCH] flatmem split out memory model
There are three places we define pfn_to_nid(). Two in linux/mmzone.h and one
in asm/mmzone.h. These in essence represent the three memory models. The
definition in linux/mmzone.h under !NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES is both the FLATMEM
definition and the optimisation for single NUMA nodes; the one under SPARSEMEM
is the NUMA sparsemem one; the one in asm/mmzone.h under DISCONTIGMEM is the
discontigmem one. This is not in the least bit obvious, particularly the
connection between the non-NUMA optimisations and the memory models.
Two patches:
flatmem-split-out-memory-model: simplifies the selection of pfn_to_nid()
implementations. The selection is based primarily off the memory model
selected. Optimisations for non-NUMA are applied where needed.
sparse-provide-pfn_to_nid: implement pfn_to_nid() for SPARSEMEM
This patch:
pfn_to_nid is memory model specific
The pfn_to_nid() call is memory model specific. It represents the locality
identifier for the memory passed. Classically this would be a NUMA node,
but not a chunk of memory under DISCONTIGMEM.
The SPARSEMEM and FLATMEM memory model non-NUMA versions of pfn_to_nid()
are folded together under NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES, while DISCONTIGMEM has its
own optimisation. This is all very confusing.

see them and the optimisations to each.

Implement copy-on-write support for hugetlb mappings so MAP_PRIVATE can be

it broken out according to the following paragraphs.
1. Add a pair of functions to set/clear write access on huge ptes. The
writable check in make_huge_pte is moved out to the caller for use by COW
later.
2. Hugetlb copy-on-write requires special case handling in the following
situations:
- copy_hugetlb_page_range() - Copied pages must be write protected so
a COW fault will be triggered (if necessary) if those pages are written
to.
- find_or_alloc_huge_page() - Only MAP_SHARED pages are added to the
page cache. MAP_PRIVATE pages still need to be locked however.
3. Provide hugetlb_cow() and calls from hugetlb_fault() and
hugetlb_no_page() which handles the COW fault by making the actual copy.
4. Remove the check in hugetlbfs_file_map() so that MAP_PRIVATE mmaps
will be allowed. Make MAP_HUGETLB exempt from the depricated VM_RESERVED
mapping check.

[PATCH] madvise(MADV_REMOVE): remove pages from tmpfs shm backing store
Here is the patch to implement madvise(MADV_REMOVE) - which frees up a
given range of pages & its associated backing store. Current
implementation supports only shmfs/tmpfs and other filesystems return
-ENOSYS.
"Some app allocates large tmpfs files, then when some task quits and some
client disconnect, some memory can be released. However the only way to
release tmpfs-swap is to MADV_REMOVE". - Andrea Arcangeli
Databases want to use this feature to drop a section of their bufferpool
(shared memory segments) - without writing back to disk/swap space.
This feature is also useful for supporting hot-plug memory on UML.
Concerns raised by Andrew Morton:
- "We have no plan for holepunching! If we _do_ have such a plan (or
might in the future) then what would the API look like? I think
sys_holepunch(fd, start, len), so we should start out with that."
- Using madvise is very weird, because people will ask "why do I need to
mmap my file before I can stick a hole in it?"
- None of the other madvise operations call into the filesystem in this
manner. A broad question is: is this capability an MM operation or a
filesytem operation? truncate, for example, is a filesystem operation
which sometimes has MM side-effects. madvise is an mm operation and with
this patch, it gains FS side-effects, only they're really, really
significant ones."
Comments:
- Andrea suggested the fs operation too but then it's more efficient to
have it as a mm operation with fs side effects, because they don't
immediatly know fd and physical offset of the range. It's possible to
fixup in userland and to use the fs operation but it's more expensive,
the vmas are already in the kernel and we can use them.
Short term plan & Future Direction:
- We seem to need this interface only for shmfs/tmpfs files in the short
term. We have to add hooks into the filesystem for correctness and
completeness. This is what this patch does.
- In the future, plan is to support both fs and mmap apis also. This
also involves (other) filesystem specific functions to be implemented.
- Current patch doesn't support VM_NONLINEAR - which can be addressed in
the future.

[PATCH] nbd: fix TX/RX race condition
Janos Haar of First NetCenter Bt. reported numerous crashes involving the
NBD driver. With his help, this was tracked down to bogus bio vectors
which in turn was the result of a race condition between the
receive/transmit routines in the NBD driver.
The bug manifests itself like this:
CPU0 CPU1
do_nbd_request
add req to queuelist
nbd_send_request
send req head
for each bio
kmap
send
nbd_read_stat
nbd_find_request
nbd_end_request
kunmap
When CPU1 finishes nbd_end_request, the request and all its associated
bio's are freed. So when CPU0 calls kunmap whose argument is derived from
the last bio, it may crash.
Under normal circumstances, the race occurs only on the last bio. However,
if an error is encountered on the remote NBD server (such as an incorrect
magic number in the request), or if there were a bug in the server, it is
possible for the nbd_end_request to occur any time after the request's
addition to the queuelist.
The following patch fixes this problem by making sure that requests are not
added to the queuelist until after they have been completed transmission.
In order for the receiving side to be ready for responses involving
requests still being transmitted, the patch introduces the concept of the
active request.
When a response matches the current active request, its processing is
delayed until after the tranmission has come to a stop.
This has been tested by Janos and it has been successful in curing this
race condition.

Unify the EVENT_CARD_INSERTION and "attach" callbacks to one unified

probe() function, each driver _must_ set struct pcmcia_device
*p_dev->instance and instance->handle correctly.
With these patches, the basic driver interface for 16-bit PCMCIA drivers
now has the classic four callbacks known also from other buses:
int (*probe) (struct pcmcia_device *dev);
void (*remove) (struct pcmcia_device *dev);
int (*suspend) (struct pcmcia_device *dev);
int (*resume) (struct pcmcia_device *dev);
Move the suspend and resume methods out of the event handler, and into

[ATYFB]: Fix onboard video on SPARC Blade 100 for 2.6.{13,14,15}
I have recently been switching from using 2.4.32 on my trusty
old Sparc Blade 100 to using 2.6.15 . Some of the problems I ran into
were distorted video when the console was active (missing first
character, skipped dots) and when running X windows (colored snow,
stripes, missing pixels). A quick examination of the 2.6 versus 2.4
source for the ATY driver revealed alot of changes.
A closer look at the code/data for the 64GR/XL chip revealed
two minor "typos" that the rewriter(s) of the code made. The first is
a incorrect clock value (230 .vs. 235) and the second is a missing
flag (M64F_SDRAM_MAGIC_PLL). Making both these changes seems to have
fixed my problem. I tend to think the 235 value is the correct one,
as there is a 29.4 Mhz clock crystal close to the video chip and 235.2
(29.4*8) is too close to 235 to make it a coincidence.
The flag for M64F_SDRAM_MAGIC_PLL was dropped during the
changes made by adaplas in file revision 1.72 on the old bitkeeper
repository.
The change relating to the clock rate has been there forever,
at least in the 2.6 tree. I'm not sure where to look for the old 2.5
tree or if anyone cares when it happened.
On SPARC Blades 100's, which use the ATY MACH64GR video chipset, the
clock crystal frequency is 235.2 Mhz, not 230 Mhz. The chipset also
requires the use of M64F_SDRAM_MAGIC_PLL in order to setup the PLL
properly for the DRAM.

The original ipv6_find_hdr() finds the specified header in IPv6 packets.
This makes it possible to get transport header so that we can kill similar

[NETFILTER]: Call POST_ROUTING hook before fragmentation
Call POST_ROUTING hook before fragmentation to get rid of the okfn use
in ip_refrag and save the useless fragmentation/defragmentation step
when NAT is used.
The patch introduces one user-visible change, the POSTROUTING chain
in the mangle table gets entire packets, not fragments, which should
simplify use of the MARK and CLASSIFY targets for queueing as a nice
side-effect.
