[PATCH] jbd: fix BUG in journal_commit_transaction()

Fix possible assertion failure in journal_commit_transaction() on
jh->b_next_transaction == NULL (when we are processing BJ_Forget list and
buffer is not jbddirty).

!jbddirty buffers can be placed on BJ_Forget list for example by
journal_forget() or by __dispose_buffer() - generally such buffer means
that it has been freed by this transaction.

Freed buffers should not be reallocated until the transaction has committed
(that's why we have the assertion there) but they *can* be reallocated when
the transaction has already been committed to disk and we are just
processing the BJ_Forget list (as soon as we remove b_committed_data from
the bitmap bh, ext3 will be able to reallocate buffers freed by the
committing transaction).  So we have to also count with the case that the
buffer has been reallocated and b_next_transaction has been already set.

And one more subtle point: it can happen that we manage to reallocate the
buffer and also mark it jbddirty.  Then we also add the freed buffer to the
checkpoint list of the committing trasaction.  But that should do no harm.

Non-jbddirty buffers should be filed to BJ_Reserved and not BJ_Metadata
list.  It can actually happen that we refile such buffers during the commit
phase when we reallocate in the running transaction blocks deleted in
committing transaction (and that can happen if the committing transaction
already wrote all the data and is just cleaning up BJ_Forget list).

[PATCH] ptrace: document the locking rules

After a lot of reading the code and thinking about how it behaves I have
managed to figure out what the current ptrace locking rules are.  The
current code is in much better that it appears at first glance.  The
troublesome code paths are actually the code paths that violate the current
rules.

ptrace uses simple exclusive access as it's locking.  You can only touch
task->ptrace if the task is stopped and you are the ptracer, or if the task
is running and are the task itself.

Very simple, very easy to maintain.  It just needs to be documented so
people know not to touch ptrace from elsewhere.

Currently we do have a few pieces of code that are in violation of this
rule.  Particularly the core dump code, and ptrace_attach.  But so far the
code looks fixable.

[PATCH] locks: don't unnecessarily fail posix lock operations

posix_lock_file() was too cautious, failing operations on OOM, even if they
didn't actually require an allocation.

This has the disadvantage, that a failing unlock on process exit could lead to
a memory leak.  There are two possibilites for this:

- filesystem implements .lock() and calls back to posix_lock_file().  On
cleanup of files_struct locks_remove_posix() is called which should remove all
locks belonging to files_struct.  However if filesystem calls
posix_lock_file() which fails, then those locks will never be freed.

- if a file is closed while a lock is blocked, then after acquiring
fcntl_setlk() will undo the lock.  But this unlock itself might fail on OOM,
again possibly leaking the lock.

The solution is to move the checking of the allocations until after it is sure
that they will be needed.  This will solve the above problem since unlock will
always succeed unless it splits an existing region.

[PATCH] s390_hypfs filesystem

On zSeries machines there exists an interface which allows the operating
system to retrieve LPAR hypervisor accounting data.  For example, it is
possible to get usage data for physical and virtual cpus.  In order to
provide this information to user space programs, I implemented a new
virtual Linux file system named 's390_hypfs' using the Linux 2.6 libfs
framework.  The name 's390_hypfs' stands for 'S390 Hypervisor Filesystem'.
All the accounting information is put into different virtual files which
can be accessed from user space.  All data is represented as ASCII strings.

When the file system is mounted the accounting information is retrieved and
a file system tree is created with the attribute files containing the cpu
information.  The content of the files remains unchanged until a new update
is made.  An update can be triggered from user space through writing
'something' into a special purpose update file.

We create the following directory structure:

<mount-point>/
        update
        cpus/
                <cpu-id>
                        type
                        mgmtime

                                        ...
                <lpar-name>
                        cpus/
                                ...

- update: File to trigger update
- cpus/: Directory for all physical cpus
- cpus/<cpu-id>/: Directory for one physical cpu.
- cpus/<cpu-id>/type: Type name of physical zSeries cpu.
- cpus/<cpu-id>/mgmtime: Physical-LPAR-management time in microseconds.
- hyp/: Directory for hypervisor information
- hyp/type: Typ of hypervisor (currently only 'LPAR Hypervisor')
- systems/: Directory for all LPARs
- systems/<lpar-name>/: Directory for one LPAR.
- systems/<lpar-name>/cpus/<cpu-id>/: Directory for the virtual cpus
- systems/<lpar-name>/cpus/<cpu-id>/type: Typ of cpu.
- systems/<lpar-name>/cpus/<cpu-id>/mgmtime:

CPU was assigned to the logical cpu and the cpu time was
consumed by the hypervisor and was not provided to
the LPAR (LPAR overhead).

- systems/<lpar-name>/cpus/<cpu-id>/cputime:
Accumulated number of microseconds during which a physical CPU
was assigned to the logical cpu and the cpu time was consumed

Accumulated number of microseconds during which the logical CPU
has been online.

As mount point for the filesystem /sys/hypervisor/s390 is created.

The update process is triggered when writing 'something' into the
'update' file at the top level hypfs directory. You can do this e.g.
with 'echo 1 > update'. During the update the whole directory structure
is deleted and built up again.

This uninlines a few large functions in uaccess.h and cleans up the rest.
It includes a (hopefully temporary) workaround for the broken typeof of
gcc-4.1.

Rafael J. Wysocki [Fri, 23 Jun 2006 09:04:48 +0000 (02:04 -0700)]
[PATCH] swsusp: use less memory during resume

Make swsusp allocate only as much memory as needed to store the image data
and metadata during resume.

Without this patch swsusp additionally allocates many page frames that will
conflict with the "original" locations of the image data and are considered
as "unsafe", treating them as "eaten" pages (ie.  allocated but unusable).

The patch makes swsusp allocate as many pages as it'll need to store the
data read from the image in one shot, creating a list of allocated "safe"
pages, and use the observation that all pages allocated by it are marked
with the PG_nosave and PG_nosave_free flags set.  Â Namely, when it's about
to load an image page, swsusp can check whether the page frame
corresponding to the "original" location of this page has been allocated
(ie.  if the page frame has the PG_nosave and PG_nosave_free flags set) and
if so, it can load the page directly into this page frame.  Â Otherwise it
uses an allocated "safe" page from the list to store the data that will be
copied to their "original" location later on.

This allows us to save many page copyings and page allocations during
resume and in the future it may allow us to load images greater than 50% of
the normal zone.

The i386 page fault handler does not allow enough slack when checking for

[PATCH] x86: kernel irq balance doesn't work

On i386, kernel irq balance doesn't work.

1) In function do_irq_balance, after kernel finds the min_loaded cpu but
   before calling set_pending_irq to really pin the selected_irq to the
   target cpu, kernel does a cpus_and with irq_affinity[selected_irq].
   Later on, when the irq is acked, kernel would calls
   move_native_irq=>desc->handler->set_affinity to change the irq affinity.
    However, every function pointed by
   hw_interrupt_type->set_affinity(unsigned int irq, cpumask_t cpumask)
   always changes irq_affinity[irq] to cpumask.  Next time when recalling
   do_irq_balance, it has to do cpu_ands again with
   irq_affinity[selected_irq], but irq_affinity[selected_irq] already
   becomes one cpu selected by the first irq balance.

2) Function balance_irq in file arch/i386/kernel/io_apic.c has the same
   issue.

[PATCH] fix x86 microcode driver handling of multiple matching revisions

When multiple updates matching a given CPU are found in the update file, the
action taken by the microcode update driver was inappropriate:

- when lower revision microcode was found before matching or higher revision
  one, the driver would needlessly complain that it would not downgrade the
  CPU
- when microcode matching the currently installed revision was found before
  newer revision code, no update would actually take place

To change this behavior, the driver now concludes about possibly updates and
issues messages only when the entire input was parsed.

Additionally, this adds back (in different places, and conditionalized upon
a new module option) some messages removed by a previous patch.

The definition of the third parameter is a pointer to an array of virtual
addresses which give us some trouble.  The existing code calculated the
wrong address in the array since I used void to avoid having to specify a
type.

I now use the correct type "compat_uptr_t __user *" in the definition of
the function in kernel/compat.c.

However, I used __u32 in syscalls.h.  Would have to include compat.h there
in order to provide the same definition which would generate an ugly
include situation.

On both ia64 and x86_64 compat_uptr_t is u32. So this works although

[PATCH] page migration: sys_move_pages(): support moving of individual pages

move_pages() is used to move individual pages of a process. The function can
be used to determine the location of pages and to move them onto the desired
node. move_pages() returns status information for each page.

long move_pages(pid, number_of_pages_to_move,
addresses_of_pages[],
nodes[] or NULL,
status[],
flags);

The addresses of pages is an array of void * pointing to the
pages to be moved.

The nodes array contains the node numbers that the pages should be moved
to. If a NULL is passed instead of an array then no pages are moved but
the status array is updated. The status request may be used to determine
the page state before issuing another move_pages() to move pages.

The status array will contain the state of all individual page migration
attempts when the function terminates. The status array is only valid if
move_pages() completed successfullly.

Possible page states in status[]:

0..MAX_NUMNODES The page is now on the indicated node.

-ENOENT Page is not present

-EACCES Page is mapped by multiple processes and can only
be moved if MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL is specified.

-EPERM The page has been mlocked by a process/driver and
cannot be moved.

-EBUSY Page is busy and cannot be moved. Try again later.

-EFAULT Invalid address (no VMA or zero page).

-ENOMEM Unable to allocate memory on target node.

-EIO Unable to write back page. The page must be written
back in order to move it since the page is dirty and the
filesystem does not provide a migration function that
would allow the moving of dirty pages.

-EINVAL A dirty page cannot be moved. The filesystem does not provide
a migration function and has no ability to write back pages.

The flags parameter indicates what types of pages to move:

MPOL_MF_MOVE Move pages that are only mapped by the process.

MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL Also move pages that are mapped by multiple processes.
Requires sufficient capabilities.

Possible return codes from move_pages()

-ENOENT No pages found that would require moving. All pages
are either already on the target node, not present, had an
invalid address or could not be moved because they were
mapped by multiple processes.

-EINVAL Flags other than MPOL_MF_MOVE(_ALL) specified or an attempt
to migrate pages in a kernel thread.

-EPERM MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL specified without sufficient priviledges.
or an attempt to move a process belonging to another user.

-EACCES One of the target nodes is not allowed by the current cpuset.

-ENODEV One of the target nodes is not online.

-ESRCH Process does not exist.

-E2BIG Too many pages to move.

-ENOMEM Not enough memory to allocate control array.

-EFAULT Parameters could not be accessed.

A test program for move_pages() may be found with the patches
on ftp.kernel.org:/pub/linux/kernel/people/christoph/pmig/patches-2.6.17-rc4-mm3

From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>

  Detailed results for sys_move_pages()

  Pass a pointer to an integer to get_new_page() that may be used to
  indicate where the completion status of a migration operation should be
  placed.  This allows sys_move_pags() to report back exactly what happened to
  each page.

  Wish there would be a better way to do this. Looks a bit hacky.
