Taint kernel after WARN_ON(condition)
The kernel is sent to tainted within the warn_on_slowpath() function, and
whenever a warning occurs the new taint flag 'W' is set. This is useful to
know if a warning occurred before a BUG by preserving the warning as a flag
in the taint state.
This does not work on architectures where WARN_ON has its own definition.
These archs are:
1. s390
2. superh
3. avr32
4. parisc
The maintainers of these architectures have been added in the Cc: list
in this email to alert them to the situation.
The documentation in oops-tracing.txt has been updated to include the
new flag.

Epoll calls rb_set_parent(n, n) to initialize the rb-tree node, but
rb_set_parent() accesses node's pointer in its code. This creates a
warning in kmemcheck (reported by Vegard Nossum) about an uninitialized
memory access. The warning is harmless since the following rb-tree node
insert is going to overwrite the node data. In any case I think it's
better to not have that happening at all, and fix it by simplifying the
code to get rid of a few lines that became superfluous after the previous
epoll changes.

Add __GFP_REPEAT to hugepage allocations. Do so to not necessitate userspace
putting pressure on the VM by repeated echo's into /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
to grow the pool. With the previous patch to allow for large-order
__GFP_REPEAT attempts to loop for a bit (as opposed to indefinitely), this
increases the likelihood of getting hugepages when the system experiences (or
recently experienced) load.
Mel tested the patchset on an x86_32 laptop. With the patches, it was easier
to use the proc interface to grow the hugepage pool. The following is the
output of a script that grows the pool as much as possible running on
2.6.25-rc9.

page allocator: smarter retry of costly-order allocations
Because of page order checks in __alloc_pages(), hugepage (and similarly
large order) allocations will not retry unless explicitly marked
__GFP_REPEAT. However, the current retry logic is nearly an infinite
loop (or until reclaim does no progress whatsoever). For these costly
allocations, that seems like overkill and could potentially never
terminate. Mel observed that allowing current __GFP_REPEAT semantics for
hugepage allocations essentially killed the system. I believe this is
because we may continue to reclaim small orders of pages all over, but
never have enough to satisfy the hugepage allocation request. This is
clearly only a problem for large order allocations, of which hugepages
are the most obvious (to me).
Modify try_to_free_pages() to indicate how many pages were reclaimed.
Use that information in __alloc_pages() to eventually fail a large
__GFP_REPEAT allocation when we've reclaimed an order of pages equal to
or greater than the allocation's order. This relies on lumpy reclaim
functioning as advertised. Due to fragmentation, lumpy reclaim may not
be able to free up the order needed in one invocation, so multiple
iterations may be requred. In other words, the more fragmented memory
is, the more retry attempts __GFP_REPEAT will make (particularly for
higher order allocations).
This changes the semantics of __GFP_REPEAT subtly, but *only* for
allocations > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. With this patch, for those size
allocations, we will try up to some point (at least 1<<order reclaimed
pages), rather than forever (which is the case for allocations <=
PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER).
This change improves the /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages interface with a
follow-on patch that makes pool allocations use __GFP_REPEAT. Rather
than administrators repeatedly echo'ing a particular value into the
sysctl, and forcing reclaim into action manually, this change allows for
the sysctl to attempt a reasonable effort itself. Similarly, dynamic
pool growth should be more successful under load, as lumpy reclaim can
try to free up pages, rather than failing right away.
Choosing to reclaim only up to the order of the requested allocation
strikes a balance between not failing hugepage allocations and returning
to the caller when it's unlikely to every succeed. Because of lumpy
reclaim, if we have freed the order requested, hopefully it has been in
big chunks and those chunks will allow our allocation to succeed. If
that isn't the case after freeing up the current order, I don't think it
is likely to succeed in the future, although it is possible given a
particular fragmentation pattern.

The definition and use of __GFP_REPEAT, __GFP_NOFAIL and __GFP_NORETRY in the
core VM have somewhat differing comments as to their actual semantics.
Annoyingly, the flags definition has inline and header comments, which might
be interpreted as not being equivalent. Just add references to the header
comments in the inline ones so they don't go out of sync in the future. In
their use in __alloc_pages() clarify that the current implementation treats
low-order allocations and __GFP_REPEAT allocations as distinct cases.
To clarify, the flags' semantics are:
__GFP_NORETRY means try no harder than one run through __alloc_pages
__GFP_REPEAT means __GFP_NOFAIL
__GFP_NOFAIL means repeat forever
order <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER means __GFP_NOFAIL
usemap must be initialized only when pfn is within zone. If not, it corrupts
memory.
And this patch also reduces the number of calls to set_pageblock_migratetype()
from
(pfn & (pageblock_nr_pages -1)
to
!(pfn & (pageblock_nr_pages-1)
it should be called once per pageblock.

x86_64 vDSO: use initdata
The 64-bit vDSO image is in a special ".vdso" section for no reason
I can determine. Furthermore, the location of the vdso_end symbol
includes some wrongly-calculated padding space in the image, which
is then (correctly) rounded to page size, resulting in an extra page
of zeros in the image mapped in to user processes.
This changes it to put the vdso.so image into normal initdata as we
have always done for the 32-bit vDSO images. The extra padding is
gone, so the user VMA is one page instead of two. The image that
was already copied around at boot time is now in initdata, so we
recover that wasted space after boot.

PowerPC will start moving board defconfigs into subarch-specific
subdirs soon. "make help" currently does not look in subdirs to
find the defconfigs to show. This is partially a good thing,
since there are way too many defconfigs for one list.
This patch makes the main "make help" display something like
help-40x - Show 40x-specific targets
help-44x - Show 44x-specific targets
help-boards - Show all of the above
and wires up stuff so those new help-* commands actually work.

This bug was introduced in the 2.6.24 i386/x86_64 tree merge, where
MSI-X vector allocation will eventually fail. The cause is the new
bit array tracking used vectors is not getting cleared properly on
IRQ destruction on the 32-bit APIC code.
This can be seen easily using the ixgbe 10 GbE driver on multi-core
systems by simply loading and unloading the driver a few times.
Depending on the number of available vectors on the host system, the
MSI-X allocation will eventually fail, and the driver will only be
able to use legacy interrupts.
I am generating the same patch for both stable trees for 2.6.24 and
2.6.25.

[MIPS] Pb1200/DBAu1200: move platform code to its proper place
Since both the IDE interface and SMC 91C111 Ethernet chip are on-board
devices, not SOC devices, move the platform device registration form the
common to the board specific code.
While at it, remove semicolon (which didn't break compilation only by
chance) from the AU1XXX_ATA_DDMA_REQ macro and do some renaming:
- change 'au1200_ide0_' variable name prefix to the mere 'ide_';
- change 'smc91x_' variable name prefix to 'smc91c111_' since that's the
name of the chip used on the boards;
- drop 'AU1XXX_' prefix from the names of macros describing IDE and Ethernet
on-board devices;
- change 'SMC91111_' to 'SMC91C111_', change 'IRQ' to 'INT' in the names of
the macros describing the Ethernet chip for consistency with the IDE
macros;
- change 'ATA_' to 'IDE_' and 'OFFSET' to 'SHIFT' (since this value is
indeed a shift count) in the names of the macros describing the IDE
interface.
