* asm-generic/cacheflush.h: flush icache when copying to user pagesMike Frysinger2011-05-251-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The copy_to_user_page() function is supposed to flush the icache on the memory that was written, but the current asm-generic version lacks that logic. While normally it isn't a big deal as the asm-generic version of icache flushing is a stub, it is a deal for ports that want to use the asm-generic version as a baseline and then overlay its own specific parts (like icache flushing).

* mm: declare mpol_to_str() when CONFIG_TMPFS=nStephen Wilson2011-05-251-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When CONFIG_TMPFS=n mpol_to_str() is not declared in mempolicy.h. However, in the NUMA case, the definition is always compiled. Since it is not strictly true that tmpfs is the only client, and since the symbol was always lurking around anyways, export mpol_to_str() unconditionally. Furthermore, this will allow us to move show_numa_map() out of mempolicy.c and into the procfs subsystem.

* mm: export get_vma_policy()Stephen Wilson2011-05-251-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 48fce3429d ("mempolicies: unexport get_vma_policy()") get_vma_policy() was marked static as all clients were local to mempolicy.c. However, the decision to generate /proc/pid/numa_maps in the numa memory policy code and outside the procfs subsystem introduces an artificial interdependency between the two systems. Exporting get_vma_policy() once again is the first step to clean up this interdependency.

* tmpfs: implement generic xattr supportEric Paris2011-05-251-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement generic xattrs for tmpfs filesystems. The Feodra project, while trying to replace suid apps with file capabilities, realized that tmpfs, which is used on the build systems, does not support file capabilities and thus cannot be used to build packages which use file capabilities. Xattrs are also needed for overlayfs. The xattr interface is a bit odd. If a filesystem does not implement any {get,set,list}xattr functions the VFS will call into some random LSM hooks and the running LSM can then implement some method for handling xattrs. SELinux for example provides a method to support security.selinux but no other security.* xattrs. As it stands today when one enables CONFIG_TMPFS_POSIX_ACL tmpfs will have xattr handler routines specifically to handle acls. Because of this tmpfs would loose the VFS/LSM helpers to support the running LSM. To make up for that tmpfs had stub functions that did nothing but call into the LSM hooks which implement the helpers. This new patch does not use the LSM fallback functions and instead just implements a native get/set/list xattr feature for the full security.* and trusted.* namespace like a normal filesystem. This means that tmpfs can now support both security.selinux and security.capability, which was not previously possible. The basic implementation is that I attach a: struct shmem_xattr { struct list_head list; /* anchored by shmem_inode_info->xattr_list */ char *name; size_t size; char value[0]; }; Into the struct shmem_inode_info for each xattr that is set. This implementation could easily support the user.* namespace as well, except some care needs to be taken to prevent large amounts of unswappable memory being allocated for unprivileged users.

* mm: delete non-atomic mm counter implementationMatt Fleming2011-05-252-43/+10Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem with having two different types of counters is that developers adding new code need to keep in mind whether it's safe to use both the atomic and non-atomic implementations. For example, when adding new callers of the *_mm_counter() functions a developer needs to ensure that those paths are always executed with page_table_lock held, in case we're using the non-atomic implementation of mm counters. Hugh Dickins introduced the atomic mm counters in commit f412ac08c986 ("[PATCH] mm: fix rss and mmlist locking"). When asked why he left the non-atomic counters around he said, | The only reason was to avoid adding costly atomic operations into a | configuration that had no need for them there: the page_table_lock | sufficed. | | Certainly it would be simpler just to delete the non-atomic variant. | | And I think it's fair to say that any configuration on which we're | measuring performance to that degree (rather than "does it boot fast?" | type measurements), would already be going the split ptlocks route. Removing the non-atomic counters eases the maintenance burden because developers no longer have to mindful of the two implementations when using *_mm_counter(). Note that all architectures provide a means of atomically updating atomic_long_t variables, even if they have to revert to the generic spinlock implementation because they don't support 64-bit atomic instructions (see lib/atomic64.c).

* mm: break out page allocation warning codeDave Hansen2011-05-251-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This originally started as a simple patch to give vmalloc() some more verbose output on failure on top of the plain page allocator messages. Johannes suggested that it might be nicer to lead with the vmalloc() info _before_ the page allocator messages. But, I do think there's a lot of value in what __alloc_pages_slowpath() does with its filtering and so forth. This patch creates a new function which other allocators can call instead of relying on the internal page allocator warnings. It also gives this function private rate-limiting which separates it from other printk_ratelimit() users.

* mm: convert mm->cpu_vm_cpumask into cpumask_var_tKOSAKI Motohiro2011-05-252-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cpumask_t is very big struct and cpu_vm_mask is placed wrong position. It might lead to reduce cache hit ratio. This patch has two change. 1) Move the place of cpumask into last of mm_struct. Because usually cpumask is accessed only front bits when the system has cpu-hotplug capability 2) Convert cpu_vm_mask into cpumask_var_t. It may help to reduce memory footprint if cpumask_size() will use nr_cpumask_bits properly in future. In addition, this patch change the name of cpu_vm_mask with cpu_vm_mask_var. It may help to detect out of tree cpu_vm_mask users. This patch has no functional change.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rework the existing mmu_gather infrastructure. The direct purpose of these patches was to allow preemptible mmu_gather, but even without that I think these patches provide an improvement to the status quo. The first 9 patches rework the mmu_gather infrastructure. For review purpose I've split them into generic and per-arch patches with the last of those a generic cleanup. The next patch provides generic RCU page-table freeing, and the followup is a patch converting s390 to use this. I've also got 4 patches from DaveM lined up (not included in this series) that uses this to implement gup_fast() for sparc64. Then there is one patch that extends the generic mmu_gather batching. After that follow the mm preemptibility patches, these make part of the mm a lot more preemptible. It converts i_mmap_lock and anon_vma->lock to mutexes which together with the mmu_gather rework makes mmu_gather preemptible as well. Making i_mmap_lock a mutex also enables a clean-up of the truncate code. This also allows for preemptible mmu_notifiers, something that XPMEM I think wants. Furthermore, it removes the new and universially detested unmap_mutex. This patch: Remove the first obstacle towards a fully preemptible mmu_gather. The current scheme assumes mmu_gather is always done with preemption disabled and uses per-cpu storage for the page batches. Change this to try and allocate a page for batching and in case of failure, use a small on-stack array to make some progress. Preemptible mmu_gather is desired in general and usable once i_mmap_lock becomes a mutex. Doing it before the mutex conversion saves us from having to rework the code by moving the mmu_gather bits inside the pte_lock. Also avoid flushing the tlb batches from under the pte lock, this is useful even without the i_mmap_lock conversion as it significantly reduces pte lock hold times.

* mm: make expand_downwards() symmetrical with expand_upwards()Michal Hocko2011-05-251-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we have expand_upwards exported while expand_downwards is accessible only via expand_stack or expand_stack_downwards. check_stack_guard_page is a nice example of the asymmetry. It uses expand_stack for VM_GROWSDOWN while expand_upwards is called for VM_GROWSUP case. Let's clean this up by exporting both functions and make those names consistent. Let's use expand_{upwards,downwards} because expanding doesn't always involve stack manipulation (an example is ia64_do_page_fault which uses expand_upwards for registers backing store expansion). expand_downwards has to be defined for both CONFIG_STACK_GROWS{UP,DOWN} because get_arg_page calls the downwards version in the early process initialization phase for growsup configuration.

* oom: replace PF_OOM_ORIGIN with toggling oom_score_adjDavid Rientjes2011-05-252-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a kernel-wide shortage of per-process flags, so it's always helpful to trim one when possible without incurring a significant penalty. It's even more important when you're planning on adding a per- process flag yourself, which I plan to do shortly for transparent hugepages. PF_OOM_ORIGIN is used by ksm and swapoff to prefer current since it has a tendency to allocate large amounts of memory and should be preferred for killing over other tasks. We'd rather immediately kill the task making the errant syscall rather than penalizing an innocent task. This patch removes PF_OOM_ORIGIN since its behavior is equivalent to setting the process's oom_score_adj to OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX. The process's old oom_score_adj is stored and then set to OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX during the time it used to have PF_OOM_ORIGIN. The old value is then reinstated when the process should no longer be considered a high priority for oom killing.

* x86,mm: make pagefault killableKOSAKI Motohiro2011-05-251-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When an oom killing occurs, almost all processes are getting stuck at the following two points. 1) __alloc_pages_nodemask 2) __lock_page_or_retry 1) is not very problematic because TIF_MEMDIE leads to an allocation failure and getting out from page allocator. 2) is more problematic. In an OOM situation, zones typically don't have page cache at all and memory starvation might lead to greatly reduced IO performance. When a fork bomb occurs, TIF_MEMDIE tasks don't die quickly, meaning that a fork bomb may create new process quickly rather than the oom-killer killing it. Then, the system may become livelocked. This patch makes the pagefault interruptible by SIGKILL.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Architectures that implement their own show_mem() function did not pass the filter argument to show_free_areas() to appropriately avoid emitting the state of nodes that are disallowed in the current context. This patch now passes the filter argument to show_free_areas() so those nodes are now avoided. This patch also removes the show_free_areas() wrapper around __show_free_areas() and converts existing callers to pass an empty filter. ia64 emits additional information for each node, so skip_free_areas_zone() must be made global to filter disallowed nodes and it is converted to use a nid argument rather than a zone for this use case.

This leaves the problem of cleaning up the lock state in userspace. This has three parts: 1. Add a flag to unlock operations sent to userspace indicating the file is being closed. Userspace will then look for and clear any waiting plock operations that were abandoned by an interrupted process. 2. Queue an unlock-close operation (like in 1) to clean up userspace from an interrupted plock request. This is needed because the vfs will not send a cleanup-unlock if it sees no locks on the file, which it won't if the interrupted operation was the only one. 3. Do not use replies from userspace for unlock-close operations because they are unnecessary (they are just cleaning up for the process which did not make an unlock call). This also simplifies the new unlock-close generated from point 2. Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com>
