fixrange_init() allocates page tables for all addresses higher than FIXADDR_TOP. On processors that override the default FIXADDR_TOP address of 0xfffe_0000, this can consume up to 4 pages (1 page per 4MB) for pgd's that are never used.

Memory maps and addressing quirks are normally defined in <spaces.h>. There are already three targets that need to override FIXADDR_TOP, and others exist. This will be a cleaner approach than adding lots of ifdefs in fixmap.h .

On processors with deep write buffers, it is likely that many cycles will pass between a CACHE instruction and the time the data actually gets written out to DRAM. Add a SYNC instruction to ensure that the buffers get emptied before the flush functions return. Actual problem seen in the wild: 1) dma_alloc_coherent() allocates cached memory 2) memset() is called to clear the new pages 3) dma_cache_wback_inv() is called to flush the zero data out to memory 4) dma_alloc_coherent() returns an uncached (kseg1) pointer to the freshly allocated pages 5) Caller writes data through the kseg1 pointer 6) Buffered writeback data finally gets flushed out to DRAM 7) Part of caller's data is inexplicably zeroed out This patch adds SYNC between steps 3 and 4, which fixed the problem.

pfn_valid() compares the PFN to max_mapnr: __pfn >= min_low_pfn && __pfn < max_mapnr; On HIGHMEM kernels, highend_pfn is used to set the value of max_mapnr. Unfortunately, highend_pfn is left at zero if the system does not actually have enough RAM to reach into the HIGHMEM range. This causes pfn_valid() to always return false, and when debug checks are enabled the kernel will fail catastrophically: Memory: 22432k/32768k available (2249k kernel code, 10336k reserved, 653k data, 1352k init, 0k highmem) NR_IRQS:128 kfree_debugcheck: out of range ptr 81c02900h. Kernel bug detected[#1]: Cpu 0 $ 0 : 00000000 10008400 00000034 00000000 $ 4 : 8003e160 802a0000 8003e160 00000000 $ 8 : 00000000 0000003e 00000747 00000747 ... On such a configuration, max_low_pfn should be used to set max_mapnr. This was seen on 2.6.34.

This patch introduced topdown mmap support in user process address space allocation policy. Recently, we ran some large applications that use mmap heavily and lead to OOM due to inflexible mmap allocation policy on MIPS32. Since most other major archs supported it for years, it is reasonable to follow the trend and reduce the pain of porting applications. Due to cache aliasing concern, arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() and other helper functions are implemented in arch/mips/kernel/syscall.c.

Since 6be63bbb (lmo) rsp. af3a1f6f (kernel.org) the Malta code does no longer probe for presence of GCMP if CMP is not configured. This means that the variable gcmp_present well be left at its default value of -1 which normally is meant to indicate that GCMP has not yet been mmapped. This non-zero value is now interpreted as GCMP being present resulting in a write attempt to a GCMP register resulting in a crash.

I'm running a workload which triggers a lot of swap in a machine with 4 nodes. After I kill the workload, I found a kswapd livelock. Sometimes kswapd3 or kswapd2 are keeping running and I can't access filesystem, but most memory is free. This looks like a regression since commit 08951e54 ("mm: vmscan: correct check for kswapd sleeping in sleeping_prematurely"). Node 2 and 3 have only ZONE_NORMAL, but balance_pgdat() will return 0 for classzone_idx. The reason is end_zone in balance_pgdat() is 0 by default, if all zones have watermark ok, end_zone will keep 0. Later sleeping_prematurely() always returns true. Because this is an order 3 wakeup, and if classzone_idx is 0, both balanced_pages and present_pages in pgdat_balanced() are 0. We add a special case here. If a zone has no page, we think it's balanced. This fixes the livelock.

open(2) must always include one of O_RDONLY, O_WRONLY, or O_RDWR. No need for any O_APPEND special case. Passing O_WRONLY|O_RDWR is undefined according to the man page, but the Linux VFS interprets this as O_RDWR, so we'll do the same. This fixes open(2) with flags O_RDWR|O_APPEND, which was incorrectly being translated to readonly. Reported-by: Fyodor Ustinov <ufm@ufm.su> Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net>
